Bug in Photoshop export script: "LayersToPNG.jsx"

djtan42

I'm using "Photoshop-LayersToPNG.jsx". After I run the script (screenshot 1), it then keeps prompting me to "Save As" a Photoshop file for each of the layers (screenshot 2). Do you know why it won't just automatically save as PNGs for me? The file type dropdown menu doesn't have PNG as an option either.

I think that script hasn't been updated lately. Maybe a Photoshop CC update broke it. Let's wait and see who can fix it for CC.

Same problem here. Any news or fixes? Thank you

update: i use CC 2014 2.2 on Maveriks 10.9.5

update 2: i've tried on a friend's pc with windows 7 and CC 2014 .0 and it worked fine. It look's like a .2 problem

update 3: if i replace PNGSaveOptions() with JPEGSaveOptions() the script works fine (but of course i don't want to save jpeg images)

Hi guys,
I've just bought Spine 2D and encountered the same problem.
When i use the script i got Save As window opened and asked to save the image as Image-Copy.psd ...
I see that there is no response to this thread since 7 months.
Any idea how can i fix that ?
I am using Windows 10 and Photoshop CC 2014.0.0 - 20140508.r.58 x64
Please help - this is really frustrating.

Ok guys i've made a fix that seems to work for me. You can try it.
It is too late and i dont have much time to test it in different scenarios but the export seems to work fine.
The problem was that we need to use activeDocument.exportDocument(...), instead of activeDocument.SaveAs.

Just FYI, was struggling with this with our intern. Took some time, but I finally saw that the project had been converted to CMYK causing this same behavior. Make sure you're in RGB mode. 🙂

Thanks for sharing, Black Hive!
I never would've guessed document color mode would do that.
