Designer to Painter bridge

I mean  not just like “export to PSD”   but rather an ability to  re-export  to certain  layers while not overwriting  Painter file entirely  and all the work  done there .  In a word  a way to cash selected nodes rasterized   in  Designer and update them as layers and masks   in Painter .   Doing sbsars is such a pain. 

I could do all this manually probably  by exporting a set of outputs , bring them to painter layers   and update on demand there  but would be nice to have it all automated one click solution .   Maybe some python script in Painter or something . 

 

  I think chat GPT  could easily do such script for Photoshop  but I never managed to make it to do  anything  working for Painter.

    Hey Kirill, thanks for the feedback.
    I think I see what you mean but I’m not entirely sure… the new live-link in Painter does more or less what you describe and I’m not sure why using sbsar would be a pain? If you want to use bitmaps only, then having them piped into outputs in your graph with autoexport enabled should do the trick? 

    Feel free to do a quick recording of what you’d want because the interop with Painter is something we really want to improve 🙏
