  Create Multiple Layers from one image in Photoshop

  Posted by Maris Malejs on June 6, 2017 at 1:56 am

  Hello,

  I’m in a bit of pickle with an After Effects job and was hoping someone could help me out.

  I have an image that i’d like to separate into multiple layers. I would like to avoid having to go through and create each individual layer (copy and paste style).

  Basically I have a flattened PNG file with thousands of photos that are in a grid. They are spaced so that I can use the marquee tool to select the alpha channel. Then I invert the selection so now the marquee has selected every image on the grid.

  Is there an automated way of creating a layer for all of these photos in one action? I really don’t want to go through and cut this image apart photo by photo, but I fear that may be my only option. Any help or work around would be GREATLY appreciated!

  Thanks!
  -M
