Batch Automation Any way to automate duplicating all layers to new documents?

[darthsmozers]

I have a layer list of about 15 layers. I currently have to right-click, duplicate new, and type the name to duplicate each layer out to their own document. I have an action to automatically save the duplicated file to a specific folder and close it, but I'd like to roll it all into one or two steps.

For example:
Click and action that runs through the layer list, duplicating the first layer out, saving/closing it, then back to the 2nd layer, save/close, 3rd layer save/close, etc.

or

simply runs through the list duplicating out each layer to their own files, and then i can hit each one manually with the save/close action i already have.

Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

Thanks!

I wonder if you have tried:-
File - Scripts - Export Layers to Files...

THAT is cool!

I'll have to play with it to see if I can incorporate it into other actions to create what I'm looking for. Thanks!

How can I remove the "_0001" "_0002" etc that is placed in front of the output files?

 

[Paul MR]

You could comment out line 793
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4);
just put // in front.

Also, I need each layer to be converted to Bitmap (Image>Mode>Bitmap)before being saved off. I wonder if there's any way to implement this along with the Export Layers to Files script?

Wow, you're awesome! (I have very little programming experience...)

Add these two lines after line 791

 duppedDocumentTmp.changeMode(ChangeMode.GRAYSCALE);
duppedDocumentTmp.changeMode(ChangeMode.BITMAP,new BitmapConversionOptions);

Before Line 792

var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;

You might only be able to save as a psd though?

I added those two lines after 791. They become lines 792-793. When adding that last line of code you mentioned before line 792. Is that the old 792 or the new one?

 

[Paul MR]

Sorry I even confused myself the new two lines of code should be placed just before..
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix; (Line 792)

haha no problem. Thanks I'll give it a go. I'll probably be reporting back here with more questions on Monday. Thank you for all of your help!

OK I took out the grayscale, and left only the Bitmap. I want the bitmap to incorporate the Bitmap setting of 1200dpi output resolution, and Method = 50% Threshold. Any advice?

 

[Paul MR]

Replace those last two lines of code with this, please don't take out the grayscale bit as if the document isn't grayscale you can't go straight to Bitmap.

if(duppedDocumentTmp.mode != DocumentMode.GRAYSCALE){
	duppedDocumentTmp.changeMode(ChangeMode.GRAYSCALE);
}
var bitmapOptions = new BitmapConversionOptions;
bitmapOptions.resolution=1200;
bitmapOptions.method=BitmapConversionType.HALFTHRESHOLD;
duppedDocumentTmp.changeMode(ChangeMode.BITMAP,bitmapOptions);

 

[darthsmozers]

This now gives me exactly what I was looking for. All thanks to you. I think I'll learn a bit from this as well. Thank you!
