    Is there a plugin or script to hide/reveal layers one by one in Photoshop for doing layer breakdown previews?

    Does anyone know of anything like this or have any tips on how to do this faster? Thanks!!!

    @le_penseur_ I believe that Alt does just that, if you click on one eye + Alt it hides all the other layers, if you do it again it will show them as before (it will only show the ones that were visible before you clicked).
    If you click layers one by one holding down the Alt key it will show that layer and hide the rest.

    You can also click and drag the mouse on the eyes and it will show/hide the layers where the mouse was dragged.

    Hope that's what you are looking for, play around to see how else it behaves.

    @le_penseur_ I've been tinkering a little with PS and there doesn't seem to be a way to batch save the same image (sequential filenames), so every time you Save As.. you have to input a different name.

    make an animation inside photoshop, just make a keyframe each time you make a layer visible, then you export the video with the whole animation at once

    There is a shortcut for "select next/previous layer" check your keyboard settings depending on the language you use. An action can record that shortcut. :)
