Hello guys,
i have a question… i’ve been using photoshop for a while, (which means i was using only about 1% of its possibilities 🙂

and i would like to ask this:
Is there a way to save each layer in a seperate image?
without actually having to create all the images?

Thanx in advance

I doubt if you are ‘using Photoshop (only) for a while’ that you are using as much as ‘1% of its possibilities’. Reason for doubting it as because I doubt if any of the "’know how’s" are using as much as 40% on a regular basis. I even doubt whether anyone really knows the program from A to Z. Designers and diggers keep on finding new uses for existing facilities:-)

You can save each layer in a separate image as easy as ‘save as’. This is how images for tutorials are saved. Simply selecting the layer in the status you want to save it, and go ‘File/Save As’ and pick your choice.

Dave, you evince being one of the uninformed with your response below.

That is the hard way. Do it in one step as follows

FILE – SCRIPTS – EXPORT LAYERS TO FILES

For a moment, when I first saw the subject line, I thought that it said:

‘Saving Lawyers’

And I thought: ‘Why would anyone want to do that?’ 🙂

Oh shit,another newbie, but not admitting it like the OP did. I’d love to see you do what you said in one step (or even in less steps than my directions).

Follow the path: FILE – SCRIPTS – EXPORT LAYERS TO FILES

It is self-evident. It must suck to be you.

As several people have pointed out, File->Scripts->Export Layers To Files is a fast convenient way to do exactly what you want to do, assuming by "save each layer in a seperate image" you mean separate image file…

Lets say you have 15 layers and you want to save 8 of them. You make the 8 visable, run scripts/export layers to files, click on the visable box and hit the go button.
or….
click the first one…file/save as…blah blah blah////
click the second one …file/save as…blah blah blah//// click the "" one…file/save as…blah blah blah//// click the "" one…file/save as…blah blah blah//// click the "" one…file/save as…blah blah blah//// click the "" one…file/save as…blah blah blah//// click the "" one…file/save as…blah blah blah//// click the eigth one…file/save as…blah blah blah////

Yep your right, doing it one at a time is faster.

LOL… the fact that you can only afford to come on Internet once in two weeks, is in fact not serious, but rather general..
But reacting NOW, on news already 2 weeks old,
because you bought a bottle of brandy last week
and this week you drink in a Internet café,
is comical… do not overdose your credit card..

Would it really hurt your big, macho, ego to admit you were wrong?

Usenet seems too harsh a place for such a sensitive namby pamby like yourself. Perhaps you’d feel better if you fucked off to the AOL chat rooms you were aborted from?
