I want to export a group as one PNG file. I have attached a screenshot below. I want to export the "Tropical Storm Icon" paths as one PNG, but I can't seem to figure out how to do so. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    If you do not have creative cloud your only way of doing it is basically isolating the group as a new file and export it : Save for the web which is now Save for the web legacy.

    One of the reasons designers were so excited about the new export panel is also that now you can just export a selection!

    I get it that you have only CS5. Is it time to upgrade? So many great new features since CS6 on the cloud...

    hide everything except the objects you want then File > Export and choose PNG for 'Save as type'

    You can hide objects by clicking their eye icon in the layers panel. Another way is to hide non selected objects with a shortcut. Select the objects you want Then assuming you are on a PC, on your keyboard hold down Ctrl, Shift, and Alt keys and then press 3.

    You can select objects (groups, paths, etc) in the Layers panel by clicking the little circle next to their names. Hold Ctrl key on your keyboard for selecting multiple objects.
