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?

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 do not have the option to 'export layers to files' on my menu. I used the bridge to import files as layers. What 'comps' are but that seems to be my issue.

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?\

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).

I am trying to use the build in photoshop script [Export Files To Layers]
I have 17 layers with two adjustment layers on top (the adjustment layers are changing the Hue/Saturation and the color balance.
When I use the script, I get 19 layers (jpg's of the adjustment layers as well)
and their settings are completely ignored (the pictures look like what they did with out the adjustment layers) I tried both options for Visible and ICC profile- no change.

I have a .PSD with 43 layers that I want to export to separate files. Works just fine using Scripts > Export to Layers...
...except that there are some transparent areas in each of the layers that I want to have a specific background color (the same for all 43 layers). PS keeps making those areas white.
Setting the background color in the toolbar seems to have no effect.

I have a whole bunch of layers (thumbnails with transpanacy in Bg). I'm using this script to get them in their own files.
Worked great except that each thumbnails is behind a large white BG now that has to be cropped out. any tips on how to get this without the white?

The menu options export and export creations are both disabled / greyed out. I'm trying to save multipule layers to files.
FYI: Windows 7 64 bit, no scanner attached, installed optional twain plugin from C:Program Files (x86)AdobePhotoshop Elements 12optional plug-ins... no change.
Do I really need a scanner to export multiple layers to files? Do I really need to save each layer to a file manually?

can you export layers with the layer names to separate jpeg files?
I have a photoshop psd file with many layers that I want to export to separate files with the new name of the files being the same as their layer name. I have the following programs:
Using Photoshop CS4?
Using Photoshop Elements 7?

Any way within AI CS4 to export layers to separate .ai files? Or third party plug-in to do the same? Preferably retaining the layer name as the new file name.
I have a layered .ai file with 40 layers of logo versions that I need to export to separate files and I'd like to avoid the obvious "save as" and delete layers route.

I have image.psd file with base1, base2, base3, base4, base5 layers and
variation1, variation2,, variation80 layers.
I need to export images and save them as
imagebase1variation1.jpg, , imagebase1variation80.jpg
and the same for each base layer + each variation layer. What is the most efficient way to do that in Photoshop CS5? (And I need to repeat this task for the rest of my 200 .psd images!)

Via Actions, the Sphere filter, and a great original earth pic , I've generated a 352 layer file of the earth spinning. Each layer shows the earth from a slightly different angle. WIth lighting effects and all, it's pretty cool.
Now I want to export it to 352 (alpha-channel-enabled) .png files for inclusion ito a Director program. (A simple GIF animation using ImageReady leaves fringing.)I cannot figure out how to create the separate files except via by hand. Any ideas?

Im i trying to save some time and manual work by using an action or script to do most of the work for me, but cant seem to figure out how to do it right. Now its for a jewellery customization site, where you can choose ring, stone, color etc.
I have all images as separate images (on white background) but placed in exact the same position, so they can be placed right on top of each other and exported. Even though its a fairly simple process this would take a long time, as there are many combinations!

I have found the "Export Layers To Files" in File-->Scripts which is pretty slick. I have a PSD file with about 60 layers, so this is handy.
The trick though, is that when they get exported out to a file I want them all to have the same background.
I have a layer that I want to be the background for all the images, right now it's "Layer 1". Is it easy to modify the export all layers script to use Layer 1 on the image copy before saving it? It looks like the script takes each layer, creates a new file, copies the layer (which is transparent) and then saves as a JPG. I just want one extra step in there that will copy the Layer 1 layer for each image too.

I'm working on some graphics for an iPhone app for which I need to export images to png.
The image has an inner and an outer glow to create a glowing LED effect. The problem I have is the outer glow has the 'screen' blending mode applied and when I export this the blending mode defaults to 'Normal'. The image must have a transparent background because it will be used in different locations on top of a brushed aluminium background effect.
I understand that the blending mode takes the background layer into account when determining the output. Any alternative way of creating this glowing LED effect which I can export with a transparent background?
I have attached an example of this, the first 'light' is how I want it to appear when merged. The second 'light' is how it currently looks when merged.

Frame animation plays fine when played from timeline but all layers are exported stacked on top of each other for the duration of the whole animation. I'm able to see that because the layers have transparency.
About animation - 8 frames with in endless loop, imported into a timeline via 'Make Frames from Layers' command in a fly-out menu in the Timeliine window. Tweens for animation are off, 01.sec delay for all frames
I was able to export animated GIF before, wondering if this issue is tied to the latest update.

I've made an animation in photoshop CS 5.1 with three layers that I want to export to Apple's application Motion in order to work on each layer individually. I can easily make a quicktime file, but I can't work on each layer this way. When I import the photoshop file I get the prompt "All Layers," which I choose, but there is no movement when I hit play on the timeline. Only one frame is displayed when there are a number of different frames, and animations.
I'm using an IMac with 8 gigs of ram and 3 external hard drives with a terabyte internal drive.

A simple action.
File>Export>.bmpClose
If I run the action on one file, it works perfect.
If I try to run it as a batch, it creates the bmp files fine.
But it also creates either a .ai file, or two .eps files!
Writing one or two extra files signifiantly shows the process down.
After I run the batch it is not hard to simply delete the extra .eps/ai files of course.
But writing those files seriously slows the process down, and I have about 89,000 more files to go.

Is there a way to export all/some of the layers in a PDN to single images ?
maybe an "export layers" option ?
I think I saw a plugin some where that saves layers. but i'm not sure.
the reason for me asking is that I have started a number of new projects and most of the work is already based on and done under other different PDN projects and I want to take a few layers from each PDN project file..
I tried the long way to check/unchecked layers and flatten the image each
time , but its too much work :-(
there must be a faster way to do it.
If not , can something like this be added to Paint.Net.
we do have under layers "import from file".
can "export to file" be added ?
where i can select the type of Image like jpg/png and it would export the selected layers.

All my googling turns up is to export my layer manager to excel and stuff. This is not what i want to do. I will try to illustrate what i am doing in the easiest manner possible.
I have a .DWG with layers "A" right through to "Z"
I want to export layers A, E, I, O, U and their contents to a new drawing for another use later.

I've looked through some of the other threads but haven't seen a good or easy answer for this one. We export our DWG's to PDF and it keeps all the layers that are on. Is it possible to export the DWG to PDF and have the PDF show layers that were turned off in the PDF? Our drawing are easily changed to include beveled glass or a raised panel, some customers want this while others don't, we currently have to create a seperate DWG for each version of this. We'd like to prodce the DWG to PDF, and in the PDF have the option of turning on the layers.

This may be a customization question, but when I export to dwg in Inventor, everything appears on layer 0. Is there a way to map sketches and features from Inventor to defined layers in dwg?
I am interested in either of these two options, or both:
- From ipt: sketches and features (surfaces, solids etc.) to defined dwg layers
- From iam: parts to defined layers
I am using Inventor 2013.

I am very new to AutoCAD (1 day of playing around).
My company is an independant environmental consultancy company that uses GIS (QGIS/shapefiles/.dxf is compatable) to create maps etc. We are generally sent AutoCAD .dwg or .dxf from out clients for the technical drawings of their projects. I have a few questions:
The files I am sent are not georeferenced, no background map, no connection with the real world, is there a better way to georeference these drawings than the "Set Location" tab (this is a good tool if I could set the location before I begin, but it only has 1 point of reference and when the client sends a road alignment, for example, the single point of reference does not allow me to keep consistent scale/orientation etc?If the client sends a drawing with many layers (bore holes/road/solar panals/site office/power lines) how do I seperate these layers from one another and export them as individual .dxf for use in our GIS and mapping programs?
