3d light to affect all layers

Hi,
I've just recently started to use the 3d function on photoshop cs5 with text. But is there a way so the light on one layer affects other layers instead of having to redo the light for all layers?
Thanks

Nope. Unfortunately that 3D stuff is pretty much locked in its own world per layer. You do get the coordinates in the toolbar with the transform tools, though, so you could write them down or save them as a preset and apply them on the other layers...

Apply adjustment to affect all layers when xport layers to files

Hi.
Have a set of sequence images opened with Bridge and placed in photoshop as individual layers. I´ve croped the image and
applyed som adjusments eg. curves etc. Now i want to save the layers as files from the file-scripts having the layer adjustments affecting
my layers before saving.
/Tedski

Well, you don’t need it anymore, but I still gave a Script that saves the pixel-layers as separate files with the Adjustment Layers flattened in a try; only for psd, though, so no format-selection.
If you want to give it a try …
// create psd-copies of all pixel-layers with adjustment layers applied to them;
// thanks to xbytor for the regexp;
// 2010, use at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var thedoc = app.activeDocument;
var docName = thedoc.name;
var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];

catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};
// duplicate;
var myDocument = thedoc.duplicate ("thecopy", false);

PSE7 Newbie - Cropping in layers affecting all layers.

OK,
I am going to have several questions regarding this project, which is to select several photos in the Organizer, move them to the editor, crop and resize the photos and arrange them on a page, then add some text to create a page in a photo album. I don't want to use the Photo Album offered by Adobe, I want to learn by doing it myself. (Actually this is my wife's project and I am trying to show her how to do it -- and as usual, she asks me more questions than I have answers for).
I haven't gotten any responses from my earlier post asking for advice on Moving Photos from Organizer to the Editor, and a I was hoping that someone would clue me in on what I was doing -- like whether what I was doing was right or wrong -- and maybe that would have an effect on my next question.
Which is, when setting up layers for my photo album page, when I crop a photo on one of the layers, it reduces all of the layers to the size of the cropped image -- and I lose everything so to speak.
Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to crop on a layer without affecting the whole image. Should I be handling this another way, like doing all of my cropping before I create the layer or is there some secret I haven't discovered yet.
Ron in Round Rock

Terri, thanks for the response.
Yes, I do know that I can get pictures directly from the Editor.
But no, actually my question was that I was trying to understand the Organizer / Editor interaction. I have read that if you pass pictures to the Editor via the Organizer, they are automatically backed up or copied (somehow) -- so if you mess up in the Editor, you won't be accidentally destroying the original. This sounded like a pretty safe thing to do.
I am just trying to figure out how that works. When I get to the Editor via the Organizer, the bunch of pictures I selected in the Organizer appeaqr in the Pictures from Organizer Bin. I think I understand that -- and these are the pictures I want to use in different layers in my Editor session.
However, all of the pictures I selected in the Organizer are also Opened as separate edit sessions in the Editor (I am still trying to figure out what these Editor sessions are called; i.e. how do I refer to them). I am unsure if this is a good deal because it is not what I wanted to happen (at least I wish I was given an option on this).
So if I want a 2nd photo on a layer, do I drag the photo up to the in-process Editor session from the Pictures from Organizer Bin or from the Open Files Bin. Both seem to work, but I am sure one or the other is the more correct way to do this. I would like to understand the differences between the two actions.

Photoshop CS6 - All Layers updating

Hi
I have copied the Background Layer and deselected this. I have then made adjustments to the copied Layer and when I commit the Background Layer will change as well. I then created a New Layer and selected only this one, but then all layers were changed. Please can you help as to what I may have missed. I cannot seem to find anything that will work,
Thanking you
Anne

Hello,
Are you using Adjustment Layers? (those will affect all layers below it by default)
If you clip the Adjustment Layer (Layer>Create Clipping Mask) then it will only affect the layer immediately below.
or
Are you viewing at 100% (View>Actual Pixels)?
In many cases of Adjusting, you need to view at 100% to see exactly how your image is changing.

Layer style affected on all layers

Hello Everybody,
I have 5 layers with similar and different layer styles applied in my psd file (PS CS5). The problem is when I make changes to the styles on one layer, the affect is applied to all the layers simultaneuosly. Why is this happening? Is there any option to turn this off? I need to apply style changes to only a particular layer without affecting other layers. Please HELP.
Thanks
Shiva

Is it the angle of the light that's changing on all the layers? If so, then it's likely you've got the [ ] Use Global Light setting checked. That setting is supposed to tie the light angle together on all the layers so that changes will be coordinated.
If this is not the issue, you may want to do some screen grabs and post them here to show what you're seeing, your layers panel, and the specific layer effects you're seeing the changes in. That will give the folks here more information with which to answer your question accurately.

Layers problem in PS cs5 extended, all layers change at once, including background layer.

layers problem in PS cs5 extended, when working in a layer, all layers changes at once i.e size, cropping, smart object etc. even the background layer changes...it is really annoying, please help, My system windows 7 64 bit 4gb ram. It is not grouped, deleted preferences, usually work in rgb/ 8 bit channel - have same problem with all new projects.

Hi
Problem with layers is when I use the crop tool in a layer out of 20, all of them get croped at once including a locked backgound layer.
When I use smart object in a layer to size down image with transform tool, guess what happens to all the layers in project? all behave odd, changes same as the layer being sized down. If I work images or layers in separate files, once I bring them over to my workspace, all get affected without maintaining their own individuality. This happens with every new project. I think colors are not affecting layers. Layers are not grouped, I do not know anything about linking layers. This problem is stopping me from using photoshop. Please help!!!
I had previously a problem with a photoshop bug (GPU sniffer), which I was able to resolve it with reintalling the graphics video card with the help of HP technical support, I am able now to work with repousse however with same video card.
Let me know if you need me to give you more details.
thanks,

My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Animated Gif's - Applying Clone Stamp to all layers

I have some animated gif's and I want to clone a
section of all layers that compose it. I have PS2 and PS4. PS2 allows me to open and sample all layers of the GIF but wont let me apply the clone to more than one layer at a time, PS4 wont let me open anymore than the first layer. Is there a solution for this. If not is there anything in Image Ready or Fireworks that will?

Window --> Animation, frame mode. Select all frames and while selected, do the cloning or whatever.

How do i move all layers at once in my GIF

hi, I have recently switched to adobe fireworks, and its
really confusing to me. I was wondering how to move all layers at
one time in my animated GIF. I like moving each frame individually
and it is taking a LONG long long time! In image ready, it was a
lot easier for me, in this I cannot seem to figure it out.
Also how do i move all layers at once onto another image?
Thanks

after calling this
JComboBox CB = new JComboBox();
CB.addItem("Jan");
CB.addItem("Feb");
CB.removeAllItems();
do this
CB=null;
now when u want to add again
do this
CB=new JComboBox();
CB.addItem("bla bla ..");

Is there a way to select all layers at once?

I have a bunch of layers, WITHOUT holding down control and clicking each one, one by one, is there a button or shortcut to just auto highlight all the layers, Im trying to move them around evenly together on the canvase at once.
Thanks

You can also Select all Layers by clicking on the top, or the bottom, then holding down Shift and clicking on the other (top, or bottom). That will Select the Background, but as Conroy points out, it cannot be Moved, so you might not want to use that, depending on what your next operation will be.
If you do wish to perform certain operations, including the Background Layer, you can first Dbl-click on it, and convert it to a "regular" Layer.
Good luck,

Can I close all layers? or even better, stop illustrator from opening all layers when I open a file?

I just installed cs6, and when I open files in Illustrator, it opens all of the layers which contain sublayers. It does this even if all the top-level layers were closed during the previous save. The files I work with have a large layer-structure, so re-closing the top-level layers every time I open a file wastes a lot of my time. Can I close all layers at once, or better yet, can I stop Illustrator from opening all of the layers automatically when I load a file?
If not, then WHY on earth not? I can't be the only one who opens and closes large files with lots of layers and sub-layers...
Thanks for your help.
Edit: I also am noticing this problem is even worse in cs6, because openning and closing individual layers plays a little animation of rotating the triangular arrow before the layer which, cute as it may be, just makes the task of individually closing up all my layers that much more tedious. Can I turn off that little animation of the triangular arrow when opening and closing layers?

You can save it as a pdf and when you open that in AI the layers will not be opened even if they have sublayers.
Not true. Does the same nonsense an .AI file does. Saved as a .PDF, closed Layers/subgroups get opened.
And no one cares!
I do. Every other Adobe program with a layering sceme seems to be able to remember that you saved a file with all layers and subs closed. But not this one.
Maybe someone from the AI development team should ask someone from the Photoshop team how they've managed it.....for decades.

How can i edit lenght of the all layers in timeline at the same time??? in Photoshop cs6 extended

Please give me someone some tips... and tricks

You can't delete the All On My Mac as it is an automatic group to display all of the contacts that are stored "On My Mac." You can delete all of the contacts that are in the ON MY MAC section by selecting All ON My Mac and then selecting all contacts. Press delete and approve the deletion. Then, select each group under ON My Mac and delete those individually.
Then, Make sure iCloud is set as the default account in the General Address Book Preferences.
