Salutations. I use CS3 10.0 portable. This is my problem. I have a psd document with 128 frames inside of one image. I want to make a new image that shows all frames, putting each frame on the bottom of its predecessor. How can I do this easily? I can stretch the canvas and drag/drop each frame on top of the other, then save the strip as a new image, but with so many frames it is both very time consuming and impractical. Is there a way to do this automatically via a script or sth else? Regards and best wishes to all...^^

First you need to get the layers in the psd saved out to seperate files.
To do this :
File - Scripts - Export Layers to Files

Then you can use :
File - Automate - Contact Sheet II

Another alternative.
To save layers to files..

To put the files together..

or if you want a space between frames this should do it.
PS-Scripts • View topic - Strip Maker

Hopefully you can make one of these methods work.:cool2:
 
Thanks for the prompt answer. Ok, here is what I have done. Animation -- make frames from layers Export -- render video -- image --sequence And now I have a folder with all 128 frames as separate png images. The problem is with contact sheet II Either Auto-spacing or manual spacing with 0 for horizontal and vertical produces a sheet image with spacing, while I need no spacing at all. How can I circumnavigate that? Will try the two more methods now btw.
