Add a script to allow Adobe Bridge to send stacks to Macro Studio (like Lightroom)

Feature Request

You recently added a script to go from Adobe Lightroom to Macro Studio, I’d like to request that you do the same for those of us who use Adobe Bridge. I’d like to be able to select the images I want to stack in Bridge, then go to the Tools Menu and select “Send to Macro Studio”.

There is a way to extend the Tools menu using JavaScript, I’ve installed a few (https://github.com/9yz/bridge-scripts).

Cheers,

Mario

    Today I found something in the way stacking from Adobe Bridge works, that isn’t quite right…it’s a really small thing, but I thought I’d mention it.

    When saving my stacks, I output 3 files, a JPG, a DNG, and a TIFF. I’ve done this a few times without issue. Today, I decided to save the three files to a new folder, at the same level as the folder that holds my TIFFs. (My TIFFS are here: D:/Pictures/11360913/TIFF Files. My selected location for the stacked images was: D:/Pictures/11360913/Stacked)

    I got this warning:

    It warns that “Lightroom can only group this result with the originals when….”. But, I did not use Lightroom. I used Bridge, opening the files in Macro Studio with the recently released Bridge script.

    For me at least, this isn’t a big deal, but it did scare the heck out of me when the red warning popped up.

    Hey @Mario Herodotus - the ON1 Photo RAW integration went out in today’s release. Give it a go and let me know what you think!

      That’s great news! I’ll see if I can test it out today! Thank you!

      I tried out the Adobe Bridge integrations - the install was very easy, no problems. When I opened Bridge, I was notified that Macro Studio plugin had been installed and asked if I wanted to activate it, which I did. No issues, everything worked as expected.

      In Adobe Bridge, I selected 175 JPEG images, right-clicked and selected “Stack in Macro Studio”. Again everything went as expected! Macro Studio opened and the images were loaded and stacked.

      I plan to keep using this method. It is easier and I like that I don’t need to remove folders from the Macro Studio Library after the stack is completed.

      Did the new speed improvements apply to raw images only? I felt like this stack of JPEGs went faster than last time, or is that just me?

      Thanks for the update!

    Hi @Mario Herodotus - great feature request! Now that I’ve laid the groundwork for Lightroom, adding others like Adobe Bridge, ON1, and CaptureOne will be pretty straightforward. Watch for this soon, likely in the next few weeks!
