Copying 2 channels into 1 document

Post by moocowfish »

Hi,
I wish this was possible in actions, which im familiar with, but i think its a stretch too far.

I have 3 same size images, generated from a 3D program, and i wish to copy the red channels from 2 images into alpha channels of the third and then save as a tif file. This process will be repeated to hundreds of files. The naming sequence increases by one each time ie:

SUB_0000 - master image
SUB_VRayMtlID0000 - copy red channel into master file, alpha 1
SUB_VRayObjectID0000 - copy red channel into master file, alpha 2

SUB_0001 - master image
SUB_VRayMtlID0001 - copy red channel into master file, alpha 1
SUB_VRayObjectID0001 - copy red channel into master file, alpha 2

Is this possible?? I am new to scripts and would not know where to start. Ideally working off my desktop from 2 folders. To Process, and Processed.

Thanks for any help or ideas.
