Photoshop TGA Auto-naming Saving Script

SlappyBag · Dec 2012

I wrote some scripts for Photoshop that I thought might be handy, not sure if people already have all this set up. It allows you to save your texture maps with the push of a single button and adding the appropriate suffix depending on the map. No more constant File > Save As.

----What it does----
- Saves out all texture maps with push of single button
- Save out individual maps with or without alpha with single button
- Auto-names your saved file as "PSDName_D.tga"(Or _N,_S etc)
- Button to place any map into your Alpha

Heres a 5min video of what it does:

Any feedback would be great, including bugs complaints etc.

qSave does a similar job already but as far as I know doesn't have any quick way to put a group in the alpha of another map, which is pretty handy! Will give this a go soon, thanks

Thanks for the point to qSave, I'm fairly new to scripting/programming so its interesting to see others takes on it. Mine is much simpler than that and vTools. =D

I wrote a nice little photoshop script for this a few years back, its on the page D1ver shared earlier. http://www.markverkerk.nl/wp-content/otheruploads/PhotoshopExporter.rar

Regardless of what script you go with you can make an action that simple only runs that script, and then assign a keyboard shortcut to the action. If you then use that keyboard shortcut you instantly run your script of choice:) , ps (more shameless advertising) my script allows you to use custom suffixes (eg if you name your folder "glow -n", your resulting tga will be called psdname_glow.tga. If you dont want to use a custom suffix you can simply call your folder Diffuse, and it will be saved as psdname_D.tga. Also you can combine this with resizing. if your folder is called "glow -50 -n" or "Diffuse -50", it will not only use that name, but also resize your tga to 50% of the psd's size.

Enjoy
