Brushes and Actions

I have an action that uses a brush. The brush is saved in a custom pallet I made and is not in the standard brush pallet.
So my problem is when I use the action for the first time in the opened document (not a new document - I never work with a new doc for this action) the action will not apply the brush. I have figured out that the brush needs to be in the brush pallet for the action to work not in my custom brush pallet.
So how can I get the action to use the brush from my custom pallet?
If that's not possible how do I add the brush to the standard brush pallet for a preexisting doc?

It's not possible to use it directly from custom library palettes. A workaround is to include a Paste command inside the action, that is, you copy an object to which the brush is applied to the clipboard, then run the action(s) which have that Paste command. After executing the Paste command, there should also be a Delete step to remove the pasted object.

  • Brushes and Actions PSE 12 or 13

    Can I install Brushes and Actions to PSE 12 or 13?

    Hi paperinvite,
    Yes, there is an option to Load brushes/ actions exported from PSE.
    a) For Brushes, it is in fly out menu of Brush preset picker. I am attaching the snapshot for the same.
    b) Similarly, for Actions it is in the flyout menu of Actions panel.
    Hope this is the information you were looking for. Let me know if this helps!

  • Setting up Custom Brushes and ToolSets

    I created a custom panel using  configurator.  In that custom panel I created a pop-up panel button, but  the pop-up panel button doesn't trigger a pop up panel ? I want the pop  up panel to have two tabs one to save custom brushes and custom tool  settings, and those panels which save custom tool brushes and custom  tool settings, saved with the custom panel.
    The results is  the custom tool panel that I created with the custom pop-up can be  loaded into photoshop as a extension with the custom tool brushes and  custom tool settings along with it, so it's not tied directly within  photoshop but rather with the extension, I hope I made myself clear.

    Hi,
    When you export Configurator panel to photoshop, it will generate a file named "untitle-1.mxi", this is the Extension Manager package template.
    Open it with a text editor you will see this piece of XML
        <files>
            <file source="content" destination="$panels/untitled-1"/>
        </files>
    I think you can add something like these:
    <file source="mybrushes" destination="$brushes"/>
    <file source="mytools" destination="$tools"/>
    The full list of the predefined variables can be found in file c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Configuration\XManConfig.xml

  • HELP! Lightroom Crashes Only with Adjustment Brush and only when using HDMI output!

    This is very frustrating. I use my Acer N56V laptop to teach Lightroom workshops. I use a 32 inch television as a display. When I have my laptop attached with an HDMI cable and try to use Lightroom's adjustment brush, it crashes. Either the screen and computer just shuts down or I get the Blue Screen of Death. I can do anything else! I can edit in Photoshop, do anything else in Lightroom or even Silver EFX Pro. I can even click on the adjustment brush. But the minute the brush hits the photo (and not before), the computer crashes. If I don't have it attached to the HDMI or if I use a Serial cable, no issues. It's only the adjustment brush and only the HDMI output.
    I called Adobe and they said it was because my onboard video card was primary and not the Nvidia. I called Acer and they said it's auto detect. I also tried making the Nvidia card primary and it still happened. Any ideas???

    You have switched the overlay mask to always show. Fortunately, it's easy fixed i.e. tap the O key. Shift+O will cycle the overlay through various colours
    Other Adjustment Brush and Graduate Filter shortcuts and modifiers are listed them below:
    Open Adjustment Brush - K
    Open Gradient Tool - M
    Show/hide Pin - H
    Always Show - Shift + Cmd/Ctrl+H
    Show Selected/Never Show - Shift+H
    To increase Amount - Right Arrow
    To decrease Amount - Left Arrow
    To increase/decrease brush size -  ] / [
    To increase/decrease feather - Shift+] / Shift+[
    Set Flow Amount - Number Keys
    To commit  and/or start new a brush stroke or gradient - Enter / Return
    To delete the selected pin - Delete
    Holding down - Alt/Option key activates erase mode
    Toggle Auto Mask On/Off - A
    Pressing O toggles on/off the overlay
    Shift+O cylces through alternative colours for overlay
    To constrain gradient to vertical/horizontal  - hold down Shift plus drag
    To invert the gradient - '
    To scale from center - Alt/Option plus drag

  • Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" - I have read and action the KB - no fix

    So before we start - I have read the KB (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding) and actioned the advice on how end the processes, delete the parental lock, etc. This gives a temporary but one time only fix and does not resolve the overall issue.
    I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the application.
    So why do I get the Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding"?

    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
    Note that in Firefox 13+ (expected to be released June 5) the parent.lock file is no longer deleted after closing Firefox to make it possible to check for startup crashes, so the presence of that file will in the future no longer indicate a problem.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Import of XML file failed in portal using XML Content and Action

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to import the simple XML file which is just creating the folder in the PORTAL_CONTENT using XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS  which is one way of creating the portal content. GO TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION > TRANSPORT > XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS > IMPORT.

  • Pass parameter through standard page "import xml content and actions"

    Dear Portal experts,
    As you know, a standard portal page is configured to allow the import of XML file. It is located in the portal in the path system admin -> transport -> xml content and actions -> import
    I configured a quick link u201Cimportu201D to the page so now the link http://myserver:port/irj/portal/import allows me to access directly to this screen.
    What I would like to do now is to pass the parameter related to u201Cfile nameu201D through this screen meaning that I would like that http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/filename=C:\test.xml  fills automatically the fields u201CXML fileu201D with  C:\test.xml 
    Please do you know how to achieve this ?
    Thank you very much and regards

    hi,
    @Maksim :
    When user launch an URL like http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/*filename=C:\test.xml, he is requested to provide username and password; as this link is a shortcut for the upload xml page, there is a check of authorization and only portal admin that have authorization and permission on this page/iview will be able to upload xml file through the URL. Hope this clarify.
    @Kumar :
    thank you for your answer. What a pity to not be able to pass parameter through standard portal page/iview particularly knowing that we can pass paramater through many kinds of iviews (transactional iview, url iview, VC iview...). I explored some option on file com.sap.portal.ivs.init.par but this was unsuccessful. However, thanks to this [link bellow|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ComponenttouploadXMLfilewithPCD+objects], I was able to upload through URL the XML file.
    The problem is that I can upload only XML file that are stored in the server not in the local user computer. My requirement is to be able to upload local XML file stored on user's computer.
    If someone could provide and idea/solution, I would be very grateful.
    Cheers

  • Can't get brushes and swatches to sync, only settings/workspaces.  (Win7 and Win8.1, latest photoshop)

    I have Photoshop CC 2014 installed and updated on a Win7 machine and a Win8.1 machine.  When I go to edit>preferences>sync settings, everything is checked, but it seems that only my workspace settings get uploaded.  It never seems to transfer my swatches or brushes.  They are stored in the default location and show up in the brush and swatch menus.

  • Variables and Actions in Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro

    Hello Gurus,
    I have been searching different forums around the net for three days, so I am really frustrated since I cant find anything related to this, and I am even thinking if this is really possible.
    I'll try to explain what I wanted to make. I am using Captivate 4 and publishing my content through Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server. I want to use this "Variables and Actions" Feature of my current version of Captivate. Now, I want that when my user open a training which she is enrolled with, I want her name to appear on the content, like "Hello Irish" something like that, without requiring her to log on her name. How could I make use this variables and actions in captivate 4 to get automatically the "first-name" variable of my user in Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro of my user?
    Is this possible guys?
    Thanks.
    Troy

    Hi,
    I am looking at Connect Pro right now, and as I can see it on its default page it displays the name and lastname of the logged user, moreover, there is a part where you could either invite existing user, or create existing user, as mentioned in this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AcrobatConnectPro/7.5/Using/WS5C856274-D671-4665-9CD0-29868C89 60F2.html so I am thinking If maybe there could be a way where I can retrieve the "first-name"of the user through Variables and Actions of Captivate. Since I am trying to avoid prompting the user to type in their first names, I wish to do automatically, that is if it possible.
    Thanks.

  • Adding brushes and symbols to Illustrator CS4

    I'm fairly new to Illustrator, though a long time Photoshop user, and I want to add some vectors I've downloaded from 123freevectors.  (I'm on a Mac)
    In Photoshop, I had no problem adding new brushes from other sources by just dropping them in Presets > Brushes folder.
    I tried doing the same with Illustrator by dropping downloaded vectors to Presets > Symbols.  Although they showed up in the library listing, the symbols were not correct.  Ditto by dropping them in Presets > Brushes. 
    How do I load new brushes and symbols, and how do I know which library to put them in when what I've downloaded is just described as vectors with extension of .ai  (some are .eps)
    Thanks!

    Plac3en the file in a document when it is placed in the document drag the art into the symbols panel same for the brushes panel and there you will have a choice of what kinfd of brush ou wish to make, you can also drag ity into the watches pamel to make a pattern fill. Y^ou can save the swattchges, bvrushes nd symbols as libraries for use in the future.
