Batch Export folders as merged layers/with folder name as png?

Explorer ,
Jun 28, 2023 Jun 28, 2023

Hello all,

 

I have a PSB that has 150 folders. Tucked in each folder, there is a template (text, two photos). I had to create 150 of the same graphic, with different names and photos in each.  I need to export each folder separatly keeping the folder name as a png. I know how to export layers to files, but I'm trying to trat each folder as a layer and export the same way. I'm trying to minimaize the headache of "save As" for each of the 150 folders. Can this be done, or do i have to turn each folder into a smart object to do this? I also need the entire artboard exported, not just the image boundaries.

 

Thanks, Todd

Please explain the actual process with meaningful screenshots that illustrate both the Layer- and file-structure. 

 

What, for example, is »I need to export each folder separatly keeping the folder name as a png.« supposed to mean? 

Do you mean »Group« instead of »Folder«?

My aplogies, I'm working with several programs right now. Yes..."Group".

I marked off the Group names as this is for a live broadcast next week and I'm under an NDA.

 

I'm trying to export each Group as a single png via a batch. There are 150 Groups, and it would monotonous. I need the entire artboard as well. The mask and background(red) won't be part of each group as I need the transparency. I would also like  the Groups name to stay the same for each the final png

while you have all layers selected go to image, and resie canvas and image to the correct sizes before exporting layers. should all come out the same.

Thank you Sephen,

 

Unfortunately, it wants to crop each group down to the largest graphic in the group, as opposed to leaving it the size of the artboard. I want each graphic 1920x1080, the size of the artboard. Since there are different names in each group, it crops the layer down. I nneed each graphic to be exactly the same size.
