A while back @Stephen_A_Marsh created a script for me to import Remove.bg files as layers including a layermask into a template file. At that time, and for that particular case, making the image a smart object was not desirable. It would interfere with the warping process. See the original post here (including examples)
But now I want to re-use the script for a slightly different flow and wish to have the imported layer be a smart object of the original image and, on top of it, the layer mask.
Is somebody or perhaps the master@Stephen_A_Marsh himself 😅 Able to assist me?
