PS CC - Loading multiple items at once into workspace w/ Script Load Files Into Stack

In PSCC you can also use a script to load more files into your workspace.

File > Scripts > Load Files Into Stack


When box opens up "Load Layers" choose BROWSE (click the create smart Object box at bottom if you want them to open as a smart object) ** see note at the end of tutorial **


It will then open your files.. choose the file you want.. my example I am choosing Gina Miller's J'Adore Elements. Holding down the Ctrl button on PC (cmmd on mac) I just go through and click on the elements I want, so they are all highlighted. Click at the bottom OPEN when you have chosen all your files you want in your workspace.


It then shows all the files you have chosen.

If you want to add the papers which is in a different file, click browse again and choose the papers or elements from someplace else or if you are done, click OK


This now shows the papers added too. Press OK when you are through loading the elements/papers you want



It will put them all together... then go to your layer and double click on the smart layer icon inside the layer window.. this will open a psb file with all the elements and papers on seperate layers in a psb file


As a psb file, the layers are all there with with what you have chosen so you can work as you wish


[**NOTE: If in your Load you do not click open as smart object you will not have the extra step of unpacking it by double clicking on the smart object icon in the layer panel.**]

 

I don't use this normally as I only like one at a time Cheryl @Cherylndesigns mentioned it so that is why I posted it Hugs (not sure how the early versions work.. Anne-Marie says it worked with her CS6).

 

I am not sure.. I just selected a bunch and then went back in and chose some papers and then ran it.. It put the papers at the bottom. It I think might do the template pngs in correct order.. try it

 

ah thanks Cindy! It might do alpha and then file type?

 

Hugs you are so welcome my friend!
