Duplicate exposure layer problem

Has any run into a problem duplicating an exposure layer into a new image using Photoshop CS4 64bit?  My i7-Windows 7 with lots of ram crashes every time I attempt.  Duplicating other layers into new file is not a problem.  Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

Is this the effect you are going for?
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.randomtext >=.1 and _root.randomtext <=.15
and
this._name=="frowny"){
_root.i+=1
var item = duplicateMovieClip(this, "frowny"+_root.i,
this._parent.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(item);
if(this._name!="frowny"){
_root.namebox=this._name;
this._x-=10;

  • PS CS5 Crashes whenever I try to duplicate a layer...

    I have Win 7 x64
    This problem just started today, but I've had CS5 installed for a few months now. Every time I try to duplicate a layer, CS5 crashes on me. This didn't happen last time I had this project open, and I haven't installed anything new, programs, plugins or otherwise...
    I tried trashing the preferences on starting CS5 (alt+shift+ctrl - click to open) But that didn't do anything...
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks all,
    Aza

    The first thing that I would want to rule out would be the video driver, and its OpenGL capabilities.
    PS interfaces closely with the video driver, and especially the OpenGL aspect. Just a simple OS update/hot-fix, can "break" the video driver. OS updates are usually transparent to most users, so things do change, but not from any direct action from the user - they go unnoticed.
    Check with your video display mfgr's. Web site, and plug in your video card's model on the driver download page. Next, plug in your OS, and check the version number and date of the latest driver, against what you are currently using. If there is a newer one, download and install that.
    Good luck,

  • Illustrator Script: How can I duplicate a layer ( with sublayers ) with javascript code ?

    Dear All
    I want to duplicate a layer structure, as the "Duplicate Layer" submenu do with Javascript code, but I can't.
    I can duplicate only PageItems or selected object, but no Layers.
    Anybody knows how can I do it ?

    Thanks for your answer.
    #target illustrator 
    var docRef = app.activeDocument; 
    var ln = 'Layer 1'; 
    var ol = docRef.layers.getByName(ln); 
    var nl = docRef.layers.add(); 
    nl.name = ln+' Copy'; 
    for (var a = ol.pageItems.length-1; a >= 0; a--) { 
        ol.pageItems[a].duplicate(nl, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); 
    The problem with this code is, that it can't duplicate also the sublayers, and the sublayer elements.
    Sure I can write a recursive function, but I think there should exist a duplicate function somewhere ( for Photoshop script exist ! ) or a small trick, but I can't find it.
    Thanks

  • Help! Photoshop CC crashes every time I duplicate a layer. Suggestions to fix this?

    Whether I drag the layer to duplicate it or right click to duplicate a layer, Photoshop CC crashes. It's very disruptive and I lose a lot work each time it crashes. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    There are no updates to Photoshop CC yet.
    What OS version are you using?
    What does the crash report say?
    And have you tried disabling all third party plugins?

  • Facing duplicate button press problem.

    Hi,
    I am a beginner to JSF technology. I am working on a project that uses JSF 1.1 specification. I am facing "*duplicate button press problem*". Most of the links and submit buttons do not respond. With a lot of search I found that this problem was fixed in JSF 1.2.
    I want to know whether upgrading to JSF 1.2 will work or not ? Also will it require code changes in existing code or simply upgrade will do?
    - Sax

    I'm not sure why you are focused on 1.1 vs 1.2 on this issue. For both versions you need the POST-REDIRECT-GET pattern, facilitated by the <redirect/> directive in the navigation rules.

  • Duplicate a layer together with its effects

    Hi,
    When I am duplicating a layer by layerRef.duplicate(newDoc) it is copied without its assigned layer effects.
    How is it possible to duplicate layers together with its effects?
    Or ideally how could I manage to duplicate the layer together with all associated settings like transparency, effects, blendMode, etc.?
    Thanks, Philipp

    It cant be done . You have to write a z pogram to update the data in the new dbtable.

  • How do you duplicate a layer and then change its adjustment layer?

    This used to be easy in PS7, but it's evasive in CS4. We occasionally need to duplicate a layer and then change the adjustment layer. For instance, we might have selected a section of an image and used brightness contrast and then need to create a new layer using the same section using selective color. What we have done in the past is duplicate the layer and then change the adjustment layer. Any ideas?

    You're great!
    Thanks a million, we've been struggling with this for at least a year.

  • Duplicate Item Filename problem

    Hello,
    I have a number of offline items I am eager to digitize. When I select any of them or all of them and select Batch Capture then press OK in the Batch Capture window I get a window that states "Duplicate Item Filename". It says "A file in use by Final Cut has been found to use the specified filename. Enter a different filename and click Continue or choose one of the options listed below." The options that it lists is greyed out. These filenames it thinks it is using are not on my system. I have searched and searched and found nothing. But if I can't batch capture I can't use FCP. Too many clips already logged. Has anyone experienced this same problem and if so what did you do about it?

    Yes, it's happened to everyone who has tried to recapture. Are you using Media Manager? If not, try that.
    The upshot is that you need to convince FCP the clips are no longer available regardless of their corporeal existence. That may mean restarting the machine, repairing permissions or deleting your prefs or, at least changing enough of your prefs so that the file is altered significantly.
    Wait, you're saying these files are not associated with your project?

  • Layer problem with graphics

    I have a layer where on one frame I have 3 dynamic text boxes
    which I convert to one graphic. These are used to display a value
    set through actionscript whilst a motion tween fades it in and out.
    I have called the graphic set1 with names on each of the
    inidividual textboxes. One I have finished with this graphic I make
    a blank keyframe later on and create another three dynamic text
    boxes on the same layer (different frame) and call them different
    name. The problem is when I go to set all three to one graphic like
    before and called it "set2" or anything.. it keeps reverting to
    "set1" and displaying them again in the new frame.... any ideas
    why?

    You're welcome, Ron. And BTW, I stated:
    "Or else, find the other frame object that is causing the text wrap. Does it need to be on? If not, cmd/ctrl B and turn the switch off."
    But I meant to say ... If not, turn the object's text wrap off using the Text Wrap panel.
    You probably figured that out, tho!

  • Layer problem with exporting nested Indesign Doc in indesign doc to PDF

    Hi folks,
    I managed to create a PDF with very strange layer behavior... even with content that shows when ALL layers are turned off...
    Here's how I did it:
    - I placed our two page company letterhead indesign document in another Indesign document.
    - Both documents have several layers (our company use up to 8 different languages for their corporate papers)
    - The document that I exported to PDF, has itself two layers, and the nested Indesign document is exclusively on masterpages in the second layer.
    - The nested Document has 4 layers visible, but consists of around 27 layers.
    - Turning on the layer that contains the letterhead doc, correctly shows the corporate identity on all pages that are based on the master layers. Turning the layer off hides it. So far, so good.
    - I use a PDF preset which renders a PDF with following settings:
    - When opening the resulting PDF, the layers of the main document are all there, as one would expect. However, toggling the layers visibility renders a weird result... The document is 4 pages, a usage contract. You can download it from our server via this link. Now if you would toggle the layer visibility of the "letterhead_def actual" layer that is supposed to hold only the corporate identity, you will find that all works correctly for the first two pages... but on the 3rd, all contents seems to have been combined onto the second layer... and on the 4th page, the contents landed on a layer that isn't even listed in the layers panel, as turning ALL the layers off, still leaves the Terms and conditions visible...
    This looks like a bug to me... I'm going to try and flatten the nested indesign document first, before I export to PDF to see what that brings, but that is of course quite the hassle.
    Would be interested to see if more people have run into this thing...
    Kind regards,
    Willy

    Contrary to popular belief, I am not a complete moron However, since this problem could just as well be in Acrobat as in Indesign, I thought it best to post it in the Suite forum first.
    Of course I could post in both the Indesign as well as the Acrobat forum, but then I'm sure there will be helpful readers suggesting me to put it in the other. One cannot win
    There for I shall leave it here for a while. If I don't get any meaningful feedback, I'll re-post it in the other Forii...
    Kind regards,
    Will

  • Set text of layer problem (escaping ' and " in javascript)

    Hi all
    I am using the Dreamweaver behaviour "set text of layer" and
    I am having problems with escaping
    single AND double quotes in the javascript.
    Because the text I want to set the Layer with contains some
    javascript.
    So the text of my layer contains both single and double
    quotes.
    I can escape the single quotes like this:
    But I can't escape the double quotes the same way for some
    reason.
    even if I use \" javascript thinks it's the end of the
    javascript function.
    So I have tried using &quot; in the javascript of the
    text to set, but strangely, although it works
    in Safari, it does not work in FireFox and IE.
    When I mouse over my javascript link set in the layer, the
    browser status bar shows the right thing
    in Safari, but in IE and FireFox, it shows extra double
    quotes...
    onClick="MM_setTextOfLayer('list','','<a
    href=&quot;javascript:;&quot;
    onClick=&quot;MM_showHideLayers(\'options\',\'\',\'show\')&quot;>designers</a>')"
    Anybody knows the answer to this one?

  • Dual layer problem

    I'm am trying to burn a dual layer PAL SD dvd. An error box comes up to say that the break point cannot be set, use manual selection but when I switch to manual the dialogue box does not appear. Any thoughts.
    90min main title (set as main)
    3 other titles totaling 80min
    1 first play copyright 10sec.
    1  menu with 6 min video as bg
    Vista 64bit
    Encore running under adminstrator.
    Richard Knight

    Richard,
    You stated:
    This is what I have also started doing and it seems to work.
    That is great news. Though I have never had an issue with the Layer-break on a DVD-9 in Encore, part of that could be that I edit my Sequences as Chapters and then have a separate Timeline for each of those. I've never even done a Chapter Playlist, because of my workflow.
    Also, when using ImgBurn for DVD-9's, I've never had any problems either, and have appreciated the greater control with regards to the Layer-breaks.
    I hope that ImgBurn continues to work for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS I love the little dialog and error messages in ImgBurn. I'll often do something deliberately wrong, just to see what the message will be - I need to get a life!

  • DW8 INserting a Picture in a layer problem

    Hi folks, while i design view, has anyone had any problems
    after inserting the image into the layer that the "Overflow" box is
    not available and only available before inserting the image?
    Supposidly, you should be able to make the overflow box to
    "hidden", but the overflow box disappears after inserting the image
    and I cannot find it. Also, the layer moves up towards the top of
    the page. Is this a poblem with DW8?
    Help...

    Huh?
    > Is this a poblem with DW8?
    Most likely not. Please list the exact steps you are taking,
    and what it is
    you want to do. The simple act of inserting content into any
    container,
    whether a 'layer' or a table, would not be expected to cause
    that container
    to change locations on the page.
    And what is the 'overflow box'? Do you mean the visibility
    column on the
    Layers panel?
    As a wild guess, I would imagine what is happening is that
    you are not
    inserting the image into the layer, you are REPLACING the
    layer with the
    image. Did you look at the code <shudder> to see if the
    layer's markup was
    still there?

  • "duplicate button press" problem in jsf 1.1

    I think the problem come from "duplicate button press", when the users press the button several time, many request is generated, the sad is I don't have the source code of this page, I just have the source code which receive these request, what I want to do is just handle the first request from the button and ignore the other, is it possible?
    also, because I can't modify the problematic button page (I have not the source), so even I upgrade to jsf 1.2 is not useful, is it?
    thanks!!

    First, let me say that it is strange to try to solve this problem without being able to modify the source page. If this is a political or administrative restriction rather than a real technical limitation I suggest you push back on whomever has created this situation.
    The most effective method I can thing of would be to remove the state of the view from the session (assuming server side state saving) upon receiving the first request. This will cause the subsequent requests to fail. Although, this might not be the best due to timing issues. Also, keep in mind that the user will just see the error message, they will not get the results of the first request.
    So maybe a filter which intercepts the requests. It could perform duplicate detection by hashing all of the request parameters. You could even keep the responses around to resend. Oops, I've just re-invented HTTP caching; perhaps interjecting a product which already performs that role would be appropriate instead.

  • Ability to Duplicate a Layer

    Consider adding a touch menu on each layer (press and hold on layer icon) that adds a "Duplicate" option. Or allow a layer to be selected (longpress the layer) and then clicking the + icon will contextually duplicate the currently selected layer.
    Been iterating through a number of options and being able to duplicate existing material would be invaluable.

    Being able to label them would be good too . . .

Maybe you are looking for
