Actions- move object to another layer

Is it possible in Illustrator CS4 to record an action that selects a particular object in a layer called base & move the selected object into another layer called blue & lock the layer that the object was moved? Any suggestions are welcome

An Action can record the assignment of a Note to a selected object.
An Action can select an object by its Note.
An Action can record the locking of a Layer if it is done in the Layer Options dialog, not by just clicking the Lock icon.
The problem is recording a step that will switch you to another Layer. However, selecting an object makes its Layer the current Layer. So, you can, for example:
Assume you have two Layers: Base and Blue.
Assume there is an object on Layer Blue with a Note: "OnBlue".
Assume there is a selected object on Layer Base that you want to move to Layer Blue.
The Action would:
1. Cut the selected object to the Clipboard.
2. Lock the current Layer Base. (Toggle Dialog Off.)
3. Select the object that is noted “OnBlue”. (Thus, LayerBlue becomes the current Layer.)
4. Paste (or PasteInFront or PasteInBack to cause it to paste in the same location).

Pasting object in another layer

Is it possible to cut objects from one layer and paste into another?
I know how to change layers. But picking an object in the layers list and dragging it to another is little cumbersome

Select an object on layer 1
Cut
Select an object on layer 2 (notice that layer 2 is now selected in the layers pallet)
paste
Object is pasted onto layer 2. I just tried it, so I know that it works.

What's the easiest way to move or copy an effect from a layer or object to another layer or object?

If I drag an effect from the target circle of one object to anther in the layer's panel it replaces the effect along with all appearance. But I want just to add the effect. For example, a layer has a drop shadow and a path, round corners. I want to move the drop shadow from the layer to the path so that the path now has the round corners and the drop shadow.
To do this I have to open the shadow effect of the layer wright down its parameters, then create a shadow effect for the path with the same parameters which is a lot of work. Any easier way?

Thanks Monika,
May be I'm not understanding you or may be you misunderstood me.
This is an example:
Create a document and a path (for example a box) and apply Effects > Stylize > Round Corners
In the layers panel, click the target circle of the layer and apply Effects > Stylize > Drop Shadow.
Now I want to move or copy the drop shadow from the layer and add it to the path without removing the Round Corners effects already applied to the path.
The result for the path should be Drop Shadow effect added to it and the Round Corners effect remains.
The result for the layer should be no effect remains for it in case of moving the effect or the Drop Shadow effect remains in case of copying it (holding Alt key while dragging from its target circle).

Moving an image on a different layer moves other objects in another layer?

I've got two layers (this happens with only one layer as well). In the first layer I've got an image, some rectangles, and a couple of text boxes. In layer 2 I've only got one image. When I move the image up or down Muse also moves some of the objects in layer 1. How can I prevent this from happening? It's resizing or moving them all out of wack.

Hi Cfriedman,
Kindly lock the layer that you are not currently working on, before making edits or moving content in the other layers. (In this case, lock layer 1 before moving objects in layer 2)
Locking will ensure that you do not accidentally select and edit the objects/layers.

How to fix an object in one layer to an object in another layer?

I have tried to find a soloution to this in the forum, but perhaps my english not being native prevents me from using the correct search terms - so here it is for you to solve
Layer one: background with some rocks
Layer two: a person standing in front of green screen.
The person in layer two is "placed" on a rock
Now, in layer one the camera is slowly turning left to right.
I want the person in layer two to still stand on the rock, even though the rock is "moving"
I have solved it by manually moving the person frame by frame so his position on the rock is the same in every frame, but this is very hard work, and also very hard to do well.
Question:; Is there a way to make PP understand that the person in layer two should be in the same position related to the rock, even if the rock is moving?
Using PP CC and have access to CC
Thank you in advance - hope you understand the question!

This is called tracking, and this is the job for a compositing application, e.g. for After Effects, rather than a non-linear editor.
In After Effects you can track objects with legacy point tracker or with Mocha, which is a separate application included with After Effects.
See this help section on point tracking and this tutorial on planar tracking in Mocha.

Select layer/object will not move in PS, but will move another layer. Need help

I appreciate the help ahead. I cannot figure this out with my Photoshop CC.
Basically when I select a layer on the right, and then go to move the object in that layer, it moves a different layer behind it.
In the screen shot below on the left I am selecting the artwork layer on the right, which is the flip flops on the shirt.
From here I can use the arrows to move the graphic. However, as soon as I use the mouse to select the flip flop graphic and go to move it, the layer selection on the right jumps to the shading and moves a background layer.
What am I doing wrong? Super frustrating!

Thanks!

You probably have Auto Select Layer on. (Options bar)

Aligning a layer relative to another layer with an Action

I was wondering if there is a way to get a layer to align itself underneath another layer.
Example:
Layer 1 is text: NEW YORK
Layer 2 is text: YANKEES
NEW YORK is where I want it at the top of the design.
YANKEES is way at the bottom.
I click on the action and it moves YANKEES to a set position right underneath NEW YORK to look like this:
NEW YORK
YANKEES
... then batch would open the next PSD file and it would repeat the process, moving BULLS underneath CHICAGO making
CHICAGO
BULLS
the align tool works fine for things like centering, moving to top, etc during an action. However, what I am trying to do in batch is align something like YANKEES underneath NEW YORK and then use a batch process to duplicate this on several designs.
HOWEVER, what ends up happening, is that the move tool action will move the layer but it remembers the original distance... in other words in the next design, CHICAGO will overlap BULLS or DODGERS will be to far away from LOS ANGELES. Because the size of the CHICAGO, NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES, etc changes.
Any help is appreciated!!!

You could use "Data Driven Graphics" and set place holders for the two text layers.
Other than that a script is your best bet. The following script will look for two text layers within the document and place the bottom text five pixels below the top text keeping them left aligned.
N.B. Only two text layers are supported.

Layer palette issue. I choose a layer and when I use move tool on that layer PSCC jumps to another layer

I am Using Photoshop CC 14.2.1x32. When I choose a layer in the layers palette and then use the move tool to re-position an element on that layer, PS forces a jump to another layer. The only way I can re-position is by using free transform on the layer I want to work on. What is happening with PS CC? Please help. About to dump CC and go back to CS 6

You might have been able to change the Auto Select option from the default Group to the usually more user friendly Layer. It's one heck of a useful feature, so get used to using it if you can. For instance, if you have a lot of layers, it can make it a lot easier just to find a particular layer in the layers panel.

How do I move or copy a shape layer's path to another layer?

i'm looking how to apply an existing vector shape from a layer to another, before it was simple as hell just by alt + drag 'n drop from a layer to another.
But now this command doesn't work anymore ? so how i can do it ? i need to simply apply a vector clipping mask to a bitmap layer or a group or just apply a shape to another vector layer (not the blending option)
why it's not anymore possible ? it was simple and easy since CS1 or 2 why have you changed that ?

It's unclear to me from your keyboard shortcuts whether you are on Windows or Mac, so here are the keyboard shortcuts for both platforms:
Command-drag (Mac)/Ctrl-drag (Win) the shape layer thumbnail to move the shape path to another layer.
Command-Option-drag (Mac)/Ctrl-Alt-drag (Win) the shape layer thumbnail to copy the shape path to another layer.
We had to make this slight change since there is no longer a separate vector mask thumbnail on shape layers.
For non-shape layers with a separate vector mask, the old keyboard shortcuts should still work for moving/copying the vector mask.

How to move objects from one transport request to another transport request

Hi Experts,
When I am changing the code I selected the wrong the transport request number. I want to move my objects into another transport request number in the same DEV and same client number. Could you please help to move these objects between the transport request numbers.
Thanks,
Chinna.

Hi Chinna,
If you need to change a transport request number, you can use TCODE SE80
Click on Repository Browser tab
Then Select the Object(s) you want to change the Transport Request number
Right Click > Other Functions > Write Transport Entry
After that you will need to specify other existing Transport Request number OR create a new transport request number (F8).
Hope this is what you are looking for.
Thanks

How do I select a color range like in Photoshop OR copy/move a layer into the mask of another layer?

Hi there,
I'm trialling Photoshop Elements and wanting to use a black and white (grey scale) layer that I've made as a mask in another layer and don't know how to do it in Elements. In Photoshop, I'd do this (there maybe a better way in PS to do it, but I haven't discovered it yet)...
Click the layer i've created that I intend to use as a mask
Select All
Copy
select layer that I want the mask to be applied to
click the Add Layer Mask button (at the bottom of the Layers window)
click the mask icon so it is highlighted (and the image isn't)
switch to Channels view
highlith the Layer Mask beneath the R,G,B layers and make it visible
Paste
make it invisible again
switch back to layers.
This works and retains the full range of transparency for semi transparency and soft edges of the mask etc.
Alternatively, I can select a Color Range, but that doesn't seem to be available in PS Elements.
So, how do I achieve the same result in PS Elements?
Thanks for your help
Jonno

Perfect! Thanks very much R_Kelly. That does exactly what I was hoping to do.
Cheers

I reopened the case for there was no fix Adobe contacted me and told me it would be fixed is some future release of Photoshop and once again case # 181675168 was closed over my objection.
I was vocal about Adobe poor excuse for support in forums. I then was contacted by Jeff Tranberry of Adobe he was asked to contact me by John Nack to see if he could change me. We exchanged some e-mails ending with Jeff writing unfortunately, you issues has been deemed low impact and has been deferred.
May 7, 2012 I called Adobe to find out if this bug was fixed in Photoshop for I did not want to buy CS6 if the Bug was not fixed. After about an hour on the phone talking to many Adobe employees including Adobe Support referenced case # 181675168 log as Bug # 2737069. I was told the bug was not in CS6. So I ordered CS6. FedX dropped off Today I installed it only to find the bug introduced is CS4 reported in CS5 is still in CS6.
Adobe when will you fix this bug # 2737069????

NOTES & RESPONSES

CS5 has a bug recording and playing Actions that add Adjustments layers. Old actions recorded before CS5 and actions recorded with CS5 may or may not Play/Work correctly.
Before there was an Adjustment Panel all Adjustment Layers were added applied to all layers and you needed to clip them after the were added if you wanted it clipped. The new adjustment panel made it possible to add a adjustment layer clipped to the current layer. However a clipping parameter is not recorded by the action recorder just the type and setting are recorded.
When a make adjustment layer step is play it is either clipped or not depending on the state of the adjustment panel's clipping icon. If it not in the same state as it was when the action was recorded it will be add incorrectly. It would also be impossible to create an action that added some adjust layer clipped and others that are not.
I feel the is a serious bug which needs to be addressed. I believe the solution is simple and even old actions will also work.
Two patches are needed.
One in the Action recorder. If the step being recorded is make adjustment layer and the adjustment panel icon state is clip to layer this needs to be recorded in the action step record. If the layer is to be applied nothing extra needs to be recorded in the step record just leave it as is like actions prior to the adjustment panel.
The second patch in the Action Player. If the step that is about to execute is a make adjustment layer. The Player needs to save away the state of the adjustment panel icon. Then check the adjustment step record to see if it is to be clipped. If so set the adjustment panel icon to the clipping state else set it to the all layers state. Then do/call the add adjustment layer function/routine on return restore the adjustment panels icon from the saved state. Proceed to the next step.
I have been trying to report the bug for days. Please at least acknowledge you received my bug report.
Thanks
JJ

I demonstrated the bug to customer support by sharing my screen.
As for you forums for some reason the forum web site states my Adobe ID is disabled so I can not append or start a thread there id screen name jjmack. I created a new Adobe ID yesterday [email protected] that to seems to be disabled or I can not come up with any screen name the is availably I have tried many.

simpler then I first thought. Upon more investigation this is what I see.
I skipped CS4 and when I installed CS5 I discovered a nasty bug had been introduced is Photoshop's Action facility most likely in CS4.
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 generate an error message if the Adjustment panel clipping icon is set to clip. Because the layer get added clipped clipping it is not available. The strange thing is the layer is clipped the way I wanted 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.

Create a one step action that add an adjustment layer that applies to all layers.
Play that action with the icon in the adjustment panel is set to apply to all layers. Change the status of that icon to clip to layer and play the action again.
You will find the first adjustment layer was added correctly apply to all layers like it was recorded the second adjustment was added clipped to layer when it should be applied to all...

July 2 Adobe support called me once again they share my display and I demonstrated the bug for a second time. This time the stated they were recording my demo. After I demonstrated the bug they put me on hold for a while. Upon returning they informed me that there was still no circumvention or fix for this problem. They wanted to know if I was at the latest software level they were still sharing my display so I did a Photoshop Help About Photoshop to show I had the latest update Photoshop version 12.0.1. Told me they were not capable of handling this problem and would have to refer this to senior technical support that they would determine if it was a bug. What a joke Adobe junior technical support can not even recognize a bug when it has been demonstrated to them on two occasions now and also received several case update from me. Adobe you need better support personal.

Hi John ,
Thank you for getting back to us.
I would like to apologize for the delay in providing you a faster resolution to your issue and appreciate your patience with us.
I would like to inform you that your issue has been logged as bug so the workaround is obviously to make sure the clip to layer is not enabled prior to running any of these actions.Also my Product Team and Engineering Team are working on this issue you can use the work around as mentioned above.
This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue.

Any work around does not solve my problem. Thousands have downloaded my actions. There is no way that I can contact them to make the aware of any work around. I can code around this bug but again I have no way to get the update to those that have downloaded my actions for they are free. All that is logged is the number of downloads. No registration is required so there is no way to contact the users that downloaded my actions. The problem will only be resolved when adobe updates Photoshop and fixes the problem.

This case should not be closed till there is a fix for this bug. How can Adobe Support close a bug report when Adobe acknowledges its a bug where Adobe Support does not provide a fix. Blowing smoke with statements like "if in the future a resolution or fix is possible, it will be available from the Adobe Systems product update web site". Photoshop CS3 work correctly Adobe broke the Action Player in CS4 and its still broken is CS5. "if a fix is possible!"!!! Are you joking? What kind of support is that? Do you get a bonus for closing bug reports without fixing the bug? Does it make you look good inside Adobe. I can tell you from the outside there is a foul stench emulation from Adobe Technical Support.

Dear John ,
Thank you for getting back to us with the required information and we appreciate your patience in helping us to resolve your issue as soon as possible.
I would suggest you to please go to through the KB document to move actions from Photoshop CS4 to CS5 given below :
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86020.html
Please make sure about the loaction of actions which you created or saved in Photoshop CS4, go to that location and make sure you have all the actions there.
Did it ever work in Photoshop CS5?
Try to make a copy of the action that he is trying to run, remove the 'Hide' command and re-record hide in PS CS5, put it into the action, and see if that works.
Or try making a short action along with Hide command . If this works, then something might have got changed between the version.

Thank You
Adobe Support Call me and told me it would be fixed in the next release of Photoshop and asked me if they could close the case. I replyed IMO that is not the proper thing to do do what you want...

I want to remove photo from one picture and move it to another. How is this done?

I would like to take a photo from one picture with a different background and move it to another photo that has better scenery for the project i am working on. How is this done?

In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

How to select and move objects on multiple layers

Coming from Photoshop... how do I move the contents of multiple layers across the page at one time?
In photoshop, i would click on one or more layesr in the Layers panel, and then use the move tool to move them all on the page. How do I do that in Fireworks? It seems to be too basic to be documented anywhere I have seen but the interaction is very different. I tried ctrl-clicking on multiple layers and sometimes is seems to work. the objects are selected and I can move them. Other times, it just refused to select anything or it only select the object within one of the selected layers.
It sort of looks like selecting a layer selects objects in that layer unless the layer has a child layer. Is that true? Seems a strange limitation if it is.
I saw a comment somewhere that suggrested grouping and ungrouping which seems a little complicated for a basic editing action. Also, if it won't select the objects on all of the selected layers.
I'm guessing that I'm missing a basic concept in Fireworks here.

I found that It worked if I selected a layer, if there is a child layer
then shift>select and ctr+click other layers or objects. You could also
lock layers/objects you don't want to move and use Select>Select All, if
you are moving most items.

Actions- move object to another layer
