HI [USER=142007]@DingusDude[/USER]


You may already have a solution with the scripts above yet there may be a simpler modification to make the complete JPEG clipping path added to the PSD file.  I am assuming that the JPEG and PSD have the exact some pixel dimensions.  Here are the steps


1) Load JPEG into a new document

2) Place embedded the PSD file (it will come in as a Smart Object)

3) With the embedded Smart Object use the Convert to Layers

4) Delete the first Layer that is the JPEG


With the above steps you will have the PSD file and the path from the JPEG will be there in the Path panel


Now there are a couple limitations with this approach I believe

1) If you needed a background Layer the above steps will not leave a background Layer.  If that is needed you would have to take the extra step of jumping to the bottom Layer and converting it to a background Layer

2) When you use the Convert to Layers on the Smart Object that contains the PSD, it will preserve the Layers, Layer Masks and Vector Masks yet stand alone paths in the Path panel that were in the PSD file may not be preserved.


So with those limitations, you would need to batch the process (with simple script) and possibly do the rest in an Action.


Just another direction to consider
