Question

Artboard from LayerSet - Photoshop

Hello,

 

Is there a way to convert a layerSet to an Artboard in jsx? (As you can do it in the layer's menu)

(The final script would be more complicated but i'd like to build it step-by step and avoid to explain too much for now)

 

Thanks a lot,

Bernard

Equivalent menu command

 

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("artboardFromLayerGroupEvent"));

    Thanks r-bin,

    it is possible to do it with multiple layerSets in order to convert each one into artboard?

     

    Ideally i'd like to make a more complex script...

    My purpose is to :

    - duplicate my layerSets

    - convert them to artboard (transparent background) and keep their names and dimensions (layerSets are in an global Artboard at start)

    - export those artboards to png (like in the right click layer menu > quick export to PNG)

     

    I think i can search the pshop javascript ref and scripting guide in order to find out but if you can help with few scripts it would be nice.

     

    Thank you,

    Bernard

    A bit late, I just stumbled over this topic while looking for info on layer sets and artboards...

     

    Rather than converting layer sets to artboards to export to files, why not directly export the layer sets to files?
