Need Photoshop action to record WHERE on canvas a layer is placed, NOT how many pixels it was moved.

Hello everyone,
I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.
I created an action:
I have a bunch of PSD files of some pretty expensive rings that were shot at hi-res and cropped.
Now, i have a canvas that is 996x1104 px.
All of these rings must sized to 540px width AND positioned on the canvas at x:498px and y:706 (the bottom of the layer must touch 706px, which I did by clicking on the little tiny box at the bottom of the little square made of little squares (that's next to the x and y positions when you are on Transform mode).
I made an action for all of these steps.
However, when I batch a group of these hi-res ring PSDs and apply the action,
they are always in different spots. They all need to be set on y:706px so it looks like they are all resting on the same plane.
I found out why this is happening:
because when I position the ring when creating the action, Photoshop records HOW MUCH in pixels I moved the layer... NOT WHERE ON THE CANVAS IT'S POSITIONED.
This is what I need: to have Photoshop record WHERE on the canvas the layer is positioned.
Can anyone help?
We have so much work to do by Monday and setting up this action would definitely help us.
Thanks so much!
_Chris

Did you try settings the rulers units to Percent before recording the action and see if that makes a difference?
You might possibly need a script for your goal, in which case you could ask over on the photoshop scripting forum:

Complain to the Attorney General about what? There is nothing in your story worth any such complaint. They will tell you the same.
First you have payment difficulty so credit and the Edge program are not available to you. You have to be credit worthy to get any upgrade, unless you can pay full price for all those new devices.
Can you?
You are trying to get new contract plans, but since you are having paying on time and in full issues you will not get extended credit from any carrier.
What I would do is go and port out to Boost or Virgin Mobile where you pay a reduced cost for each device and get unlimited everything for $40 to $50 a month, it is pre pay so if you don't pay you get cut off.
Verizon although with the best coverage is also the highest priced.
Good Luck

Just installed ios 7 on my 4s, and I have two issues: 1) control centre: the music controls do not work, only the volume adjust slider works; 2) in mail, where do you find the setting to control how many messages you want your inbox to retain?

How to pull sales orders based on a Campaign??( I have created one Campaign and i need to know,for how many orders it was applicable)

How to pull sales orders based on a Campaign ID??( I have created one Campaign and i need to know,for how many orders it was applicable)

Hello,
as far I understand you are talking about campaign determination. Once a sales order is generated having a campaign determined the campaign creates a reference to the sales order. The best way to track the assigned sales orders is using the related transactions function:
The same feature is available for trade promotions as well.
The data is available in table CRMD_BRELVONAE - you can also write a report selecting on OBJGUID_A_SEL with the campaign or TP guid and OBJTYPE_A_SEL with BUS2010020 for campaigns and BUS2010030 for trade promotions.
Is this answering your questions?
best regards,
Johannes

I need Photoshop CS5.5 installer - where to download?

I am getting this: "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop." when I try to run my copy of PS5.5. Er... where do I find the installer? The download does not appear to be available anywhere on the Adobe site.

If you no longer have a access to your Creative Suite 5.5 install files then please follow the steps listed at http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html to download Photoshop CS5.1. Please make sure to follow the Very Important Instructions section prior to scrolling down and clicking on the download links.
I would also recommend making a back up of the installation files in case you need them again in the future.

History "today" and "yesterday" are missing--all I get is "Last 7 days", "this month" and the previous month. Is this a matter of settings? If, yes, where do I change it? If not, how might I get any recent history to show?

Hello,
As of yesterday I can no longer access any browsing recent history, i.e. history only show me sites visited x-6days (today being the 21 of Sept, I can only see up to the Sept. 15; all sites visited after that date are not displayed).
I'd be thankful for any answer that may resolve this matter.
Sincerely,
D. Hadan

Bug in Photoshop Action Player affecting some Adjustment Layers steps

I skipped CS4 and when I installed CS5 I discovered a nasty bug had been introduced is Photoshop's Action facility most likely in CS
4.
Action that add adjustment Layers clipped to the current layer that step is recorded Make adjustment layer with Clip.
Action that add adjustment Layers not clipped Step records as Make adjustment layer.
When a step Make adjustment layer with Clip is played back that is what Photoshop does.
When a step Make adjustment layer is played back what Photoshop does is look at the adjustment panel clipping icon state and and if
it is clip to current layer Photoshop does clip the adjustment layer to the current when is should be applied to all.
Many of the actions I have created add adjustment layer applied to all then later clip them to the current layer. These actions
genearate an error message if the Adjustment panel clipping icon is set to clip. Because the layer get added clipped, clipping the adjustment
layer it is not available. The strange thing is the layer is clipped the way I want it to be. But actions I recorded where I want the adjustment to
apply to all are clipped and the is no error message just wrong results.

To avoid the problem you described, i always leave
the Clip to Layer unchecked.
That way you never have to worry about those errors.
I just let the actions dictate clipped or not.
If i want to clip a layer, i just do it myself using the button circled in red.

i think this
SELECT *
--DELETE t
FROM NEWFP.dbo.CHECKINOUT t
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM NEWFP.dbo.CHECKINOUT
WHERE USERID = t.USERID
AND CHECKTIME < t.CHECKTIME
AND CHECKTIME >= DATEADD(minute,-5,t.CHECKTIME)
Once you're happy that it gives you the required records just comment the SELECT *, uncomment the DELETE part and execute

Adobe Photoshop Elements License valid for how many family computers ?

Hi,
I know Apple Appstore Version of Elemtents is a little "limited" in Usage (no Organizer), but is allowed to be installed and used on up to 5 family computers.
Bought Photoshop Elements 12 last year online at Adobe Online Store.
On how many computers am I allowed to install, activate and use this version ?
Is it possible to use/install the software on WIN and OSX the same time ?
Thanks for help, appreciate !
(Couldn't find answer in the help/license section)

I doubt that there is multiplatform serial key available for Photoshop Elements 13.
It is either for Windows or Mac.
Elements is sold as a cross-platform license.
Elements 13: Purchased upgrade but download is for Windows and I have a Mac

Bug report: Photoshop can't record an action where you insert the menu item "Tile all horizontally".

I am running CS6 beta on Mac OS 10.7.3
Photoshop can't record an action where you insert the menu item "Tile all horizontally".
Expected behavior: add the tile all horizontally action to your actions.
Behavior: nothing happens.
This does work for Tile all vertically.

Have I mentioned how much i love my playbook now Great job on os 2.0

Trying to upload "actions" to photoshop elements 10 but I am having troubles because things are not on my hard drive that need to be there??

I am trying to upload "actions" to photoshop elements 10 but I am having troubles! I watched the YouTube tutorial but seem to be missing "Adobe" in my Hard Drive! Help me I am stuck....

I just loaded my actions using the PSE 10 from the App Store.
Close PSE.
Access the System library location from Finder menu, click "Go" in the menu bar then select "Go to Folder...". Type in "~/Library" and click Go.
The systems Library will open up and then you take this path:
Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor > Presets > Actions (The Actions folder is where you move your actions file to)
Then go to the Photo Creations Folder > Locales > en_US and delete the MediaDatabase.db3 file (move it to the trash)
The next time you launch PSE your Actions DB will be rebuilt with the new actions installed.

Need my action to hide the grid, but it's not recording it

Hi!
My question is simply this:
Is it not possible to hide the grid as part of a Photoshop action? When I perform that step, nothing gets recorded.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks!

At the appropriate place in the Action, go to the Actions panel menu (top-right button) and pick "Insert Menu Item..." then select the grid hiding command.
Or did you do that and it didn't work?
