Batch processing multilayered files with a consistent background in Photoshop
Hi everyone!
I have a folder full of psd files each one contains 3-4 layers of cut out images of people. Below these is a folder containing a number of layers making up a consistent background texture.
What I want to do is batch process these to make up a jpeg consisting of each of the cut-out layers and the background. So if my psd file has 3 layers of cut out people say layer a, b and c and a folder containing the background texture (call this folder d) then I want to save out a jpeg with layer a + d, another jpeg with b + d, another with c + d.
Is there a way of automating this, or is there a script that will help me achieve this as a batch process rather than having to do each psd individually?
Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that Richard, could you give a bit more detail on that one? Layer comps? Selected Layer comps..? still slightly puzzled. Sorry if this seems like a bit of a noob question, but I haven’t had to do this kind of batch processing before.
Your help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Figured it out! That’s awesome! I’ve never used Layer Comps before. What a brilliant toy. Thanks a lot for your help Richard. Just saved me hours of time!!!
