Drawing Shapes in Layers with CS3

I am working with Photoshop Extended v10.0.1 on Mac OS v10.5.8
I went from PS v5.5 to v10.0.1. Big leap.
In v5.5 I was able to use the Line tool, Rectangle tool or any other shape tool to draw on different layers. I could control the lines width and color. You would be able to see all of the different shapes on the different layers all at once unless of course you hid a layer. Now in 10.0.1 if I draw one shape on one layer, then another on a second layer, the second layer makes the first disappear. In fact I can't seem to draw more than one shape on any single layer, PS always automatically makes a new layer for the new shape. I've tried searching the manual for this and can't come up with the solution. I know much has changed between these two versions but is there something I must do to be able to draw shapes on different layers (and multiple shapes on one layer) and have them all visible like it was on v5.5?

It looks like your shape layer color is white on both layers
and so is the background layer.
Double click on icon to the left of your vector mask in the
layers palette to change to a different fill color.

  • Flash cs3 "Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped..."

    I am getting the error message: flash cs3 "Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol"
    I have only one symbol in the layer, a graphic.
    Does anyone know how I can correct the "problem"?
    Thanks in advance.
    karen.

    as the above poster mentioned I am guessing you have more than one object on that layer. you may have created a symbol from a shape and not selected the stroke.. that is pretty common.
    to verify what is on a particular keyframe do a "select all" cntrl-a or cmd-a. maybe you will see more than one item selected.
    look at the properties panel. if you have only one thing it will note the symbol or it will say "mixed".
    perform this test in the first and last keyframe.

  • Merge layers with their filters?!

    Hey Good day,
    Is there any method in Flash cs6, we could merge layers with filters?!
    I have assigned some filters (Drop Shadow / Glow/etc.) to several  MovieClips in my flash design.
    Now if I select the "Direct/Cpu" render mode, the speed will dramatically slow down.
    If I select the "GPU" render mode, the speed is perfect but I lose all effects (shadows, glows, etc.)
    What is the best solution in this case?
    In Adobe Photoshop there is an option (Rasterize Layer Styles) to merge layers with all styles.
    Is there any similar option in Adobe Flash to merge movie-clips with filters??
    Thanks a lot

    you can use a bitmapdata object to create a bitmap of your untransformed movieclip (using the draw method) and use applyfilter method to apply a filter to your bitmapdata object.

  • 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 -

  • Excel drawing shape shown differently in 2 computers

    anyone encounter drawing shape missing in  excel? open the excel in 2 different computer but shown differently. tried to start excel in safe mode but still the same.

    the wrong one:

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
    Which Office version are you using with the two pcs?
    Do the two pcs have the same operation system and software environment?
    Based on my test with my local environment (Window 8.1 & Excel 20013; Windows 7 & Excel 2007/2010), I recreate some sample drawing like you provided, but I could not reproduce your issue.
    General speaking, if you are using the different Office version with the 2 pcs, the Excel file might display differences, because there also might be some compatibility issues.
    I recommend we try the following steps to narrow down the issue:
    First, open the file with third pc that installed the same Excel version with correct pc if possible.
    If the file display correctly, we'd better focus on the wrong pc (Second pc).
    Then, we may try the following methods and check they are helpful.
    Update the Office/Windows patches.
    Repair Office.
    Update the display card drive
    Next, if this issue still exists or could not open it with third pc, I recommend you upload the sample file through OneDrive, I want to download and test it.

    It's recommended to download and install

  • Is it possible to draw shapes on an background image?

    Hi all,
    I wanna ask if it is possible for loading an jpg as background image in Canvas, and draw shapes(ovals/rectangles) on it?
    I've tried, but it seems the shapes always covered by the image. How can I due with this? I want the shapes drawn on top of the image, not underneath it.
    Please Help! Thx.

    Am I doing anything wrong? cos I've already draw the shapes after the image in the paint method.
    Here's some of the program coding:
    // init
    PictCanvas coffeeCanvas=new PictCanvas();
    //set up Picture Canvas
    coffeeCanvas.thePic=getImage(getCodeBase(),"50p.jpg");
    coffeeCanvas.setSize(200,200);
    // paint method
    public void paint(Graphics g)
    g.drawImage(thePic,0,0,this);
    g.drawOval(0,0,20,20);
    repaint();
    }

  • How to implement BINDING between drawing shapes and properties?

    See this background info:
    Can we have BINDING between drawing shapes and properties?
    This needs more specific info. My application reads a number of XML files, and places the data in an Excel worksheet. Let's say that there are 20 XML files, the app creates 20 lower tabs (spreadsheets) named: "Item 1", "Item 2", ...,
    "Item 20".
    That is the current version. I am told by the users, however, that in some cases there are some XML files which create more than 1 Excel lower tab.  For example, the file: "Items 8-11.xml" needs to fill tabs 8, 9, 10 and 11.
    In that particular case the user will modify the default map (a 45-degree diagonal, equivalent to the
    identity function F(x) = x), by clicking around. The resulting new map will look as follows:
    Since the number of XML files does not change, the number of rows is constant. However, each time a black square is moved from its canonical (45-degree) location, a spreadsheet becomes "orphan" and therefore the application must create a new Excel
    lower tab (which is a grid column). IOW: The number of columns keeps on growing to the right.
    List<Model>
    I figure that (as opposed to DataGrids which grow and shrink vertically, which each Model being 1 row) this thing should use the column as fundamental Model.
    Before running the main app (the XML file reading procedures), the user will select a menu item named "Configure XML to Excel Mapping" and an interface similar to the image above will be shown.
    In addition to the property binding, which has been discussed, how should I implement the drawing and erasing of black and white squares? I guess I will need some sort of "ConvertTo" bidirectional bridge from/to boolean and square drawing?

    You lost me with the xml file and the tab and the wossname to the thingummybob.
    I don't follow the explanation, sorry.
    The way to show stuff like that isn't dependent on how the data is stored where though.
    I probably wouldn't draw them, as such.
    I'd probably just make each a usercontrol which bound the fill brush of a rectangle for the black white bit and used a border for the outline.
    To simplify that:
    <Grid> <Border>
    <Rectangle Fill={Binding FillBrush}"/>
    </Border>
    </Grid>
    FillBrush
    Would be a public property solidcolorbrush exposed from your cellvm
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using System.Windows.Media;
    using GalaSoft.MvvmLight;
    namespace wpf3
    public class CellVM : ViewModelBase
    private SolidColorBrush fillBrush;
    public SolidColorBrush FillBrush
    get { return fillBrush; }
    set
    fillBrush = value;
    RaisePropertyChanged();
    You can then have some logic somewhere which tells that viewmodel to show black or white fill.  Which would be that converter bridge thingy equivalent.  This thing is true then FillBrush = whiteBrush else FillBrush = blackBrush.
    You could probably do it with just rectangle, lose the border and set the Stroke on the rectangle.
    The stroke is the outside line round a rectangle ( or any shape).
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.shapes.shape.stroke(v=vs.110).aspx
    And you would of course do other stuff like sizing the usercontrol and arranging an list in a list as I explained in your other thread.
    Oh.................
    But to answer the question in the title.
    Yes you can bind all sorts of things including the point making up a polygon, brush used to draw the line and all sorts.  You could even do flashing cells if you wanted.
    Hope that helps.

  • Epson Printing Problem with CS3

    My Epson Stylus Pro 9600 has a problem with CS3 printing. When printing large images (i.e. 36x60) a portion of the image would be missing at the bottom (blank) The 10.01 update addressed this issue but it seems not completely. The problem was attributed to using a "Custom" print resolution however I still have this problem and after much testing I have narrowed it down to the "Finest Detail" check box under the custom, advanced tab. Checking this "Finest Detail" check box reproduces the problem.
    I'm not sure where the problem lies whether it be Photoshops new stripped down print code or Epsons drivers. For the mean time I will keep this feature de-selected. Hope this helps other frustrated Epson Owners.
    Vista 32, dual quad xeon 2.33
    Photoshop CS 3.3 Extended (Masters Collection)
    Epson Stylus Pro 9600, Drivers ver 5.52, current printer bios

    Adobe blamed Epson drivers for not anticipating CS3's changes. Like they're clairvoyant or something. Their reason was that it was too hard to take into account every printer on the market when writing the new (unasked for) CS3 printing module. A feeble excuse when it comes to Epson pro machinery, though - it is the industry standard, after all.
    Solution? - use CS2 for printing, authored back when Adobe wrote its software to be compatible with existing equipment and drivers, not expecting the world to fall into line with whatever it decided it would do. CS2 works flawlessly with my 7800, CS3 remains a basket case for the same reasons you mention, though checking/unchecking the fine detail box makes no difference. CS3 is erratic - sometimes it works as directed, but then out of nowhere it will suddenly decide to attenuate a pano print.
    We'll see if they get it right with CS4's "improved" printing, but don't hold your breath.

  • Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • [js] CS Scripting not working with CS3

    Hello,
    We had a JavaScript made for us that enabled the user to exchange certain text within a document.
    This script works fine with CS (Ver.3.0.1) but gives a JavaScript Error - #55, Error String: Object does not support the property or method 'findPreferences' with CS3 (Ver.5.0)
    I have tried 'tinkering' around with the scripting - but I have zero experience with JavaScript and have not found a solution.
    Additionally the people that wrote the initial script are not available.
    I have bought several books but they all seem like alien-language to me
    Below is the section of origional CS scripting.
    Can anyone point out to me WHY this script does not work with CS3?
    And WHERE I should start looking - changing?
    Thanks in advance for your help and guidence.
    Lee
    // Exchange the text
    function actProjectData(oneDoc, oneResult){
    app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;
    oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[0],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myProjectTitleCharStyleNa me)}, undefined);
    oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[1],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferNoCharStyleName)}, undefined);
    oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[2],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferDateCharStyleName) }, undefined);
    app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;

    > Come to think of it, maybe it's easier to create a folder "Version 4.0 Scripts" under your scripts folder and place your CS script in there. Maybe that will do the trick. Should have thought of that earlier.
    Tried this, but it didn't seem to do anything... But certainly a 'try' worth.
    Currently playing around with the:
    > app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "a";
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "b";
    oneDoc.changeText();
    I've got to the point where I have no error messages :-) Now I'm really flying.....
    Fact is - not all text and also the wrong text is replaced!!!
    I'm currently playing with the script to try and replace
    all texts with a given paragraph style with the entered text...
    Not proving to be simple for me, but I'm learning rather a lot!
    Now that doesn't sound very clear when I go back and read it!
    What I want to say is:
    Each page of the document has the project name, No & Date on it (each having their own paragraph style)
    so
    With this script it asks you the Project name, No. and Date and then goes
    through the whole document and replaces all instants of those texts with specific paragraph styles with the newly 'entered' text.
    Proving to be a little mountain for me - Thought it would only be a hill!

  • In hell on Windows 7 With CS3

    Okay I have windows 7 now, no matter how i fought the change it was inevidable .. I was suppose to be Windows Ultimate but I can't the ULTIMATE part to to work...
    Here's my problem as you cans see from the photos above that i had to uninstall CS3 , Unfortunately not all of CS# was uninstalled which has caused me problems with accesseing any other adobe product  because well, the messages above is my respond to every Adobe product there is, weather it came with CS3 or not.
    This is my Cry For Help
    Please Please get this off my Computer so I do not have to reformat the whole thing yet again. because of your Software.  I am very disappointed that Adobe didn't think it nessessary to make updates for Windows 7 and thought this would be okay with the people that has paid hundreds of dollars for a program they can never use again...  I had to swich Photo Editing software as you can see by the list photograph on the left hand side.. So if it would be convenient for the developers to send me some simple instructions on removing these issues from my computer or may perhaps make a update to work with this Operating System  (WINDOWS 7) i would greatly appreciate it....
    PS I do expect a answer since i paid over 1000 for this Suite of yours..
    Thank you for your time

    you can find my information on File please EMAIL Instructions ASAP.

    Run the cleaner tool and try again.

    Beyond that there is no point in making a fuss - paid upgrades are a valid "fix" to solving technical issues and if you haven't bothered it's only natural that an ageing version will eventually no longer be compatible with contemporary operating systems and computers.

  • Opacity Masks in cs4 can't find layers with main objects on it.

    I created image with flag and did clipping mask with some text. Now when I do a opacity mask my other layers disappear and i can't seem to bring them back. I use the transparency to mask and clip. After that my layers with the first original items I can't find them or get back to them. Can someone tell how I can resolve this problem.
    Thank you!

    Once you start editing your opacity mask, you have to go back into normal editing mode by clicking on the object on the left side in the transparency panel.  Click on the right to edit the mask, click on the left to get back out of that to editing the rest of your document.  It's a bit confusing the way it's set up - there's no obvious indication that you're editing your mask and are isolated from the rest of your document...

  • Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac? 

    Peggy
    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

    From your authoring application do a "file-print" and select the Adobe PDF printer rather than the attached local or network printer / plotter.
