Thanks for the speedy replies, guys.
The trouble is that I need the selection to be in the shape of a layer.
I'll use that selection to delete an area of another layer later in the
script.
I tried using the select all method and then pasting to an alpha channel,
but the position changes. So my question is:
Does anyone know how to either:
1) Use the current layer to generate a selection shape
2) Generate an alpha channel from the current layer without changing
position?
I could do the first one with a combination of applescript and photoshop
action, but if there's a way to do it all in applescript, that'd be ideal.
Thanks again,
