Photoshop Scripts Pack for Artists and Animators

Scripts for Photoshop to boost the speed of working with layers and groups in the commercial environment.

To run scripts in Photoshop use File -> Scripts -> Browse... and choose the script you want to execute.
If you want to speed this up, you can copy this script file to [Photoshop Installation Directory]/Presets/Scripts and it will show up in the File > Scripts menu once you restart Photoshop.

Tip: If you have any adjustment layer(s) that you would want to merge with all layers that are below, you can drop the layers you want into a group, apply the layer as a clipping mask to this group and run the "apply_clipping_mask_to_group" script.

List of scripts:

• copy_clipping_mask_to_group - Copies clipping mask to each layer of the group. You need to select a layer attached as a clipping mask to some group and execute the script. It will copy this layer to each layer inside the group and apply it as a clipping mask. Note: better to execute this script first in inner groups with clipping masks if you have any.

• apply_clipping_mask_to_group - Merges clipping mask to each layer of the group. You need to select a layer attached as a clipping mask to some group and execute the script. It will copy this layer to each layer inside of the group, apply it as a clipping mask, and merge. Note: better to execute this script first in inner groups with clipping masks if you have any.

• rename_layers_with_same_name - Renames layers that have the same name iteratively ('_1', '_2', ...). You don't need to select anything special, just execute the script. If the file will have layers with similar names (for example: "pony") it will rename iteratively (it will leave the first appearance of "pony" as it is and rename the second appearance as "pony_1", third - "pony_2", etc.).

• select_layers_with_same_name - Selects layers that have the same name. You don't need to select anything special, just execute the script. If the file will have layers with similar names (for example: "pony") it will select iteratively (it will skip the first appearance of "pony" and select all the next ones).
