Layers included in a saved Style

Hi... sorry if this questions has already come up, but could not find in the search.

Can Layers be included in a saved Style? I have several styles made as based adjustments for my different cameras and type of photography/subject matter. For example, I have a "base" Style for my Fuji 50R files that applies with a heavy "clarity" adjustment setting, once applied to the image I then add an empty layer dialing down the clarity value to brush over skin or other unwanted areas. I was hoping to speed this process by including this empty layer already in my saved Style.

However, when I go to save a new style from an image with layers, there is no option to include layers... and when I apply the style to the next image, the layers are not included. Nevertheless, adjustments layers can be copied from one image to another using tradition copy and paste.

I am doing something wrong... or is this not possible. Many thanks!

  I am looking for the same solution.
  
  I need to save layers in a style and want to automatically apply the style in a session in the Studio. How Can I do this?

  I can write a very simple Applescript that creates a new layer and copies the adjustments of a style to that layer. (later this weekend)
  
  Ccpying the adjustments of a style to a layer can also be done manually.

  As promised here's an applescript that creates a new layer in the slected variant with filled mask, and copies the adjustments of some style to that layer.
  
  set styleName to "ReferenceStyle"
tell application "Capture One 12" to tell primary variant
set theNewLayer to make new layer
fill mask theNewLayer
apply style theNewLayer named styleName
end tell
  
  To make this useful, all you need to do is:
  
  

  • save the adjustments you want as a style called "ReferenceStyle"
  
  
  • Using Script Editor, save this script to the folder [color=#0000FF:2aiocayo]/Users/yourusername/Library/Scripts/Capture One Scripts[/color:2aiocayo]
    • replace yourusername with your user name on your Mac
    • Choose a memorable name for the script
  • Execute "Scripts>Update Scripts Menu" in Capture One

  
  When you have selected a new variant, select this script from the Capture One Scripts menu, and the variant will get a new layer with a filled mask and your style applied.
