How do we save all variations?

[turner111]

I can't figure out how to save all generated examples.... so I have 3 nice looking flowers, but... how do I save all 3 flowers to layers?

2nd question: Why are the topics listed below so daft?

I had to look this one up yesterday, CP!

"Updoot is a humorous internet slang for an upvote (or a “like”), which is a favorable rating a user gives to an online post or website."

@siliconmana as you mentioned there isnt a good solution yet to save all variations in the project. A good proposal would be something similar to what @turner111 posted which would be a "convert to layers" option but keep your original generated layer to preserve the AI results for future modification.

The scripts mentioned on page 1 do just that:

A related topic with a couple of scripted solutions to automate saving all generative variations from all generative smart object layers.

A related script to cycle through generative variations from a keyboard shortcut rather than using the properties panel:

Just to clarify.
You can save the options in a generated layer by right clicking on the layer and choosing 'convert to layers' from the drop down menu.
This produces a group with all the images inside.

If these are full image genertions the mask is disabled, partial screen generations retain the mask.

Seriously,  it should be easier!

[An Alarch]

You can click on a single generated image and use Ctrl +J to copy it as a layer.
So if you've got a small number of generations - say the standard 3 - you can click on each one and use Ctrl + J three times.  You get single layers - not a group.
This will obviously get tedious if you have a large number of generations.
But if you have a large number and only want to save a few then this method might be easier.

What are you actually talking about? 

Please post meaningful screenshots to illustrate. 

[An Alarch]

We're discussiong the different variations you get with generative fill and how to save them.  It's part of an ongoing thread.

Again: 

What are you actually talking about? 

Please post meaningful screenshots to illustrate. 

The variations should get saved anyway, so what role does having them present as separate Layers instead of accessible via the Properties Panel play in your workflow etc.?
