Naming layers the same as the file name you are copying from

Jadelion · 09-21-2006, 12:38 AM

I know that title sounds confusing, but i was wondering if there is anyway to automatically name a layer the same as a separate file. For example i am creating a layered Photoshop file that contains a bunch of photos and i want each of the layers to be named the same as the separate photo files i am copying them from - make sense?

Anyway, just wondering if this can be done without having to manually type or paste in the file name.

Hi Jadelion.

If it's possible then it's probably by using a Photoshop script. I don't have experience with Photoshop scripting, but I do know a place where they can help you: http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/

Topics cover anything to do with Photoshop outside of those forums below.
