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.

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.

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.

Saving layers as individual files all at once

Since I am creating files to use in PrEl I need multiple layers to become multiple tracks. Is there any way to simply save all the layers of my files as individual files without unhiding each layer and then saving each file one by one.

Have you also asked on the PremEl forum? I do not believe that PSE has any means of doing this - except in this special context, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to. I was wondering if PremEl has an import facility to deal with it for you.

Exporting Layers to individual files

Simple question. Is it possiple to export layers to indivual files in Photoshop elements 8?
This issue is driving up the wall. So far I have been unable to locate a singl, am I ,issing something?
discussion or tutorial on the subject.
Any input will be most appreciated

If you have pse 6 through pse 10, then this export layers to files script should work:
https://acrobat.com/#d=blJVJ4ZFfR7dRg24q-mBbQ
To install:
1. download and unzip
2. right click on the script and choose copy
3. navigate to the elements scripts folder
example path: (windows and sustitute your version for 8.0)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\Presets\Scripts
4. right click in a blank area and choose paste
5. start or restart elements and export layers to files should be listed under Files>Automation Tools

Script to import layers in other file

Hello,
i'm new to this forum but i use a lot of scripting for my workflow... and there is something i need to do :
i need to import all groups and layers from a local PSD file (that is "my master" with all guidelines from my client : position, spaces, size of product in the picture)
in a other open PSD file to compose the scene,
and i have 10-50 files to do each day.. and i cannot script this part, wich is a problem for me
somebody has the answer ?
Tanx a lot
Agathe

Supposing the receiving image is open and active and the client file really has everything in just on Group and this Group is the topmost Layer this might help:
// 2014, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var aFile = selectFile(false);
if (aFile) {
var theClientFile = app.open(aFile);
var theGroup = theClientFile.layers[0];
theGroup.duplicate(myDocument, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
theClientFile.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)
////// select file //////
function selectFile (multi) {
if (multi == true) {var theString = "please select files"}
else {var theString = "please select one file"};
if ($.os.search(/windows/i) != -1) {var theFiles = File.openDialog (theString, '*.jpg;*.tif;*.psd;*.png', multi)}
else {var theFiles = File.openDialog (theString, getFiles, multi)};
////// filter files for mac //////
function getFiles (theFile) {
if (theFile.name.match(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|png)$/i) || theFile.constructor.name == "Folder") {
return true
return theFiles
To forego the file selection you could drop the lines referring to that and write the file path into (edited)
var theClientFile = app.open(new File(/*insert the proper path here*/));
Edit:
// 2014, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var theClientFile = app.open("…");// include the file’s fullName instead of the periods
var theGroup = theClientFile.layers[0];
theGroup.duplicate(myDocument, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
theClientFile.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)

How do I export layers as individual files?

I have an animation with 24 bit colors and alpha transparency. Each frame is a layer in my project and I wish to export each individual layer as a PNG so I can create an animation in a different tool. Is there a way to do this?

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.

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

Script to save previously unsaved, newly created files?

I'm looking for a script that can save an open, previously unsaved, image as a TIFF file.
It's important that it's not needed to enter a new file name every single time the script is executed, I need the script to do that for me, at least once a file name is pre-defined in the script.
The script must also automatically "number" the files like file0001.tif, file0002.tif,, file0003.tif, etc., in order to not overwrite an already existing file.
Is there a script that fits my description?
Cheers!
Martin

Please try this, you will have to edit the script to meet your needs.
It will save ALL open documents an close them once saved.
#target photoshop
app.bringToFront();
main();
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;
//amend to suit
var folderPath = Folder("/c/folderName");
if(!folderPath.exists) {
    alert("Output folder does not exist!");
    return;
//this should be the first part of the filename
//I.E. if file name = Picture0001.tif it needs to be Picture
//N.B. it must be the same case!
var fileName = "filename";
var fileType = "tif";
while (documents.length) {
var fileList = new Array();
var newNumber=0;
var saveFile='';
fileList = folderPath.getFiles((fileName + "*." + fileType));
fileList.sort().reverse();
if(fileList.length == 0){
saveFile=File(folderPath + "/" + fileName + "0001." +fileType);
SaveTIFF(saveFile);
activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
}else{
newNumber = Number(fileList[0].toString().replace(/\....$/,'').match(/\d+$/)) +1;
saveFile=File(folderPath + "/" + fileName + zeroPad(newNumber, 4) + "." +fileType);

I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer

I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer (not including the hidden layers, but including those visible).
How could modify the script: 'Layer Comps To Files.jsx' to get the result?

Versione in Italiano (Further down the English version)
NB - Nella versione inglese ho messo tutte le immagini dei menu in italiano.
Versione per Mac, ma credo sia identico per Windows.
Spiego passo passo cosa ho fatto:
- Ho creato un file esempio con tre Livelli, salvato sulla scrivania e ho chiuso il file.
- Ho aperto il file e selezionato il Livello al centro per iniziare a registrare una azione che ho chiamato: Save with Name of Selected Layer
- Nuova azione
- Dare il nome e premere Registra
Ora salva…
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Ancora una volta Menu --> Livello... --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello --> Ordina --> Dietro
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci sotto
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci visibili
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello - Nascondi Livello
- Menu --> Elimina --> Elimina livelli nascosti (press -Yes-)
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... Inserisci questo: 'Move this to the trash' e premi ok
- Menu --> File --> Script --> Esporta Livelli in File... (Nella finestra che si apre scegliere l’opzione che si desidera, ma togliere il prefisso del nome) e premere -Esegui-
- Selezionare il pannello Storia cliccare su Elimina premendo -Si- ogni volta che si apre la finestra di dialogo (Ripetere 8 volte questa operazione sino ad arrivare nella storia alla condizione di partenza. Ho visto che è meglio di Ripristina -F12-)
- Fermare la registrazione.
A questo punto, mandando in esecuzione questa Azione, ho raggiunto parzialmente l’obiettivo perché i file così creati mantengono, purtroppo, dei prefissi numerici per evitare probabilmente la sovrascrizione di file (credo senza avviso) nel posto dove vengono creati.
Per ottenere l’obiettivo occorre un nuovo passo ed a proposito di questo riferisco quanto segue:
ATTENZIONE - L’operazione descritta qui di seguito deve essere fatta su di una copia del file, per cui:
- Duplicare il file,
- Spostare l’originale in altra cartella
- Lavorare sul file duplicato.
mi riferisco a questo...
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica è effettuata a proprio rischio e pericolo ed il sottoscritto non si assume alcuna responsabilità su quanto venga fatto soprattutto da mani inesperte.
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica sovrascrive qualsiasi file che abbia nome uguale al layer che viene selezionato più l’estensione del file naturalmente.
Comunque la modifica è banalissima e a portata di chiunque.
Procedere così:
- Chiudere Photoshop
- Aprire (nel percorso specificato dall’immagine) il file “Export Layers to Files.jsx” (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) con un editor di testo puro.
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1029)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4);
fileNameBody += "_" + layerName;
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += layerName;
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1047-46)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4) + "s";
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "";
- salvare e uscire.
- riavviare Photoshop
- provare l’azione registrata facendo attenzione che il nome del layer non sia identico al nome di un file già presente altrimenti questo verrà sovrascritto.
Domanda:
Perché ho creato livelli che poi ho eliminato ecc.
Risposta:
Semplice per evitare errori di esecuzione delle azioni nel caso di operazioni con livelli mancanti o altro.
Semplice... no?
English version
Mac version, but I think it's the same for Windows.
First of all, I'm translating the actions that I made using the Italian version of Photoshop, you look at the position of the menu that I have chosen to do the work with other languages.
I explain step by step what I did:
- I created a sample file with three layers, saved to the desktop and I closed the file.
- I opened the file and select the layer at the center to start recording an action that I called: Save with Name of the Selected Layer
- New action
- Give the name and press Save ( I think it is so in English )
Now save ...
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Once again Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - > Arrange (order) -> Behind
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Down
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Visible
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - Hide Layer
- Menu - > Delete - > Delete hidden layers (press -Yes- )
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… Enter this: ' Move this to the trash ' and press ok
- Menu -> File - > Scripts -> Export Layers To Files... (In the window that opens select the option you want, but take away the name prefix) and press - Run -
- Select the History panel and click Delete (on menu opened) pressing -Yes- every time when open the dialog box (8 times Repeat this step until you get into the story to the starting condition. Not use Restore -F12-).
- Stop recording.
At this point, by executing this action, I have reached the goal partly because the files created in this way remain, unfortunately, the numerical prefixes to avoid possibly overwriting of files (I think without notice) in the place where they are created.
To achieve the goal we need a new step and thinking about this as follows:
WARNING - The operation described below should be made on a copy of the file, so :
- Duplicate the file
- Move the original folder to another
- Work on the duplicate file.
WARNING - This modification is performed at your own risk and the undersigned assumes no responsibility on what is done mostly by inexperienced hands.
WARNING - This change will overwrite any files with the same name as the selected layer plus the file extension of course.
However, the change is trivial and within reach of anyone.
Proceed as follows:
- Close Photoshop
- Open (in the specified path from the image ) file " Export Layers to Files.jsx " (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) with a pure text editor.
- Search for the string (should be in line 1029 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody = + "_" + zeroSuppress (i, 4 ) ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + layerName ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = layerName ;
- Search for the string (should be in line 1047-46 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + zeroSuppress (i, 4) + "s" ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "";
- Save and exit.
- Restart Photoshop
- Try the recorded Action, making sure that the layer name is not identical to the name of an existing file otherwise it will be overwritten.
Question:
Why I created levels which I then deleted etc..
Answer:
Simple to avoid errors of execution of the actions in the case of transactions with missing levels and other.
Simple ... is not it?
Sorry for my bad English...
Thanks in advance for any hint.

Hello, is there a way to export or save layers from Indesign to separate png or pdf -files?

Hello, is there a way to export or save layers from Indesign to separate png or pdf -files? I have a Indesign document with serveral layers and I need them as separate png files.
I know that is is possible with Illustrator but can't find it for Indesign.
Thanks a lot.

The script Peter's noting is in #122 here:

It is OSX only and exports PDFs for creating Photoshop layers. The exported PDFs get trashed so if you can use AppleScript I can edit out the Photoshop part post a version that only saves the PDFs

A script that captures the coordinates of the mouse clicks and saves them into a file

Hello,
I'm trying to create a cartoon taking a movie (I've chosen blade runner) as base. I've got the real movie and I've exported all the pictures using VirtualDUB. Now I have a lot of images to modify. I would like to modify the actors faces with the faces generated by Facegen modeller. I'm thinking how to make the whole process automatic because I have a lot of images to manage. I've chosen to use Automate BPA,because it seems the best for this matter. I'm a newbie,so this is my first attempt using Adobe Photoshop and Automate BPA. I wrote a little script. It takes a face generated with Facegen modeller and tries to put it above the original actors faces. But it doesn't work very good and I'm not really satisfied,because the process is not fully automated. To save some time I need to write a script that captures the coordinates of the mouse when I click over the faces and that saves them into a file,so that Automate BPA can read these coordinates from that file and can put the face generated with Facegen Modeller above the original face. I think that Automate BPA is not good for this matter. I think that two coordinates are enough,X and Y. They can be the coordinates of the nose,because it is always in the middle of every face. It is relevant to knows how big should be the layer of the new face,too. This is the Automate BPA code that I wrote :
<AMVARIABLE NAME="nome_foto" TYPE="TEXT"></AMVARIABLE>

and this is a short video to explain better what I want to do :
http://www.flickr.com/photos/26687972@N03/5331705934/
In the last scene of the video you will see the script asking to input the X and the Y coordinates of the nose. This request is time consuming. For this reason I want to write a script that captures automatically the coordinates of the mouse clicks. The only thing to do should be click over the nose and the script should make the rest. As "c.pfaffenbichler" suggested here : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/775219, I could explore 3 ways :
1) use the Color Sampler Tool’s input with a conventional Photoshop Script.
2) use After Effects would provide a better solution.
3) Photoshop’s Animation Panel might also offer some easier way as it might be possible to load two movies (or one movie and one image) and animate the one with the rendered head in relation to the other.
Since I'm a totally newbie in graphic and animation,could you help me to explore these ways ? Thanks for your cooperation.

These are the coordinates of the contours of the face that you see on the picture. Can you explain to me how they are calculated ? The coordinates of the first colums are intuitive,but I'm not able to understand how are calculated the coordinates of the second one.
Thanks.

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.

Create a script to save multiple groups into seperate png files

Hello,
I want to use a script to save every group I made into a '.PNG. I'm visualizing something like this, but the outputformat/name doesn't matter, as long it is a output from a group:
group1 -> 1.png
group2 -> 2.png
group3 -> 3.png
group4 -> 4.png
etc.
I noticed that someone create a script like that, but it isn't using for me anymore. Find here the script that isnt working for me:
Re: Export Groups to Files?
I am using Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 7 (64bit).
Looking forward to your reply! Thanks.
Kind regards,
