User Styles

Can a User Style be made and saved that just creates layers?  Almost every image I process uses two layers and it would be nice if they just were there instead of my having to create them every time.

  No.

  The most obvious challenge would likely be masking to suit the layer(s) on variable subjects.

  If masking is not an issue then one wonders why presets on the Background layer, applied as part of the import routine, fails for your needs. Then work from there on identifying a solution for you now rather than at some possible point in the future.

  If you do always use the same layers with the same settings then one possible approach is to simply create a reference image with those layers in place (one wonders is any image could be used) and simply copy from that to all new mages.

  In effect that is an approach I use for editing a session although as most of my images are NOT created in a controlled lighting or subject managed environment the use of previous layers can be quite changeable and adjustments to layers are frequent - often then carried forward to subsequent shots.

  Rarely, in my case, do I ever think a single layer and its adjustments might be carried forward across a large number of images. That said the availability of Luma base masking has at least opened up the possibilities of reasonably successful layer and mask adjustments in some situations. Maybe a batch of 20 shots from time to time for example. Even then I cannot imagine simply applying the layers and assuming they would not need some refining.

  I don't want anything but a pair of blank layers to be placed on every image that I have selected to edit. No masks on them and certainly no edited masks.

  This would merely be a time save for me. Rather than having to either select from the Layers tool + and then "Empty Adjustment Layer" time after time, they would just appear after one key stroke.  I actually have changed that to a custom keyboard shortcut (in my case SHIFT+A) but with one keystroke (say F6) I could add those Layers. 

  Now that I think about it if I could do that I'd have two empty, two filled, two cloned and two heal layers created with one key stroke.  Who cares if I used any of them? They'd be there when or if I needed them.  If I need more than two empty (or whatever) layers then creating extras then the long way is OK.  This is just about speeding up workflow and eliminating superfluous keystrokes.

  Hi David!

  This would merely be a time save for me. Rather than having to either select from the Layers tool + and then "Empty Adjustment Layer" time after time, they would just appear after one key stroke.

  You could save time if you change a little bit in your workflow: Do not create a layer and then select your tool to fill it. Select a tool to use (healing or clonig pen or adjustment mask tool) and begin to work in your image. You will see that the necessary layer will be created automatically. No reason to create a lyer before.

  This works in this way since V20 (after second last update).

  Hope this helps!
  Kind regards
  Ernst
