Is there a way to make a photoshop action that would turn on a layer, save to web, using that layer name as the filename, then turn off that layer and go to the next layer and repeat?
thanks

hey i want to know how to do an action for save for web too! could never figure that one out.
don't know about turning off/on specific layers, that might be trick-tastic.

you can actually run javascript functions in photoshop envioronment. Where I used to work we had a ps script that would chop up a file based on layers and output.
here is a link to the scripting guide for PS. enjoy this thing can really improve your workflow
within the javascript you can acutally control the program. turn on off layers effects even make selectionshttp://partners.adobe.com/public…
also google
"javascript actions in photoshop"lots of people have stuff up about it.

haven't tried it, but it appears to do what you'd like:

have you tried:
File > Scripts > Export Layers to Files?

trying to do something similar, except i need to keep the bg layer turned on while saving out the 100 layers above it individually.

what about saving out all the layers then run a seperate Action combining the background and each layer?
have you checked if Image Ready is better for this? (workflow is more optimized for web than PS, has some extra features for Actions that aren't in PS)
