Any way to print all the layers in a PSD file?

Feb 2, 2004

Layers are on top of one another and when you print a file, it prints "looking down from the top", including whatever is "visible".

If each layer contains a separate, printable image, it should not be a series of layers, but separate PSD files.

I believe that someone had an action which pulled apart a file, making a new one for each layer. Maybe they’ll chime in.

Thanks,
Having a single psd file is much easier to manage than a series of them that was the reason for that. I just thought there was an easy batch way of printing layers out.

Thanks

Fair enough, but just so you’re aware that what you are doing is "non-standard".

As I said, there may be an action available out there. Otherwise, I guess it wouldn’t be too hard …

If you’re using Photoshop CS, use the Export Layers to Files script (File | Scripts).

Thanks, i’ll have to upgrade to CS one of these days.

I thought it’d at least be an addition to Image Ready as this would be more of a web feature as its quite common to use a layered file with various flattened mockups and screenshots.

Thanks

Here’s a JavaScript that will print all layers except the background. See the "readme.txt" file inside the zip file for
instructions on how to use. For Photoshop 7 and Photoshop CS. Should work on both PC and Mac.
