<p>This is a great script for Illustrator: it automates the export of layers into individual JPG files.</p>
<p>I found this at the <a href="http://hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/illustrator-exporting-layers-to-png" target="_blank">hicksdesign blog</a> when I was looking for a smart way to export all 87 layers of a design explorations file to make a web presentation. The standard way of dealing with this (the &#8216;Save for Web&#8217; option) would have taken me ages, but after some minor adjustments (and a bit of trial and error), this is has become most favorite tool at the moment. It just saves so much time!</p>
<p>Before you go, you need a clean file set-up — the script executes an export of <em>each</em> top-level layer, including all its sub-layers. I added a feature that adds any layers named &#8216;ALWAYS&#8217; as visible on top of <em>each</em> export. This is good for keeping a browser window visible all the time in the background or a logo, or any other elements that never change throughout your layers.</p>
<p>The size of the export area is defined by a cropping mask, so make sure you have one in place  — otherwise the image will be cropped to the size of all visible elements on a layer.</p>
<p>Just throw the script in the folder Apps/Illustrator/Presets/Scripts and execute it will show up under File/Scripts.<br />
(thanks Pete for helping me with the ALWAYS feature in javaScript!)</p>
<p>Download the jsx file for the script <a href="http://supermetricity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/SaveLayersAsJPGcropMaskALLWAYS.jsx.zip">here</a> as ZIP</p>
