Photoshop-Export-Layers-as-Images

This script allows you to export layers in your Photoshop document as individual images at a speed much faster than the built-in script from Adobe. So far it does not feature all the formats that the built-in version does, but more can be added easily upon request. Feel free to contribute to it and make it even more powerful!

This script was originally built as a response to a question on graphicdesign.stackexchange.com.
