 Posted: Tue May 30, 2006 8:35 pm Post subject: Export Layers To File (With Same Background) |
 |
|
Thanks in advance for any help, search did not turn up any results for this.
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.
Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance for any help. I suspect I could rip off the export script and modify it but can't seem to locate it on my HD either. Probably missing something more obvious like locking a layer somehow too.... |

well, I haven't had any luck, but do have another idea if someone can help a newbie.
I'd like to 'create a macro'. Basically when I have the two layers I want as the graphic visible - save as a JPG with 80 quality, and auto-increment the file name if possible.
I'd love to script this somehow, but just being able to run a macro for each export would save me hours. Thanks in advance! |

I guess you don't know about ACTIONS in photoshop. Actions are like macros. LEARN how to use and make your own ACTIONS. I think it is what you are wanting.
