Saving transparent tiffs when using Export layers to files?

[rob5FBF]

Hi,

I was hoping someone could tell me if there was a way of doing what I've mentioned in the title. I've just found the Export Layers to Files feature and it could save me a lot of time in my workload but I've done a test and when running the process it saves all of the tiffs with a white background even though the layers themselves had transparency. Is there any way around this?

Make a backup of the original "Export Layers to Files.jsx" script in your Photoshop's ...Presets/Scripts folder.

You can comment out // or delete the following line:

I have not given this edit exhaustive testing (content that extends off the canvas etc).

Thanks for the tip. I've tried this and it doesn't seem to have made a difference, it's still adding a white background to the images unfortunately.

It worked for me... Did you restart Photoshop after editing the script?

Alternatives to the Adobe script include:

Hi,

To reply to your other reply, I'd restarted photoshop and still no luck. However Layer Saver has worked for me! Thanks a lot for helping, it'll come in really handy for me.
