Making Scripts for repeated Tasks: Eyes layer with exposure

Hi people!

I repeat making the same adjustments over and over again. Skintone Layer, Eyes layer, etc.
I'd like to script them. But I really havent got any clue how to do this 😂

For example.

Make new layer named Eyes, no mask, exposure + 0,1, shadow + 0,5, clarity+1 opacity 100%
How should this best be done?

I have managed to make new layer called "Skintone" Found it somewhere along the way and renamed it.


tell application "Capture One 20"
	repeat with thisVariant in (get selected variants)
		set newLayerIndex to 1 + (count of every layer of thisVariant)
		set theNewLayer to make new layer of thisVariant with properties {name:"Skintone"}
	end repeat
end tell

I'd be so glad if you guys helped me.

I found this script helpful in learning how to do something similar:

It worked! Great! Thank you 😄
I have adjusted the script now it works.

tell application "Capture One 20"
	tell layers of primary variant
		set dehazeLayer to make new layer with properties {name:"Eyes", kind:adjustment, opacity:100} at end
		tell adjustments of dehazeLayer
			set exposure to 0.25
			set clarity amount to 40
			set shadow recovery to 50
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

Eye enhancer: check!
Dunno if the word dehazeLayer needs to stay, but it works!

Is there a way to apply a style / preset to a layer via apple script?
