Workflow Scripts in CR 2

New in v2.1.4

Streamline your workflow with helpful scripts that automate repetitive tasks, organize your workspace, and simplify both simple and complex Photoshop techniques.


What are Workflow Scripts?

Workflow Scripts are helpful automation tools built directly into the Configurator Reloaded 2 plugin that make your work easier and more efficient. Whether it's a simple utility task, organizing your workspace, or setting up complex techniques like frequency separation, these scripts eliminate the need to manually perform repetitive steps and remember complicated procedures that are common in professional creative workflows.

More scripts will be added with future updates

Frequency Separation 8-bit

Watch Tutorial from PiXImperfect

This script automatically sets up frequency separation layers for detailed retouching work in 8-bit mode. Frequency separation is a powerful technique that separates texture from color and tone, allowing you to retouch skin imperfections while preserving natural skin texture.

What it creates: High frequency layer (texture) and Low frequency layer (color/tone).

Frequency Separation 8-bit layers in the CR2 plugin

Frequency Separation 16-bit

Similar to the 8-bit version, this script creates frequency separation layers optimized for 16-bit workflows. This version provides better tonal range and color depth, making it ideal for high-end retouching work where maximum image quality is required.

What it creates: High frequency layer (texture) and Low frequency layer (color/tone), optimized for 16-bit color depth with enhanced tonal range.


Mask Scripts

Luminosity Masks

Watch Tutorial from photoshopCAFE

This script generates a comprehensive set of luminosity masks based on the brightness values in your image. These masks allow you to make precise selections and adjustments to specific tonal ranges (highlights, midtones, shadows) without affecting other areas of your image.

What it creates: Multiple luminosity mask channels for highlights, midtones, and shadows.

Note: The masks will be created as channels in the channels panel. Hold Cmd/Ctrl and click on a channel to load it as a selection.

Luminosity Masks

Delete Luminosity Masks

This utility script deletes all luminosity masks created by the Luminosity Masks script from your document's channels panel, helping you clean up your workspace when you're done with luminosity-based adjustments.

What it does: Safely deletes all luminosity mask channels.
