Can you create a render element to mask by layers?

[KeithM12]

Hi,

I'm aware that you create a crypotmatte render element to render by layers but from my reading to utilise this in Photoshop you'll have to use 32 bit format. Is there a way to create this with TIFFs at 16 bit?

So far I haven't had any luck. Is there somthing else I ca use to render masks by layer?

Thanks.

And sorry I should say I want to seperate the masks to seperate layers like crypto can

[KeithM12]

Ah I just noticed that it saves it in the RGB channels. So maybe I don't need to sperate them all

PSD Manager is your friend. A mask for every layer.

Thanks!

Have you ever used Pulze Post Manager?

Wrote you a script that will create a mask (MultiMatteElement) for each layer. Try it out.

Oh amazing!

Gonna try in out in a while once Iget some work done. Thanks a million and I'll let you know how I get on

hermit.crab is there any way to choose which layers you want? I'm being greedy now ha

also you can use the exr.io pluigin for photoshop and use the standard cryptomatte.
