: Photoshop batch/mass save for web This is a variation on a number of previous questions, but I seem to have a unique situation. I have a photoshop file. It has many layer groups, each forming

@Nimeshi706

How can I easily assembly a sprite sheet? has a script sample which (in part) deals with iterating through layers and toggling visibility.

And How to automate exporting multiple PNGs with different sizes from Photoshop? has a link in "Justin Putney"'s answer which contains the following snippet that handles an array of sizes, defines a filename, and "save for web":

// Save icons in PNG using Save for Web.
var sfw = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
sfw.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
sfw.PNG8 = false; // use PNG-24
sfw.transparency = true;
doc.info = null; // delete metadata
var icons = [
{"name": "iTunesArtwork@2x", "size":1024},
{"name": "iTunesArtwork", "size":512},
{"name": "Icon", "size":57},
{"name": "Icon@2x", "size":114},
{"name": "Icon-72", "size":72},
{"name": "Icon-72@2x", "size":144},
{"name": "Icon-Small", "size":29},
{"name": "Icon-Small@2x", "size":58},
{"name": "Icon-Small-50", "size":50},
{"name": "Icon-Small-50@2x", "size":100}
];
var icon;
for (i = 0; i < icons.length; i++)
{
icon = icons[i];
doc.resizeImage(icon.size, icon.size, // width, height
null, ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER);
var destFileName = icon.name + ".png";
if ((icon.name == "iTunesArtwork@2x") || (icon.name == "iTunesArtwork"))
{
// iTunesArtwork files don't have an extension
destFileName = icon.name;
}
doc.exportDocument(new File(destFolder + "/" + destFileName), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfw);
doc.activeHistoryState = startState; // undo resize
}


If all of the above is too much, I will note that a "save for web" recorded action will store the folder destination, but will use the current filename for the export when batching.

If you set up a set of temporary bins that match the hardcoded "save for web" folders recorded in an action: "resize, save-for-web, resize save-for-web, resize, save-for-web, [...], revert, close" and run the action on a whole folder of images, you will wind up with a collection of folders, one for each size.

You can then use OS batch files or any other programming/scripting to manipulate the filenames and move them to their final folder destination.
