Photoshop Generate image assets

When I try to generate an asset from a Ps layer in a subfolder like in the example [subfolder]/Ellipse_4.jpg   , it generate an error txt message:
So why doesn't Ps accept the "/" character ?   Thanks for any help.
Victor

Because it's an illegal character in file names.
Stick to numbers, the letters of the English alphabet, hyphens and underscores.
Just a clarification in general:

  • Generate Image Assets crashes Photoshop when making half-size pngs from groups

    I've been getting Photoshop CC to crash consistantly when I try to generate scaled-down pngs from a layer group.  If I have generate image assets on and change a group name to "50% name.png", Photoshop instantly crashes.  If generate assets is off and I change a group name to "50% name.png" Photoshop does not crash until I try turning on generate assets, and then it crashes instantly.  Trying "50% name.png, name_full.png" also fails.  This has occured in different files.  It does not happen in every file or every time, but it happens very often.
    I'm using Windows 8 and Photoshop CC 14.1.1 x64.

    Hi.
    I’ve installed the latest photoshop update (14.2.1 x64). Unfortunately the new update makes me now impossible to use the generator routine. My project needs “decades” longer to realise that I’ve activated the generator in the File menu. I click on Generate->Image Assets and nothing happens… first. After half a minute or so the checkbox eppear finally. You must know: I have more than 100 Layers to be generated to single images. A lot of them are smart objects or groups.
    When I finally save my file to start the generate routine, I needs a lot ( ! ) longer to generate the images than before.
    Additionally my main problem is stil lthere: Impossible to rename any layer or activate the blending menue, while the generator runs.
    So with this update I’ve to wait much much longer to activate or deactivate the generate routine. Deactivating needs a long time too… What have you done there Adobe? (Sorry for this words.)
    @Adobe support: Please contact me personally via mail if possible and I will send you the project file where this problem appear. I can’t publish the file for everybody, sorry guys.
    Do someone knows how to go back to the prevoius installation? Really sad about the generator. A must buy argument and actually a real time saver.

  • Photoshop 2014 - File Generator Image Assets not working

    Win7 Pro 64bit
    Photoshop 2014.2.1
    Draw three layers with the brush and add extension .PNG to each layer name
    Edit > Preferences > Plug-Ins  : Enable Generator is checked
    File > Generate > Image Assets : no check mark ever appears by "Image Assets" and no files are created
    What am I doing wrong?  Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I actually reported my results from my mid 2009 Macbook, so now from Windows 7 x64/Dell CC 2014.
    Create new file
    Check Image assets, no checkmark.
    Convert background into floating layer, rename it 1.png, swipe a brushstroke.
    Now I'm able to checkmark and extract 1.png.

  • Generate image assets from within Smart Object

    Hi,
    When designing for phones I create a large canvas with all screens spread out accross it. Every screen is a Smart Object. To me this has many advantages.
    When editing a screen I open the Smart Object. Now I turn on Generate Image Assets. I notice that no resource folder is created.
    Seems like Generating Image Assets from within a smart object is not possible.
    Is that correct? If so, why isn't the menu option greyed out?
    UPDATE: I found that you can use Generate Image Assets from within a Smart Object. But NOT if the Smart Object is part of a PSD. In other words, only if the Smart Object (psb) is a seperate file.
    I wonder why.
    Cheers,
    H

    Old thread, but I had the exact same problem.  It turns out (on Windows at least), that you can find the generated assets folder for a smart object, but you have to know where to look.
    With the smart object "opened" in Photoshop, click "Save as". This shows the location of the current smart object being edited. For me, it was: C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Local\Temp\Layer112112121.psb
    And lo and behold, right next to the layer temp file was the image asset output folder with my generated assets in it:
    C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Local\Temp\Layer112112121 - assets
    You can right-click and "Open in a new window" to get a file explorer window in that folder (see image below).
    (Possibly important note: Close or cancel the Save As dialog, we don't actually want to save the layer to a different location.)
    This location makes sense, but it does seem to be a poor user experience design. Presumably temp files should output their asset folders to the desktop, just like unsaved PSD files.

  • Photoshop CC Image Assets Folder Question

    Can I move my Photoshop CC generated Image Assets folder away from the native file and keep it connected for updating?

    It will only generate assets to the parent folder.  You can move the folder, but it will recreate it.

  • Photoshop CC Image Asset Generator Save as CMYK?

    The new image asset generator in PSCC is awesome! I wanted to see if it's possible to export image assets as CMYK for print? If not, could it be added as a image as a tag option or perhaps just adhere to the original document settings?
    Thanks!

    If you want transparency for the web there are two choices PNG and GIF. Gif only supports 255 mapped colors when you want transparency and transparent pixels are empty 0% opacity.  PNG supports full color and an Alpha channel for transparency partial transparency is supported. GIF file are very small.
    There are also animated GIF file that browsers support.  While you can create animated png file many browsers don't support them and some browsers like Chrome have an add-on that will support animated png files. Photoshop will save Animated GIF but has no support for animated PNG.

  • File Generate Image Assets: no checkmark

    When selecting the Image Assets as taught in the video http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/generate-assets-layers.html I do not get a checkmark andtherefore this feature is not working.  I am using Photoshop CC version 14.1.1 in a Windows 7 environment.  Any suggestions?

    Yes, I have Enable Generator checked. And yes, I have a PS document with layers open.
    As I'm a developer I do have a very custom set-up on my machine.
    By this I mean I have edited my PATH in command line and have a lot of things installed such as ruby, nodejs, git, etc.
    Not sure if this would affect PS.

  • Photoshop Help | Generate image assets from layers | Photoshop CC

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/generate-assets-layers.html

    Adding a margin feature would be awesome.
    eg: logo.jpg+10px
    The end result would be the image with 10px of extra white-space on each side.
    More awesome would be "logo.jpg+10px5px10px5px"
    So you could define the extra space for each side following the css standard, top right bottom left.
    This could come in handy if you want to generate buttons for let's say an iOS app. Imagine you have a tiny help button that is 20x20px, if you import this the standard hit state will be small (the 20x20), but if you add an extra whitespace margin the hitstate will be much bigger than the icon itself, making it more user friendly to tap on the button.
    Please consider this feature. Thanks!

  • Generate Image Assets + Scaling = Poor Quality

    Hello
    I am attempting to use the generate assets feature to create 2x retina images. The images I need to export are photos with a text overlay. The photos are all high resolution converted to smart objects. When I export the images, however, the quality of the photo is not good, like it was resized up without being a smart object.
    my group of objects being exported is named:
    200% bath_designsR.png, bath_designs.png
    Is what I am attempting possible?
    Thanks!

    Did you place as a SO or convert a Layer to a SO?
    Seems there is a difference …

  • File Generate Image Assets not working for me: no Javascript Plugin :-\

    Do I need to reinstall entire Adobe PS CC 2014 application?
    The folder /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/Plug-ins/Generator/ is in fact empty when I check. In fact so is the Plug-ins folder more generally.

    Well I contacted Adobe Support via chat and after a long time getting them to understand the problem they conformed that there is no Adobe plug-in in the Plug-ins Folder, in spite of there being a Generator folder inside the Plug-ins folder it should be empty and the whole plug-in folder: it's default install state is empty.
    A reinstall did however fix the problem. Perhaps Javascript was not working, given the Dialog message.

  • Generate image assets "default" does not work in CC but does in CC 2014

    When I use "default -this" in a layer in photoshop cc it does not change the file names. In CC 2014 the same file works as expect.

    I installed Image Processor Pro quite some time ago. I extracted the extension package and just copied the two files "Image Processor Pro.xml" and "Image Processor Pro.jsx" into Photoshop's versions Presets\Scripts. I normally install things I add to Photoshop into my own folders outside any Adobe installation folder.   Image Processor Pro  is an exception because I did not want to modify X's code.  Image Processor Pro is coded in a way to find which version of Photoshop is being run from and looks for its default xml file in that version Presets\scripts\ folder.
    The script may save your modficaions to its defalt xml file into you user ID application data areas. And you can save you own Image Processor Pro presets configurations.
    I run Windows not Mac though.

  • Photoshop Generate Assets is not Dimensioning Correctly

    I'm using Photoshop's generate assets to create smaller images for the web, but specifying a dimension is not working. For example I have an image that is 3871 x 1890. I renamed the layer to 1024 x 500 image.jpg. Instead of an image the is 1024 x 500, I got an image that was 1021 x 367. Another image that was 2084 x 1255, I renamed to 500x? image.jpg and got an image that was 268 x 162.

  • Where can i Download the Photoshop Generator plugin for reflow?

    I'm trying to export a design from photoshop to reflow, but the option is not available i only have generate image assets. I have gone into preferences and enabled generator under plugins but it's still not working. Any suggestions? I watched a few tutorials on it including adobe made ones, they mention a downloadable plugin if it for some reason didn't come with the latest version of reflow/photoshop.

  • Why won't Photoshop generate an Edge Reflow Project?

    Hello
    I've been trying to import my photoshop file to edge reflow, just as it's been stated in the videos but when I click generate reflow project nothing happens. There's no file created. Also, Edge reflow can't doesn't connect to Photoshop CC. I have both the latest versions of both, and they're up to date. Any help as to why is this happening would be appreciated. Thank you.

    You need to install the reflow plugin for PS CC. After that you nee to rename some layers to e.g "Layer1.jpg" and enable the file --> generate --> image asset option.
    Finally under the same menue you are now offered the new "edge reflow project" option.
    Switch back to reflow and hit the PS Button on the right. Now that reflow has a sync on ps you may import the current psd to a new page.
