: How to record an action to center the content of a layer? For example, there are 2 layers: an iPhone mockup an app icon upper left of the mockup screen When I want to export the app icon

For example, there are 2 layers:


an iPhone mockup
an app icon upper left of the mockup screen


When I want to export the app icon as a .png file, now I:


copy the icon layer to a new PSD
use the mouse to drag the icon to center
change canvas to 57 x 57
further arrange the icon position
export


Is there a way to quickly clone a layer and center it?

Your action should:


Turn off all other layers (Alt/Opt-click on the layer eyeball)
Select All (Cmd/Ctl-A)
Copy Merged (Cmd/Ctl-Shift-C)
Turn other layers back on (Alt/Opt-click again)
Create a new document
Paste
Select All
Center Vertically and Center Horizontally (use the icons in the control bar)
Canvas Size to 54x54 absolute
Deselect


This will then work for any layer you have targeted in the Layers Panel.
