In the P.S., I said:

“I ran the action again this morning, and could select two layers,”
But I mean:
“I ran the action again this morning, and could NOT select two layers,”

Let me clarify. I try to select two layers to reveal the alignment between the two. That works fine. But when I try to select one of the layer to move it to align it, only that one layer I select shows in b&w, and so I have no point of reference to align by. But the solution is as stated above.

Thanks,

I had the hardest time trying to figure this out, and getting the action correctly (by myself, before coming upon this page). I had done it before, and actually accomplished it (somewhat). But I had the problem of, “Could not use the move tool because the target does not include all the composite channels.” The image came out fine, but I just could not move the individual channel layers. I came across your tutorial, and now it works! Woot! Thanks for the tutorial. Oh, by the way, the action you provide isn’t available.

Thanks,

P.S. I ran the action again this morning, and could select two layers, then just select the one, to align the images. Through research, I came upon the answer. “Normally”(?), each channel “eye” is revealed when you click on the specific channel. I wanted to reveal two layers, and could do that if I hold the shift key. The problem is, when I select the one layer to try to align it against the second layer, the second layer diappears. The solution was to click on the actual “eye” to reveal it, not just the area where the name of the channel layer is. Sorry for the long post. It’s meant to help others who may come across this same problem as I did. Take care.
