PSE4: save layers to separate files?

Is it possible to save layers to separate files on Photoshop Elements 4? I want to create an animation, but I want each slide to have a different time. When I Save for Web and select Animation, all layers have the same timing.

No, the only way to do this with PSE is to duplicate layers so that the same one appears longer. So for instance, let's say you have three real frames and you want the first and last ones to appear for 2 seconds and the middle one for four: make a four framed image by duping the middle frame so it's in view for twice as long.
For anything more elaborate than that, you need a different program, I'm afraid.

  • How to save "sites" in separate files?

    I am working with three different sites (work, personal, etc.) and would like to save them as separate files, not as part of a single domain package. Is this possible without having to create separate user identities?
    Also, having saved two sites in iWeb, they are put in the domain.sites packages. Looking into the package I can’t distinguish which files belong to which sites. Any ideas,
    Cheers,
    Reb

    You could try this: create a site. Move the domain.site file to a folder named for the site. Start iWeb and create another site. Repeat. When you want to work on a specific site move its domain.site file into the iWeb application support file.
    Yep, a total pain in the neck. However it is either that or use a different user account for each site. My own experimentation has determined that as the total domain.site folder grows the save time grows tremendously.
    It's likely that before long someone will write a little utility to do this automatically.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Script to Save Layers as Individual Files?

    I am BEYOND frustrated right now. I do not understand why this feature is not built into this program. I am not, nor will I ever be, rich enough to afford any of the Photoshop CS programs and it seems absurd to spend 800+ dollars just for this feature.
    I have spent the last FOUR hours painstakingly creating a 200-frame animation. All I want. Is to turn it into a gif. That's all I want. NO program will import the psd. I downloaded the free trial of Flash CC but, not only is it over complicated, it lags SO BADLY it takes one minute just to perform the import action. After that, it only imports one image from the PSD anyway and won't animate. I found a post here a little bit ago where somebody posted a script that will make PSE11 do what I want it to. They did not however post it in plain text, they posted it in a link. All that link did was redirect me to the main Adobe web page. I am sick. And tired. Of hunting for a solution. I cannot find this script through google no matter what I try. So I am asking here. PLEASE TELL ME I did not waste the last four hours of my life creating a useless animation.

    Not $800+, only $12. The affordable Elements+ has lots of useful scripts, including Exporting Layers to Files.

  • Script to save layers as individual files

    Hi there guys,
    I just got a new job and they require me to save several elements of a PSD file into individual files with their proper name. I'm trying to get a script which would help me with this and also help me be more productive with some other work instead of spending all day doing this. Can someone help me out here with a script that would save each layer as its own file with the layer's name? Does this make sense? Your help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

  • How do I save clips as separate files?

    I'm new to Premiere Elements but I'm sure that this is a very common situation.  I have a bunch of video tapes that I have imported.  I set up one project per tape.  Each tape has several unrelated sequences for instance Christmas, a basketball game, a couple of birthdays and a vacation.  I want to break these into totally separate clips, tag each clip with the pertinant information and use those clips to build movies or albums, for instance all of my kids birthday parties, highlights from all of the basketball games, etc.  I've cut the first tape into clips but don't know where to go from here. I would really appreciate advice or pointing me to a good turtorial on this subject.  Thanks jimadavis1

  • How can I save multiple emails as separate files with 1 export?

    I need to save hundreds of emails as separate files.  If I select all of the emails, then export as PDF, it doesn't save with their Subject titles, just numbers.  If I try prints, save as pdf, it consolidates them all into 1 file.  If I try to save as txt files, it only saves the first message.  If I try dragging and dropping the emails into a folder, it won't let me (only one at a time).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe there is a third party app that saves email(s) as pdf's:

  • Can't save layered .psd files in Photoshop CS3

    Hello,
    I noticed yesterday that I can no longer save layered .psd files to any folder. What does get saved is only a generic file symbol.
    I'm using a Dell 8200 computer, 1GB of RAM, IntelPentium4 processer, Windows XP Professional,and a Canon MP780 multiple function printer.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    George Masi

    Is it saved incorrectly, or is the problem just that the icon is the generic one. In other words, can you A) click to open the file from the desktop. And, b) if you can't click from the desktop, can you open the file from within Photoshop, and see the layers correctly.
    If B works, and A does not, then this means your Windows has lost the association between PSD files and Photoshop. You can often correct this by right clicking the file, and choosing Open With, with the Always open with this program field checked. There is also a way to set the icons back up, but this is more complicated.

  • Save each page of a multi-page document as a separate file using spawned file names with javascript

    Hello
    We are currently changing our hard-copy personnel files and converting them to pdf files.  We have scanned the entire file into one multi-page document.
    I am wanting to save each page (or groups of pages) as separate files.
    In order to facilitate this, I have duplicated field names--such as FirstName, LastName, EmpNo on each page.  This information should be static for the entire file.
    However--I also need information that will change for each individual "page" or document--such as TypeOfDoc, Date, etc.  I have used the Spawn fields using the overlay method on each of the pages in the document.  Then I went in and filled in the information for each page of the document--such as TypeOfDoc, DateOfDoc.
    Now I want to save each page of the document as a separate file using the field names as the file name.
    I first created an action that would split all the pages into separate files and save them into a folder.
    Then I want to save each file as a specific file name based on the information in the fields.
    My problem is obtaining the name of the spawned field name.  The rest of the field names I am not having a problem with.
    This is what I have so far to name the file.
    // Get the field value
    var oPage = this.pageNum;
    var fn = getField("P" + oPage + ".TEMPLATE.DateOfDoc").valueAsString + getField("FirstName").valueAsString + "-" + getField("LastName").valueAsString;
    // Specify the folder
    var fldr = "/n/Personnel/ScannedDocuments/NAMEDPAAS/";
    // Determine the full path
    var fp = fldr + fn +".pdf";
    // Save the file
    myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
    This code is also accompanied with folder level scripts.
    My problem is obtaining the name of the spawned fields using javascript.  Each document has several pages--so I would like to obtain the field name through script.
    I receive the following error.
    TypeError: getField("P" + oPage + ".TEMPLATE.DATE") is null
    I think this is due to the fact that I have extracted all the pages as individual files.
    If I were to do the above, but not extract the pages first--I do not know how to just save one page at a time.
    Please help.  This is a massive project, and if we have to save each file individually, it will take a lot of time.
    I am a beginner, so any assistance is appreciated.
    Thank you

    I am not understanding exactly where to put the curly brackets.  I have tried two different ways, and still get the same error.
    This is one way
    var oPage = this.pageNum;
    // Specify the folder
    var fldr = "/n/Personnel/ScannedDocuments/NAMEDPAAS/";
    // Determine the full path
    var fp = fldr + fn +".pdf";
    for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) 
    var fn = getField("P" + oPage + ".template.DateOfDoc").valueAsString + getField("FirstName").valueAsString + "-" + getField("LastName").valueAsString;
    {this.extractPages({  
    nStart: i,  
    cPath : fldr + fn + ".pdf"
    The other is this
    var oPage = this.pageNum;
    // Specify the folder
    var fldr = "/n/Personnel/ScannedDocuments/NAMEDPAAS/";
    // Determine the full path
    var fp = fldr + fn +".pdf";
    for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) 
    var fn = getField("P" + oPage + ".template.DateOfDoc").valueAsString + getField("FirstName").valueAsString + "-" + getField("LastName").valueAsString;
    this.extractPages({  
    nStart: i,  
    cPath : fldr + fn + ".pdf"
    Thank you for your help.

  • How to save layered PDD file as JPG?

    Hi, folks:
    [running Photoshop CS3 under Windows XP Pro/SP3 ]
    I have a PSD file with about 14 layers. A few are hidden. I want to save as a jpg, so I go to file -> save as and save as a jpg file (the yellow alert icon shows next to "layers" in the save dialog). Yet the resulting jpg looks just fine. I've been doing this for years.
    Today, support told me in case #180459305 that doing that would corrupt the jpg. They said that I need to first merge layers in the PSD file, then save as a jpg.
    They also suggested that I post this question here. So here it is. Do I have to go through the extra step in manually flattening the PSD file (and potential pitfall of mistakenly saving it as a PSD and losing my layers forever)?
    Thanks,
    Fred

    Hi, Ed, J:
    Thanks for your responses!
    His explanation was as follows:
    Save the layered PSD as a jpg. When you do so, a yellow exclamation alert appears next to "layers" in the save dialogue box. He said this means that the file will be corrupted if it is saved.
    Now I believe it means that layers will be merged during the process of saving as a jpg, and I said so. He said no, let me prove it to you:
    Go to Image->mode-> and set 16 bits per channel. Then save as a jpg. You will notice that there is no way to save an image as a jpg. Now how the hell that proves his former point is beyond me.
    Now for the biggest laugh of the day: he said (in case#180459305) that if you copy or rename files using the filesystem filemanager (e.g., the desktop or windows explorer), that it would open the file to copy or rename it and then rewrite it, thus cause lossy image degradation.
    I told him (politely) that he was wrong - that renaming a file does not open it - it simply updates directory information about the file, and that copying a file (outside of photoshop) does a byte-for-byte clone of the file and does not degrade image quality.
    Where do they get these purported "experts"????
    Cheers,
    Fred

  • How do I isolate and save different sections of a song as separate files

    I am trying to isolate and save different portions of a song as separate files. What is the easiest way to do this. I was thinking of copying and pasting into a new GB window, but cant find anything to open a new window. If a piece i want to save is highlighted in the editor, and I go save as, wouldn't that re-save the entire song again? I have tried highlighting and then dragging the portion to a directory in finder, but that doesn't work. Any other ideas suggestions?

    If a piece i want to save is highlighted in the editor, and I go save as, wouldn't that re-save the entire song again?
    Correct. This is the best way to achieve what you want:
    Open your song, do a "Save as ..." with the name of the first section, delete all the parts that don't belong to it, and save again. Repeat this procedure (always starting with the complete song) for every section.

  • Save part of image as separate file

    Hi,
    I'm an infrequent user of AI, so have a very pathetic question. We have been sent a lovely AI file. We need to save part of the file in .wmf format so we can include it as a nice crisp vector banner graphic in Word (yes, Word). We can't figure out how to save the bit we want without loads of white space all round it.
    If you could point me at the likely tool, I would be very grateful.

  • A way to move layers from one file to another in actions?

    Ok, question for the gurus out there - rather than try to explain, I'll give you an example: Lets say I have a series of adjustment layers that I want to apply to a sequence of 40 images. The adjustments are in a layer group, and are saved as a separate file.
    I DON'T want to drag and drop them, I want to run an action that will copy the adjustments to each image- now I know I can save down each adjustment as a separate file, lets a curve (acv) a selective color (ahu) file and load THAT in as part of my action. But I don't want to do that either, because these adjustments will change and I want to easily re-render my changes on all 40 images in one step.
    I also don't want to use After Effects to do it, because my client doesn't own it. There used to be
    a way to move layers from one file to another in actions because I seem to remember doing it. The answer is not Duplicate Group either because that needs you to specify a destination file name.
    Is it possible to do this without scripting? I'm pretty sure it used to be because I seem to remember doing it, just cant remember HOW I did. Maybe I'm wrong about this though.
    Thanks and sorry for the long post, this has been baffling me for weeks.

    Thanks Ed, but as I explained above
    "I know I can save down each adjustment as a separate file, lets a curve (acv) a selective color (ahu) file and load THAT in as part of my action. But I don't want to do that either"
    What I want to know is is there a way to move adjustment layers from one file to another in an action. I know also that you can use the clipboard to move pixel layers, but I've yet to find a way to move adjustments.

  • How do I export detached audio files as separate files, for Pro Tools processing?

    My project is a live band performance. I have every song as a separate Event with associated audio. I have detachd all the audio from all the video Events. I now want to Export the audio files to Pro Tools for editing, then Import the edited audio back into FCP X and snap the edited audio to the associated video Events.
    My problem is this: FCP X keeps exporting the audio as a single large WAV file, rather than as separate WAV files. In fact, the video events are separate, and so the audio associated with the video Events are separate.
    I first renamed the Role of every audio file as "Music", then did a Share --> Export Media of all "Music" audio Roles. After exporting, I found it was one large WAV file, rather than separate files of different sizes.
    As a 2nd try, I created Sub-Roles for each audio clip, and named each one with a distinct Sub-Role name. I then Exported all these Sub-Roles (yes, tedious). The result was that every exported WAV file was the same size, the same as the file size in my first try. The only audio that could be heard in each file was the audio in that particular song, but FCP X still created the very large file with silence in all the rest of the file. Since the file lengths don't match the original audio fil lengths, there will be a problem when I Import the edited files back into FCP X and want to Snap them into place.
    Question:
    How can I export the individual detached audio clips as separate files, the length of each file equaling the length of the original audio file in FCP X?
    Do I need to separate the detached audio into separate Layers visually in the Project Timeline, so they are not touching? Or does this matter?
    Help!!

    No.
    You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
    Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
    Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
    Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
    Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
    Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
    Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
    Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
    Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
    This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
    It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.
