We develop custom Photoshop scripts to automate repetitive tasks. We share our resources for the price of a coffee. We also develop custom Photoshop scripts.
Photoshop script that combines Photoshop layered files (or flat: PSD, PNG, JPG…) into a single psd file.
This script rename dozens of Photoshop layers with just a click. It uses folder’s name to add prefixes.
It export layers to PNG files with the layer’s name. No more annoying _0000_ prefixes
Custom script that automatically arrays layers in Photoshop so you can create a matrix of images with a specified amount of files or rows.
With this custom Photoshop script you can export as PNG or JPG all possible layer combinations in a Photoshop document.

A Photoshop action is a sequence of tasks you must execute and record, so later on you can apply it on PSD files individually. For example: you record an action to desaturate an image, add a filter and resize. With just one click you can execute those 3 events.
You can record actions from Actions palette.
A Photoshop droplet can apply 1 action on many files and works from outside of Photoshop.
You can create a droplet from:
File > Automate > Create Droplet (you must create the action first).
A Photoshop script is a sequence of actions we write in Javascript (the best option as it is the only language available that run under Windows and Mac). For example: you can order Photoshop to apply several actions to dozens of images into a folder.
Scripting is automatisation most powerful level.
In this table we summarise the main differences between those Photoshop automation tools:
Action | Droplet | Script |
---|---|---|
Several Tasks |
1 action | +1 actions |
In 1 file | In lots of files |
In lots of files |
Works within Photoshop |
Works outside Photoshop |
Works within and outside Photoshop |
By recording an Action |
By creating a Droplet |
By Javascript coding |
From actions palette |
From File > Automate |
From Notepad |
Yes, Photoshop has a bunch of native scripts: load files into stack, video frame to layers, you can even create droplets with the batch tool…
Really straight forward:
File > Scripts > Browse… locate the .jsx file and click OK
