I want to save each image layer from a PSD separately, and if the image has an effect OR its opacity is < 100%, it needs to be converted to an SmartObject layer and then rasterized (so it becomes a "LayerKind.NORMAL" layer with its effect, rasterized). I can do it in two clicks, but when I try to do it by scripting, I get an alert saying something like "ArtLayers can't be converted to SmartObjects". I think that makes no sense, because you can do it by right-clicking a layer a selecting "Create smartObject", but whatever... Is there a workaround for this?
