Where is old ImageReady Layers to Files functionality?

Back in CS2 in ImageReady (now long gone from the Adobe lineup) there was the ability to efficiently export the layers in a Photoshop doc to individual layers. It did this very very quickly and it gave you a TON of control on how the files were named and saved.
Does this functionality exist anywhere in Creative Suites now? I mean OTHER THAN the Export to Layers javascript in Photoshop. That script is insanely slow and has no real control over what files are named.  Right now, I have a Photoshop file with a measly 45 layers and it takes Photoshop CS5 8 minutes to run the script - plus it adds a bunch of spurious characters to the layer names that need to be removed after the fact. Image ready would have run it in less than 30 seconds (and that's in computers from 5 or 6 years ago) and the names would be exactly what they need to be.
I've also tried Fireworks and have had no better luck. Apparently, it will only output Layer GROUPS as layers.  (Honestly, after having Fireworks for several years now I still don't know what it's good for.)
I hope I'm just being grumpy and stupid and have somehow missed something obvious.
Thanks

@ Jeffrey
I just checked (I dumped my old machine to a VM) ... ImageReady preserves masks (layer & folder), but ignores adjustment layers.  It also ignores any other layers which are visible.  So in terms of raw output it is very similar to the current CS5 script (apart from CS5 occasionally cropping in to closest fit ... perhaps a feature?).
The ImageReady feature that scored so highly for me was all the presets and file naming combo options for "layers to files" - including sequentials with leading zeros, etc etc - enlightened.  For my line of work (game assets) this workflow is critical.
Best regards.

  • How batch export layers to files png in cc

    I am having trouble with an export layers to files script i am wanting to batch export layer to png and this script i have seems to be the one i want although every time i run the script i get this error message "could not complete the action  since the destination folder doesn't exist" the script required me to hard code my destination path the path i require is "C:/Users/Tim/Desktop/Backdrops/png/" I am not completely sure why its stating it does not exist any help would be greatly appreciated. i have tried to contact the creator but the post it was on was very old.

    I have put the like var exportPath = "~/Desktop/Backdrops/png/";  and have removed the exportPath = exportPath + '/layers';
    but when i run the script it still comes up with the error
    could not complete action since the destination folder does not exist
    if you are using the extendedscript toolkit would be able to run the script and see if you know were the problem is coming from i cant seem to understand why its not seeing the destination.
    thanks for all your help

  • Preserving background in Export Layers as Files

    Back in the days of CS2 and ImageReady, there was an advanced export layers as files and it had an option of preserving the background while exporting all the visible layers above it. Is there any possible way to achieve this with CS4? I know there is the Export Layers to Files but it generates separate files for every layer and I need each separate image above the background to be on TOP of the background.

    Something like this should work:
    // enable double clicking from the
    // Macintosh Finder or the Windows Explorer
    #target photoshop
    // Make Photoshop the frontmost application
    app.bringToFront();
    // Start at the top of the layers stack and select each
    // layer in turn
    for (var i = 0; i < activeDocument.layers.length; i++) {
    activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layers[i];
    // Put all your processing functions... //
    duplicateSelectedLayers(activeDocument.activeLayer.name);
    var psdSaveOptions = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();
    app.activeDocument.saveAs( File( "~/Desktop/" + activeDocument.name + ".psd" ), psdSaveOptions);
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    // ...in the area between these two comments. //
    function duplicateSelectedLayers(soParent){
    var id2277 = charIDToTypeID( "Mk " );
    var desc304 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var id2278 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    var ref144 = new ActionReference();
    var id2279 = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
    ref144.putClass( id2279 );
    desc304.putReference( id2278, ref144 );
    var id2280 = charIDToTypeID( "Nm " );
    desc304.putString( id2280, soParent );
    var id2281 = charIDToTypeID( "Usng" );
    var ref145 = new ActionReference();
    var id2282 = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
    var id2283 = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
    var id2284 = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
    ref145.putEnumerated( id2282, id2283, id2284 );
    desc304.putReference( id2281, ref145 );
    executeAction( id2277, desc304, DialogModes.NO );

  • Modding the Export Layers to Files script to preserve .jpg quality

    Please forgive me if I am posting this incorrectly, but as the thread I initially replied to is marked as Answered I started to wonder whether my question would be seen or not so I started this new thread.  My original question is located in the thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/2795719#2795719 because Kari was having a similar issue to mine, but with a different file format.  My original text:
    I am having a similar issue, except that I need to save each layer as a .jpg, and the Export Layers to Files script is compressing the images in some fashion so that a previously seamlessly tiling layer now has a border that ruins the tile.  If I save each layer individually using either the Save As command or Save for Web and Devices with the proper settings (Maximum Quality, Progressive, and Baseline Standard), the resulting images don't acquire this border, so I feel pretty certain it is something in the script that is messing up (changing the compression of) the layers, but I honestly don't know what.  I have tried modifiying the jpeg portion of the script this way, hoping to prevent it from deviating from the usual Save As options:
            case jpegIndex:
                docRef.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
                var saveFile = new File(exportInfo.destination + "/" + fileNameBody + ".jpg");
                jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
                jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
                jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
                jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
                jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality; // 12
                docRef.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
                break;
    but this doesn't seem to affect whatever setting is being changed.  Layers saved to .jpg this way still acquire the border.  I don't see what line might control whether the image is saved as progressive or not, nor anything to affect the text setting "Maximum" that I use when I successfully save each layer individually.
    I am a complete novice at scripting, so please excuse/explain the obvious mistakes I may be making here.
    I have since installed the script listener plug in and isolated a bit of script for saving the intended way, and hope to insert this snippet into the Export Layers as Files script, but I can tell that some of the lines are extraneous (like where it points to the file path I took), but I don't know what is safe to trim out.  I sincerely appreciate any assistance with this!

    Here is the script that uses scriptlistner to do the jpeg save. Note I changed the name by adding '_mod' to the end to remind you that it has been edited. You can remove the origianl version by moving the file to another folder outside the scripts folder or by adding ~ at the start of the filename.
    I recommend saving this as Export Layers to Files_mod.jsx. If this doesn't work for you we can try using the scriptlistener saveForWeb.

  • Export Layers to Files w/ Save-for-Web Option

    Back in CS2, ImageReady provided support for exporting layers to files, but in a save-for-web style compression.  Since ImageReady has been discontinued, the only option available has been to use the current script in photoshop.
    We've done several quality tests on exported images from both programs, and since all of our work is done for web, keeping file sizes to a minimum and utilizing the SFW compression is a must.
    Can anyone instruct me how to add this functionality to the current export layers to files script?

    That line should not be a problem, I wonder if you are trying to run the script from ExtendScript Toolkit?
    If so you need to set the target as Photoshop (Top Left dropdownlist)
    If not, that line is not really required and can be commented out.
    An alternative to this script is my Layer Saver Script that might be of use...

  • How to avoid double extension *jpg.tif when exporting layers to files?

    Please help, I checked all the topics related and it seems nobody bothers about this issue.
    When I do a Photomerge of a series of jpg files, Photoshop builds a multilayered file - but preserves in the name of each layer *.jpg 
    When I want now to export layers to files, the Scripting function will do the dumb thing and export each file with the original name - ending in JPG - , plus the extension required by me - for ex tif.
    It does the same if I chose to export as jpg files and puts double extension again < *.JPG.jpg> at the end of each file exported from a layer.
    I looked everywhere and couldn't find a way to solve this behavior, which forces me to do batch renames in Bridge.
    The next program where I need the files (After Effects) doesn't want to import these files with double extensions.
    Has anyone encountered this issue and what can be done to avoid these double extensions at Scripts/Export layers to files?
    Thanks for the answer

    I have just altered my script so that it will remove the extentions if found.
    http://www.scriptsrus.talktalk.net/Layer%20Saver.htm
    Also it would be better to use :-
    var layerName = activeDocument.activeLayer.name.replace(/\....$/,'');
    As this way it doesn't arbitory remove the last four characters, only if it finds a fullstop.

  • Export Layers as Files: Top Level Layers and Layers Sets

    Is there a script that can do the following that ImageReady was capable of?
    File/Export Layers as Files/
    I know there is a script that can just export the layer as files, but what I want to do is export the "Top Level Layers and Layer Sets" so that I can send several layers grouped under a folder as one image.
    Thanks! - j

    // Start at the top of the layers stack and select each

  • Aperture saving layered TIFF files incorrectly from CS5

    Hello All--
    I've had a problem for some time now.
    The short and no so sweet:
    I open a RAW file as a TIFF file in CS5 directly from Aperture. I work on the file in CS5, incorporating layer masks, etc. and then save the final version back to aperture as a layered TIFF file. This is where the problem occurs. Aperture corrupts the file upon saving. When I try and view the file in Aperture, it only displays a portion of the image (or one of the masks) and that's it.
    Right now, it seems to happen at random. Super frustrating as I never really know when it will or won't occur. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I found an old post here that seemed to note the same issue on a much older version of Aperture (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3343863). I'm currently running the latest version of Aperture.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    First of all, Aperture does not save files. It may not properly display the file that CS5 saved, but it didn't save it.
    When you say you've exported the files and they appear corrupt, do you mean export version or export master. The later will export exactly what CS5 saved.
    If you have extra channels- other than R, G, B and the RGB composite channel- in Photoshop including saved selections (but not including layer masks which only appear in the Channels Panel when the layer is active) it will not display properly in Aperture.
    This goes back to version 1.0. If you need to save a channel, save it as a disabled layer mask. You can easily test to see if this is the problem: Open two images in Photoshop and save a channel in one of them but not the other. See how Aperture handles them.

  • 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.

  • Wheres the old network documentation when installing from 2010 source?

    wheres the old network style wiki resources for users who install from a 2010 source?  Im installing from a 2010.05 core, and it uses the old network config in rc.conf. 
    example
    #rc.conf
    INTERFACES=(eth0)
    eth0="dhcp"
    gateway="default gw 192.168.1.254"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    #resolv.conf
    nameserver=8.8.8.8
    nameserver=8.8.4.4
    i can ping my gateway and lan members, but i cant ping 8.8.8.8, so that makes sense why i cant ping google.com
    am i just not adresing all the conf files, or is this a gateway issue?  also, i couldnt get dhcp to work.  I set it that way first, it wouldnt not grab an ip.  Then once i set it static, and then back to dhcp, it reverts to the static ip either way.
    [we really need a resource that shows up on a google search of "arch ROUTES(", or "arch ROUTES(!gateway)", or "arch INTERFACES=" because if users only have access to an older install source (i left my newer source at work, doh), we want them to be up and running, and updated right away]

    Patches welcome :-)
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=111704 - it's not pretty, but you can look at the code:
    ==Networking==
    * {{Codeline|[[HOSTNAME]]}}: Set this to the hostname of the machine, without the domain part. This is totally your choice, as long as you stick to letters, digits and a few common special characters like the dash. Don't be too creative here, though, and when in doubt, use the default.
    * {{Codeline|INTERFACES}}: Here you define the settings for your networking interfaces. The default lines and the included comments explain the setup well enough. If you do not use DHCP to configure a device, just keep in mind that the value of the variable (whose name must be equal to the name of the device which is supposed to be configured) equals the line which would be appended to the {{Codeline|ifconfig}} command if you were to configure the device manually in the shell.
    * {{Codeline|ROUTES}}: You can define your own static network routes with arbitrary names here. Look at the example for a default gateway to get the idea. Basically the quoted part is identical to what you'd pass to a manual route add command, therefore reading man route is recommended if you don't know what to write here, or simply leave this alone.
    * {{Codeline|NETWORKS}}: This enables certain [[network profiles]] at boot-up. Network profiles provide a convenient way of managing multiple network configurations, and are intended to replace the standard {{Codeline|INTERFACES}}/{{Codeline|ROUTES}} setup that is still recommended for systems with only one network configuration. If your computer will be connecting to various networks at various times (e.g., a laptop) then you can configure profiles in the {{Filename|/etc/network.d}} directory. There are template files included in {{Filename|/etc/network.d/examples}} that can be used to create new profiles.

  • Can you sort layers by file size?

    I'm working on a catalog, not my own, that was set up with all the layout done in Photoshop then placed in ID for copy and a few rasters (barcodes, mostly) to be placed in ID.  Without getting into a conversation about how this is actually supposed to be accomplished, I have run into a problem.
    The .psd is hitting the 2GB limit for file size and can only be saved as a .psb.  .psb can not be placed in ID.
    I would like to reduce the size of the .psd.  Is there a way to figure out where the bloat is?  I know that there are some fat smart objects that could be rasterized, but I don't know which ones are the most chubby.  Can I sort layers by file size or determine the size of a layer without drilling into every smart object?
    Thanks!

    I don't know of a way offhand except to export the layers as files and observe the file sizes.
    Photoshop Help | Saving images   File menu > Scripts > Export Layers to Files.
    Maybe even faster would be to save the PSD as a Layered tiff. Tiffs have an upper limit of 4 GB.
    "Save as" would allow you to keep the PSD as a backup and InDesign should recognize tiffs.

  • Moved library to external HD, iTunes still uses old iTunes Library.itl file

    Howdy-
    I'm running Windows 7 & iTunes XXX
    I moved my library from my laptop internal hard drive (C:\Users\jasonbar\Music\iTunes) to my external hard drive (G:\iTunes).
    I followed the recommended procedure:
    1 - Edit/Preferences: check "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized"
    2 - Edit/Prefrences: click "Change" & input "G:\iTunes" into box to denote new library location
    3 - File/Library/Organize Library & check "Consolidate Files"
    Now, I've found that iTunes still uses the old "iTunes Library.itl" file in the old location (C:\Users\jasonbar\Music\iTunes).  For the sake of convenience (and to make the library entirely self-contained on the external HD & to protect it from possible laptop loss/failure), it would be swell if I could migrate that file over to my external hard drive also.  But, if I remove the "iTunes Library.itl" file from the old location & copy it to the new iTunes directory, iTunes just doesn't seem to be able to figure out that there's a nice "iTunes Library.itl" file on my external hard drive that it can use.
    Is there any way to achieve what I want?
    Thank you,
    -Jason

    I assume you have your iTunes folder located on your other drive (no Music folder enclosing it.) On your startup volume you have a /Home/Music/ folder but the iTunes folder has been removed. OK, so far?
    Go to where the real iTunes folder is located. Select the folder then CTRL or RIGHT-click and select Make alias from the contextual menu. You should see a new icon appear named "iTunes alias" with a little curly arrow in the lower left corner of the icon. Now, copy the alias file to the /Home/Library/Music/ folder on your startup volume. Rename it to just "iTunes" (no quotes.) Delete the alias you created on the other drive.
    Now when you double-click on the iTunes alias in your /Home/Music/ folder your real iTunes folder should open up. Now if you open iTunes application it should re-discover the iTunes folder.
    Or you can do what the other posted suggested. Simply point iTunes to the new location of your iTunes folder. Open iTunes Preferences, click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. Click on the Change button, locate the new library location, click on OK button of the Open dialog.

  • File upload from form using cf8 file functions within cfscript?

    essentially, i'm wondering if anyone can give me an example
    of a way to replicate cffile upload using cf8's native file
    manipulation functions within a cfscript tag?
    more specifically, i am wondering if anyone had any code
    examples for uploading a file specified by a user on an html form
    using cf8's file functions (fileOpen, fileCopy, fileDelete,
    fileMove, fileClose, etc....) within a cfscript tag. i've done this
    a number of times in the past using upload through cffile, but i'd
    like to take advantage of cf8's new native file functions and be
    able to deploy the code within a cfscript block.
    i've found some simple examples of the file functions within
    the docs and online, but nothing showing me how to take a file from
    an html form and upload it where i want it, as cffile will do.
    thanks in advance for any help.

    those cf8 file functions are for manipulating files on the
    server.
    you still need to upload the file in one way or another.
    as for replicating cffile action=upload in cfscript: just
    write a
    function that uses cffile tag to upload a file, and call that
    function
    from your cfscript!

  • HR Renewal: Client infotype with upload/download file functionality

    Hi Gurus,
    I am writing to you today cuz a client of mine asked me to adapt one of their client-specific infotype for HR Renewal. Now the old-legacy infotype was developed by someone else so I am just to adapt the functionality for decoupled infotype framework and front-end.
    The infotype has no subtype and record from 01.01.1800 to 31.12.9999 with a table-control listing all the pdf (or other format) file for a particular employee (such has income tax statement; SEPA bank account sheet; ID card etc... any kind of personal document relevant to employees). (that data is listed from a client Z table when opening the infotype; e.g. there is not sub-strucutrue in the pnnnn to  represent that information).
    upload, download and open file functionality is done via the infotype old-framework screen 2000 by some custom code merely replicated what is available by cl_gui_services.
    File are stored directly on the SAP system not using the GOS option;
    back-end stuff is more or less done and working at least I can do pretty much what I want in puit_ui tcode; read;modify... off course no file upload there
    front-end is another story; I have managed the FPM views for the infotype (dataset; biz card, etc) and also I have managed to list the existing file in the ATS list.
    However What I need still to do is to be able to upload from NWBC files to the back end system; and also download or open them. this seems to be a little harder than expected.
    I am now doubting if I should rather do a P&F FPM form based or if I can achieve what it is suppose to do? or maybe I should go back to the client and talk him through changing that infotype architecture? using subtype instead of a connection to a Z table and GOS services to store employee files seems way easier for me; but still I am facing the upload/download functional which I dont really no how to wrap around the FPM either it is ATS or GL2. I have checked indian-specific infotype 3743 has this uploading functionality (GOS) but no corresponding FPM I could inspire myself on!
    Also, not sure if I am missing something but when I try to change the value of one the field on the infotype pnnnn structure (that infty actually has one checkbox field) and save I end up with a dump because to BOL model does not find my entity (lo_entity). it s not the first infotype I am enabling for HR Renewal and I never had this error before.. I wonder what I am missing....
    Would you gurus oriente me a lil on how I should best proceed? should I rather use P&F? Your help and advise would greatly be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hello:
    So after some thinking through:
    - upload and download are handler by the FPM ATS feeder (client copy with enhanced options into to manage event method).
    - lo_entity without pointer causing dump occurred because I had inconsistently used the set automatic tag option into the FPM configuration floorplan editor.
    - PAOC_ASR_PERSONAL_FILE would be my recommendation but client want to follow on its own mini-dev for personal file hosting.
    Thank you gurus!

  • Layers to files: replace spaces with underscores

    How can I update the script to replace spaces with underscores on export? I assume I need to add a line somehwere between 183-195 but I don't know what it needs to be. Thanks in advance.

    Where did you get the Layers to files script. Photoshop versions ship with a "Export Layers To Files.jsx" CS6 lines 183-195 look like this I see nothing about filename
      var layerSetsCount = app.documents[docName].layerSets.length;
             if ((layerCount <= 1)&&(layerSetsCount <= 0)) {
                if ( DialogModes.NO != app.playbackDisplayDialogs ) {
                    alert( strAlertNeedMultipleLayers );
                            return 'cancel'; // quit, returning 'cancel' (dont localize) makes the actions palette not record our script
            } else {
                var rememberMaximize;
                var needMaximize = exportInfo.psdMaxComp ? QueryStateType.ALWAYS : QueryStateType.NEVER;
                if ( exportInfo.fileType == psdIndex && app.preferences.maximizeCompatibility != needMaximize ) {
                    rememberMaximize = app.preferences.maximizeCompatibility;
