Change layer content in Photoshop CS4

Where it is!?
I search and I search but I don't find it.
Someone can help me?

>And why there is still no dithering option for layer effects?
I'm not sure what relevance this would have for dynamically created effects. By all means, those effects are calculated at the native document bit depth with correct blending, so what would be the point of artificially introducing another level of dithering? This really only has relevance for final rasterization, so I don#t see a requirement for this. If you do:

They do. You just have to understand that software development isn't a wishing well where everyone gets his favorite feature. if a feature does not benefit a majority of users or is not requested by a large number of them, then you certainly can imagine that this ends up being very low on the popularity list. and, specific to the matter at hand: As J. Nack probably would put it, you sometimes have to let go of legacy stuff to make room for a better, more generalized implementation in the future, even if it means that in a particular version the feature goes completely defunct and is "skipped".

What happened to Change Layer Content?

This question is related to Photoshop Elements 10.
Photoshop Elements 5.0 had the command "Change Layer Content" under the "Layers" menu. It would allow me to select from solid colors, gradients and patterns in shapes (rectangles, circles, or pre-made shapes. I used it a lot but I don't see it in this new version of Photoshop! What happened to that command? Is there some new command to replace it that I just don't see because I am really having a difficult time locating it!

I have some actions i made for elements to do that if your interested.
You can do it without actions, but it's far from convenient.

Change layer content

Been using pse3, trying pse9 (need to upgrade for new mac).
What happened to change layer content and how do you change
a shape layer to a pattern or gradient (transparent gradient)?
Thanks for your time.

Here's what i'm trying to do in pse9.
The first example is a shape layer changed to a pattern fill
using a transparent pattern and the second example changed the
shape layer to a gradient fill using a foreground to transparent gradient.
Took the screenshot using an old windows machine cause my old mac died.
Any ideas on how this is done in pse9?
Thanks

Help! Cannot change scratch disk for Photoshop CS4

I know this has been addressed on other forums. I've looked though several of them and followed the procedures and I STILL cannot get Photoshop to open.
I click to open Photoshop and I get this:
"Could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available."
I click OK and I get this:
"Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."
I've reinstalled Photoshop.
I've tried opening it under Admin user.
I've tried trashing the preferences.
I've tried Shift+Option+Command to open Photoshop.
I've tried Option+Command to change the Startup Disk.
NOTHING has worked. I'm at my wit's end. I'm logged in as a network user but even trying to open it locally doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

I had to do an archive and install of my OS then reinstall the Adobe suite.
I then had to run the Licensing Repair Tool (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html)
Now everything works but Dreamweaver, which is throwing the following error:
"Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file.
Please delete the current menus.xml file and rename menus.bak to menus.xml"
I tried that. menus.bak is a directory, not a file. Even renaming the directory didn't work.

Changing color of GUI (Photoshop CS4)

Hi there,
I am trying to change a color scheme of PS GUI. My 3ds max colors, mayas ... all programs color is "sand color" such as the ms windows color. HOW can i change menus, toolbars...IN PHOTOSHOP ?? THANX VERY MUCH FOR ANSWER

Well since Photoshop is a professional application and as Robert explained there is not much need for pros to have a GUI that will interfere with color correction. So Adobe has much more important things to fix in Photoshop.
To me this sounds very well.

Is there a script for changing layer names in ID CS4?

I have multiple documents with an average of 20 layers in each. Each of the layers is named for the expiration date of the coupon in the ads. When a new order comes in I retrieve the previous files and change the dates via scripts and the Find/Change option. I have looked but cannot find a way to rename the dates in the layers as well.
Does anyone know of a script for this?
Thanks in advance!

E-mail, eh? You're missing out a lot of fun stuff, as there is
- editing your own posts
- using bold and italics to highlight important stuff
- finally being able to shout (some posters think it's necessary to use a large bold font to make their post stand out in the crowd. They are correct, it does. In the Bad way.)
- inserting images
- uh, Jive (-- sorry, couldn't think of any more fun stuff to add)

Change layer's order InDesign CS4 js

Hi, I need to move layer below another layer and what I tried doesn't work:
myDoc.layers.item("INSTRUCTIONS (TURN OFF)").move (locationOptions.AFTER(myDoc.layers.item ("Die")));
Thank you for your help.
Yulia

You seem to have the syntax wrong:
myDoc.layers.item("INSTRUCTIONS (TURN OFF)").
move(locationOptions.AFTER(myDoc.layers.item("Die")));
locationOptions.AFTER is a constant, it is not a parametrized function. I don't have the syntax of the move() method in front of me [gasp!...], but I believe it it takes two parameters ,the locationOption and the destination [maybe the other order], so it should be:
move(locationOptions.AFTER,myDoc.layers.item("Die"))
or somesuch.

Change color settings in Photoshop CS4 js

Hi,
I need to set color settings when I save_As my doc. This what I have, but it's not working:
var myFile = new File (myFinalPath);
if (myFile.exists) {
    app.colorSettings.enableColorManagement = true;
    app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = myFile;
Scritp runs without problemes, but color settings remain not set. I do have the setting file saved in myFinalPath location.
Thank you for your help.
Yulia

app.colorSettings returns a string. The contents of that string depends on your current color settings.
You have assigned two meaningless properties to the colorSettings properties. The script runs without errors because javascript lets you create new properties. But the new properties don't do anything unless the script uses them after creating them.
If you are trying to load a colorsettings file you can use this function.
function loadColorSettings( file ) {
     var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), stringIDToTypeID('colorSettings') );
        ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('capp'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
    desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
        var fileDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
        fileDesc.putPath( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), file );
    desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('T   '), stringIDToTypeID('colorSettings'), fileDesc );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('setd'), desc, DialogModes.NO );
If you are trying to set the document's profile when saving you can use document.convertProfile()

IF SOME1 Gonna say you are at the wrong forum again.. im gonna .... i dont know.. if im at wrong forum again tell me the right forum. thank you

You updated Quicktime or your Windows Media Architecture, used a different CoDec in your video, use an incompatible Codec to begin with. Furthermore, you could have upgraded your graphics card drivers, messing around with hardware accelerated playback. Really not clear. you need to provide more info about the matter, even more so, as you use non-standard video player software in your demonstration video and it's unclear, if any other tool based on Windows Media Architecture or QT would play the videos without problems. and please, don't use excessive formatting in your posts, it is bad conduct and very impolite to "scream".

Is it possible to increase the nested layer group limit on Photoshop CS4

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to increase the limit on nested layer groups in Photoshop CS4. To do a test, I made a group with a blank layer inside, then duplicated this group several times and nested them within each other. Once I have nested groups (5 deep) I can't nest any more.
This is quite frustrating as I'm sure I could cope with a just two or three more levels of depth.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
That's rather annoying. I guess I will have to live with it for now. :-(

Help: photoshop cs4 crashes when i drag a layer under or over another layer/try to change layer orde

help: photoshop cs4 crashes when i drag a layer under or over another layer/try to change layer order
this problem orcurred suddenly after having used the programm for years.
i tried to reinstall cs4 and install all available updates, but it di not help...
please help ! thanks

What is the exact version and what’s your OS?
What does the crash report state?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

Photoshop CS4 randomly changing font...

I'm baffled by this one. I created a new text layer and chose MT Resolution Classic Tight as the font. I entered one word, entered a space and the continued typing. However, everything after that space was in Minion Pro. I had to select all of the text and change it back to MT Resolution. This is happening no matter what font I choose. I could start with something like Arial, enter a space after the first word I type, and then the rest of the entered text is in some other random font. There seems to be no logic to it. I've been using PS for years, and CS4 for at least a year, and this problem has never come up before.
I can't even begin to imagine what is going wrong. Help?
(Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.1 32-bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit)

How many fonts do you have installed?
Do a search for and delete all instances of adobefnt*.lst (that extension is .LST).
And if a broken or corrupted font is causing problems there is no alternative in the long run to tracking it down and deleting it.

Photoshop cs4 - changes seen only in small layers panel window

Hello. I am operating from a mac, using Photoshop, CS4. When I make any kind of change or alteration to my image, the change shows up only in the layers panel small display window, not on the actual image. I have the correct layer selected etc.

Is the layer you are editing the topmost in your layers panel? Is it getting obscurred by a layer above it — perhaps even a blank white layer?
