If I understand you correctly, this is a function thet Capture One does not have; consequently you cannot make it happen with Applescript.
In Capture One, all layers refer to the same image.
Only the overlay refers to another image.-1 -
I don’t have much free time at the moment but I feel like this would be possible if used as a batch processing done script.
You might be able to have a script that launches the built in jsx or maybe a script that get deminsions of an image create new blank image and then places the argv’s from the batch processing done.
Hope that sparks some ideas if I find a spare hour or two I’ll have a look at it.0 -
When you say "like lightroom have", I am not clear exactly what it is you are intending to do... can you shed more light on your request - perhaps some sort of step by step actions?
Thanks

I'm looking for something similar; LR has the option to open multiple images at once 'as layers in photoshop', which speeds up editing. While of course one can use scripts in PS to load images into stack, I would imagine that someone with AppleScript skills could get this working. To clarify, these are photoshop layers, not referring to C1 layers.

Capture One comes with a script to do this in the Scripts menu. Is it not working?

I wasn't aware that it did; my scripts menu only contains a 'stitch with photoshop' item, which upon testing seems to working in a similar way, despite the stitching name. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Whit,
To write an applescript to open a collection of files and populate a photoshop file with a unique layer per file should be simple enough.
The only issues I can see are:
1. Have any adjustments been made prior in C1, and need the adjusted file to be added as a layer in photoshop?
2. Do you want to select images in C1, run the applescript, and have applescript figure out the images to open in photoshop, or that you will locate the files in finder and then run the script to open them in photoshop?
In scenario 1, if you need to open files that have adjustments made in C1, then prior to running the script you will need to export a hires version of the adjusted file as, lets say Tiff, first, and then have the script open those files up as separate unique layers in photoshop.
As for 2, i would need to see if the applescript library has a command to see which images are selected, at which point the script can just operate from there. (remember that point 1 may interfere here because of the exporting required)
Lets me know if the files are adjusted first in C1 prior to opening aa layers, or if its just the main files from C1.
Hope that helps
Thanks
Stewart
ps The adjusted file approach will be very disk space intensive sadly :(
