You do not drag them in input you either name them correctly and they will be added automatically on next import or you have to add manually by right clicking on photo and add mask. Unfortunately there is no option to rescan directory and add masks newly created masks.

I was wondering if you've been able to add mask TIFF files made in Paint to your ContextCapture. For some reason, they when I drag them into the "photo input" area, I can't see that they've been added. Do you know if there is a place or some way that I can check if my mask worked?

Created this Photoshop script to help export BW TIFF mask file. Still this seems an excess usage of PS just for such simple task.

#target photoshop
app.bringToFront();

//Convert to monochrome
var cnvtOpts = new IndexedConversionOptions();
cnvtOpts.colors=2;
cnvtOpts.transparency=false;
cnvtOpts.forced=ForcedColors.BLACKWHITE;
cnvtOpts.dither=Dither.NONE;


activeDocument.changeMode(ChangeMode.INDEXEDCOLOR, cnvtOpts);

//Save Options for TIFF
TiffSaveOptions=new TiffSaveOptions()
TiffSaveOptions.imageCompression=TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;
TiffSaveOptions.alphaChannels=false;
TiffSaveOptions.transparency=false

//Folder((fnp=(aD=activeDocument).fullName.parent+'/Mask/')).create()
fnp=(aD=activeDocument).fullName.parent+'/';
aD.saveAs(File(fnp+aD.name.substr(0,aD.name.length-4)+"_mask"),TiffSaveOptions)
aD.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)
