Generate Image Asset TIF

I am wondering if there is an extention/plugin that can work in conjunction to work along side the generate image asset for tif files? This would be incredibly helpful. 

 

Or is there another way I can batch export each layor crop as tif files? 

Not sure if this would be done via plugin, action, or script.

any insights would be apperciated.

Do you wish to retain canvas transparency or crop/trim transparency?

 

Have you looked at the export layers to files script that ships with Photoshop?

 

There is also a Layer Saver and Layer Saver Plus script from Paul Riggott:

    Stephen,

    Thanks

    I was looking at it how "Generate Assets" works so the crop would export the cropped image as a tif.

     

    The current workflow I'm using is the background layer is what's actually being cropped and exported. Those shapes are just for making the selection > save copy > tif.

     

    I've tried making an action / scripts (I'm not well versed in scripts). I did take a look at that github, but looking at the general code, I'm unsure if it's what I'm looking to do.

    But If there is a way I could automate this process of croping and saving based on those shapes that would be amazing. The number of exports vary from project to project.

    Yes, I do want to trim/crop out the transparency. I'll give this script a go and see how it works. I'm trying to look through the documentation. when saving the TIF file can you set the compression (i.e None, LZW, etc)?


    I got an error with the script (below). I'm quite new to scripts...

    but judging by your tif files it didn't crop the white/transparency. I would need the files to be the exact size of the shape being clipped too.
