This script is intended to be used on a photoshop document containing retina artwork for iOS. It will resize, trim and save the selected layer or group, into a directory you select using the layer name (normalised) as the default file name. There are a couple of resizing options you can select such as the resizing method and whether to scale styles or not. It does not alter your original document in anyway.
