Photoshop Challenge:
I was asked to grab a layer with a drop shadow effect on it from within a full page layout design document and export it as a png with transparency and effect included.
- Right click on desired layer and choose “Duplicate Layer”
- In dialog “Destination” choose ‘New”
- This gives you a new document the same height and width as the original with your new layer in it’s respective place
- Choose menu “Image > Trim” (There are many options when trimming but for this purpose the default meets the requirement)
- To save as, you have two choices, the classic “Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S” to open the “Save For Web” dialog or you can Right click layer and choose “Quick Export As PNG”
- Compression varies – on small simple graphic QE was more compressed – on large colorful file – SFW was smaller.
