Photoshop Tutorials

Trevor Morris has put together a great set of free scripts for you.

Below you’ll find more than a dozen free scripts for Adobe Photoshop CS and higher. All scripts are very well commented, making them easy to modify and/or learn from. (I’m also available to do custom scripts.)

Array Generator

This script generates a two-dimensional array of cloned objects based on the selected layer or group. The user interface also allows you to specify the number of rows and columns, as well as the horizontal and vertical spacing between objects.

Black & White Variations

This script converts and saves an image to black-and-white using 20 different methods (although more methods can be added).

Center Layer

As the name implies, this script simply centers the active layer within the document, both vertically and horizontally.

Close Without Saving

A series of scripts for closing all documents, only the current document, or all documents except the current one, without saving changes.

Contract Canvas Selection

This script contracts a selection that touches the document boundaries on one or more sides — something that Adobe Photoshop CS2 and earlier isn’t capable of doing.

Hide All Layers

A simple script that sets the visibility of all layers to off (invisible).

Show All Layers

A simple script that sets the visibility of all layers to on (visible).

Import Folder As Layers

This script combines a series of images from the selected folder into a new document, and then names each layer according to the original file.

Layers to Comps

This script simply creates a layer comp for each layer in the active document.

Rename Layers

This script renames all layers in the active document, including those within groups. The script prompts for a layer name pattern, and then renames and numbers the layers from bottom to top.

Search For Layers

This script searches for layers, by name, and selects the first match.

Sort Layers

This script sorts all layers in the active document alpha-numerically (from top to bottom).

Toggle Layer Visibility

This script toggles the visibility of the current layer (on or off).

View Actual Pixels

This event-based script displays the current document at 100% zoom (actual pixels).
