Open several images as levels in Photoshop

NNN635929439528850192
Hi everybody,
I'm a new user, I'm learning Capture One's world since a couple of months.
As still life photographer, I find myself to mount different images as levels in photoshop, using masks.
Previously in Lightroom I used to use the specific command "Open as levels" in Photoshop, which opens multiple images as a single image with levels.
Is there the same command in Capture Ore or do I have to open each single image and then move it in one single image?

Thank you in advance,
Paolo

    There isn't such a command, so it is a case of opening each one separately.

    I don't know about Windows, but there's a somewhat kludgy way to do this on a Mac:

    Go to the Scripts menu and select "Stitch with Photoshop". The first time you do this you'll need to authorize C1 in the Accessibility preference pane,

    C1 will hand the images off to Photoshop and Photoshop will proceed to try and stitch the images. Of course if the set isn't a pano, PS won't be able to stitch, but that's OK.

    After PS goes through its machinations, I've been shown a dialog to choose between stitching and aligning the layers. I choose to align.

    After a little more processing, each image will be in its own layer and each layer will have a mask. Right-click on each layer and delete the masks and you're left with what you asked for.

    This works with PS CS6 and I assume CC as well. It may work with earlier versions. Again, this is for the Mac and may be different (or not exist) for Windows.

    Kludgy indeed. I have tried this once, and found that C1P also started the output processing for all my selected process recipes. I haven't tried it since then, maybe it was a user error, but you may want to turn off your 'send to Facebook, instagram, twitter, flickr, 500pix' recipes. Just in case! 😊

    Cheers,
    Peter.
