[@WintonWilmot]

Just save my life..... everyday I learn something new.

[@Sharpknifecollector]

This is the best tutorial I have seen in a long time. You stayed on topic identified shortcut and hot keys both visually and verbally and your advertisement was placed at the end for subscriptions. It is very rare that I have nothing to criticize.

[@sarahwatson1825]

Thank you! Exactly was I was looking for. I am new to Photoshop and you made it simple to understand.

[@OhMyDaysYaz]

Thank you so much. I just graduated from university in graphic design. Got my first job as a JG. I work with the sales team and i have to work with multiple products of the same color. This was extremely useful and saved me so much time. Thank you so much!

Great video. I struggled with the preceding serial numbers in the old way. Thanks to you, I now know how to avoid them in the CC version. 😊😊 Thanks.

[@nickleibold8025]

How do you prevent the serial numbers in between the file name and layer name? Or is that automatic when using the script method?

[@binyameena1822]

I love the way you make videos!

hey thanks! quick export did the trick for me

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Kuroki!

[@Video2Webb]

Not sure if you are aware of this but I just clicked the link provided above to subscribe to your newsletter and the link took me to a page that assumes I am someone already registered and have a password. Otherwise this is a very handy tutorial as I am playing around with ideas for photomontages (two or more images composited) and being able to capture a specific look as I experiment is very helpful. Definitely feeds into the creative process...Thank you!

[@paulbarlow5187]

Thank You!

[@lishanwijesekara9340]

can you explain export settings -for web -for printing (DPI/PPI optimal settings)

[@ImPtchy]

Hi, I have question, I have bulk png's to be exported, but the canvas size will change dramatically, Please help how to maintain the canvas size when exporting the png file?

[@federicolucianocrypto]

hey, I've got a little question: let's say I chose the 3rd option of exporting (right-click on layers and then 'export as') but I want to keep my layers NOT TRIMMED. How?! I need the exported images to be as the same dimension as the canvas. Thanks in advance!!!!!

[@nicross5000]

Thanks! How to apply one luminosity layer to all images that we export, please?

[@praveenmali6673]

super sir

[@Vyz3r]

Can you save a layer as a separate file and still retains all the editable things made (like the fx) so it can still be edited if opened? Or are you just limited to just saving it as project?

[@MrCJBG]

You can select multiple files in the Export As Menu Box and change the parameters of the export settings for multiple files at once! You also don't have to select layers to export as, you can select Artboards as well.

[@joseph-the-seventh]

Can you "trim layers" with JPEG format? I'm only seeing that option with PNG.

[@jonmiller9408]

Hi Jesus, this is great however can you just add these exported files to a new file and if you have a batch of images to process how would you handle that? I hope this is clear, so in summary I would like to apply all the settings from 1 file to multiple file in PS. Also if I was to re-import this back into Lightroom would I get all the settings and crops to appear on the files in the LR catalog of selected images? Thanks

[@deep7804]

can this metyod export color adjustments like photo filter and color balance etc?

[@ryanpoa]

Love it! But there is another way too... FILE > GENERATE > IMAGE ASSETS (Suggestion for next video) ;)

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You must have missed it! 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp21YoCgjbJ2n7c But to be fair, this video needs an update.

[@ryanpoa]

Oh! I searched for "assets" and then "export", I did not find anything relevant in the search .. I really missed this video. An update will be very welcome! :D Thank you!

[@ikyu7222]

Really wish they'd include TIF as one of the export as options. Great video though, thanks!

[@christopherstickle9559]

Use bridge

[@OmarWaleed]

Thanks, but how do you appear SVG format on your panel? I don't have

[@naritcom]

I noticed that in the first way you also had the option to save as .tif but this option was not available in the newer methods Either way this is a cool tip.

[@user-xv7eb5ct9f]

how do you export layers to file while retaining adjustment layer attributes? I used an adjustment layer to brighten up several images and wanted to export them with at once. it exported but did not keep the brightness

[@XavierMadrigal]

Tengo varios grupos de capas, y quiero expotar cada grupo como una archivo jpg como lo hago?, I have several layers groups, and I want to expose each group as a jpg file as I do it?

[@prasetya1869]

thank you so munch, I almost broke my finger cuz 600 layers

[@bommaritohawaii]

how to export each layer onto a background color??

[@vane8062]

Hi guys I used the 3rd method .. the jpg is always saved at 96 dpi instead of 300 ..

[@Latvijasfans]

Hi, thanks for tutorial. I have different problem - I have t-shirts in 7 colors and one logo to put all of them in the same place. How can I export all these t shirts as layers with logo with few clicks?

[@Latvijasfans]

[@Archprasanth]

What is mean by interlaced ??

[@binyameena1822]

i would like to know how?

[@lobos009]

Hi I have several layers with different graphics that I want to bulk save but I want each individual layer (graphic) to save on top of my background layer. Is it possible to bulk save like this? Ex. I have 50 layers. Each layer has a different image. In the same Photoshop file I have a background layer, so in total I have 51 layers. What I want to do is save all the image layers individually but I want them all to save on top of the background layer. Hope that makes sense and any help will be appreciated.

[@SergioLopez-dy4yt]

Hey! Did you find the answer to this? I have the same issue :/

[@AArmstrongC]

Files > Export > Layers to Files

[@kacperkepinski4990]

i have some mistake that i have no rightsm that file is blocked any suggestions?

[@aacsrajbanshi3724]

Nice🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@amirsaid8310]

[@sjb103052]

Interesting tut Jesus but I'm not sure why I'd want to export layers separately. Admittedly I'm not a graphic designer but I'd be interested in knowing why this is a useful feature.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Steven, a typical use case would be the design of a website, or motion graphics video in Photoshop. Then you take the individual assets (a button, logo, text, etc.) to another app to work with them individually.

[@Sharpknifecollector]

There are a few reasons to export layers to files. One would be so you can use specific styles and/or filters on other projects which were applied onto the existing layer. Separating the layer into it's own folder will make it easier to extract elements from past projects and placing them into newer ones. This especially helps if the naming conventions are very descriptive. Many graphic designers have a scrap file they keep on there desktop or home screen. All elements which have been used before are ready for quick access. Large icons with thumbnail settings are usually found here. Many graphic designers use this folder as an inspirational folder. They are stuck on a project they don't know how to begin. Scrolling through older elements more likely than not usually is sufficient enough to inspire.

[@vickikgibson9470]

It makes it much easier to show someone a layer, photo changes, text changes etc to someone who is not near you, or has photoshop, this way, I can send it, and they can see the work and say yes or no to the work...etc. It comes in very handy as photoshop is VERY expensive and not everyone has the program.

[@Joseasv99]

I'm using the export layers as files option now because i need to crop a large amount of photos inside a psd filebut i dont want to save each one to jpeg separately

[@Maya_Momo]

I do my art in Photoshop, but i create animations in video games, so its really necessary to separate different pieces of a rigable character in layers in Photoshop, exporting all of them at once is much easier than exporting each individual layer :)

[@bruce11lee]

hIi

[@del_84]

Why is there no option to not have a prefix, just to have the filename as the layer name. So annoying.

[@anas.g]

Well well well, look who's the idiot that learned a new method that has been always there? Me

[@prasanthp9395]

The only Jesus I believe 😍

[@zarsblackhorse123]

Thank you.
