Export Layers to Files w/ Save-for-Web Option

Back in CS2, ImageReady provided support for exporting layers to files, but in a save-for-web style compression.  Since ImageReady has been discontinued, the only option available has been to use the current script in photoshop.

We've done several quality tests on exported images from both programs, and since all of our work is done for web, keeping file sizes to a minimum and utilizing the SFW compression is a must.

Can anyone instruct me how to add this functionality to the current export layers to files script?

I modified the Export Layers to Files script to use saveForWeb when saving jpeg files. You can find it at http://ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3650

Hi Michael,

Your script does not seem to work. I get this error box when I try to run it in CS3.

Error 19: Bad argument appDialogBackground.

Line 242

-> var brush = digMain.graphics.newBrush

(digMain.grpahics.BrushType.THEME_COLOR,

"appDialogBackground");
