Can I export PSD layers to PSD files like I could do in ImageReady 2?

Hi Folks,
I've been chasing this Layer Export Nirvana for a couple of years now but I've got nowhere.
In ImageReady 2 I could import a PSD file and export layers with exactly the name I used for each layer (with no annotations, prefixes or suffixes), with the entire file size (not cropped to the edge of the image) in a PSD format.
The script in Photoshop adds extenions to the file name that I can't see how to turn off.
I've tried a couple of free (SciptsRus) and commercial (Ferry) scripts but they don't seem to work with my version of Photoshop (Mac CS5 OS X 10.7.4). Is this a result of the recent Javascript updates with Mac OS X 10.7? I'll contact the authors of these scripts next and see what they say.
I tried a PC program called Super Layer which exports to PNG files and almost was what I wanted except it cropped the file size to the size of the image. I could get away with this I suppose if I copied a 1% single pixel into each corner of the file but that would be time consuming for all the layers I need to export (500-600) and means I'd have to rasterise the type layers which is also double handling.
I've even tried Graphic Converter on a Mac but can't get that to quite work. I end up with solid white backgrounds and no transparency.
All I want is to open a PSD file (preferably on Mac OS) and export each layer at the same size on a transparent background with just the name of the layer as the file name as a PSD file. I'll alos accept .PNG format as well as long as I get transparency and full file size. Just like we could do with brilliant effeiciency with ImageReady CS2. I've actually kept an old version of ImageRady on my PC for just this purpose but surely in the 21st Century there is a way around this?
Many thanks in anticipation for any help offered.

Sorry to hear that you are having problems with some of the scripts. Normally this is due to the prefferences becoming corrupt. They can be trashed to see if all then works..

I have also written a new script yesterday that includes adjustments layers if the exist, so that may work for you?

How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) for Windows 8 is a relatively new product, which was introduced in December 2012. Adobe Reader XI, X, or older is a completely separate product - a traditional desktop app with classic UI. The desktop version has been available in the market for 20 years (!!) and it does not share any common components with Adobe Reader Touch.
Adobe Reader Touch does not support page (view) rotation yet.
For Windows 8, you can download and install Adobe Reader XI from the link below.

For Windows RT, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer), instead.

EDiscovery_SharePoint 2013_How can I export to a location on SP like a team site ?

Hi everyone,
I am working on eDiscovery. How can I export to a location on SP like a team site ? I can only one seem to export locally .

The point of eDiscovery export is to export all the content in a transportable package that can be given to the opposing counsel in a litigation. There is no reason to export it to SP. If the people who need access to it have access to SP they
don't need the export.

Line exports as flat PSD file. Can I export as layered file? If not, Will this be introduced later?

Adobe Line app exports the bottom "imported" background and the working layer together as a flat psd file. How can I separate the imported or blank white layer and just export the working layer? Preferably I would like to export both layers in a layered psd file.

How can I export a smallformat flatten PDF-file with transparant parts in?

My post on a PDF - more clear with images (english):
http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf
Deze post in nederlandstalige versie:
http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-nl.pdf
Scope?
I'dd like to export an Indesign-file (.indd) to a PDF-file that has to be:
- the smallest possible file size
- which displays images and text sharp on the screen
- which also certainly remain transparent parts of .psd-files after exporting
- that is flattened for easy print
The problem?
▪ How and with which of settings can I export such a file from InDesign 5.0?
▪ If necessary in combination with some settings (after exporting) in our Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
Further explanation
The export file contains lots of text, graphics, photographs and drawings. Many of these items are .psd-files that contain transparent areas. The intention is that this transparent parts actually remain transparent even after exporting/flattening /decreasing the PDF.
▪ With InDesign 5.0?
→ In the window Export Adobe PDF: (images see: http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf )
Should I start from a default PDF preset   (if yes > which one??)
Possibilities are: High Quality Print / PDFX-1a: 2001 / PDFX-3:2002 / PDFX-4:2007 / Press Quality / Smallest File Size
Or is it better to create a PDF preset on my own?     (if yes > which settings??)
Standard > PDF/X-format?
Compatibility > PDF-version?
Compression > If artwork should be compressed and downsampled, and if so,
                        which method and settings to I have to use ?
Ouput > How can I control colors and PDF/X output intent profiles in the PDF-file?
Advanced > How can I control fonts, OPI specifications, transparency flattening, and JDF instructions are
                  in the PDF file?
▪ With Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
→ How can I reduce the file size extra, so more reducing after exporting into PDF ?
→ How can I flatten the exported file (if not done during the export) ?
!! Important, when I export/reduce/flatten the file, I ‘dd like that the parts of images who were transparent before, stays also transparent after !!
WHAT CAN I DO ??

Hello,
I'm sorry you're having trouble. Unfortunately, this forum is for the ExportPDF service of Acrobat.com. The ExportPDF service functions as a PDF to *.docx file convertion and we can't help with problems specific to the desktop version of Acrobat or InDesign. I'm happy to point you in the right direction.

Can you export a Quick Time REFERENCE file from Final Cut Pro X?

Used to be in FCP-7, you could export your timeline and at the bottom of the Export dialog box, there was a check box where you could check "Make the movie self-contained," which would export a full Quick Time .mov file, or you could UNCHECK that box and FCP would export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (referencing the source media used within the timeline), which you could then bring in to any one of a number of different encoding apps.
I prefer to use Sorenson Squeeze to do my encoding, as it's much, much faster than Compressor and has infinitely more format options (Flash, Windows Media, Real, etc., etc.).
But now, I don't see a way to export a Quick Time Reference file from the Final Cut Pro timeline, er, uh, storyline, er, uh, project.
Anybody know if there's a way to export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (not a full Quick Time .mov)?

I do the same thing with Final Cut Express, actually. Only I then open the reference file up in QuickTime Pro and re-export it to an h.264 mp4. I can do that multiple times in the background vs. getting caught up in Final Cut's pathetically non-threaded user interface when it's saving/exporting.
I was going to ask the exact same question here, but you beat me to it. And so far it sounds like the answer is "no" ... :-(

I'm new to soundtrack pro 2, could I export my audio files including the video?

Export -> Master Mix - choose the File Type -> *Using Compressor*, this will give you options for re-encoding or preserving the video file.

Can Lightroom export a layered TIFF?

I have hundreds of layered PSDs that I need to convert to Tiffs but need to maintain the Layers inherent in the orginal PSDs. Will LR4 export do that or do I need to create an action in PS CS6 to do it

If you want to use TIFF ZIP Image and ZIP Layer compression see my post #3 at the above link. Rob Cole's Relative Antics plugin should do the PSD to TIFF LR Develop settings Sync for you. If not send him a PM.

How can I export or convert to AVI file for use on PC?

I know I did this back in Jan 2009 but can't remember the process to get an AVI file that retains the sound. I thought I exported a SWF and then somehow converted it to an AVI.
*The file:*
*Retains sound, builds and movement.*
*Automatically advances, using "control p" to pause (did not retain the click-to-advance feature).*
I've been reviewing third party software but they seem to all state that the won't retain the sound/builds etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The simplest way is to export as QT and then open the QT using Quick Time Player. If you've got pro you can export as .avi.
There are videos on youtube showing you how to upgrade to QT Pro for free...

I can't export my movie because a file is missing, how can I find it?

I've spent ages making a movie and now it says cannot export because a movie file cannot be found. I have no idea what file this is! It says it is called 'Trim 1' but this doesn't appear to be any of my movie files. I did have some problems importing some movie files which then wouldn't show up - could this be the problem? And it says that without this file, the movie cannot play properly! How can I identify this file and delete it?

many thanks, that's perfect.
it tells me that the feature i am trying to us is on a network resource that is unavaiable. click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package. 'iTunes64msi' in the box below.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.

New to Soundbooth....How can I export audio from a .flv file?

Hi,
I am sorta new to SB. My girlfriend has purchased a study program that has numerous .flv files on a DVD. She has asked if I can take the audio and convert each movie to an .mp3, (so that she can listen to the videos on her Iphone). I figured I could open them in SB and then export as an .mp3, which would work fine on her Iphone.
The problem I run into is that when I open the .flv files in SB, the video appears, but the audio doesnot. The .flv videos play fine in every other program. Am I doing something wrong? I figure since she purchased the DVDs (and owns the study program), that I am not doing anything illegal by removing the audio. Are they encrypted?
Any other way to do this?
Thanks,
G

Use the Share menu. Choose Export Using QuickTime.
Choose Sound to AIFF.

I can't export to DivX and XVID files

Hi all,
although I have installed the DivX and XVID Codecs, iMovie 08 (7.1.4) won't show me the Option to export Video with these codecs. If I choose to export with Quicktime, the only options I can choose are:
3G, Apple TV, AVI, Bildsequenz, DV Stream, FLC, iPhone, iPod, MPEG4, QuickTime Film, AIFF, AU, Wave
I also cannot import a XVID avi file to iMovie, although the Quicktime Player plays it allright. Did I understand anything wrong or should both work? What's going wrong?
My preferred workflow would be:
1.) Import AVCHD Files from my Panasonic HDC SD5 Camera in HD Quality
2.) Cut it with iMovie 08
3.) Export the new Video to either a DivX or XVid HD avi-File.
What can I do to get this working? I am using Mac OS X 10.5.4 on a Macbook 2,4 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM.

iMovie '08 can import the AVCHD-Files from my camcorder, but cannot export the result in Xvid or DivX?
Yes it does.
I want to have the possibility to do a little more editing than I could do in QuickTime Pro. So what would be the suggested workflow for me without buying other software? Something like this?
What you can do is:
1) let iMovie '08 import the AVCHD to a an iMovie '08 Event Folder,
2) open the iMovie '08 Event Folder AIC/AIFF files in iMovie HD,
3) edit in iMovie HD,
4) and export the edited iMovie HD project as XviD or DivX.
Any editing done in iMovie '08 is done "by reference" and does not exist as a physical rendered file until or unless you output your iMovie '08 project by sharing or exporting. To do so is to simply go from one intermediate file to another which I assume is what you want to avoid. If you want to avoid this, simply open the AIC/AIFF file directly in iMovie HD as an HD project (AIC/AIFF files import as AIC/AIFF).

Novice with GarageBand: Can I export completed podcast as m4a file?

Hello
Can you help me?
I thought I could create a .m4A file from GarageBand, but I can't find a way to do that.
Is it possible? How do I do that? I'm on a MacBook, OS X 10.7.5 and GarageBand 6.0.5
Many thanks for looking and hopefully being able to answer this question.
Jennie

First of all, GarageBand is an amzing tool to record/prepare your enhanced podcast with all the artwork, chapters, etc.
You export your finished podcast the same way you would export a song.
You do that in from the Share Menu. Be careful, because the menu items are dynamic,whihc mean they change depending what is currently selected in your Project. Make sure you have the Podcast Track visible. This changes the "Send Song to iTunes..." to "Send Podcast to iTunes..."
On the next page, select Compress using AAC. That creates an .m4a file during the export.
Hope that helps

How can I export metadata to a csv file in CS4?

Help please, I used Workflow Automation Scripts on CS3 but it doesn't seem to work on CS4.

OK,
after combing through these posts and trying various 'solutions' I have found that the Barred Rock export metadata script is the only one I have been able to get to work in CS4, kinda. It is a superior script to the original workflow automation script that edo75 refers to, as it does not seem to have the comma issue encountered by jesse and others, where if there are any commas in your metadata it creates a new column and your excel file becomes nonsensical and disorganized. There is a way to avoid this by the way, simply by opening a new file in excel and importing the csv file as text, you then tell excel to read the data the right way by selecting various delimiter combinations. It is not a perfect solution but I have found that by doing this it places most of my metadata in the proper columns, and I end up doing a minimal amount of editing. The barred rock version, which I assume is a modified version of the original script available from adobe as the interface is exactly the same, does not seem to have this issue with commas at all, I am unsure why. If B. Stucky is still reading these posts he may be able to answer, as I think he wrote this script?
Anyhow I was able to get the script to load in CS4 and then I had to tweek the script to recognize my custom metadata schema, which I was able to do. Now however there is an issue with it recognizing the actual metadata in the image files. I suspect it is a mynamespace issue, that is, I do not have the right path for it to locate the actual metadata for export.
here is where I suspect the problem lay, where this "http://NPSAlaskaImageStandard" is incorrect.
new MdNs.MetadataNamespace( "NPS Alaska Image Standard", "http://NPSAlaskaImageStandard", "NPSAlaskaImageStandard" );
I am a total novice with this stuff so this may not be it at all, however this is my best guess, anyone know the answer?
