Batch export layers

[mgeduld]

Hi. I know there are various ways to export a Photoshop layer as a file. But is there a way to batch export all the layers so that each layer becomes a separate file (without manually doing it layer by layer).

Even better would be some sort of batch command that would allow you to export each layer COMPOSITED WITH THE BACKGROUND LAYER. That way, you could create an animation, using layers as onion skin and the background as your animation background.

You could then combine all these separate files into a movie in After Effects or an NLE program.

Thanks,

Marcus

Thanks Pierre! I know Javascript, so maybe I'll whip up a script. If I come up with anything useful, I'll post it here.
