Photoshop quickly saving Textures

TooLzor · May 2015

I know a few years back there was a multitude of Quick save scripts for textures but it seems that they don't want to work for CC ... or at least after mucking about with QSM, Quick Save Maps and Vtools none of them will work...

Is there a new one that does work or a workflow that I'm missing to make saving out Textures faster?

Expresso tools are awesome. I can't get the viewer to work, but for quickly saving maps it works great!

I found that and installed it and can't seem to get it to show up in the extensions menu where it said it should be...

Maybe go old school? Record a new action, save your file, stop the action and rename the action to match the file name. Now when you play it your texture gets saved with no fuss or pop ups

tadpole, I never even thought of that actually...Always thought it was harder than that to make that happen... <.< >.>

Well Thanks to tadpole I un-dumb'd myself and just re recorded the opening of the quick save maps and bam, they work..no idea why I didn't think of that earlier.

For future reference, we have a bunch of them listed here. Not sure which work in CC. Some of them do offer quite a bit beyond what an Action can do.

I use the built-in Assets Generator for texture export. You'll need to add ".png32" as an extension if your texture has 8-bit transparency and scaling down to 50% only works if the texture layers are exactly the size of the canvas, as far as I know.
Other than that it's a real time saver. Just remember to turn it off from time to time while working on huge maps: It saves everytime you change something and you don't always want that to happen while working. (BTW, there's no official support for TGAs yet)

If you're able to edit that you might want to update the Quick Save Maps link as his site is dead but he did upload it to Github
