In this lesson I demonstrate how to quickly save out separate files for specific layers in a document by using the Generator plugin. By simply changing the name of a layer and adding a file extension (such as .jpg) a new file will be generated and then you can add a percentage to scale the layer or a quality setting. This can be very useful when needing to break up a complex photoshop document into a multiple images such as when creating web graphics.TIP: In the lesson I mention adding a .jpg, .png or .gif file extension to the end of a layer name. I neglected to mention that you can also use .svg to produce a Scalable Vector Graphic which is only useful when you use vector-based features such as text or shape layers instead of layers that are pixel-based. When that's the case, the resulting image can be scaled infinitely without degrading color, which is great for things like a company logo.
NOTE: Some Windows users have reported issues accessing the video playback controls. While we're working on the issue, here's a Temporary Workaround: Click "Introduction" in the table of contents to the right of the video and then immediately click within the video to give it focus. After doing so, use the spacebar to play/pause the video and the left/right arrow keys to scrub forward or backward within the video.
I'm currently traveling interionally which prevents me from having the focus needed to tackle this issue while I'm away. We hope to have this issue resolved by the end of August or soon after. I will then focus on adding a Mark as Watched indivator and the ability to add private notes to a lesson. I had wanted to get these things done before my trip started, but recording enough lessons to cover the time I'd be away took longer than expected.
