Photoshop :: Files Into Layers

Feb 18, 2006

In CS2 it's simple to export layers as separate files (File > Scrips > Layer Comps to Files) But is there any way to Automate the inverse operation, loading individual files into a single multilayered file. I'm doing extended depth of focus using large image stacks, and loading them manually into a multilayed file is starting to get tedious.

I tried using an action, but only managed to move a single layer from file to file right on through the stack.

Photoshop :: How To Merge Adjustment Layers To Several Layers And Export To Files

May 31, 2012

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!

Photoshop :: Exporting Layers To PNG Files

Nov 16, 2012

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.

Photoshop :: Export PSD Layers To Files?

Jun 2, 2012

I've been chasing this Layer Export Nirvana for a couple of years now but I've got nowhere.In ImageReady 2 I could import a PSD file and export layers with exactly the name I used for each layer (with no annotations, prefixes or suffixes), with the entire file size (not cropped to the edge of the image) in a PSD format.The script in Photoshop adds extenions to the file name that I can't see how to turn off.
 
I've tried a couple of free (SciptsRus) and commercial (Ferry) scripts but they don't seem to work with my version of Photoshop (Mac CS5 OS X 10.7.4). Is this a result of the recent Javascript updates with Mac OS X 10.7? I'll contact the authors of these scripts next and see what they say.
 
I tried a PC program called Super Layer which exports to PNG files and almost was what I wanted except it cropped the file size to the size of the image. I could get away with this I suppose if I copied a 1% single pixel into each corner of the file but that would be time consuming for all the layers I need to export (500-600) and means I'd have to rasterise the type layers which is also double handling.
 
I've even tried Graphic Converter on a Mac but can't get that to quite work. I end up with solid white backgrounds and no transparency.All I want is to open a PSD file (preferably on Mac OS) and export each layer at the same size on a transparent background with just the name of the layer as the file name as a PSD file. I'll alos accept .PNG format as well as long as I get transparency and full file size. Just like we could do with brilliant effeiciency with ImageReady CS2. I've actually kept an old version of ImageRady on my PC for just this purpose but surely in the 21st Century there is a way around this?\

Photoshop :: Copying Layers Between Files

Sep 29, 2007

In PS CS3, is there a simple way to copy the contents of a partially transparent layer from one image and paste them into another image of the same size without PS trying to center the pasted content? If so, how is this accomplished?

Here's the situation. I am trying to make a bunch of blending mode reference images. They consist of a base color layer, a blend color layer, and several different layers for labels. The base and the blend color layers have off center squares of gradiated colors, so you can see how the blend changes based on changes to the base and blend colors.

I've finished grayscale versions for each layer blending mode, now I'm working on a color version. I have created one (Luminosity), and now I want to past the blend color and base color layers from the color Luminosity image into all the grayscale images so that I can reuse the labels in grayscale images.

When I drag the layers from the layer palette of one document to the document window of another document, it places the color squares in the location based upon where I drop them. If I copy from one document to the other, it centers the color squares (they need to be off-center to work with the pre-existing labels). I've not tried replacing the transparency in the blend and base color layers, because... well.. because I shouldn't have to. Dagnabit. But, I suspect that would work.

I'm running Photoshop CS3 Extended v10.0 on Mac OS X v10.4.10 w/2GB RAM.

Photoshop :: Exporting Layers To Files In CS2

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.

Photoshop :: CS5 Extended Won't Convert MP4 Files To Layers

Jun 15, 2012

I recently downloaded cs5 and it won't download .mp4 files to layers. whenever i go to file > import > video frames to layers, the mp4 files are greyed out and i can only click on .avi files.
 
there is no high quality converter from mp4 to avi, so it's quite frustrating.

Photoshop :: Export Manipulated Layers To Files

Aug 17, 2013

I'm  working with CS5. I'm trying to export layers of a single PSD file to individual jpeg files, but I want to keep the manipulations I've made on each layer and multiple layers on the exported files themselves instead of each manipulation being exported as its own file. For example if i change the brightness of all my layers and then go to scripts and "export layers to files" the layers do not keep the change in brightness. Instead it keeps the original brightness level and a JPEG file gets created just for the brightness itself (it looks like a blank sheet).

Photoshop :: Unable To Save TGA And GIF Files With Layers

Apr 9, 2012

I'm using Photoshop CS5 for Mac, and when I try to save files as TGA or GIF, the Layers option is not available and the result is a flattened, single layer.
 
• Files I am working with are 8bit RGB. 
• Photoshop is set to 32bit, not 64bit. 
• There are no extra channels other than RGB. 
• Switching files to indexed color doesn't work because it asks to merge all layers. 
• I can open Gif files containing layers, but I can't then Save or Save As with layers.
 
Below is the save dialog box as it appears when i try to save a Gif or TGA.

Setting the background color in the toolbar seems to have no effect.

Photoshop :: Scripts -> Export Layers To Files (CS3)

Feb 10, 2009

I'm having an issue with the script "Export Layers to Files."

When running this script, it does something I wasn't expecting...

When it saves each layer to a file, instead of using the size of the layer selection, it saves the layer in the workspace size.

Example: Try to export a 998x60 footer image... it takes the layer and saves it in a workspace size of 1010x1410. So now I've got my footer image inside of a giant white box.

Basically, I was hoping to use this as a mass-export for web design images... but it's not working the way I had hoped. =

Anyone have any solutions?

Photoshop :: Open Multiple Files As Layers

Mar 23, 2002

My engineering department produces .ps files that need to be merged into a single Photoshop file as individual layers. Here's what I'd like to do:

1) Drag a set of .ps files onto a droplet

2) For every .ps file, open with same parameters (e.g. 300 DPI, RGB)

3) Adjust Hue/Sat and set Lightness to +50

4) Colorize each layer and adjust saturation to 100%

5) Make each opened file an individual layer in NewFile.psd

6) Close/delete any intermediate files (but not the original .ps's) and leave NewFile.psd open for further editing

My current droplet will do 1-4, but now I'm stuck! How do I take all the open files and make them into layers in a new .psd?

If I can't do this directly, I can save the results of each .ps conversion into a separate .psd, but then I'll need a droplet to convert

each .psd into a layer in NewFile.psd. I can't figure how to do that, because the Override Open/Save setting seems to mess things up.

Photoshop :: Saving Layers As Separate Image Files?

Jun 24, 2013

I am trying to save all the layers I have in my PSD file as separate layers in a folder that I created.  I trying to do this by going to File- Scripts- Export Layers to Files but when I set it up and do this I get an error message saying:
 
"General Photoshop error occured.  This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. -The command "Duplicate" is not currently available."
 
I am not sure why this is saying "this version" considering I installed  it not too long ago and the document has been made a few days ago meaning I never even used another version of photoshop.  I have all the layers visible too and even selected them.  I am using Photoshop CS6 by the way.

Photoshop :: Load Files Into Layers Fails To Complete CS6?

Jul 27, 2012

When in Bridge, after selecting 6 images (CR2) using the command TOOLS>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS the first file will load into Photoshop, Photoshop will then generate a second blank layer and then read the second file. At this point the "script" will stop. I am left with a document with 2 layers. The top layer has my first image, the bottom layer is empty.
  
At this point when I quit Photoshop I am prompted to save this open document which appears to be the only open document. I choose not to save this as a file. I then get a dialogue box prompting to save another open document. Photoshop has loaded the second file to place as a layer but as the "script" has aborted I am left with an open, but invisible file. 
 
When I first loaded CS6 on Snow Leopard, it would demonstrate this behaviour every time I attempted to run this command from Bridge.I did a clean install on a blank HDD of OSX Lion. Installed CS6. The command worked without fail for about a month.
 
Then I would get the command aborting occasionally. Restarting Photoshop would let me continue for a few hours before this aborted script problem would happen again. Over the last week it has become more frequent, to a point where this workflow is unusable.
 
A restart of Photoshop may fix the problem for the next batch of images, only to fail again soon after, or fail on the first attempt after a relaunch of Photoshop. A reboot of my computer will allow my to load one or two sets of files before again failing to complete the command.
 
 I have tried the following:
  
In Photoshop preferences:

disabling the "Use graphics Processor"

Increasing or decreasing the amount of RAM available to Photoshop

Changing the cache levels or changing the cache tile size

changing the scratch disk

Trashing the Photoshop preferences file (Photoshop Settings.psp)
  
In Bridge
 
 Purging the cache

Increasing or decreasing the cache size

Resetting Bridge preferences (holding Command on launch) and deleting all cache files.
  
In general system
 
Quitting extra programs (Safari, Thunderbird, iTunes)

Sometimes this will seem to then allow Photoshop to load a full set of images, only to abort again after a few sets.

Rebooting the computer - again will work for a few images sets before again failing.
 
 Now the fact that it worked fine for several weeks without presenting a problem would indicate that it is not a bug.The fact that is slowly started happening then became more frequent would indicate something changing slowly over time - a larger cache folder perhaps, although purging known Bridge cache folders has not filed the problem.

System is as follows:
  
Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad Core
24GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4870 512
OSX Lion 10.7.4

Photoshop :: Import Video Frames To Layers Set As Quicktime Files (PS5)?

Oct 29, 2012

For some reason, suddenly when I import video frames to layers, it is now set as Quicktime files that can only be opened (AVI,MPEG etc) and won't pick up MMV files at all. I used to make a lot of gifs fine with WMV files (thats the only format Photoshop PS5 would let me open for years), now it is set up as Quicktime files all of a sudden. It only opens AVI files as well, other video formats pop up with blank screens and then go transparent. Is there any way I can fix this? I'd like to be able to make gifs with WMV files again.
 
Is there some way you can open MP4 files onto Photoshop CS5 as well? Converting Youtube vids to WMV is quite a process.

Photoshop :: Files Do Not Show Any Of Layers Only Blank White Canvas

It doesn't matter what file I open, none of my layers show up any more. All I get is a white background. And if I hide every single layer you would think I'd see the checkboard background. Nope! Not even that appears. My colleague tried opening up my files on his copy of CS6 and the files work fine. I've checked and my version of Photoshop CC is up-to-date.
