Elements + Command to Add Blank Layer ??? Apr 17, 2020 19:30:36 GMT

Elements 7 +
Being able to perform tasks on a whole stack of images at once is really proving to be a big help to me.

Is it possible to create commands to add to Batch Optimized that are not in the list of commands ?
I need a command to add a blank/empty layer to the top of the layer stack.
If this is possible, then can I also put a name on that blank layer ?

Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.

Elements 7 ~~~ 64-bit Windows 7

On a poverty-level Kentucky budget, a 24-exposure roll of film would have two Christmases and a summer vacation on it and we might have to wait another six months before being able to afford developing the film.
I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

Hello BuckSkin
I'm afraid, Elements+7 provides no way to create a custom command.
However, E+ "Batch" tool lets you combine multiple scripts.
So, try to invent an alternative algorithm with the available "command"-scripts.

In Elements+11 and above, recording custom scripts/commands is facilitated with "Macros" feature:

Thanks.
Even if I am not able to program it to perform every task that I would wish, those tasks that it does perform are saving me a bunch of time and drudgery.
