Crop + mass rasterized export by layer?

Hi I have a very large map in illustrator format.
I have taken satellite data and resized it so it matches my map.
I would like to be able to crop my map so that all my layers are the same size, and then export each layer as a raster to photoshop.
Is there any way I can easily do this? Thanks in advance.

thanks for the quick reply mike.
When I try to do this it tells me 'not enough memory to save file' whether I have layers or flat checked
Do you know of any workarounds for this?
Also I don't need to export the whole image, so I tried to create a smaller artboard so that I'm only exporting the area of the map I need
but when I do this I get "cannot create artboard outside the canvas. Please rearrange and try again."
I even get the same thing if I try to duplicate my only existing artboard!

Photoshop CC Export 3D layer creates a different sized object

I have a client sending us some .dae collada files of some candy bags. My task it to resize the bag to fit the 3D case that the bag will ship in. Here's the problem: I open my bag file and the dimensions are 7.5 x 2 x 10.25. I want to resize to 5.75 x 2 x 11.75. Then I 3D > Export 3D Layer... (.dae collada) Everything seems fine but when I open the new resized .dae file, the dimensions are way bigger. The 3D Dimensions on Canvas (and in other software) somehow became 374.9 x 70.87 x 766.1 when I expected it to be 5.75 x 2 x 11.75.
Is there a way to preserve the size of the 3D Dimensions on Canvas to be the final dimensions of the exported collada file.
I've tested just creating a shape in photoshop's 3d menu and then export 3D layer and I get the same result upon re-opeining the exported shape.
I've also tested it using .obj as the exported format and also and get the same result.
Any suggestions other than using a different 3d software to scale the bag?

I have a similar issue but see that your post has not be answered. I am using 2014 so it has not been fixed. I use sketch up to resize but it would be better if I did not have to do this

Export 3D Layer grayed out (need to export my volume)

Here's the situation.
I have a lot of single-frame DICOM files that I have loaded into layers by using File > Scripts > load multiple DICOM files. I then select all the layers and go 3D > New Volume From Layers. Everything works well up to this point - I can rotate and view the object in different render settings. It looks good.
Now I need to export this 3d object to a file I can open in 3ds max. According to the adobe help (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/WS09CA93D5-A4AE-4936-956F-3F2742FF3F91.html) I should use the 3D > Export 3d Layer. However, this option is grayed out for me; I can't click it! Why not - did I miss a step or something?
Because I got as far as creating a volume, I assume it's not a problem with the DICOM files or my method of loading them. Because the volume is already there it's a volume-related problem, as far as I can tell.
(Just to make sure it isn't a problem with my computer, I did a simple unrelated 3D postcard, and then the option was available.)

did I miss a step or something?
Volumes have no polygons, so there is nothing to export, plain and simple. Guess why in most medical viz bones and organs are still hand-modeled using conventional techniques! If it were that simple as exporting a few MRT scans from a volume, then there would be no need for that. You will need a proper tool to generate polygon meshes from volume slices and voxels. VoluMedic is for Lightwave, but I'm sure something similar and equally expensive also exists for MAX.

Crop photo for just ONE layer in CS6

I have 2 layers.
One photo was PLACED on each layer.
I turn off the other layer so thet the "eye" icon is no longer seem.
I crop photo in the active layer but remaining layer photo get cropped too.
What am I doing wrong? I did the tutorial for the new crop tool.

Charles,
I did all the relevent Adobe PS tutorials plus those I googled done by third parties. I can't find the PS page now, but you know the one I mean, 20+ video tutorial links on the page. None address layers while cropping.
Does this mean I need to do masks, if so, doesn't this add unnecessary data/K to the file since masks cover and don't delete? I'll crop originals before I bring in then, then mask from there.
Thank you, I was ticked off not understanding.

Crop lines on exported video

Hey people!
I'm editing a video on Premiere CS5.5 where i need to use the crop tool on the sides of the original video (to get rid of unwanted elements), use the change color tool to make the background white and then use a white background layer... now i have a problem! when i watch the exported file i can see thin white lines, them being the crop lines... how do i get rid of them?
by the way, if anyone knows a simplier and faster way to do what i intend, which is basically giving a full white background to a video where i have a female model on a yellowish background with unwanted elements on the sides (projectors and stuff) let me know please!
cheers and thanks!
Ivo

as far as I understood, what you are trying too do is remove the background. Instead of replacing the color with white, why not just replace it with transparent? This is best done with a key, for example the build in ultra key is not too bad and is far more flexible than the color replace tool.
Now to get rid of other elements in the background I recomend the garbage mask, which comes with 8 or 16 points.
About the crop tool: in CC there is a great new feature which allows you to feather the edges of the croped images.

Can the screen be cropped to and exported at a custom aspect ratio?

I think I'm needing Premier to do something it's just not designed to do. What I need to do is to take five or six different screen and audio captures of the same event (a 3D virtual reality instructional session), each representing a different person's view of that event, assemble those in a split screen, synchronize them to the designated "main" capture's audio, delete the other audio tracks, and add CG title labeling each one. The effect is like looking at a display showing six security camera images. From what I can determine, it is possible to do those things in Premier.
However, what I then need to do is to crop out any extra space to the left and right of that split-screen image and export the file as a .mov with the aspect ratio produced by the cropping so that the videos are as large as possible and are not distorted from resizing them to fit the standard aspect ratio. Depending on the size of the screencaps, the resulting .mov might have nearly a 1:1 ratio. What is critical for this is that the video be as large as possible and the "black" space be as small as possible so that the person who comes in later to analyze these composite videos can see everything as clearly as possible. I also need to crop on the fly; because these images aren't always captured at the same size, it is impossible to preset a size for the resulting video.
We've been using a screen capture tool to do this that works but is a pain; clips can only be moved and resized by mouse-drags, and the software has to import to and export from its own proprietary format, which is very slow. However, ever piece of "real" video editing software I've looked at only seems to export in TV or film aspect ratios. Quicktime Pro looked for a bit like the best bet, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle multiple audio tracks (which are necessary since I have to synchronize tracks by ear much of the time).
Is what I'm describing--exporting .mov files while preserving custom aspect ratios that are created by cropping during editing--something Premier can do? If so, would it be something fairly easy for complete novices to do?

On a Mac based system ScreenFlow might work best but on the PC side FRAPS might work best. You can do what you want to do with Premiere Pro once you record the screen capture. As Stephen_Spider mentioned you might need to crop and even resize the images. FRAPS can record at 1/4 the screen resolution and still have decent results. PP CS 5.5 can play several layers (6 PIPs) of the FRAPS codec at 1/4 resolution in realtime.
Thanks, but we cannot change the screen recording process. According to the study's protocols, the virtual world has to be full-screen or almost nearly so during the session, and that full screen has to be captured for analysis. Resizing the screen captures is not a problem (especially since I already said I'm doing that), but if you're saying that Premier can only play back up to six screen captures simultaneously if they're captured at 1/4 screen, then that's a deal-breaker right there.
By the way, here's approximately what each of the completed composite videos looks like:
Screencap 1
Screencap 2
Screencap 3
Screencap 4
Screencap 5
Screencap 6
Each screencaptures is resized to the largest consistent size that will fit into this format, and then the resulting video is cropped to the outside border. If there are only five screencaptures, I simply center the single one on the bottom on the "center line."
And, to be clear (though I've said this several times already), this is something that is already being done. We probably have more than 60 of these .mov files, each around 45 minutes long, with five or six synchronized screen captures in each. Frame rate etc. has not been any issue with these, and neither has playback of the .mov file from HD or DVD.

EPS file placed within INDD art shows crop marks when exported to PDF

Hi Friends -
I have a INDD art file I'm working on, within which I placed an EPS image. Upon exporting the INDD art to PDF, the document has what appear to be crop marks surrounding the EPS image. This is not where the image should be cut, and these marks are being shown in a functional part of the design. Here is a screenshot of one corner of the EPS; the other 3 corners have identical marks:
Additional information:
- MS Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
- InDesign CS5.5 Version 7.5.3
- Marks are generated during export process/conversion to PDF; they are not visible in InDesign.
- EPS file does not create these crop marks when placed into another INDD file and exported using the same process as above.
- No other elements of the INDD file have similar marks displayed after export.
Any help with where I might find the setting in INDD to turn this OFF would be greatly appreciated!
D

That was probably the most expeditious reply I've ever received in a forum.
Anyhow, the crop marks are not part of the actual EPS image. Opening the EPS file in PS or AI reveals no stray crop marks so, unless the marks are somehow part of the EPS settings rather than a visible element of the image, I think it has something to do with INDD and its settings. To confirm, I did place this EPS in another INDD document and an export procedure utilizing the same steps does not reproduce the crop marks.

Cropping video - and exporting to WMV without a border

good morning,
I am cropping my videos slightly smaller than the canvas, but when I export them, I get a black border. Is there anyway to get rid of the border?
Thanks in advance

You could create a color matte and place it on a video track underneath your cropped clip. If you feather the cropped edges, the two might blend together.

Photoshop doesn't do anything when I click on export 3D layer.

I created a 3D object by extruding a selection from a .png file. I can alter the 3D object, light it, move it, do anything I want to the object, yet when I try to export the 3D object nothing happens. No dialog boxes appear, no error messages. I just click it and nothing happens.

I had the exact same problem, although I may have stumbled upon a partial solution:
- Create a new blank file and then drag/copy the 3d layer you are trying to export to it.
- Export the 3d layer from the new file.
Hope this helps

Still frames got cropped when I exported to DV, how do I avoid this?

I'm using iMovie HD 5.0.2. Made a film and used alot of still photos of bands with the name of the band zooming in and then a transition between each. In iMovie the photos were perfect but when I exported to my DV several of the photos were cropped. I made two versions - one in NTSC and one in PAL and it happened to both. I did not choose QT margins either. What can I do to avoid that happening again.

Thanks Sue,
I read it but haven't tried it yet. One thing though, does it matter that I am not using the Ken Burns effect? The cropping happened with that not selected.

Stabilization doesn't crop after I export.

Hey all,
I am somewhat new to Motion in general but a veteran at FCP. My questions is this:
I have a project that I created in Motion 5 that uses the stabilization feature. While in Motion, I used the "zoom" feature to keep the frame filled and leave the black out of the picture. When I am in motion and I play my project, I can see the program moving the full frame around so that the canvas is filled and stable. This is exactly what I want. When I export the video, all of the sudden that zoom crop is gone and I see the full frame like the zoom is no longer taking place. What setting do I need to change to fix this? Let me know if you need screen shots or video shots of what is going on. Thanks!

I'm having same problem here. I had to render twice to make sure it wosn't my mistake.

How to crop an image on a layer?

I am using PSE 6 for Mac. I have dragged an image onto a canvas with three layers. When I crop the image using either the crop tool or a selection>image≥crop, it crops the entire canvas, rather than just the image on the layer. Can this be done?
Related question: I dragged an image onto the canvas and wanted to scale it up. I grabbed it with the move tool and dragged the corner box, holding the shift key to constrain proportion. But it does not constrain with the shift key. Am I doing it wrong?
Thanks.

To just crop a layer, you need to use the rectangular marquee tool to select where the layer is to be cropped then invert the selection and press the delete key. (Shortcut for Selection<Inverse = I believe on Mac it's Command + Shift + I...on PC it's Ctrl + Shift + I).
This did not work for me. I got an error message that "the Smart Object is not directly editable."

You need to use the transform command not the move tool. Shortcut Edit<Free Transform = I believe on Mac it's Command + T...on PC it's Ctrl T.
Yes, hold in the shift key to constrain it to scale. If you want it to scale to the center instead of to one of the corners, hold in the Shift + Option key (I believe it's Option on the Mac...On PC it's Shift + Alt.) Alternately, you can set the width (either by using transform handles or by inputting numbers in the width box) then click the chain between width and height in the options bar to make the height match the width.
I have stumbled onto the solution: if I DON'T hold down the shift key while dragging, proportions are constrained. If I DO hold down the shift key, proportions are NOT constrained. This seems to be the opposite of what I remember, but it works.
Thanks.

Export PS layer into iMovie?

I want to import a PS layer into imovie to use as a title. It is a drawing with words made with the brush tool. I want to use it as a title for my film clip. When I import into iMovie. the layer gets flattened with the background and wants to import the white background as well as the white text. Any thoughts?

Just thought about something. I'm going to try and export the animation as a disk image and then Handbrake it as a QT. A lot of work, but it might turn out to be the only way. If you know an easier one, let me know. Thanks.

When I copy layers and crop one, it changes every layer. Why?

Can't work this out. I have imported a jpeg and copied it several times. I woud like to crop out a different portion of each and have a stack of layers each showing a part of the original jpeg. When I select one layer and lock the rest the result of cropping the active layer is applied to all copies of the layer! Why? How do I get round this irritating behaviour? Working in Photoshop CS on a Mac.

Yeah, it took me awhile to get my head around it when I first started. As PECourtejoie stated cropping is for the whole document.
For a single layer just use the square selection tool, drag out the area you want in the new layer, then hit ctrl-j it will copy that area into a new layer for you.
If you want the selection to fill the thumbnail, just right click on the thumbnail, at the bottom of the menu you will find clip to layer bounds. Once that is selected the selection will fill the thumbnail.

IMovie crops video when exporting to videocamera

The past two video I have exported back to my video camera after editing them, have been cropped. I only noticed it on this last one, where it cropped out the text. I don't remember it ever doing this in version 4 and below. Is this normal, if so WHY? Has anyone else noticed this and is there anything I can do?

It used to be the case in version 4, and previous, of iMovie that when applying text - e.g; Titles - you could choose to have "QuickTime margins" or not.
QuickTime is a movie format for playing on computers, and the computer monitor will play the entire width and height of the movie.
Normal DV is intended for - ultimately - showing on TVs, not on computers ..and TVs - at least those with cathode ray tubes - crop off the very edges of the picture (..a phenomenon called "overscan"..) so as not to show the timing information and VHS "head-switching" sizzle along the bottom or top of the picture, teletext data lines and other garbage.
Thus, any text which is placed near the edges of a movie on a TV screen may get chopped off.
Broadcasting companies (and film directors) use "TV Safe" margins around their titles, so that when shown on TV the titles do NOT get chopped off or disappear beyond the boundaries of the screen.
The current version of iMovie HD doesn't seem to have a choice of allowing "QuickTime margins" (..i.e; positioning titles nearer to the edges of a frame for use in a QT-only movie, where they'd get cut off on a TV..) or not, but it seems to position titles a bit further up, and a bit further in from the frame edges and nearer to the "TV Safe" area, than before.
So some titles may get slightly cropped when shown on a TV and in a camcorder viewfinder (..v/fs generally do NOT show the very edges of a movie: they behave more like a TV with "overscan"..) but perhaps you can pad out your titles with a bit of extra space at the edges, or re-position them on the screen - some titles can be dragged to the position you prefer - to avoid their being cropped by "overscan".
