Layers: Capture screenshots as layered PSDs
Earlier this morning, during one of my thrice-daily checks of versiontracker.com, an app in the list caught my eye. It’s called Layers, and it allows you to take screengrabs of your entire screen (or web pages) and capture each individual element within them as layers in a Photoshop document.
Have you retrieved your jaw from the floor yet? No? It’s okay, I can wait.
Needless to say, this is the sort of tool that could become indispensable for those of us that spend lots of time mocking up site designs in Photoshop. Imagine working on a refresh job for an existing site – one screengrab, and you’ve got all the existing design elements in a PSD, ready to be moved, tweaked, manipulated and massaged.
This is going to save me days worth of work.

EDIT: Did I mention it’s on sale today only (Nov 27th) for Black Friday?
