Scripts¶

Toggle Layer Visibility (by name)¶

Overview:

This script toggles visibility of layers with a specific prefix

Usage:

Assign script to a hotkey;
Defaul prefixes are: hide, cont and prefixes of Perpsective Tools: perspective and parallel;

Advanced:

By default the script will ignore layers with color labels (I use this to have different perspective grids and sketch layers in a document), this option can be turned off in settings: use the Toggletator Settings script to change it and modify prefixes;

Toggle Layer Visibility (by color label)¶

This script toggles visibility of layers with a specific color label

Usage:

Assign script to a hotkey;
Default color label is Red;

Advanced:

Use the Toggletator Settings script to change the color label to toggle;

Toggle Active Layers¶

Overview:

This script toggles visibility of selected layers.
- This is useful to switch between two versions of a layer/groups of layers;
- To check how layers or selected adjustment layers are affecting the lower layers;

Usage:

Assign script to a hotkey;

Toggle Inactive Layers¶

Overview:

This script toggles visibility of layers that aren’t selected (that are currently visible).
- This is useful to check specific layers without context;
- To find hidden layers in the document;

Usage:

Assign script to a hotkey;

Toggle Channel Visibility¶

Overview:

This script toggles visibility of channels with specific prefix.

Usage:

Assign script to a hotkey;
Defaul prefixes are: hide and cont;

Advanced:

Having a channel is useful if working with several windows of one document:
- Channels may be visible only in one window;
- Eyedropper doesn’t pick occasional colors from visible channels;
To change the prefixes, modify the settings via the Toggletator Settings.

Toggle Zoom¶

Overview:

This script toggles between two zoom levels;
It only works in Photoshop versions from CC2015 though;

Usage:

Assign script to a hotkey;
Change options with the Toggletator Settings;

Advanced:

with a Smart Zoom option turned ON Toggle Zoom will toggle between two last used zoom extremes. For example, you were at 25% zoom, calling the function will zoom to 300%. Next time you call the function, you’ll unzoom back to 25%. If you unzoom to 16.67%, first call bring you back to 300%, second — to 16.67%.
with a Smart Zoom option set to OFF Toggle Zoom will toggle zoom between current zoom value and value from Toggle to zoom option (default is 25%). Yes, I used a word zoom 5 times in this sentence.

Toggle Flip¶

Overview:

This script flips view or canvas horizontally (by default) or canvas vertically while maintaining visual center of the document;
It only works in Photoshop versions from CC2015;

Usage:

Assign script to a hotkey;

Advanced:

Set Type of flip option to set flipping canvas horizontally/vertically or flip view horizontally (CC2019+);
if you’re using a HDPI display (4K, 5K, Retina display on Mac), change Display Scale Factor option to the value of your zoom factor. For Mac Retina it’s 200. For Windows get a percent value from Display Settigns;
By default the visual center of the document is located in the center of the active window but it’s possible to shift it using Offset Center values: for instance if you work on a particular side of a screen in Fullscreen mode;
Since it’s impossible to set rotation of a document using a script, document rotation will be reseted.
