Progressive saving

[marv9n]

Hey, thanks for the great script! I'm looking for to tweak this slightly so that it can save out 'progressive' layers. So turning on one layer at a time from the bottom to show the final full composition.

Is this something that can be done? Would appreciate any help, thanks!

Of course this is something that can be done. Currently in our script we hide all of our layers using a for loop, then we iterate over them one by one and make them visible, save them, then make them invisible again. If you took out the "make them invisible" again then what you'd end up with is a script like you describe.

I believe that currently layers are being saved from the top down, not bottom up. This is an easy change too if you'd like, where you just want to change the for loop so that instead of going from 0 to layer count, it goes from layer count to 0.

Thanks for your reply. After some hacking and slashing I got this working. I also ended up disabling the skip adjustment layers in conjunction with this. We want to create a sequence of images which showcase the result of artistic PS files. Thanks for the help.

If you need some finer grained control, you can achieve the same with the default "Layer Comps To Files" script. You'd have to create the Layer Comps first, which is a bit more clicking, but it's still faster than exporting states one by one. And writing a script that would make progressive Layer Comps automatically would be much simpler.
