Hi, I simply want to save the file with the layered image, unflattened and it doesn't need to be saved with a new name or in a new folder.
By @jensou
As I said, when it comes to scripting - you need to think about it... There are two separate input folders, so where to save, this is not clear? Input folder A (overwriting), input folder B (overwriting), or somewhere else?
EDIT: Apologies, you did explain in your original post which file should be saved/overwritten.
As the input files are TIFF, do you wish to save layered TIFF or layered PSD?
EDIT: I'll presume layered TIFF.
NOTE: The scripts that I posted don't check/match filenames, they just expect/presume that the files in each folder are naturally alphabetically sorting and have the same names so that the correct files are just "naturally" paired.
This updated generic script adds a single unified user interface window.
v1.0 Features:
* Select the 1st input folder (lower layer)
* Select the 2nd input folder (upper layer)
* Select the output folder
* Supported input formats: PNG, JPG, TIFF, PSD, PSB, WEBP (the underlying code is easily changed to add more formats)
* Files will be stacked in alpha/numeric sort order from each input folder
* Supported output formats: PSD, TIFF (layers or flattened) or JPG (flattened), PNG or WEBP.
* Option to Remove all supported XMP metadata
* Dropdown menus to select a loaded action set and action to play on the top layer of each set (the action can then select other layers as needed for additional processing)
What it doesn't do: The script doesn't attempt to auto-align the stacked paired documents. All images must have the same pixel dimensions and resolution PPI values.

Stephen Marsh
v1.0 - 17th October 2024
v1.1 - 15th November 2024, WebP save format support added
v1.2 - 17th November 2024, Added "user friendly" file format variables for save options for PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PNG and WEBP formats
v1.3 - 29th January 2025, Added PSB Large Document Format save option
v1.4 - 30th January 2025, Added a dropdown menu to select different file naming options
v1.5 - 30th April 2025, Added an option to the renaming dropdown to use the combined layer names to name the files (in reverse order)

Note: It is expected that the filenames in both folders alphabetically sort in the correct order and that all files are the same pixel dimensions and resolution/PPI value.
