Found an amazing Photoshop script (Export Layers)

Just found this amazing script for Photoshop. It's called Photoshop-Export-Layers-to-Files-Fast. The github repo explains:
This script allows you to export layers in your Photoshop document as individual files at a speed much faster than the built-in script from Adobe.


I have a custom order of over 90 head signs for IMVU. The customer provided me with over 90 images they wanted to be turned into head signs. This plugin saved me so much time. Once I had dragged all of the images into the document as layers and scaled them all appropriately to the base product's texture map, this plugin allowed me to save them all as individual PNGs with a background color! The built in export as layers feature doesn't support setting background color. This saved me from having to save each layer individually with a visible background layer. Took about 3 seconds for 40 layers, a huge time saver!

Github Repo: https://github.com/antipalindrome/Photo ... Files-Fast

Simply download both files
Export Layers To Files (Fast).jsx
and
Export Layers To Files (Fast)-progress_bar.json
to the same location (such as your desktop) and tell Windows to open the .jsx file with Photoshop.

Always had a problem with the way photoshop exports in terms of speed I tried this script with a few documents of mine with a lot of memory and I must say I'm quite impressed.

Yeah, this script saves me a lot of time completing a custom order. Having to export hundreds of layers to files while keeping a background layer active is very time consuming if you do it manually.

I have to try this, I've never used scripts before, and I'm in photoshop all the time lol. If this is useful for me I'll be finding more of this type of thing lol.

I only used them a handful of times but they are extremely useful when I have, hope you find this one as useful as I did.
