And number two click extractor and the number three Photoshop notifies you that it requires a change in layer name to continue with the asset extraction. And this is because Photoshop use the underlying generator framework to create assets through the generator syntax and then click OK. Continue with extracting assets. Number four, navigate to the folder where you want to see the generated assets. Number five, click extractor, then Photoshop creates the image assets and or their containing folder in the mac or system or windows explorer if you use windows and in the process of creating this as valent layers are automatically renamed in accordance accordance with the quality and the size parameters.

Click setting number three, you can either use the default suffixes for each resolution or add your own Number four, you can add, you can also choose sorry. You can also choose to use the default soder for each resolution or a different soft name that you prefer. Number five, clicking down in the extract assets di saves this setting to the document. And whenever you unique, unique C create assets, the same setting are used and all future assets are created.

Common errors is meaning that layer is empty in the extract acid, yellow box and layers that are empty or are not capable or or rendering images cannot be rendered in extract acid and these layers by the way can be clapping and adjustment layers and or just layers that have no pixels in them and asset names are in conflict if you have layers with the same name but split across different groups and they are likely to overwrite each other because assets are usually rendered into one single directory to prevent this rename later when we detect a conflict. And if you overwrite the the naming, you receive this error to prevent you from overwriting and existing assets with the name you have chosen. And if your asset names contain invalid characters, you also receive this error by the way. And the names are filed without the invalid uh sorry, invalid characters to resolve the issue. And the image is outside of the document bounds. And the extract was unable to render the image because it bleeds, it bleeds off the camper and the move as the image so that if fits within the camp and unknown, an unknown error has a occurred. This error occurred by the way, if, if a generator stops responding, well, the extract as is open and to fix it to close the extra as save your file and then restart photo shop.
