Saving assets with Adobe Generator
When you're preparing files for a website, often you need to create separate image
files for buttons and other content. With Adobe Generator, you can easily gener-
ate a JPEG, PNG, or GIF image from the contents of a layer or layer group in a
Photoshop file—simply by renaming the layer or layer group. You can append the
appropriate file extension to save an image with default settings, but you can also
specify quality and size parameters for the image, all determined by how you name
it.
Renaming layers and layer groups
You'll generate assets from the 13Working.psd file for a website. Initially, you'll
save only one of the buttons, so you can preview the generated image and see if it
meets your needs.
1.
Choose File > Generate > Image Assets.
Once you've enabled Generator, it continues to be enabled for the current docu-
ment until you disable it again. It's a document-specific setting, which means it
can be enabled for one PSD file you're working in but not for another.
2.
In the Layers panel, double-click the Gallery 1 layer group name, and re-
name it
