Generate Files from Layers

In this lesson I demonstrate how to quickly save out separate files for specific layers in a document by using the Generator plugin. By simply changing the name of a layer and adding a file extension (such as .jpg) a new file will be generated and then you can add a percentage to scale the layer or a quality setting. This can be very useful when needing to break up a complex photoshop document into a multiple images such as when creating web graphics.TIP: In the lesson I mention adding a .jpg, .png or .gif file extension to the end of a layer name. I neglected to mention that you can also use .svg to produce a Scalable Vector Graphic which is only useful when you use vector-based features such as text or shape layers instead of layers that are pixel-based. When that's the case, the resulting image can be scaled infinitely without degrading color, which is great for things like a company logo.
