: Export layers to files sized according to content of layer Sorry for the confusing title. What I did was scan 3-4 photos at a time and then crop those photos into new layers per scan and

@Tiffany317

Have you tried for a workaround using Photoshop Actions. Don't forget to keep the backup of your PSD.

Turn off all the layers and give your canvas a little bigger size before creating the action.
1 - Create an Action
2 - Make visible one layer
3 - Trim the transparent pixels
5 - Save as Jpeg
6 - Delete the layer
7 - Give the canvas size some bigger dimension.
8 - STOP

The easiest way to do this is Slices. Although they're not intended exactly for this, they can do it.

Space out all your images, slice with the Slice tool accordingly, then Save For Web, pick a folder, and they'll all march right out as jpegs if you pick the right compression type.

The caveat is that your images will need to be spaced out. Any overlaps and the slicing won't work properly.
