layers

I have a PSD file with all icons in separate layers as vectors. I would like to save them in different sizes to use in iPhone, iPhone4 and iPad.

I tried Files > Scripts > Export Layers to Files

That took about 15 minutes to save each layer while the computer was overheating from the work. Tried with two different computers, one with CS4 and the other with CS5. Same result.

And that doesn't allow me to set sizes.

Seem like most icon packs, like pictos, glyphish and iconsweets are distributed in this way, in one PSD file.

Is some easy way to get them out of the PSD and into PNG files?
