As I new user of APP, I find it very confusing that there is no difference of terminology in the rendering panel to distinguish 'source-image layer' from 'layer group'. It’s impossible to know what kind of layers you’ll get.
I’d love to have the option to render ‘layer groups’ as individual layers within a PSD/PSB file, but I don’t see a way to get there in APP 2.0.6.

Hi Judy,
look at my screenshot.
if you click on "all panorama rendering" from main APG window or inside the editing window the "render" button the windows opens like seen on my screenshot.
I used 2 layers in my example, "Ebene 1" containing all images except one and inside "ebene 2" I've one single image on correct place located of the final pano (its showing a plane and by using the smartblend such object get removes because "detected" as ghosts...
... back to your question. with the opened window you've the option:
Format-> choose psd...
under Layer youve option: emebdded (in my screenshot "Eingebettet") and "none" (in my screenshot "Keine")
taking the fist you get two psd files with one layer each, parts not covered by the image are transparent
taking the second you get 2 files (to get them you've to change filename by adding %L ... see the "?" for detailed filenameoption) each containing one of your layers in one seperate image where the uncovered parts of the image have a black background
if you choose "one per file as layer option (in my screenshot "Eine pro Datei") than each single image part of your pano get saved/exported as seperate layer...
with PS or Serif Photo Plus 11 or any other layer capable image software you can combine both single layers in one final image...
Liebe Gruesse,
Georg

1. I have a panorama with images taken at three different focal lengths.
2. In the Layers panel, I hit the 'F' icon to sort by focal length. This gives me three focal length groups.
3. Render dialog:
I would like to create a single PSD/PSB file that contains four layers. The bottom layer would be the entire rendered pano. There would be three additional layers, each one a rendered layer for each 'focal-length group'.
In APP 2.0.6, if the Layers panel is grouped by focal length (or any other group), and I then hit the Render command, I automatically get three separate PSD files.
Clicking the Layers button in the Render dialog only adds image-source files to the output files.
APP 2.0.6, Mac 10.6.2, Mac Pro (Intel)
Hope this is clear.
Judy

if you add some images, dont do a preview afer adding them - they get deleted again. So adding immages with dialog and publishing posting and than eventually editing again.... ;-)
the uploaded images have limitations as seen; 5000x4000 pixel + 1563 KB + .gif /.jpg or .png format accepted
layers... to get one final pano containing the different focal length panos in seperate layers.... I dont see a solution - only take the seperate psd files containing one layer each and use Photoshop than to stack them together...

Thanks. This confirms that my understanding of the current output options is correct.
Thanks, too for the tip about not previewing a forum post with attached images. Another undocumented feature! 
Perhaps a little warning beside the Preview button would help the uninitiated.
