Help appreciated, complex scripts required

Hi forum,

we have the following scenario (using enfocus switch) and need two scripts for this:

1. a PSD-File containing a masked layerset with hardcoded name (e.g. "Set 1") will be opened. The layerset "Set 1"contains a random number of adjustment-layers. The script has to save only the layerset "Set 1" with its content but without the mask on the layerset to a hardcoded path (e.g. ~/Documents/temp/correction.psd) as PSD file.

2. in a second automation-workflow jpg-Files are opened and the layerset "Set 1" from "~/Documents/temp/correction.psd" should be placed on top of the background layer. after that the existing path "Path 1" (exists in all JPG files) has to be set as mask on layerset "Set 1" and the document can then be flattened. next, select path "Path 1", invert selection and fill with white, save file as JPG, maximum quality.

any help with this is greatly appreciated, thanks very much in advance!

Why use the Path as a Mask when then inverted Path will be filled with white anyway?

But why fill with white to begin with?
If the images are intended to be used clipped later on this will unnecessarily damage the edge pixels.

thanks, you are right with that one:

the objects must be surrounded by white for use in some sort of webshop-system, i believe.
