Batch Job is Incorrectly Exporting as a 32-bit Image With Transparency Instead of 24-bit

[- S -]

If a macro is recorded to resize the document canvas and then turn off transparency, when the image is exported by going to [File > Export] the image is correctly exported as a 24-bit image without transparency.

If the same macro is used with [File > New Batch Job], the image is incorrectly exported as a 32-bit image with transparency.

To reproduce:
- Go to [File > New Batch Job]
- Add the test image (attached below) as a source
- Unselect 'Save as AFPhoto'
- Select 'Save as TIFF'
- Select the test macro (attached below) and click the 'Apply' button to add it to the applied macros
- Click OK
- The image is exported as a 32-bit image with transparency, despite the macro being set to turn transparency off

It's possible to go into the TIFF settings in the 'New Batch Job' dialogue every time and change the Matte setting to pure white; however this setting should work the same way as the normal file export dialogue setting does, where if it's set to a white background with a red line through it, then it uses the settings that are set in the document itself – in this case, what's set by the macro.

Macro steps:

1) Start recording macro

2) [Document > Resize Canvas]
Click padlock to unconstrain
Enter 3508 px X 2480 px
Click centre anchor point
Click resize button

3) [Document > Transparent Background]
Untick

4) Stop recording macro

5) Save macro to library
