Hi Jay,
I just checked, and I don't think you're going to be able to AppleScript the
merging at all--at least not easily.
GUI scripting will not work as I can see, because most palettes are not
given a window title to refer to when GUI scripting. AND the merge channels
is not available in any of the menus, it's proprietary to the palette. So
thus, no way to GUI script. (didn't test the keyboard shortcuts though--then
you can script GUI keystrokes)
if you:
set theChannels to split channels
a reference to the new individual documents is returned. Conceptually, all I
can think to do, is save each of these documents separately. Then create a
new RGB or CMYK document the same size as the channel documents. Then open
each channel doc, and copy and paste all from the channel doc, to the
desired channel of the new document. So it would be some type of
automated-manual-merging-technique!
The merging in the PS CS ASDictionary, only refers to channels within the
same document, not multiple files.
Best luck,
Jake
