delete multiple layers from multiple images
I'm working on a focus stack of 50 images. Using the Adjustments Clipboard, I applied edits to all 50, and I did this a few times. Then I found that each time I'd done this, C1 had created duplicate layers. So now I have 50 images, each with about 6 copies of the same layer, which means 6x the adjustment strength.
I can find no way to get rid of these bogus layers from all 50 at once. If I remove them from one image, copy the adjustments from that image and apply them to the rest, it has no effect on the extra layers.
I tried selecting a group of images and deleting a layer; only one of the selected images was affected.
Removing all these duplicates from 50 images, one by one, is not something I look forward to.
This is just a mess. Surely there is a way to remove layers from multiple images at once?

The only way I know of is a full reset on the images. If you have important adjustments on the background layer of each image, you could make a clone before resetting and copy the adjustments from each background layer from the clone to the resetted variant, one by one, then delete the extra clones.

Yes that's what I ended up doing - resetting all but one, then copying adjustments from that one to the rest.
To me, this creation of duplicate layers is obviously a bug and I'm very sure it's fairly new because I've done plenty of stacks like this before. Maybe it came in with the update I just installed (the one with multiple clone targets, etc.).0 -
It came in, apparently by popular demand, with V20.
Presumably this who asked for copy of layers to be additional rather than replacement are delighted but those, like yourself, whose workflow may be based on and rely on replacement of existing layers are not.
The one obvious possible solution is to ask users what they wish to do at run time.
However, whether the individual user being asked will have an answer they feel comfortable with at that exact moment may be in doubt for many of them.
The only approach I can think of for mass correction is pretty much what BeO outlined and so what you have done.
However, its success might depend up at which stage in your process you apply things like crops, keystone correction, keywords, etc.

I can't see the logic. What it means is that you can only use Adjustments Clipboard to copy layers once. If you do it again, you get duplicates, which obviously no one ever wants. Previously, the problem was that if you did this you knocked out existing layers in the target image. But exchanging one problem for another isn't progress.
This is going to be a real headache for me in the future as I work with large stacks. I suppose it would be pointless to submit a "support ticket".

I don't think submitting a support ticket is pointless, even if chances might be low it is almost the only chance.
We came from erasing all layers when copy/apply layers.
Now they are all added on top.
Couldn't there be an intermediate solution: don't delete layers in the target image, overwrite layers with the same name, add the others on top.
This would probably require that layer names in the scope of one variant are unique (we don't have this restriction currently).

Layer Headache - I do love the Layer Section a much welcomed feature. But to break with style of Capture in terms of duplicating when applying to multiple layers (thus doubling in layers) instead of replacing does not seem logical when coping and pasting. If there is an option to stop this happening and clearly labelled I for one would welcome the addition. Elsewhere keep up the good work and thanks. Eddie
