Photoshop :: Exporting Layers As Files
Apr 1, 2005
The 'Export layers to files' script is extremely helpful to me. I would like to be able to add a logo to each layer before it is saved which I cannot figure out how to do. The script saves the layer as is so an adjustment layer type solution does not work. I took a look at the javascript and I don't know enough to start calling other .psd's merging and closing them in the middle of the script.
I get what I need to do by loading up the saved jpg's after running the script and running an action on them to add the logo and resave, but this is a bit of a pain when there can be a hundred plus layers.

I took a .psd file (made by my coworker) and redesigned it. The problem is: he organized his layers so badly...made unnecessary clones. The design is a landing page for a website, now I want to send it to my web developer but he's a linux guy.
So on gimp he can't work on my .psd so well because of color formats. He asked me to cut all the images and turn them to .png. Hence I needed to run File> Script > Export Layers to files once that done I got too many similar .png as you can see (consequences of bad layers organization?)
Do I need to delete unwanted/similar images to make my web dev work easier? Last thing I saw that -in the export layers to files panel properties- transparency and trim boxes was checked and I set it to PNG24.

When exporting files to layers is there a way to get rid of the prefix (_0000_ , _0001_ , _0002_ ...etc.) after exporting?? I obtained a script from someone on this site before for PS7 which did not do that.

I'm trying to batch save a series of PNG animation files using the File => Scripts => Export Layers to Files action in Photoshop CS5. Each layer has a transparency and a shadow that have been converted from layer effects and "baked" into the image. I tried the batch save but it turned all of the transparencies solid with white backgrounds. Also the image size was not cropped to the dimensions of the object on each layer.
Lastly, is there a way to edit the numbering for each file? When the images were exported it created a lengthy set of numbers after each file name when all I need is a 00 padding.

I have a PSD file with several layers that I need to convert into separate graphics for a webpage. I wanted to save all the individual layers as png files so I used the "export layers as file" script which took several hours and didnt finish over night. The PSD I'm working with is quite large, over 100 layers, 40MB. I tried to trim down the time by only converting visible layers and removing icc, but it's still taking forever. Is thier a faster way to do this process? I also tried the old copy, create new file and paste but for some reason the copy option is grayed out when I have a layer selected..

I have imported an avi movie into Imageready, and now every frame of the movie is on a single layer.
Now I'd like to know, if there is a way (action?) to export every layer as a single jpg. My goal ist to add filters to every single jpg (with batch processing) and render them into a new movie.

I have created a layout in Illustrator (CS6) and seperated the individual images I require into named layers. My intention is to export as a Photoshop file (keeping all the layers), then using 'Script' in Photoshop to 'Export layers to files..', so I can get automatically save all the elements in the layout as individual transparent png.
When I export the files as Photoshop a warning comings up saying that 'some layer have been merged' and then when I open this file in Photoshop, all but a couple of text layers have been merged into 1 layer. I think it's something to do with the transparencies set in Illustrator but don't know how to resove this.
If it can't be resolve in the method I am using at present, my only other option is to switch off all but 1 layer in Illustrator and export this layer as a png, but as I have many elements to the layout (including on and off states) and this is just one layout page of many, this manual way of export the files will take me forever!
I can stop these layers from merger into one layer when exported to Photoshop, then any way I can automatic export the layers I have set up in Illustrator, as transparent pngs in a simular way I can in Photoshop.

I have now exactly the same problem as below with over 1000 images, I have saved them in .psd that has over 100 layers each. On top of those there is curves and levels layer that affects every layer below. I want to save all images to .jpg for videoedit with those curves at least. I don't want to merge same curves 100 times. Is there a solution in phothoshop cs5 or cs6 available? Would save alot of working hours. All I have got by this far is blank white images of adjustment layers and non adjusted jpg-files.
This discussion was opened in 2010 and I quess this is same problem:
"
How to merge adjustment layers to hundreds of layers?
Jul 28, 2010 10:38 AMSay I have a photoshop File with 100 layers.
And say I created 3 adjustment layers on top of those 100 layers to get the adjustments that i want for those layers. I'm happy with the adjustments but Then I NEED to merge those 3 adjustment layers to ALL those 100 layers.
Is there a way to easily permanently apply the adjustments to each of those layers without having to do it manually? I absolutely need to merge the adjustments to the seperate layers because of how the layers are being used in a seperate 3d program.
So far what I've been doing is duplicating the adjustment layers for each layer and merging them to said layers separately.. I wish I could just right click the adjustment layer and Tell it to merge to everylayer it affects or apply to every layer underneath it!

I have this file with multiple layers of text.
I want to print the file with these layers selected individually, so that if I have two text layers "Cow" and "Dog", I get two similar images with different text.
How would i automate this? It would take a lot of work to select each layer and save the files individually.

The issue is that I have 3 machines I have designed with more that 80 parts each that I wanted to pull into Photoshop (they will be part of a web site) with layers so that I can texture them further. Is there a way (script or built in) that will put each object onto its own layer? Creating layers and drag/drop is going to kill my project time.
I found one plugin that is meant to do it but errors out in CorelDraw X6 x64. Scatter to layers, was the name I think. I'm sadly completely useless at any thing code related so I can't even edit the one I found to fix the errors.
This isn't an error but just a cross compatibility issue. Corel should look at adding the "treat objects/groups as layers" in the PSD export dialogue.

I have scoured the net for any Script-Fu or Batch to do this, and only find old code that is no longer good for gimp 2.6. For some absolutely insane reason (as far as I am concerned), gimp has failed time and time again (since their inception) to actually make it available to export multiple images at the same time. I literally have 300 layers, and for me to crop them all and save them as images would take an entire day.
Why hasn't this been made available? Is there any code or anything I can use to accomplish this task in Gimp 2.6? Photoshop allows it, and has since its inception! Why not Gimp? Is it that difficult to create? Are there really no plugins to do this?

I was hoping this feature would be added in X6, and in retrospect I should have asked about this before they released X6 :S
When exporting to PDF in Corel it would be great if there could be an option to get rid of the layers. The problems with layers in PDF it uses a lot more resources and when I combine 20+ PDFs together it barely opens on slower computers. Also, my clients can see what my layer names are in the PDF and I would prefer if they couldn't.

I've wrritten a plug-in to export the layer as jpeg.everything is fine except that the current document becomes unsaved after exporting the layer.
I want to know that it use to be so or I'm wrong anywhere?
the process which I followed ---
1-) Created an empty Artset and filled it with layer contents.
2-) Then Rasterize the Artset.
3-) Then created a data filter containing the path where to export.
4) Then used AsJPEG( ) to create jpeg.

ai::int32 aint;
sAILayer->CountLayers(&aint);
for (int i = 0; i < (int) aint; i++){
sAILayer->GetNthLayer((ai::int32) i,&layer);
artSetSuite->LayerArtSet(layer, artSet);
}
AIArtHandle hand;
sAIArt->GetFirstArtOfLayer(layer, &hand);
e2 = sAIRasterize->Rasterize(artSet, &rs, &bounds, kPlaceAboveAll, hand, &art, MyRasterizeProgressProc);
sAILayer->GetFirstLayer(&layer);
e2 = sAIArt->GetLayerOfArt(art, &layer);
e2 = sAIArt->GetFirstArtOfLayer(layer, &art);
error = sAIImageOptSuite->MakePNG24(art, dstfilter, pngParams2, MyRasterizeProgressProc);
the code above shows how I managed to export a artboard with all layers to PNG-File. My question is, if there is a faster way to combine all layer before exporting, maybe a way without the "temporary layer" (Rasterize(...)-method)?
When I export with the standard-export-button in Adobe Illustrator, it runs fast and with all layers.

Does the exported dwg file always have to be a zip file? I have tried save as a dwg file but it seems to be an Invnetor dwg which has the geometry as a block when opened with AutoCAD. It is a little easier to explode the block in AutoCAD rather than open and extract the zip file, save the extracted dwg then delete the zip file.

I used to export layers by deleteing the ones I didn't want, then exporting as an illustrator file, then undoing all the layer deletions.
Recently I had to switch up so that I call another plugin which inserts information into the file I'm working on. Then that plugin sends control back to the original to do all the ai file exporting I mentioned above.
Somehow after I get controll back I cannot undo the layer deletions. Does it have something to do with the "nested plugins" notes in the contexts sections of the undo documentation.
I have to confess I don't fully understand these "contexts". Also if there's another way to export a layer of a file other than deleting all the other ones.

I am trying to Export Layer comps to file to make a pdf of a 38 page document. When try to export to jpg or png the files are too small, even on the highest setting.
When I try to export to tiff or psd, it doesn't flatten the files and gives me files just as large as the master file.
When I try to export to pdf it creates very large files, that do not seem high quality.
Are there any more options or perhaps an additional script for exporting layer comps to files?

I have just upgraded from Elements 9 to 11. I had no issues exporting from iphoto to 9, worked a treat. I have configured everything exactly the same, checked and double checked all the preferences and it will not work automatically. I can manually export to my desk to and it works fine, the raw file shows up in the bridging application and I can do whatever I need to. However, this is a bit long winded and as it worked so well before it is a little frustrating..

I've got a short animation that I'd like to export, mainly because it's faster to use the tween function than manually adjusting my picture and saving every frame manually. Anyway, it doesn't look like Photoshop allows you to save animations in the Targa format and keep the alpha layer that I need in each individual frame. How I might go about either exporting the animation and keeping the alpha layer, or finding some way to work around this without having to manually copy the alpha layer to each individual frame by hand after I export it?

I created 3D text in Photoshop CS6 and exported the mesh as an obj. I was able to import the obj file directly into 3DS Max 2013, but could not import it into Maya 2013 and 2014, because both versions cited incorrect data. Is this a bug or user error? Obvious workaround is to use Max to re-export, but would prefer to have it work directly in Maya.

This problem only occurs with files that I have been imported from cd's/dvd's into the libraryand I get the msg "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file for editing. It will not be opened." Files that are stored on my hard drive have NO PROBLEM in being edited. .
I am new to Lightroom and currently using it on the 30 day trial I have been using PSE for a long time and have over 90,000 images in Organizer and all of my images are on cd's/dvd's, very few are stored on the hard drive.

Just a quick question, I'm wondering if there is a fix in 3ds max (64) 2011 regarding exporting .mov files. We are in the FIRST Robotics competition and the Autodesk 3D Animation Contest requires the final movie to be in .mov format.
I can always export individual frames and composite the work in Premiere, perhaps a better process in the end; regardless I would love to hear of how the problem will be solved with Apple (just a guess) down the road

Video studio has an export option "save as first video clip" for mpeg files. Don't see that for wmv files. Is there a way to save an edited wmv file using the original files properties without doing a custom setup? Windows Movie Maker seems to do this but it's a pain to use.

I need to export on a regular basis parts of a X6 file to eps. The files are huge an can contain all sorts of filter. They are all powerclips, some with shadows and transparency and symbols containing JPG's.
When i export the first part of it most at the time it works well, exporting the second set I am ending up with only half the data. If I copy and past into a new document and try from there I might get lucky or some other parts are missing, if I reduce the size by 50 percent same thing.

I can open up older EPS files from my documents fine, but not able to do that now.
