Automating Photoshop with AI Scripting

Managing multiple layers in Photoshop can be a time-consuming process, especially when exporting files for web use. To streamline this workflow, I leveraged AI to help write a custom script for Photoshop. This script automatically appends ".PNG" to every layer name and prepares the file for efficient export. By integrating AI assistance, I simplified repetitive tasks, saving time and ensuring consistency across projects.

How It Works:

  1. Appends ".PNG": Checks if the layer name already ends with “.PNG” and appends it if not.

  2. Exports Visible Layers: Only processes layers that are visible.

  3. Creates a Temporary Document: Duplicates each layer into a new temporary document for exporting.

  4. Exports as PNG: Saves each layer as a separate PNG file in the selected folder using the Save for Web settings.

How to Use:

  1. Copy the script into a text editor and save it as ExportLayersAsPNG.jsx.

  2. Open Photoshop, go to File > Scripts > Browse..., and select the script.

  3. Choose an output folder when prompted, and the script will process each layer in the document.
