Photoshop :: Batch Saving Layers As Individual JPEGs?
Jan 4, 2012
I have assembled a wholel lot of scanned pages from my sketch pad into one psd file. That file has guides which I use to register and align every page (each page is therefore its own layer). Is there a way I can make an action and save off each individual layer as its own jpeg? I set up an action but I don't know how to get photoshop to save it with a distinct namespace. The first action I set up basically prompted me to re-name each layer as I saved it, which isn't really saving time. What I want is for the action to start at the bottom layer and turn off the visiblity of all the layers above it, save the visible layer as a jpeg with a name based on the layer and then turn on the next layer's visibitlity and repeat, until all layers have been saved.
I have been saving bulk images from Bridge using Batch process. What I would like to do is when the image is automatically saved as a JPEG. I want them to be saved as a (6) medium. However, they all seem to be saved as a (12) large. I then open each one and re-save.
I have over 500 layers of different texts over a simple background image. I need to move through each one of these layers, making only one and the background visible, then doing the same for the next, and saving each out as a separate .jpeg. I know how to batch process the jpegs giving each a different filename, but how do I move through the layers?
I recently made some frames for an animate gif with PDN, and all the frames are in layers on one PDN file. Is there any way to mass save the layers as separate gifs? The PDN file consists of 100+ layers, and I want to avoid flattening, saving, and undoing X 100 :shock:
Ok, i've setup an action to compress an image as a jpeg at 60% or whatever. I'm using this action in a batch of random images I've downloaded from misc sites.
Is there anyway I can have photoshop only compress the image to 60% only if the filesize will be smaller than the original? If this isn't possible with photoshop, are they any alternative apps that do what I'm looking for?
I have a TON of JPEG pics that are currently in Progressive format but I am using them with an app that requires that they be non-progressive. So I am looking to convert them to a Baseline format. In Photoshop, this conversion is done through the Save As dialog. However, I dont know of a way to create an action to do this without saving the file name in it. I want to keep all the pics the same file name that they are currently (..there are a ton of them already indexed in an XML feed so..).
I want to batch convert some .psd images into jpegs in pse 10 or 11. I know you can batch convert for image resizing,but don"t see the ability to convert images from one format into another.
I want to batch convert the above. I know i can convert one image at a time. If not can one recommend a batch conversion program which is safe to use and free from viri and malware.
Is it possible to batch process .jpegs one stop lighter in Photoshop 10? My picture are of football, but all seem a 1/2 to 1 stop darker than I wanted.
Whenever I open a jpeg from my dig camera and I work on it on PS CS2, at saving time, it always goes right to Save AS. I just simply want to overwrite the previous picture without going into the quality dialog box. I want to keep the original size, but just want to save the changes.
I want to create a PDF from Photoshop while keeping on a master layer/group for all pages AND turning on/off individual layers/smart object in another group? I know there may be a way to do this with Layer Comps but I would rather just use layers.
I'm trying to save 8bit tiff files (2400x1374pixel 300dpi) with no layers, paths etc as a jpeg in CS5 but even with the jpeg quality slider set to 0 it is still giving me a file size over 400kb.
The tiff files were coverted to 72dpi @ 900pixel wide. I can't figure out why it is still giving me a jpeg over 400kb in filesize. It should be well under 100kb. I normally like to set the jpeg slider around 8 to
still have a sharp image but even at 0 it's still giving me a large file.

I've been using the batch file - export layers to file script for some time. Right now I'm trying to figure out an easy way to have a locked background and do the same thing, but keep the background the same.
Background - Layer 1 - Save Background - Layer 2 - Save etc.
Is there a way to do this? I have around 300 images that need the exact same background.
I need to know how to save an individual color channel. I am able to split the channels, but they are in gray and not color. How would I save them in color? My PS is CS5.
I recently had to have a new hard drive and motherboard installed on my PC, which is running Win 7. I didn't have any problems at all with Elements prior to this.
I haven't opened PSE 12 for a few days.
My normal workflow is:
Open RAW file, edit, then separately save PSD and JPG in Irfanview (maybe an odd choice but it's familiar and easy to use).
Just recently I've noticed a problem in Irfanview when entering and saving IPTC data, in that suddenly I'm told the file isn't found, when I try to open it the image area is black, and all I can do is delete it. This is possibly unrelated to my PSE 12 problem, however each time the only way to get a usable copy of the JPG is to re-open the PSD in Elements and re-save as a JPG.
Today, in Elements, when I go to Save As (my usual choice) I go through the usual process but when I check on my hard drive the JPG hasn't been saved.
I accidently forgot to open a new catalogue before editing my RAW files. Lightroom 3.6 allowed me to edit all my pictures but now I can't export any of them to save as JPEGs. Is there any way for me to export these pictures or do I have to start over from square one?
New to Premier Elements 10. Is there a way to save individual video clips after chopping up my raw video. Or should I be using another program? I simply want to convert a long video into shorter segments for my files and ease of future use.
I wanted to ask about whether it is possible to separate all the pieces of paintings in this document to their individual layers?
I want to make a website and use each of these as graphic so separate documents would be fine too.
These are 100 "boxes" btw, so i cant simply select and Layer via cut all the time
if Im not clear...basically, all the boxes in this image are in 1 single layer, i need to make separate jpgs/pngs for every box, would be great if someone could guide me through...i have removed the background btw.
I use XPE regularly to edit photos and save them in JPEG format to My Picture folders. However, since yesterday the files that get saved after editing, are no longer JPEGs but some unsupported file which cannot be opened. (See screen shot of properties.) I have tried everything I can think of to fix this, but the results are always the same.
If I edit the photographs with Picasa, there is no problem with the edited output to a folder.
If I save the XPE edited files to the Desktop instead of a folder, they are also alright. I am using Windows 7 Home.
I tried to set up a save as action and simply turn on and off the layers im saving and press play. Should be simple BUT it keeps overwriting the original saved file
I have "Sweet On You" spelled out in 3D with each letter having its own layer. Can I render the individual 3D layers together or do I have to do them separately? What should the letters look like after they're rendered? When I render them individually, the previously rendered letter turns white.
I'm having issues moving individual layers once they've been put into a group in CS5. It just moves everything in the group! Very inconvenient. This hasn't happened to me before or in CS6. How to correct this?
how to make an action that can export individual layers within a PS document and rename each layers in the process.
I have set up a 320 x 180px canvas and have 'Placed' in about 20 images that all need to be exported with the Save for Web option.
Problem is, when I set the action to Save for Web and choose the destination, Photoshop names my newly exported image as the document's title (for example, 320x180_Canvas.jpg). But as soon as I try to make it move on to the next layer, it will automatically replace the first exported image with the new one, renaming it the same way, and so on and so on for the next 2 layers...
So essentially, I can only export one layer at a time - unless I make an action to Save for Web for individual documents and not layers (so instead of having one document with 20 layers, I have 20 documents with one layer)...
I need to create an animation sequence in Photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds. In previous versions the length of each video layer could be extended easily. Now it appears you need to make each video layer a maximum of 5 seconds. Document settings doesn't resolve this problem. I've found out how to extend the timeline but, crucially, not the length of individual video layers beyond 5 seconds. I believe CS5 and previous versions had this enabled.
For theoretical purposes, let's say that I am building an animation and that I have 10 layers in this animation thus far. Now, let's say that I would like a watermark to be overlay on every single one of these individual layers.
The only way that I would know how to do this would be to make a layer with the watermark, duplicate it nine times so that there were a total of ten layers with the watermark and then painstakingly go about the process of merging one layer of the animation with with one layer of the watermark and then repeat this process nine more times.
Whenever this situation comes up, whether it is a watermark or a correction of some sort that belongs on ALL LAYERS and I do this the only way that I know how, I think to myself that with something as powerful as CS 5, there has GOT to be an more automated and easier way of going about this.
