Copy Group or Layer to *Below* the Selected layer
Hey everyone,
So I have a bit of a workflow problem. It's not a huge deal but it's one of those things that really adds up over time. Whenever I'm designing mock ups for a page I usually work from the top down. In cases of let's say laying out items in a blog roll, I will
- Set up all the elements for the post (Title, author, date, body etc...)
- Group them together
- Select the group
- Hold down Cmd/Ctrl + Option/Alt + Shift and drag down to make a duplicate group
My problem is that the new group (or layer) appears *above* the original one, so now I have to go back into my layers panel and move Post 2 below Post 1 so the structural hiearchy of my Groups/Layers reflect (for the most part) the visual hiearchy of my design.
Are there any keyboard shortcuts, or checkboxes I can tick to have duplicate items appear below the original in terms of layer hiearchy?
Any help would be much appreciate!
I don't know of anyway to have a group created below another group. I know that if you ctrl/cmd-click to create a new layer, it will be created below the current layer. My only suggestion is to use ctrl/cmd-[ to move the group down - just be sure the group is collapsed, otherwise your new group would go into the group below.

Script select parent group by layer
I have complicated workflow in photoshop in which i often use selection of layers by ctrl+click (auto-select is unchecked and selecting layers is chosen) That works good for me. But some time i need quickly select parent group of active layer (only one level up) (it can be achived by using some keyboard shortcut) I think the only way to do that is PS scripting.
Im new to photoshop scripting but i have a lot of expirience in other languages
As i understand its sould take just couple commands:
1) select parent folder from active object (it can be any type of layer)
2) Collapse this folder (cos it was uncollapsed before)
what syntax shoud i use for this commands? i tried to use help but couldn't find even how to select parent folder of active layer..
Any help?I've tried the following codes and it works for me. It selects the parent layer of the group and then collapses it:
1. copy the following script and paste it into notepad. Save it as LayerSetSupport.jsx and save it in the same folder as all your other scripts:
//START HERE------------------------------------------
//For code readability
function cTID(s){return charIDToTypeID(s)}
function sTID(s){return stringIDToTypeID(s)}

function openAllLayerSets( parent ){
for(var setIndex=0;setIndex<parent.layerSets.length;setIndex++){
app.activeDocument.activeLayer = parent.layerSets[setIndex].layers[0];

now once you run the above script (the one which you gave it your own filename), it should select the parent layer and then collpase it. First make sure that the selected(active) layer is not the parent layer of the group. I beleive the main scripting here was done by csuebele, so thank him for this

I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer
I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer (not including the hidden layers, but including those visible).
How could modify the script: 'Layer Comps To Files.jsx' to get the result?
Warning: I do not need to export all layers as files.
Who can help me?
THX in advanceVersione in Italiano (Further down the English version)
NB - Nella versione inglese ho messo tutte le immagini dei menu in italiano.
Versione per Mac, ma credo sia identico per Windows.
Spiego passo passo cosa ho fatto:
- Ho creato un file esempio con tre Livelli, salvato sulla scrivania e ho chiuso il file.
- Ho aperto il file e selezionato il Livello al centro per iniziare a registrare una azione che ho chiamato: Save with Name of Selected Layer
- Nuova azione
- Dare il nome e premere Registra
Ora salva…
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Ancora una volta Menu --> Livello... --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello --> Ordina --> Dietro
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci sotto
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci visibili
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello - Nascondi Livello
- Menu --> Elimina --> Elimina livelli nascosti (press -Yes-)
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... Inserisci questo: 'Move this to the trash' e premi ok
- Menu --> File --> Script --> Esporta Livelli in File... (Nella finestra che si apre scegliere l’opzione che si desidera, ma togliere il prefisso del nome) e premere -Esegui-
- Selezionare il pannello Storia cliccare su Elimina premendo -Si- ogni volta che si apre la finestra di dialogo (Ripetere 8 volte questa operazione sino ad arrivare nella storia alla condizione di partenza. Ho visto che è meglio di Ripristina -F12-)
- Fermare la registrazione.
A questo punto, mandando in esecuzione questa Azione, ho raggiunto parzialmente l’obiettivo perché i file così creati mantengono, purtroppo, dei prefissi numerici per evitare probabilmente la sovrascrizione di file (credo senza avviso) nel posto dove vengono creati.
Per ottenere l’obiettivo occorre un nuovo passo ed a proposito di questo riferisco quanto segue:
ATTENZIONE - L’operazione descritta qui di seguito deve essere fatta su di una copia del file, per cui:
- Duplicare il file,
- Spostare l’originale in altra cartella
- Lavorare sul file duplicato.
mi riferisco a questo...
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica è effettuata a proprio rischio e pericolo ed il sottoscritto non si assume alcuna responsabilità su quanto venga fatto soprattutto da mani inesperte.
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica sovrascrive qualsiasi file che abbia nome uguale al layer che viene selezionato più l’estensione del file naturalmente.
Comunque la modifica è banalissima e a portata di chiunque.
Procedere così:
- Chiudere Photoshop
- Aprire (nel percorso specificato dall’immagine) il file “Export Layers to Files.jsx” (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) con un editor di testo puro.
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1029)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4);
fileNameBody += "_" + layerName;
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += layerName;
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1047-46)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4) + "s";
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "";
- salvare e uscire.
- riavviare Photoshop
- provare l’azione registrata facendo attenzione che il nome del layer non sia identico al nome di un file già presente altrimenti questo verrà sovrascritto.
Domanda:
Perché ho creato livelli che poi ho eliminato ecc.
Risposta:
Semplice per evitare errori di esecuzione delle azioni nel caso di operazioni con livelli mancanti o altro.
Semplice... no?
English version
Mac version, but I think it's the same for Windows.
First of all, I'm translating the actions that I made using the Italian version of Photoshop, you look at the position of the menu that I have chosen to do the work with other languages.
I explain step by step what I did:
- I created a sample file with three layers, saved to the desktop and I closed the file.
- I opened the file and select the layer at the center to start recording an action that I called: Save with Name of the Selected Layer
- New action
- Give the name and press Save ( I think it is so in English )
Now save ...
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Once again Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - > Arrange (order) -> Behind
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Down
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Visible
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - Hide Layer
- Menu - > Delete - > Delete hidden layers (press -Yes- )
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… Enter this: ' Move this to the trash ' and press ok
- Menu -> File - > Scripts -> Export Layers To Files... (In the window that opens select the option you want, but take away the name prefix) and press - Run -
- Select the History panel and click Delete (on menu opened) pressing -Yes- every time when open the dialog box (8 times Repeat this step until you get into the story to the starting condition. Not use Restore -F12-).
- Stop recording.
At this point, by executing this action, I have reached the goal partly because the files created in this way remain, unfortunately, the numerical prefixes to avoid possibly overwriting of files (I think without notice) in the place where they are created.
To achieve the goal we need a new step and thinking about this as follows:
WARNING - The operation described below should be made on a copy of the file, so :
- Duplicate the file
- Move the original folder to another
- Work on the duplicate file.
WARNING - This modification is performed at your own risk and the undersigned assumes no responsibility on what is done mostly by inexperienced hands.
WARNING - This change will overwrite any files with the same name as the selected layer plus the file extension of course.
However, the change is trivial and within reach of anyone.
Proceed as follows:
- Close Photoshop
- Open (in the specified path from the image ) file " Export Layers to Files.jsx " (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) with a pure text editor.
- Search for the string (should be in line 1029 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody = + "_" + zeroSuppress (i, 4 ) ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + layerName ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = layerName ;
- Search for the string (should be in line 1047-46 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + zeroSuppress (i, 4) + "s" ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "";
- Save and exit.
- Restart Photoshop
- Try the recorded Action, making sure that the layer name is not identical to the name of an existing file otherwise it will be overwritten.
Question:
Why I created levels which I then deleted etc..
Answer:
Simple to avoid errors of execution of the actions in the case of transactions with missing levels and other.
Simple ... is not it?
Sorry for my bad English...
Thanks in advance for any hint.

Could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty
I have Photoshop CS5 and I'm trying to do a selection on a new layer and when I copy it this message appears: "could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty"..
The new layer is selected, no other layer is selected. What the hell am I doing wrong???....Yes I'm a beginner.. ....please help?Hi There,
So just to clarify you have made a new blank layer, made a selection on that layer and then done a Layer > New > Layer via Copy (or cmd J).
The reason that you would get this error message is you have made a selection on a blank layer (effectively selecting nothing) and tried to duplicate it and Photoshop won't let you do that.
When doing New Layer via Copy or New Layer via cut you selection needs to include some painted (coloured) pixels.
Regards
Paul
PS. Maybe you could explain what you are trying to achieve by copying the layer and I could help a little more. -
Scope Entities under the selected Consolidation Group
Hi Experts,
During running of Consolidation, I have a logic to compute the translation of Retained Earnings via Account Transformation. Now my problem is that the logic calculates for all Entities. As a result there are data in other Entities even though they are not part of the consolidation group. In the MS version, we used the function below to filter Entities that are active under the selected consolidation group but it seems that this is not supported here in NW. Any function I can use to scope only the Entities that are active in the selected conso group?
To scope active Entities in MS:
*XDIM_GETINPUTSET ENTITY=%MYENT%
*APP=OWNERSHIP
*XDIM_MEMBERSET GROUPS=%GROUPS_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET OWNACCOUNT=ACTIVE
*CRITERIA SIGNEDDATA>=1
*ENDXDIM
Conso Script Logic:
//CALCULATE RETAINED EARNINGS TRANSLATION
*RUN_PROGRAM CALC_ACCOUNT
CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
CURRENCY = USD
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
OTHER = [GROUPS=%GROUPS_SET%,NON_GROUP]
CALC = RE_BEG
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
//TRANSLATE TO GROUP CURRENCY
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
MEASURES=YTD
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
//RUN CONSOLIDATION RULES
*RUN_PROGRAM CONSOLIDATION
CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
MEASURES=YTD
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
Thanks in advance,
MarvinHi Marvin,
Normally we have a consolidation hierarchy structure in Entity Dimentsion also, so you can add entity filter in script logic and DM and run CALC_ACCOUNT for this group only.

Why won't AI let me drag the selection icon into a Live Paint group?
I routinely add paths to existing Live Paint Groups, by dragging a path that is outside the group, into the LP group. But AI won't let me drag the "selection icon" from a nested layer, into an existing LP Group. Why?
It seems I'm requesting the same action, but AI won't allow the icon to be dragged into the group. I have to either open the layer and drag the objects directly, or drag the objects into the main layer, then into the Live Paint Group. I think this is an interface flaw. Does anyone follow me and have an observation?
FYI… I realize I could jump into the Live Paint Group using Isolation mode, but that takes extra steps and makes the template less useful.Live Paint groups can't contain sublayers. When attempting to drag a layer/sub-layer into a Live Paint group you are attempting to add a sub-layer, which Live Paint does not support.
You can drag individual objects into the Live Paint group because they are objects, not layers.
The "Layers" panel is somewhat of a misnomer, it's actually a "Layers and Objects" panel and each will have it's own restrictions. -
How can I copy text from PDF and include the source filename in the pasted selection?
I'm a biologist and frequently cut-and-paste notes from PDFs of scientific articles. I name all of the PDF articles with their PubMed ID, a short unique identifier (e.g. 19397482.pdf). When I take notes, I will select a few sentences from the PDF and then paste them into a text editor for later reference.
Can anyone suggest a method or script that would allow me to paste the copied text with the Pubmed filename included in a single action? I would want the pasted output it to look something like this, with the filename appended to the end:
Of the transcripts that were significantly different, there was a greater number of transcripts that were down-regulated in the IVC embryos (380) than the number of transcripts that were up-regulated (208). [20668257.pdf]
This would really help me to properly cite information sources during the writing process. I know there are bibliography managers that might be able to do something like this, but I prefer to read the PDF articles directly in Preview and select the text as I am reading.
Thanks very much for any suggestions / ideas.
jjwTo copy and paste in a single action:
tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
-- Get the PubMed ID:
get the title of the front window
set thePubMedID to word 1 of result
-- Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
delay 0.25 -- adjust if necessary
-- Add the PubMed ID to the contents of the clipboard:
set theNotes to the clipboard
set the clipboard to (theNotes & space & "[" & thePubMedID & ".pdf]")
end tell
tell application "Notational Velocity" to activate
tell application "System Events"
-- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the end of the Notational Velocity document
key code 125 using command down -- ⌘↓
keystroke return & return
keystroke "v" using {command down} -- ⌘V

Action written in CS4 won't run correctly in Elements 11 - specif. the "selective color" layer
I created an action using Adobe Photoshop CS4, and it runs correctly in CS4. When I save and load the action into Elements 11, there is a problem with the selective color layer. The selective color layer shows up in the layer stack along with the expected message that it can't be edited b/c it was created in the full version of Photoshop. However, the layer itself does not have any color/changes in it.
In Photoshop, the selective color layer makes the photo look pink. When I run the action in Elements11,the selective color layer does absolutely nothing to the photo. I do have the eye turned "on" to view the layer, and it's set at the correct blending options & opacity (normal, 100%).
If I run the action in Photoshop, save the file with all the action-created layers, and reopen the file in Elements 11, THEN the selective color layer shows its correct pink color. But when I run the action as a stand-alone action in Elements11, it does not.
Can anyone offer help as to why this is happening? Is there something special I need to do to make the action work correctly in Elements 11? My understanding was that it should RUN and create the layers correctly, although some of them will not be editable in Elements11. However, as it stands, it is not creating them with the correct color.
Thanks in advance for your help!You probaly need to record the action in a little different way in photoshop cs4 to get the selective color adjustment layer to work.
Try something like this:
1. In photoshop cs4 add an selective color adjustment layer, but don't do any adjustments and stop recording the action.
2. Undo the selective color adjustment layer and then double click on on the selective color adjustment layer step in the actions panel
and when the dialog opens set your adjustments and click ok.
Now it should work in pse 11: -
HELP! Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.
If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection. -
Copying and pasting adjustments. When I copy the adjustments of an image, I thought I could then select several images and batch paste the adjustments to all selected images. But instead it's only pasting to the first photo of the selected. What am I doing wrong?

when editing info, how do i select multiple items to edit a group? For example, changing the artist name on multiple tracks at once?
Same way you select multipl items anywhere else.
Hold ctrl and click the items you want.
If they are in consecutive order, click the 1st then Shift click the last. -
Copy a text layer to another image in the same location

Is there any event listener for changing the selection of layer?
Hi all,
I am looking into an event listener which fires on changing the selection of layer. I found 'Select' event listener which fires on selecting the different object.
Actually the problem with Select event listener is that when we select an object and move it and deselect it by clicking on the document, event fires on the selection of that object. But if we again select the same object and move it, no event is fired at that time.
Is there any workaround of this? So that the event is fired every time when we select the same object.
Please help me on this..
Regards,
VG.Thanks for the reply..
Actually I want the same behaviour as in illustrator i.e
- Select a layer. (Notifier calls the listener)
- Move it.
- Click on the document.
- Again select the same layer. (Notifier calls the listener again)
- Move it.
But in photoshop,
- Select a layer. (Notifier calls the listener)
- Move it.
- Click on the document.
- Again select the same layer. (Notifier doesnot calls the listener again as the layer is already selected in panel as you explained.)
- Move it.
Is there any way to get the same behaviour of illustrator in photoshop?
