Turn Layers into Separate Documents

 

If you’ve created a multi-layered document and you’d like to create separate documents from those layers, there’s an automated way to do this. From the File menu, choose Scripts>Export Layers to Files. A dialog will appear offering you many options, including which format you want to use, file naming, etc.

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
