Action with new file with size from selection

Hello,
I try to record an action that takes a copy of the current image and creates a new file with the same dimensions. The action I record always has the file size of the new image hardcoded in it. I tried to set Preset to Clipboard, but this is not recorded in the action. This is with CS3.
How can I create a new file that takes the current image size into account?
Thanks for your help,
Daniel

You can record the menu 'Image-Duplicate' to make a copy of the whole image without recording the size. If the doc only has one layer you can also record the flyout menu of the layer's panel to duplicate the layer to a new document. The size will not be recorded.

  • Map with 500 pdfs. How to make a new file with only the first pages, new file with second pages etc.

    Hi,
    A client confronted me with the next question:
    I have a map with 500 pdf's in it.
    Is it possible to make a new file with only the first page of each pdf?
    After that to make a new file with only the second page of each pdf?
    And after that the third?
    Etc.
    Is that possible with an action?
    Or are there scripts for?
    I couldn't find them.
    I use an iMac with Acrobat XI.
    Any help is very welcome.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can extract each page from each pdf as a seperate page.     Once this is done you can select the pages tocombine.
    You would have to write custom a custom JavaScript and programatically code the names to combine if the extracted file pages habvestandars naming that could  be programed. There maybe some security  coding you will have to do because of Adobe restrictions but this all documented in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

  • Library files files are replaced with new files

    Almost everyday, when i start iTunes my library files are replaced with new files & then i need to replce the new ones with my backup set

    There are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - Selected playlists in iTunes 7) allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

  • When I create a new file with 500px wide by 500px long it shows up on my screen as a rectangle.

    When I create a new file with 500px wide by 500px long it shows up on my screen as a rectangle. When I go to Image > Image Size it still shows the image as 500 x 500 yet it is clearly not a square. This also occurs if I try to create a circle, selecting the ellipse tool a checking the box for it to make a perfect circle it shows up as an oval.
    I have Photoshop CS6 on a macbook.
    Any help would be appreciated, I consider myself decently knowledgeable in Photoshop and I've looked through the settings, but I can't seem to figure out the issue, it's been happening for a while now, it's not a one-time fluke thing.
    Thank you.

    Is your pixel aspect ration set to square? Here 500 x 500 set to 2:1 aspect ratio pixels

  • I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
    /Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
    Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
    If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
    Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
    I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

    Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.

  • Finder (or other) replace with newer file functionality?!

    i just realized that i think i have been pretty much willy-nilly overwriting same name files with other same name files without the benefit of having a "do you want to overwrite this OLDER file with this NEWER file" prompt or alternatively a "do you /really/ want to overwrite this NEWER file with this OLDER file prompt".
    i realize i have a lot of data and that my doing this has been somewhat hasty but i guess i have been used to this functionality existing in MS OS explorer for so long i did not think twice about it.
    these files are long under the bridge and it is possible that they exist elsewhere on my HD but can anyone that has experience with "dual use" or major experience with Mac OS help me out there? does this functionality not exist? can i get it with some kind of App?
    i cannot reasonably expect to compare files one to one when sorting my HD so any advice here on automating this in a way that does not involve lots of steps or heavy scripting would also be great.
    TIA

    hi. this is even worse than i thought. hopefully a mac technician or expert will chime in here.
    if you are about to overwrite a newer FOLDER mac os will prompt to let you know if it the "overwriting" file is older (presumably it will also prompt if the overwriting folder is newer but who knows since i did not test it) but if you are about to overwrite a newer FILE it will not give you a prompt.
    to test this you can create a folder on your desktop called "test".
    1. drag and drop a random FILE into this folder.
    2. create an untitled folder on your desktop
    3. create an untitled folder in this test folder.
    4. copy the FILE into the test folder
    5. then copy the untitled folder into the test folder.
    in one case you get a prompt telling you that the overwriting folder is older and in the other case with the FILE you don't get a prompt.
    unless i mixed up the order of creating and copying files this seems like a pretty hair-brained scheme to have for an OS.
    maybe i am missing something.
    BTW i am testing on my desktop which can only go to ML OS.

    haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

  • How to create a new file with existing file's resource fork?

    Hello,
    I would like to create a new file that has the resource fork of an existing file. I had though of making a copy of the existing file, seek to the beginning of the copy and write the new data, but for large files, that creates the whole file even when not needed. I currently create the new file with [NSFileManager createFileAtPath: contents: attributes:], but attributes do not include resource fork items, like custom icons, color label, etc.
    [NSURL resourceValuesForKeys] gives a common subset of resource data, like icons and color label, but that's about it. Is there some way to get the resource fork or a copy of the file without getting the whole file?
    Thanks

    What are you trying to do here? While resource forks might still be quasi-supported, you really shouldn't be thinking about them as such. Instead, think in terms of extended attributes. You can use the low-level xattr() functions to get some of that or you can use the new NSURL methods.

  • Problems with compressing  files with right hand click. it does not work.

    Problems with compressing files with right hand click.

  • Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
    Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
    Good Luck.

  • Is there any way to remove my hard drive with backup files in it from the exclude these items from backups???

    I currently have a MacBook Air and a 1TB external hard drive, and I run my iPhoto Library from the EHD and as well have TM backup my computer to that same HD. The problem I have is that I don't have a backup of that HD which has all my photos and other media, so If the HD takes a crap I can be in big trouble.
    So what I did is I purchased a new HD (My Cloud from WD) to back up my EHD. While setting everything up I ran into this
    TM included the EHD in the "Exclude these items from backup" list and I can't touch them, and I tried everything. I later found this
    The last sentence of #3 states why I can't.... Since the EHD has a backup file in it, it is excluded.
    So..... Does anybody have any idea of a way around this? Would I have to restart everything and set it up different? Or just have a better and easier way of doing this?? I'll appreciate any help and suggestions.

    What you need, is a dedicated image restauration filter that recognized the regular frequency pattern superimposed onto the prints. You can do this in advanced Image processing packages that let you compute the fourier transform of the image and then suppress or attanuate the frequency bands of the artefact with a band-stop filter.
    But neither Aperture nor PhotoShop have this kind of filter. In Aperture and Photoshop you can only soften the effect by blurring and then exporting a smaller version of the image.
    The algorithm that your scanner uses is probably the best that can be done, even if the resolution is only 100 dpi. 
    Do you still have the negatives? Scanning the negatives at a high resolution may give you better results.

  • Illustrator CS2 can't open new file with network printer installed

    It seems that with my network printer set up I can't do much with Illustrator, I can't open new files and I can't print without opening up the printer setup menu in Windows.
    Photoshop CS btw, I can't open it at all.
    I take the network printer offline and everything is fine, except then I don't have a printer.
    Windows XP SP2
    Illustrator CS2 12.0.1
    Any fix for this?
    Thanks,
    David

    Creating a Dummy Generic printer fixed the issues of opening a new file in Illustrator and being able to open PS at all.
    However Illustrator is still taking several minutes to print something as simple as a test circle.
    The menu I was referring to is Printers & Faxes under control panel, though I realized later that may not have had anything to do with it. It may have simply been coincidental timing. I opened the P&F window about 10 minutes after hitting print and just after opening P&F the print window popped up. It simply may have been taking 10 minutes for the print window to open.
    With the network printer set up as the default printer if I try to open Photoshop a window opens but just stays a grey blank screen, no credits box, nothing. Then if after a few minutes I hit ctrl+alt+del it says Photoshop not responding.
    What I was doing to take the printer offline was to completely delete the network printer from Printers & Faxes.
    I'll see if they have an updated set of drivers, but I think I have the latest ones, as I updated them a month or so ago.
    Thanks,
    David
