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

Edit the script in ExtendScript Toolkit as per attached pic.

How do I export Layers to individual Files?

In Photoshop CS, there is a script that exports Layers to individual Files.
Go to File>Scripts>Export Layers to Files.

Hi Arien,
If your animation program supports paste open it and select each layer,
Select>All, Edit>Copy and paste that layer into that program.
If your animation program doesn't support paste you can paste each layer
into a New file and save it as a *.png image.

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.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

I use photoshop elements version 11 and just bought a nikon d750. Photoshop elements can't open/read the raw/NEF-file. Does a photoshop elements raw converter exist for Nikon d750 ??? And where can I get it ?

I use photoshop elements version 11. I just bought a nikon d750. Photoshop elements can't read/open the raw/NEF-file.
Does a raw converter exist for this camera and where can I find it ?
Thanks for any help.

You need Adobe camera raw version 8.7. Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

My Photoshop Elements does not start any more. It gives response "Photoshop elements cannot start or continue because of missing file(s). Please reinstall." How do I get the installing file again (I bought it via internet the first time december 2013?)

Did you download the Basic/Free version?
I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
All sales are final and there are no refunds.
Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - can I add an additional .icc file

I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - can I add an additional .icc file to 'convert to profile' so that when I send my photos off for printing, they come back exactly as they appear on my screen. If not, how do I get them printed properly?
thanks

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum.

When I try to reinstall Photoshop Element 13, I get the message "cannot write file". i own the program and I don't want to subscribe to Creative Cloud. What can I do?

This has nothing to do with CC or any of that. You have insufficient user privileges to write files locally on your computer or a technical issue gets in teh way. Since you have not provided any system info or otehr details, we cannot tell you more than that.

Photoshop Elements 11- Create and save multiple page PDF's? Software bug or new limitation?

I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to Photoshop Elements 11. One of the reasons I stayed with Adobe rather than Corel was the ability to work with multipage PDF's.
I noticed that I can't add more than one page to a project and save a multiple page PDF. I can open a multiple page PDF, but not create or save one.
Is this a new limitation, or just a software bug Adobe plans to fix?
Has anyone found a way to work with multiple page PDF's in Photoshop Elements 11?

It's a new limitation in PSE 11, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons.

Photoshop elements 9 won't save

Every time I try to save my work in photoshop elements 9 it won't let me save anything, and then it quits. A window pops up asking if I want it to reopen which it does. I'm able to start working again and everything seems fine until I try to save it. Please help.

Please try the foremost common solution. Try reseting the preferences.
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

Photoshop Elements 2 won't save pictures

I have Photoshop Elements 2 - Yes, a very old version that has worked great until I downloaded AVG PC TuneUp 2014. I'm wondering if this is just a coincidence or the AVG program has somehow disabled something. AVG says NOT! What do you say?

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Do you get any error message when you try to save?

Photoshop Elements 7 difficulty with photo layers

I'm beyond frustrated and hoping that I can explain this clearly. I just purchased/upgraded Photoshop Elements 7. I am using an HP. Everytime that I drag a photo onto a blank canvas, I am unable to resize the photo on the layer without distorting it. I did not have this problem the first time I used the program but have since. I have reset all of the tools without success. I also previously had been able to replace the photo on my projects by dragging a new photo over top of the one that I want to replace, but now I cannot do this either. Any suggestions?

Hi out there I need some help (BIG TIME)I am new to all this can someone please tell me what Photoshop program can I use to cut the head off of one Photo an put it on another Photo with out spending an arm or a leg for the program I have tried calling Adobe Photoshop
but everyone I talked to just told me to hold for the next guy that went on for over a hour then I gave up I went to all the computer stores buy me and everyone said they didn't know or I had to buy Adobe Photoshop CS3 price $1,600.00 dollars I don't mine spending 1 or 2 hundred dollars for a program but that's it so if anyone out there can tell me how to do this an what program to use you can e-mail me at [email protected] thanks James

Using Photoshop Elements to edit raw. Doesn't recognize file type

I recently downloaded photoshop elements to use as my editor within Iphoto. I've set it up as the default editor in preferences, and made the appropriate change in the advanced settings within Iphoto so that it exports edits in RAW. When I attempt to edit by double clicking, Photoshop Elements gives me a msg that it can't open file because it does not recognize the file type. Does anyone know why this would be? I am using a Nikon D60. I haven't downloaded the Nikon software onto the computer (not sure if that has anything to do with it). Does photoshop elements need anything additional? Any help appreciated.
Thx
Richie

Richie:
As Terence mentioned we can help with using PSE within iPHoto but why PSE doesn't recognize the D60 files is an Adobe issue. I believe there are Adobe plugins available to handle RAW files. Check the Adobe site for those. For using PSE to edit jpgs within iPhoto this may be of some help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Photoshop Elements 6 won't open RAW with XMP file.

Hi,
I searched for an answer but, could not find an answer.
I edited a RAW file with Photoshop Elements 6 (mac). I saved the file and closed the program. Next day I fire up PSE6 and open the same RAW file; the file is unedited. How can I open the RAW file with the edits I made the day before? I see the xmp file in finder.
I'm still on the trial version. Camera is a Canon 50D. I can open and edit the RAW with out problem. When I start PSE6 Adobe update fails and gives me the options: Ignore,Relaunch,Send report to Apple.
After that PSE opens for me
Help me Obi Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.
Thanks.

Are you hitting the save button? That is creating a DNG file someplace. If you just want to save your edits, that should happen automatically when you click Open or Done. If it doesn't, try going to your username>preferences folder and deleting the Adobe Camera Raw preferences.
