Disable Output to new layer

Alright folks! I had a problem using a 3rd party filter with actions and have learned of a solution:
Turning off "output to new layer" feature. it is supposed to be found under the preferences menu, however in the article it doesnt state which version of photoshop they are using.
Im using CS4 on my school's macs, and would love to find out how to disable output to new layer. . .
Here is the instructions:
There is an easy solution. The "Create Output In New Layer" feature is incompatible with actions. It makes the filter do nothing. Just uncheck the "Output to New Layer" option to disable this feature. In Exposure and Image Doctor, there is a feature that allows you to turn this off permanently (until you turn it back on). Type Command+K (Mac) or Control+K (Windows) to bring up the Preferences window. At the bottom, click the checkbox "Disable Output On New Layer". If you still want the option of having a separate layer and the fine tuning it allows, just duplicate the layer (command/control J) within the action prior to running the filter and the action will still run fine.
Anyone know where to find this in PS CS4???
Much thanks and appreciation in advance!

With the 3rd party filter dialog displayed, type Command+K (Mac) or Control+K (Windows) to bring up the plug-in preferences window.

Adjusting settings in Refine Edge after outputting new layer mask?

After using Refine Edge in CS5.5 and removing the background from an image, I set it to output as a new layer mask. Next I place the image on top of a background and see that it needs some additional adjustments. How do I now get back to the Refine Edge window where I can see the changes I made previously and modify some of the settings? When I reopen the Refine Edge window the settings from before are no longer there.
Thanks.

You need to select the layer mask, and use refine Mask rather that Refine edge. There is an excellent tutorial by Martin Evening here

Cannot create a new layer when opening a gif

Using Photoshop Elements 8, I open a gif that I want to change the text for. I open the file and the first thing I want to do is create a new layer, but I am not able to. the New Layer button in the layers area is disabled, as is the Layers menu. How do fix this?

Since, animated .gif has got changed when opening in PSE9 so here is the alternative
You can always save your layered psd file which you convert to animated gif so in case you want to modify anything you can do it in .psd file and then create another animated .gif for your use.

XSL "disable-output-escaping" Directive Support post - 9i R2

Hello there,
I've recently discovered that the XSL directive, disable-output-escaping="yes", does not work in Oracle 9i R2 when applying a Stylesheet to an XML document via the XMLTYPE.TRANSFORM function.
I can accept that this wasn't supported in this version of the Database (as I have no choice in the matter ;-)). My question is, is this directive supported in XMLTYPE.TRANSFORM in either 10g R1/R2, or 11g R1?
Thanks in advance.
James

How to "disable-output-escaping" got Oracle XMLQuery ?

I have Oracle 8i columns which contain well formed XML. For example a catalog description that contains "The copy we have for sale is <color>blue</color>".
I am trying to write a Java program which uses OracleXMLQuery to retrieve columns from the database, adds them to an XMLDocument, then traverses the XMLDocument transforming the nodes in different ways depending on the node attributes and child values.
I am trying to find a reasonable way to, effectively, "disable-output-escaping" on the OracleXMLQuery.
I have a similar problem when using XSQL (where I think a "disable-output-escaping" option would be VERY useful) and have to use a "UndoQueryEscaping.xsl" and a requery.
I have tried using achieving a similar effect using OracleXMLQuery.setXSLT() and XMLDocument.transformNode() but have not been able to get them to work.
Can anyone suggest a method that works and is reasonably efficient?
I have include the guts of my processing method to illustrate the problem.
try
setOutput( outputName );
FileReader unescapeReader =
new FileReader
"com/jaysmith/jsdb/products/UndoQueryEscaping.xsl" );
XSLStylesheet unescape =
new XSLStylesheet( unescapeReader, new URL( "file://com/jaysmith/jsdb/products/" ) );
xmldoc = new XMLDocument();
xmldoc.setVersion( "1.0" ); // default.
xmldoc.setEncoding( "ISO-8859-1" );
Comment comment = xmldoc.createComment( "created by CatalogToXml on ..." );
xmldoc.appendChild( comment );
XMLElement doc = (XMLElement) xmldoc.createElement( "Document" );
xmldoc.appendChild( doc );
XMLElement docHeader = (XMLElement) xmldoc.createElement( "DocumentHeader" );
doc.appendChild( docHeader );
// Have to create actual XMLElement to pass to cq.getXMLDOM()
XMLElement catalogs = (XMLElement) xmldoc.createElement( "Catalogs" );
doc.appendChild( catalogs );
XMLElement docFooter = (XMLElement) xmldoc.createElement( "DocumentFooter" );
doc.appendChild( docFooter );
// The catalog iterator stuff uses LIKE and while( ..next() )
// even though we should only have one catalog.
// This is safer and makes it easier to add catcdpattern support in future.
query = "SELECT * FROM Catalog WHERE CatCd LIKE '" + argCatCd + "'" ;
cq = new OracleXMLQuery( db.getConnection(), query );
cq.setRowsetTag( "" ); // bcs we've already created Catalogs Element.
cq.setRowTag( "Catalog" );
cq.setDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" ); // FIX. use property value.
cq.setRowIdAttrName( "CATCD" );
cq.setRowIdAttrValue( "CATCD" );
// cq.useUpperCaseTagNames(); // NO, bcs forces even setRowTag values to upper.
cq.useNullAttributeIndicator( true ); // initially incl nulls makes processing easier(?)
// let us handle the exceptions.
cq.setRaiseException( true );
// use exception to break out if no rows.
// alternatively could let xsql just include the "no rows found" message.
cq.setRaiseNoRowsException( true );
// doesn't work
// cq.setStylesheetHeader( "com/jaysmith/jsdb/products/UndoQueryEscaping.xsl" );
// doesn't work
// cq.setXSLT(
// "file://com/jaysmith/jsdb/products/UndoQueryEscaping.xsl",
// "file://com/jaysmith/jsdb/products/"
if( DEBUG >= 9 )
// This causes closing of cq and thus next cq use will fail
// Would need to set some cq.set... remain open?
// env.msg.debug.println( 7, cq.getXMLString() );
cq.getXMLDOM( catalogs );
// doesn't work
// catalogs.transformNode( unescape );
xmldoc.print( output );

The way I see it, you have two possible approaches:
[list=1]
[*]Produce a text-based version of the XML document, including the unescaped content of the XML column, and then parse the whole thing, or
[*]You effectively need to do a "mini-parse" of your document fragment in the column to produce the DOM nodes that it represents so that they can be appended into the DOM tree at the right point.
[list]
I think approach 1 is the more easily doable.

Actions - creating new layer always gives prompt

I'm using Ilustrator CS5 and created an action that does the following:
Selects all and copies an object
creates a new layer
pastes in places on the new layer
changes color of the selected object
renames the layer to the name of the color that was used
repeats so I have 21 different layers, all with different colors
Overall, it works very well. But, every time it makes the new layer, I get a New Layer Dialog box and I have to click 'ok.' As the action is creating 20 different layers, I'd love not to click ok for every new layer. Not sure why this dialog is coming up as it doesn't when I record the action. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Christine

In the Actions Palette, disable the Modal dialog checkbox on the left-hand side of the action step that creates the new layer.

Creating a New Layer Using Icons in Adjustment Palette

When creating a new layer using the icons in the adjustments palette and holding ALT in CS5 a dialog box would appear before creating the new layer. At this point you could rename the layer change the blending mode etc.
In CS6 I do not get the dialog box to appear the new layer is just created. I've tried to reset my preference twice and this has not help. Any ideas?

Your memory has failed
On the contrary, your memory may have failed.
ACJ81 is correct (at least as far as Ps on OS X is concerned) and the problem was mentioned in the forum not too long ago. In CS5, Alt-clicking an icon in Adjustments panel does cause a New Layer dialog to pop open and the dialog fails to appear in CS6.
In CS6 and CS5, the dialog will appear if you pick an Adj Lyr from the Layer > New Adjustment Layer submenu, both with or without Alt modifier. (That lack of control over the appearance of an optional dialog when picking from a menu is an inconsistency in the interface.)
In CS6 and CS5, the dialog will appear if you Alt-click the black and white circle at bottom of Layers panel then pick an Adj Lyr from the menu, as Noel said.

Creating a new layer request...

Does anyone know of a plugin that when creating a new layer, the name of the layer is immediately editable or which brings up a dialog window prompting you to name it, as in photoshop and illustrator?
This would really speed things up.
Thanks,

Yeah I knew that but it means you gotta use the mouse to click on it which just a pain all the time. I avoid using the mouse whenever possible.
I was hoping a new layer with the name immediately editable could be done with one gesture.
For example in photoshop, you do the short cut for new layer which is ⌥⌘N and that brings up a window with the layer name immediately editable. No mouse needed.
Thanks for your help anyway!

Adding a layer to a set of five will automatically make this the 6th. I cannot see any other way.

I cannot copy and paste to a new layer in PSCC

I am trying to use the magnetic lasso tool to outline my product and move that product to it's own layer so I can create a banner.
The lasso will not turn off, I have made sure it met the beginning of the outline, and I have clicked enter. I was instructed to copy the product and paste it and it will show up as a new layer. I am concerned that I have something set or not set that would cause the tools to stick, and that I am missing a step between copy and paste.
Can someone please help me or direct me to a tutorial that will cover these subjects? I have been trying to figure it out on my own for two days.
Thanks,

I actually found under EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

Installing new layer styles in PSE 7

What is the correct way to install new layer styles into pse 7? ( I use Vista)
Do I move my extracted style file into the layer styles folder by following this pathway: program data>adobe>photoshop elements>7.0>photo creations>layer styles.
Do I need to create a metafile too?
Thank you for helping me, I have about a dozen styles I need to add, but I am unsure how to get it done properly.

Hello,
You need to create a metadata.xml file too to view it in a specific category of your choioce.
You need to paste the two things :
1) .asl file.
2) metadata.xml,
to the following location:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Photo Creations\layer styles.
Here you need to add the two files and relaunch PSE. This will show you the presets in the layer styles category with.
While creating the metadat.xml file you need to take care of two things:
1) Add a new category name so that you can easily find them.
2) You need to verify that Type value is set "Style as mentioned : <type value="style" />
Hope this helps you.

Photoshop cs6 with OS X Yosemite, I open a new layer and i paint on it but if I use cmd Z it does not undo fluently the most of the time.

Photoshop cs6 with OS X Yosemite, I open a new layer and i paint on it but if I use cmd Z it does not undo fluently the most of the time.

Grab the plug-in posted here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html
That should get everything working as expected on Yosemite.

Question on design of new layer comps feature

The new layer comp feature in Photoshop CC 2014 is great. It allows you to access the layer comps within smart objects from another file.
One very important aspect seem to have gone missing though: Imagine you have 1 master document (e.g. website mockup) with several smart objects inside it (e.g. popup menus). Each of the smart objects have layer comps (e.g. folded / unfolded states) that I can access from the master document. Great!
Now I want to save a layer comp in the master object that reconfigures layer comps on the various sub smart objects (e.g. showing menus opened/closed). This doesn't work.
The reason it doesn't work is that a "published" layer comp on a smart object is a property of the smart object. A layer comp can only save visibility/layer styles/position but not properties. So I am forced to manually change the layer comp of all my included smart objects in order to reach the target look of my master document. This makes the feature much less useful.
Am I missing something? It seems like such an obvious feature to have. Have you considered this when you designed the layer comps feature? Will it be an upcoming feature?

I have the exact same problem. I thought this was the whole point of smart objects with layer comp states. Without this feature it seems pointless.
Avoiding having multiple layers is the reason you would use this. Now all we achieve is having smart objects instead of folders. Pretty ridiculous I must say.
It even seemed from the presentation of the "new and improved layer comps" that you could do this. They skip that specific functionality, but it seems implicit in the presentation.
Other thing is that the update position, style and visibility are buggy as hell. And another obvious feature of updating text-fields is missing as well.
So we have to find plugins to help us. BUT cc 2014 doesnt allow for flash plugins and no HTML5 plugins are available. Thank you Adobe!

CC 2014 nik efex - My Nik Efex filters are not working in Photoshop CC 2014 - they appear under plug-ins and seem to work, but after running and clicking okay, no new layer appears - seems to have no effect. The separate menu panel does not appear either

BINGO !!!!
Thanks so much Woodsroad. I had the exact same problem with my Dell Windows 7 64 bit with AMD Radeon 6700 Video card.
All the video tests passed with flying colors.
The sniffer rename trick fixed the problem.
Thank goodness for the internet!

CS4 - New layer won't show added color overlay, gradient, patterns?

I'm using CS4 Extended for a few years... its been working fine but all of a sudden my layers are blank? I've tried Google but can't find a solution. Started a new graphic for a label using a 300dpi resolution, 23.250" inches wide and 2.500" high. Filled it with Black, then attempted to create a new layer to create a semi-transparent pattern above the black. It shows up in the layers column but the actual new layer doesn't show up on the artwork workspace. I can add text in color as a new layer, but the pattern layer doesn't show. Went and tried using an existing file... old layers work fine, but try to add any new layer other than text and it doesn't show. I know this is something dumb that I somehow clicked on and I'll kick myself when somebody tells me to check.... whatever LOL.
Thanks in advance and don't laugh.

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.
