Here is the scenario
a photoshop file with the top layer as a polaroid picture frame... the aim is then to load approximately 1500 portrait images using the "load to stacks" script so that the layers appear in the polaroid...
I reckon I can work that part out but here is my question... does anybody know of a script or a way of then outputting all of those layers out to separate files but including the polaroid layer aswell, basically comping the polaroid, portrait and making 1500 separate files.
once we have the 1500 polaroid psd files, I then have to export to approximately 8 different sizes of png files for various devices... again can work this part out.
If anybody has any ideas or suggestions they would be most appreciated.

Sound like something easy would be to have the polaroid layer on the top layer. Then once all the other layers are loaded, have the script select the topmost image layer (not the polaroid one), Make a duplicate of the file and use merge visible as an option, then scale and save the file to the file types you want. Turn the visibility off on the layer and select the next layer down and repeat.

Paul Riggott’s LayerSaver Script would have done it (edit: or rather some of it), I guess, but it seems to be offline.

It would be very easy to create a polaroid picture frame PSD template file and batch populate it with your image using my script.
If you want 8 sizes create 8 templates and run 8 batch jobs. If you use shapes for your frame. Image Size can be used to create you extra seven templates.
