Could I do this? For example, if I was making a new logo, I would save the psd, it'd create a new folder called Avatar, and in that it would save the psd and the PNG.

Would that be possible?

    Welcome Victory! :) You want to do this by one click? If yes, that's possible via scripting. The documentation can be found here: adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/scripting.html

  • There is a sample script: Save extra jpg.jsx. I think it's a bit unnecessarily complicated script, but could guide you to the right direction.

if you are using Photoshop CC June 2014 You can get benefit using Extract assets from layers by naming folder group .png this will ensure saving a copy of all the layers and it's sun as assets.

what I mean: you can save your PSD normally while the layers of your logo grouped in a folder layer named XXXX.PNG so you may save PSD normally in the same time you will export all group layers under a specific folder or individual layers as flatten PNG file.

please see this new feature here

Image asset names are generated from layer names/layer group names

Rename the appropriate layers/layer groups

  • The question is about automatically saving a PNG snapshot of the document each time it's saved, but this answer is about saving individual assets on demand via File > Generate

  • why don't you answer the main question instead of critic my answer?? what I said he might "get benefit using Extract assets from layers". if you understand what I mean - and sure you don't - he can save his PSD normally while the layers of his logo grouped in a folder layer named XXXX.PNG so he may save PSD normally in the same time he will export all group layers under a specific folder or individual layers as flatten PNG file.

  • On reflection, I agree this is a constructive answer. But perhaps you could refine it a bit? Can't change vote unless it's edited.
