Hi there all,
I have Photoshop 6, and I am working on a document called myPhoto.psd. This document has a total of 57 layers, and I am now trying to save each layer as a seperate file. I have thought of creating an action, in which for everytime the action is played it cyclyes to the next layer once, duplicates that layer as a new document, crops the image to the size of the image inside the layer, and then saves it. However, the first time I tried this action set, I noticed that the action does not keep the original document as the current window. I then tried adding at the bottom of the action to select the original document, but that piticular action says select previous document instead of saying select myPhoto.psd. Doing so, and if I have more then one document, this will randomly select another window instead of always picking myPhoto.psd. So I wanted to know is there a way to keep the original document, myPhoto.psd, as the current window?

If you find an answer tell us. You could upgrade to Photoshop 7 and use as script, or get LayerSplitter:

Thanks Ed. For now, I will look for another work arround. I have came close to one, but it ended up taking almost the same amount of time as if I had done the long way because after the 30th opened window my computer became slugish. As for laySplitter, I do not have the money right now as you can see since I am still using PS 6, and the demo creates these dotted lines accross the images which I do not want..
