Create a "save to new rasterized layer" option

With the new Generative AI it would be great to have a quick way to send a generated image to a new layer that isn't a literal duplicate, since duplicating the layer creates a duplicate of all the image generations as well. 

So basically a way to make a new "normal" layer from a generated image, while preserving the generative layer to continue additional processing ideas. (I do know it's possible to click through the old generated options, but as soon as you want to keep more than one, it's duplicate, rasterize, duplicate, rasterize, etc.)

Further to the post from @randys007 – another option is to copy the Generative Smart Object to a new layer and then rasterize the layer. Easy enough to put into a 2-step action or script for easy keyboard shortcut access. This is only for the active variation.

 

If you want all variations, just copy/dupe the Generative Smart Object to a new layer and then use Layer > Smart Objects > Convert to Layers.

 

A related topic, this thread has a script to save all variations to PNG:

I see it's been almost a year since you posted this and not sure if you figured this out. Came here with the same question, then it dawned on me that you can use the command-option-shift-E (Control-alt-shift-E on PC) to copy merged to a new layer. You just have to turnoff your foreground or whatever else you don't want on that layer. Then do the same for each image generation. Not ideal. Would be nice it were a menu item on the GenAI menu, though. Hope it helps
