@Stephen Marsh oh good to know, thanks! A note: this only works when the folders of interest are pasted into a blank file. Otherwise is starts pulling the wrong layers and I didn't have time to fix that error, because it's a workaround I can live with, and this already took forever. But if anyone wants to improve it, feel free... It took a lot of tweaking but this script maintains relative layer order. function main() {
if (app.documents.length === 0) {
alert("No document open!");
return;
}
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var allLayerSets = getAllLayerSets(docRef);
var selectedLayerSets = getSelectedLayerSets(allLayerSets);
if (selectedLayerSets.length === 0) {
alert("No folders selected!");
return;
}
var maxLayers = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < selectedLayerSets.length; i++) {
var layerSet = selectedLayerSets[i];
var layerCount = getLayerCount(layerSet);
if (layerCount > maxLayers) {
maxLayers = layerCount;
}
}
var newFolders = [];
for (var j = 0; j < maxLayers; j++) {
var newFolder = docRef.layerSets.add();
newFolder.name = "New Folder " + (j + 1);
newFolders.push(newFolder);
}
var layerSets = selectedLayerSets.slice(); // Create a copy to preserve original order
// Iterate over new folders and process layers from the bottom of the old folders
for (var k = 0; k < newFolders.length; k++) {
var targetFolder = newFolders[k];
for (var l = 0; l < layerSets.length; l++) {
var folder = layerSets[l];
var layers = getLayerChildren(folder);
if (layers.length > 0) {
var layer = layers.pop(); // Get the bottom-most layer and remove it
try {
layer.move(targetFolder, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
} catch (e) {
alert("Error moving layer: " + e.message);
return;
}
if (layers.length === 0) {
layerSets.splice(l, 1); // Remove folder if it is empty
l--; // Adjust index after removal
}
}
}
}
// Delete empty original folders
for (var m = 0; m < selectedLayerSets.length; m++) {
var folderToDelete = selectedLayerSets[m];
if (getLayerCount(folderToDelete) === 0) {
try {
folderToDelete.remove();
} catch (e) {
alert("Error deleting folder: " + e.message);
return;
}
}
}
alert("Script completed successfully with layers in the correct order!");
}
function getAllLayerSets(docRef) {
var layerSets = [];
function recurseLayers(layers) {
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
var layer = layers[i];
if (layer.typename === "LayerSet") {

Okay, I used ChatGPT and made a script that can do this. I would attach and share it here but the forum doesn't accept the jsx file extension. Basically it takes all the folders and rearranges them from A, B, C A, B, C A, B, C to A, A, A B, B, B C, C, C It took me about six hours of walking chatgpt through the constant errors, and the script takes 10 minutes to execute, so a lot of the time I was just waiting but, I did manage.

Gotcha. I've been googling scripts and that definitely sounds useful. I guess it'd be cool to have a "folder re-sort" script. - Determine how many folders are selected - Scan all folders and find folder with most layers - Create new folders above, # of folders corresponding to # of children in the original folders - For each folder, grab child at 0, move all to new folder 1++ - Repeat until no children are left It wouldn't be too bad.. a few i loops. I could code this in actionscript or php. If Photoshop uses javascript, that actually shouldn't be too different... Maybe I can do it.. Hm maybe chatgpt can do it...

I'm not sure? I double click a layer to open the Blend Modes, oh sorry, LAYER STYLE, not blend mode. That's what I get for winging it from memory lol. A "color overlay" "Layer Style" Basically, I have ~10 layers in a folder, and I need to make 50 duplicates of this folder, each with the same layers in different colors. 50 colors.

I guess what would help, and I'm not sure if this is possible, but a sciprt or action or whatever, that can do this: - Duplicate a folder - Apply a Color Overlay blend mode, layer style, of color X to every layer - Rasterize the color overlay on every layer But the catch is that I could edit the color with every round... oh wait, I think I can do that in the actions panel by tweaking the parameters in the saved actions... Oh but if I have 10 layers, I would need to edit it in 10 places every time. That doesn't actually save time. Yeah, I need something that can accept a variable...

Yes, action. Sorry, I thought script was just referring to the programming of actions. I didn't realize there's a separate script in photoshop. Here is a simplified file.

I'll try to put it a different way. Right now the folders are arranged like: Folder 1 - layers A, B, C, D, E, F Folder 2 - layers A, B, C, D, E, F Folder 3 - layers A, B, C, D, E, F And I want to re-arrange them like this: Folder 1 - A, A, A Folder 2 - B, B, B Folder 3 - C, C, C Folder 4 - D, D, D, etc. To make a script, as far as I understand, all folders and layers would need to be visible and open. So then I'd be manually moving one layer across hundreds of other layers, hundreds of times. Theoretically possible but... mind-bogglingly cumbersome. Is it possible to insert a layer into a folder that's not open? That could help make it more feasible but I don't think there's a way to do this in a way that can be captured by a script...

Hi, I have layers organized by shape, each in 50 colors. But I need to re-arrange them by color instead. So right now I'm dragging layers by hand. There's 9 shapes and 50 colors, so that's 450 layers. And then I'll have to repeat this whole process another 10-20 or so times. I would record a script but I'm not even sure how I would go about that. Flash has some cool "distribute to layers" type functions that come to mind but I don't think there's anything like that in Photoshop. Does anyone know if there's a faster way to do this kind of re-arranging? eg. the #000000 folder has 50 layers inside. Each one needs to go into a different folder above, ditto for the other folders below.

Thanks, this worked for me in 2024! File name was as you said. This cloud pop up drives me insane. I don't even hate the cloud.. I just don't want extra needless clicks 10 times a day.

I just finished making an Action with 100s of actions when I realized it's not registering the duplication of folders. I ran some tests, and when I RIGHT click on the layers and select Duplicate Layers from the pop up, it DOES register in the actions. However, when I use Ctrl + J to do the same thing with the shortcut, it does NOT register in the Actions. ----------- Addendum: Not sure if related but, a few months ago, suddenly all my Actions disappeared which was quite devastating. I thought it was an update, but I checked and apparently I do have automatic updates turned off, so I'm not sure what happened.

This was my post and it was MEANT as a feature request. I guess I just did it wrong. Here is a submitted Idea: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-ideas/quot-color-to-alpha-quot-button/idi-p/14570061#M21451

A feature request for Photoshop to catch up with the rest of the world and add a "color to alpha" toggle like GIMP and Krita have. A menu would pop up where you can select a hex code (similar to Replace a Color). Wherever this color is found would become transparent, and where it's partially found, it would become partially transparent. Maybe a fuzziness toggle. See extensive discussion about this here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-needs-quot-color-to-alpha-quot-button/m-p/14569277

Whoooa, what? I didnt know this tool existed! This is exactly what I needed! This is SO much easier than fiddling with channels and layer masks. Thank you!

I was just chatting with a group of other artists about the need to convert a color into transparency sometimes, and we've all needed such a function, then somebody said that in GIMP there's just a simple button for it, "Color to Alpha." It does exactly what we need and very easily. In Photshop this is possible but very cumbersome, having to use the channels to make a selection, then apply a mask. Googling leads to 10 year old articles and people recommending plugins. But yeah, I'd just like to suggest this as an official feature request. You know how in Photoshop you can use Replace Color? And you can pick a color, and vary the fuzziness of the selection, then change the color to something else? It would be just like that I imagine, but instead of changing the color, you increase the opacity of those pixels.

Yeah, you're right.. it could be automated. I already have a "flatten folder, move up" action. This wouldn't be too different. But even that action takes about 1-2 seconds per layer for me. Although flattening a whole folder would take longer than just two layers. My other hack that I posted below may or may not be faster just because dragging a (bogus) layer effect is quite quick, and then rasterizing ~20 layers at a time is quick too. But I'll try out both, thank you for the idea! This might turn out to be faster. Cheers!

UPDATE: in case this helps anyone else, the quickest hack I've found so far is to apply some bogus layer effect (ie. color overlay at 0%), then hold down the Alt key and drag/apply it to all the transparent layers. Then it's possible to right-click -> rasterize. This is quicker than creating new layers and flattening.

For the "Opacity" layer setting to go from X% (eg. 85%) to 100%, and for the transparency to be permanently applied to the pixels on that layer. For example, if the transparency was 50%, and you'd rasterize, the opacity setting would reset back to 100%, and all the pixels on the layer would be permanently transparent. This already happens if there's a transparency set AND a blend mode set at the same time, and you rasterize. I have no idea why they wouldn't have the same thing happen when it's just the transparency that's set.

So I guess what I'm saying is, I'm requesting that when you right-click a layer and select "Rasterize", it also includes layers with only transparency applied...

So.. I tried this... and I had to step away from the computer because it took a while.. 15 minutes or more. Finally I get access again and.. believe it or not, this did NOT rasterize the transparency. All my "85%" transparency layers are still 85% transparency O_O

Yeah, I guess that saves having to re-paste the layer name. But making and flattening hundreds of layers just to rasterize transparency is just.. there just has to be a better way..

For most effects you can just right-click the layer and "Rasterize". But you can't do this if the only effect is layer transparency. Let's say you have hundreds of layers, each with a different transparency, and you want to rasterize each one individually this so the pixels are just transparent, and it's not a layer setting. Is there a faster or better way than making one hundred more new layers, placing each under the old layer, flattening, then re-pasting the layer name? Surely there must be a better way...

I tried changing the scaling of Windows but it's the same with each setting. So I'm thinking it must be Animate's scaling. I'm playing around with the settings but I am not able to explicitly disable the "high dpi" settings... If there's no fix, any ideas about hacks to get around this? For some reason, I'm also not able to add or delete new stroke profiles.. any idea why?

Any idea on how to do this in 2020? I don't have that setting in my properties.. Only a bunch of options to override things but nothing to disable.. very frustrating..
