Variables - Export Data Sets as Files

[idjev]

I think the file extension should not be limited to just .pds and .tif, .jpeg, .png, .pdf... should be added among the options. These options will not only save time for the user, but will also make business life a little easier. I think this feature can be added to Photoshop. It will add some more value to Photoshop.... thanks

You are creating layered files, which require TIFF, PSD, or PSB to save those layers. JPEG, PNG, etc do not support layers.

@Lumigraphics - I agree that some individual files might need adjusting, however for those people who simply require direct flattened file output such as JPEG, this would seem to be a valid request.

The late Michael Hale wrote a script to directly save data sets to JPEG. Surely the native feature loops over the data sets on the fly to create the output files, just as in the scripted alternative below:

Forcing users to indirectly output and convert layered PSD files to JPEG or other formats via Batch or Image Processor or other scripts is less than ideal.
