Centering with layers problem

I have a problem centering a layer that has an image with
relative positioning. I've replicated this phenomena with some
basic code to make it easy to convey:
I would like to position a layer with an image that is
horizontally center to the page regardless of the screen
resolution. I created a div tag called "layer1" with the
appropriate descriptors below. This "appears" to center the image,
but when I take my pencil and measure the left and right of the red
box, it is clear that there are different measurements. When I
center text just above the centered image, it is immediately
apparent that the jpeg is not totally in the center. I've tried
looking at it in 800x600 and higher resolutions, all with the same
results.
This is a big deal since the more complicated code where I am
trying to center the layer with the image offsets images to where
the entire page looks jumbled.
I've attached the html code so you can see what I am doing.
The image is just a red box that I made with GIMP.
Can anyone see my error?

> regardless of the screen resolution
Just so you'll know, this is NOT a resolution issue. It's a
browser
viewport width issue. The same page will look the same on
*any* resolution
screen as long as the browser viewport is the same width in
pixels on all
screens.
Put a border around your "pseudo-layer" (it's not a layer)
and you'll see
that it is in fact completely centered on all browser widths
on any
resolution screen.

Problems after transfering Cost centers with LSMW

Hi,
I have a problem after transfering Cost Centers with LSMW.
The first Batch input run created all cost centers in one CC Group erroneously - cause they should be placed in different CC groups.
I changed LSMW settings and made another batch input run - now the Cost centers were created in proper groups. I think that I deleted all CC's created in previous batch input run, but now I am not too sure, because there is a problem...
Cost centers exist both in their proper groups and in the one group mentioned by me before. So there is such situation that Cost center appears in Standar hierarchy twice at the same time.
When I delete cost centers - they are removed from their proper groups but the CC entry remains in that one group - all CC are there inactive.
How can I get rid of them. I tried deleting them - but it's impossible - the system doesn't see them.
When I run the batch input again - the same cost centers appear in proper groups and at the same time they become active in the one group. The standard hierarchy group is not UNIQE.
Please advice me how to delete these entries from standard hierachy.
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi,
Always recommended before loading into live system: upload in test system and check. check again just to make sure all is correct before real load.
In your case you probably would have been best to do a group change after incorrect upload.
Do Ambiguity check in stadnard hierarchy to explore all incorrect entries. Depending on your version yo ucan change in that function (ECC6) ore need to run a report. Before running the report check that CC master records have correct entry. The report is RKCORRH1
Again, try in QA first and run in Test Run
Good luck

A Problem with Layers

I am having a problem with layers in different browsers. I
have a menubar with some drop-down items. Some of these need to
fall over other page objects such as GIFs. The problem is that in
order for that to render correctly in IE, I have to set the z-index
of the GIF to -1. However a GIF set to -1 doesn't render at all in
Netscape. If I set the z-index to 0 it works fine in Netscape but
not in IE. Has anyone dealt with this problem???

Ugh. You are in deep doody.
Your only option now is to hack mm_menu.js, and change all
instances of -
z-index="1"
to -
z-index="99"
But - perhaps it would help if you read what the 'author' of
that menu code
(he adapted it, actually) says about the menus -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
In addition, this page will show you the potential problem of
building with
only layers -

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
http://www.adobe.com
Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

Working with layers with centered page

Is it possible to work with layers (Draw Layer) when you want
your site to
be centered. So far I´ve worked with centered (middle)
Layout Table, but
then I have to work with Laoyt Cells - i.e. I cannot use
layers.

Of course you can use layers with tables. Just work in
Standard mode, not
layout mode to do that. And please take the time to learn
about layers
before you use them -

On each of your pages you need to add the class="thispage" to your anchor tags.
So the 'About Me' page link looks like below:
<li><a href="About Me.html" class="thispage">About Me</a></li>
'The Gallery' link on the 'Gallery' page looks like this:
<li><a href="The Gallery.html" class="thispage">The Gallery</a></li>
Do the same for the 'Studio Work' and 'Contact Us' pages.

They are all quite a subtle grey tone but the one I cannot see is on the 'About Me' page. You just need to bring the grey tone up a few stops.

Help with Layers

Hi,
I need some help with Layers? Here is a link to a simple page
layout with 1 blue table, and 1 small green box. Both have a
capital "I" on the left. The table was aligned to "center" in DW.
http://sfrcreations.com/tbe.html
When I built this page at home, on my tiny 12" monitor, the
letters lined up over each other. When I look at it on larger
monitors, they no longer line up. I did have a suspicion that this
would happen due to my lack of knowledge of layers. So, my question
is. How does one, with a centered table, get a layer to always
appear where the designer wants it to no matter what the browser
size is. For instance if you move the browser to different sizes,
the blue box follows, but the layer stays where it is?
Are the menus on this forum site and the Adobe site in
general done by using layers? I ask, because if so, this site is
centered, and the layers seem to adjust to any browser size.
By the way, I am using Dreamweaver 8.
Thanks for any help!

8). I'm a shameless thief.

Frustrated with layers

I know this is so simple but I can't get it to work. what I want is to have a plain background color with either a picture over that is faint or a pattern that is lighter these are not the focal points then i want to add a few photos but would like to feather or rough up the edges so they don;t ;look like i just dropped them in and maybe a some other graphic like an animal or flames etc. and some text. please any help would be great. thank you in advance. Susan

Since you mention being frustrated with layers, I assume you are having problems getting several images into the same document.
Start by reading through this tutorial which shows how to open and get more than one image into a document.
http://www.alibony.com/pse/070308copy.html
You might also find some useful info on this page...top part anyway.

Use opacity in the layer's palette to reduce this image or pattern's transparency.

One way would be to use this layer in a clipping mask...also known as a clipping group. See this tutorial on clipping masks/groups that includes several ways types of bases.

Susan
Personally, I prefer using a solid color fill adjustment layer as the base in the clipping mask. (You'll find this option in the layer's palette under the black and white icon. It'll be one of the options in the menu list.) Drag out the rectangular marquee in the mask of the solid color fill adjustment layer. With the mask layer selected in the layers palette, fill it with black paint. Invert the mask (ctrl + I on PC; cmd + I if on a mac). You can use the free transform command (Ctrl + T on PC; Cmd + I on Mac) to resize the masked area.
Some edge techniques...
If you desire to soften the edge, apply the gaussian blur filter. If you want a spattered edge, apply the spatter or sprayed edges filter to the mask...can also try using other filters that work in grayscale which will be the only ones not grayed out. (Note: You could apply the filter(s) to the rectangle first then invert the mask if you prefer). Another method is to use the brush tool and paint in the mask...thick heavy brush set is a good choice. (Note: Use black paint to hide (the image); white paint to reveal (the image); and gray will be semi-transparent (think feathering).
Edit: You don't have to use the rectangular marquee...can use circular or any selection for that matter.
Info on the type tool can be found here.

You'll most likely want to have your type in the topmost layer(s) of the stack in the layers palette so you don't cover them up with your images. Use move tool to move graphics and type into desired location. You'll find using the grids and/or guides useful in planning out your image.
There's a video on using a scrabook kit (Quick Page) here that might be useful as it shows how things are stacked when building a page:

For the transform command (resize and rotate), she's using Ctrl + T on PC (cmd + T if on mac) instead of using the menu Edit<Free Transform. I thought I'd add that so you don't get lost with how she's doing that.
Another tutorial on using quick pages:
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/digitalscrapbooking/ss/howtoquickpage_10.htm
I think there might be some of these included with Elements. I don't have a recent version of Elements so I'm not 100% sure where they are located but I'm thinking it's in the Organizer.

Building Websites with Layers

I have had many problems in building websites with layers,in
particular with Template Changes , I take it that Tables are a more
reliable and better method then using Layers , my concern are that
Tables from what I can see are not as easy to position and when I
go into Layout mode and Try adding table cells I cannot put a Table
cell at the Top of the screen , there is allways a small gap that
leaves a White bar at the top of my website.
So what are the Best Methods .?. Use Frames to dive up your
page then use tables for the majority of the content with the
occasional layer.?.

These two are not related. Poor development methods will
break in new and
confusing ways at the drop of a pin, with no causal
relationship between the
two.
> I take it that Tables are a more reliable and better
method
Tables are not more reliable, and they are sometimes a better
way of doing
certain layout requirements. Layers are a poor method to use
for layer
period.
> So what are the Best Methods
Learn HTML and learn tables and learn CSS. There are no magic
wands here.
You are stuck in this 'layers/frames/tables' mentality. Leave
that at the
door.

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,

PHOTOSHOP WITH LAYERS

i have read a lot of comments about how aperture handles photoshop files with layers. there seams to be quite some confusion.
how does aperture lose photoshop layers...
the answer is as simple and easy as it is annoying:
aperture imports photoshop files with layers just fine (check filesize or open the lib to varify. it's all there). however, as aperture treats every import as a new master, it will create a copy of the master before it opens it in photoshop. while doing so, aperture "expects" the master to be "just a photo" and therefore copies only the underlaying (combined) layer of the photoshop file. you end up with a flattened file in ps.
once this is done, you can open the file (your version) in ps and add layers. save it and they will be ok (and remain) in aperture. open the file again from aperture and all layers are ok. why? because aperture doesn't create another copy of it, it treats this (real new) file "only" as a version.
here's the problem:
if you have a gazillions of photos with layers like i do, you can import them into aperture but never access the existing layers anymore. you might ask: why would you want to do that anyway, just flatten them? simple answer: all curves, colour adjustments etc are used as layer settings, keeping the "original" photos untouched. call it "photoshop" versioning if you want. so it makes a lot of sense actually.
meta date
another major problem is that aperture doesn't allow changes to the most basic tags such as date, camera type, iso/asa etc. what about those 300'000+ photos from the archive, shot with "boring old" 35mm and middle format? being able to set some of the most basic data is a essential features i would have expected from a "pro" app!
apple: i'm generally a big fan of your products, but this time you really stress our "love-relationship" a lot! let us ps users treat files like adults (so we decide if we want to edit the master or not). allow to edit meta data. and for all the non-american users (yes, there is some secret land outside of the us, surprise!) change the keyboard shortcuts. and for those users who can only affort one bigger screen, allow them to use it (meaning, use the browser on a second smaller screen) or simply call it "switch monitors" if you like. and of course - dear aperture: if you create a "version" from the master, make it a "true" copy, not a flattened one. that would make all the difference.
(note: if my english *****, that's just fine, i'm just a 1.0 first release! or in non-apple-terms: a swiss guy with limited english)

aperture imports photoshop files with layers just fine (check filesize or open

as a new master, it will create a copy of the master before it opens it in
photoshop. while doing so, aperture "expects" the master to be "just a photo"
and therefore copies only the underlaying (combined) layer of the photoshop
file. you end up with a flattened file in ps.
OK I think I'm getting it, thanks. I think I'm a pretty bright guy but I'm having issues keeping track of all this Master/Version stuff in Aperture (probably because it's not easy to know which is which).
So if I have this correct, here's the way it works:
1. RAW files (the primary reason I'm playing with Aperture).
You start with a RAW master. It can't be altered anyway (by Aperture or any other RAW converter). However, you need to end up with a rendered color file (the role of a converter). When you do this and ask for the image to end up in Photoshop, you get a version. If you add layers while in Photoshop to this file, saving back in Aperture provides yet another version with layers or it's flattened? I'm assuming you end up with a new version (the 2nd) and this has layers. If you want to access it, you're going to have to do this outside of Aperture otherwise, opening from within Aperture (open with external editor) will produce a flattened new copy (version). Is that correct?
2.Existing PSD files with layers.
You import a file into Aperture with layers because you want to use the DAM features of Aperture. The file has layers and they remain intact but should you wish to edit it FROM Aperture, the file you get will be a copy and it will be flattened (because Aperture doesn't want to mess with the original). Correct?
IF you export the master (PSD with layers) file, you get your original file with layers. But if you alter it in Photoshop to keep layers intact, and you want to bring it back into Aperture, you'll end up with a new Master (again with layers intact). So you have this kind of round-robin where the original master, layered PSD can be accessed but if any alterations take place from Aperture, the original is left alone but the version is flatted.
Seems what we need/want is an option to take the Master out of Aperture, edit it and have it reinserted back into the Aperture library in such a way that it replaces the original (something Aperture tries not to do).
once this is done, you can open the file (your version) in ps and add layers.
save it and they will be ok (and remain) in aperture. open the file again from
aperture and all layers are ok. why? because aperture doesn't create another
copy of it, it treats this (real new) file "only" as a version.
So here I'm not clear. When you say open your version in PS, is this using the Export or Open with command? Export should provide a layered file since you're asking for the Master right? Open With creates a copy yes?

Working with layers from InDesign to Acrobat

Hi, I'm currently creating a fairly large pdf document for a client which has pop-up effect windows in Acrobat. The artwork is created in InDesign and the file is exported as an interactive pdf with layers. In Acrobat I then make these 'pop-ups' visible then invisible when hovered over/moved away from respectively. I was at the finished stage, all interactive elements that couldn't be set in InDesign had been meticulously added in Acrobat. Twice now, however, my client has made a small change to one of the pages that has several of these layer effects on it and each time I replace the page in Acrobat I have to re-do all the interactive parts. My question is: Is there a way you can replace a page in Acrobat and retain the layer interactivity that existed on the original, outgoing page? It seems impossible as whether I delete the page first and insert the new one in its place, or alternatively do a straightforward 'replace', the outgoing page's layers are deleted with the page and the incoming page's layers come in - but with none of the interactivity. I have to set it all up again. Bear in mind these are interactive events that can only be set up in Acrobat, not in InDesign, and I suspect that's where the problem lies. The new completely wipes out the old. Does anyone have any advice on a work-around for this - or should I just go and open the wine early, take a deep breath and re-do all the interactivity for the third time? Many thanks for your time, whether the news is good or bad

If you need the black text to wind up on a separate printing plate from the black in the 4-color images, you will need to create a spot black, and set all your text (and table rules that will change) into that spot black.
I use this method to keep the pricing in my catalog separate, so I can print one version with prices, and one without.

Erratic behavior with Photoshop with layers

Hello All
I am writing for a friend of mine (here in Italy) who has not been able to resolve some major problems with his computer. I specified photoshop above as he generally on uses this program (he is a professional photographer), but it does appear to be a software problem. He has already changed his graphic card (Radeon 9600 Pro), so this is not the problem.
I will try to summarize his problems (problems which have happened since he bought his computer two years ago):
1. When he uses layers in photoshop, and only with layers, sometimes a channel is randomly moved and transformed into the complementary color. Although this happens in all three channels it is more prevalent in one of the channels. He is using CS2 (original), but had the same problem with CS1.
2. there are also red pixels randomly on the files (this too, though, is sporadic)
3. when he prints, he can go through the entire day of printing and all of the sudden one of the pictures will have a problem (and that problem will continue until he restarts the printer). His printer is an Epson 4000. The motherboard in this printer has also been changed.... two times!
Do you think that this is a problem with reading and writing?
He has reinstalled the system more than once, and now the problem is worse than it has ever been. While at the beginning it happened once in a great while, now these problems are getting worse and he is seriously worried about ruining his files (that he needs, obviously, for his work). Here in Italy he hasn't been able to find anyone who can fix these problems. As a photographer you can imagine how important it is for him to not have a reliable means to work on his photos.
If any of you have advice we would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
