: Is there a faster way to save all layers in PSD to PNG? I'm trying to export all 155 raster layers, each 240*240 in pixels, to separate png files, but it takes ages to do that using CS5

@Reiling762

Just in case anyone gets to this question through Google or wherever, I wanted to let you know that if the built in solution is too slow, I wrote my own script to export layers to either JPGs or PNGs that it much faster than the built-in script.

That answer can be found here.

The script can be found here.

But basically it does a minimal amount of work to export layers, rather than the long and complex process Photoshop takes, therefore being much faster.

MacGyver Solution:

Make a copy/backup from file Export Layers to Files.jsx, available on your Photoshop CS6 instalation folder (C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6PresetsScripts).

Edit the file (using notepad or whatever...) and comment/change line 940 (or use the find text tool):

obj.artLayers[i].remove();


to:

//obj.artLayers[i].remove();


Save file and use it on Photoshop. File > Scripts > Open File/Load script
This worked great for me. Much faster.

You can try MacRabbit's Slicy App if you are working on OS X. It's really easy to use for slicing process for web development.

I dont think so that there is any easy and fast way of doing so ,as alan said try that animation ,render video thing,

i would suggest you to use scripts only because they are easy to work on instead of other methods.

if you need some sort of script see this:


Saving your layers as separate documents example in site
Export Layers to Files (Fast PNG version)




there are some similar question on this site already asked please take a look :


Export photoshop layers to individual PNG files - batch process???
Export Layers to Files exports only 4 png files from 100 layers

In the animation panel flyout menu, choose "Make frames from layers."

File > Export > Render Video. Choose a folder for the export and select "Image Sequence" and "PNG".
