Help me with adjustments layers in CS4

I have all of my own keyboard shortcuts for adjustment layers, and when I am finished i hit enter and the dialogue disappears. very easy, very little mousing around. but now with cs4 the adjustment panel opens and after i make my settings it will not go away unless i move it or double click the tab, etc. much more convoluted and very annoying. is there a way to get back to the way cs3 worked? i have a second monitor where i keep panels like layers, history, paths, info, etc always open but i do not want to keep the adjustment panel open all of the time. i liked the old way b/c it would pop open then after i hit enter it would go away.

that helped alot. i didn't know i could assigned shortcuts to panels. i made one to close the whole panel and it disappears.
but i found that if i am working on in the dialogue and decide to reset the adjustment layer and cancel out because maybe i changed my mind or didn't need it, it still puts the adjustment layer in my layer stack. so there is an extra adjustment layer with no adjustments that i have to go and manually delete. if in cs3 you decided to cancel the adjustment layer it didn't add it to the stack anyway.

Problems with Layers in CS4

I have Dreamweaver CS4 setup on a new Win XP Pro computer
with 1gb of memory.
I was setting up a webpage that would act like a manual
photogallery. The user by clicking on one image could change to the
next image.
Everything was done using AP Div and hiding all the layers
except the first one. This all went well until I tried do two
things.
The first was to Create a Class for the layers called "Hand",
so that when the user moved the cursor over the layer(or image),it
would turn into the hand icon.
Normally I would done this by:
Open the page with the layers, then in code view, put the
cursor on any layer name. In the Property Selector, in the Class
Box choose "Manage Styles". From here I could create a Class named
Hand and apply it to all the layers.
In CS4 this is NOT an option and I need to know how to get to
the option called "Manage Styles". Another option (general) is how
to create a New Class for layers in CS4.
The second problem, was with Behaviors. To change images, I
used "Show-Hide Elements" with trigger being "onClick". That did
NOT work.
That not working, I switched to the trigger "onDblClick".
This did work. Is this a glich in CS4 or something I can fix? I see
this as a minor thing and was just wondering.
BTW Adobe did a nice job grouping the CSS Styles, AP Elements
and Tag Inspector Panels. Saves space and is very nice way to set
it up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If needed sample pages can be put on the web to see the
code.

Out of the block this means that you are improperly applying
the behavior
directly to the <img> tag rather than to an anchor tag
- <a> - surrounding
an image. All behaviors should be applied to anchor tags
(usually). To fix
this, select the image, and in the BEHAVIORS panel, change
the onclick event
to <A> onclick. That will have the effect of wrapping
the image with an
anchor, and at the same time, moving the behavior call to
that anchor. Do
this for each such image. To change the event, click on the
onclick event
in the event column, and then select the dark arrow to drop a
list of
choices. Now you will not need the custom CSS class, as links
on an anchor
always get the correct pointer by default.

It should. If you select each individual image's anchor (or
apply the
behavior first, and use the event change I described above)
you should be
fine.

Help needed with layers and project files....

Hello
I am new to after effects so this might be a simple issue for most. I am having an issue with my layers not matching the files in my project window. I accidently deleted a comp file the other day so I had to remake a few layers but they are not showing up in the project window/solids folder. I have 5 layers on my timeline and only 4 files in the project/solids folder. Some of the files names do not match the ones in the timeline. Is there a way to create a new comp with the files that I have open in my timeline or to replace the ones in the project window? I started a project a few days ago, Im trying to make a few partical orbs dancing on there own path then they will come together and then creates a few smaller ones. Im at the point where I want to copy one comp to another or copy the layers over but the particals follow one light instead of the original light from its own comp. I think the file names in the project window might be the issue but I really don't know. Any help or comments would greatly be appreciated
Thanks a million
Adam
Using trapcode particular and AE CS6
Windows system

Layers on the timeline are just instances of the source footage. If you rename them on the timeline, that won't affect the number or naming of the sources in the project window. Toggle the column header in the TL to see which laywer uses which source.

Help needed with layers stacking order

Hi all
I have been using Photoshop for 5 years and feel confident in its use, however, and you may think this is a little strange, I have never understood stacking order.
I some how just fell into the habit of applyng a layer and flattening. Now i really want to get over this hurdle so that i can save important images unflattened for further re-adjustment later.
I have browsed the web for two days and found nothing that helps me. The crux of the issue is that i get to a point where i have applied maybe three adjustment layers and then aaply say a sharpening layer only to find i cannot see its effect on the image due to its order in the stack. This is what i reall need help with.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Peter

The way I deal with issues like this is by toggling the "eye-cons" in the
layer palette to hide and show the various layers. In general, sharpening
should be done on the uppermost layer, but this can be problematic if you
have several layers, each with pixel data.
One technique that might interest you would be creating a sharpening layer.
For the simplest case, duping the original image, applying the high pass
filter, using the same radius you would for Unsharp Mask, and set the mode
to Overlay. I have this assigned to an action, attached to a function key.
Set the transparency to the amount (up to 100) that you would use for that
filter as well. If you need more sharpening, you can approximate this by
duping the sharpening layer. Use a layer mask and/or erase the sharpening
layer to control which areas are sharpened. Adjustment layers and other
changes can be applied either above or below the sharpening layer.
For more complex images, for example a group portrait with several layers
for the different people in the image, the sharpen layer needs to be
created by duping the entire image, flattening it, running high pass,
dragging the resulting layer onto your original image, and setting the mode
to Overlay.
If you clone or otherwise change the objects in the image, the sharpen
layer needs to be recreated.

Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??

Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??
I have a 24 second clip I layered in Ps and when I import the psd into Pr THE SEQUENCE IS ALWAYS ONLY 10 SECONDS!
How can I change this? Why does this happen? I really need to know as soon as possible. I have a video project due this Wednesday (granted it's for an AV class where I'm just learning Pr. But I can learn VERY FAST!)
Thanks for your help.
--OSXniCKels

Just in case I wasn't clear in my last line "just Click-drag on the Tail of your .PSD to set the desired Duration," once you have Imported your .PSD (as Footage), just drag it to the Timeline, Click-drag on the right-hand margin (the Tail) and stretch out its Duration, as is required.
Now, if you Imported as a Sequence, open that Sequence's Timeline, and do the same.
I normally will set my Edit>Preferences>Still Duration to about what I think will be applicable, do my Import, and then with the Info Panel handy, just alter the Duration to suit.
Good luck,

Can't compile with any layers hidden on timeline

Can someone explain what could possibly be going on?
Running CS4 I have a .fla that was compiling fine yesterday. Today I made some slight additions and it wouldn't compile, giving errors saying that various things were undefined. I was starting to go nuts until finally I made all layers in the timeline visible and compiled again. Now it compiles fine.
Just in case it was something Flash itself I created a new file, hid some layers and compiled and it was fine. So it's not the application, just this particular file.
What could be doing this? Why can't I compile with hidden layers?
Thanks for any help.

Hi fizbeam,
This happened to me a while ago!
It's annoying.. somewhere in the publish settings theres a checkbox marked 'dont export hidden frames' and if it's checked it'll cause this to happen.

Preserving layers between CS4 & Lightroom

I made a test psd file with three layers in Photoshop CS4. I imported that file to Lightroom 2.5. When I opened the file from lightroom into CS4 with the option 'Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments', the file was flattened i.e. all layers merged. I shut the file down in CS4. When I checked opening the file directly into CS4, the layers were preserved. If I added a curves layer to the flattened file in CS4 after it had been opened from Lightroom,and saved it withe same file name, closed it down in CS4, and reopened it from Lightroom into CS4 using 'Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments', again the image was flattened.
Conclusion - Layered files do not have their layers preserved when imported to Lightroom and trasferred to CS4 for manipulation.. Is this correct? If so it makes it impossible to pass images back and forth between Lightroom and CS4 and make non destructive changes to an image. Again, am I right, or am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks

Thanks, Jao
It's a pity
though I see why. Trouble is that, good though Lightroom's develop capabilities are, it often seems a rather 'blunter' tool to work with. I love it for its black and white conversions, and for its gradient dodging and burning, but to work on smaller areas of tone in images needs Photoshop, in my estimation. Because of the above cited interaction between the two, the holy grail of non destructive manipulation is unattainable. Sigh.......

you can check this link here you can see the steps and you can do it the same by looking at it..
http://smoschid.tripod.com/How_to_do_things_in_SAP/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS.html
SMARTFORMS STEPS.
1. In Tcode se11 Create a structure(struct) same like the Internal table that you are going to use in your report.
2. Create Table type(t_struct) of stracture in se11.
3. In your program declare Internal table(Itab) type table of structure(struct).
4. Define work area(wa) like line of internal table.
5. Open Tcode Smartforms
6. In form Global setting , forminterface Import parameter define Internal table(Itab) like table type of stracture(t_struct).
7. In form Global setting , Global definitions , in Global data define Work area(wa) like type stracture(struct).
8. In form pages and window, create Page node by default Page1 is available.
9. In page node you can create numbers of secondary window. But in form there is only one Main window.
10. By right click on page you can create windows or Go to Edit, Node, Create.
11. After creating the window right click on window create table for displaying the data that you are passing through internal table.
12. In the table Data parameter, loop internal internal table (Itab) into work area(wa).
13. In table there are three areas Header, Main Area, Footer.
14. Right click on the Main area create table line by default line type1 is there select it.
15. Divide line into cells according to your need then for each cell create Text node.
16. In text node general attribute. Write down fields of your work area(wa) or write any thing you want to display.
17. Save form and activate it.
18. Then go to Environment, function module name, there you get the name of function module copy it.
19. In your program call the function module that you have copied from your form.
20. In your program in exporting parameter of function pass the internal table(itab).
SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can
configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program passes the data via a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At runtime, the system processes this function module.
You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals, and sorting data before output.
You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can suppress the background graphic, if desired.
SAP Smart Forms also support postage optimizing.
Also read SAP Note No. 168368 - Smart Forms: New form tool in Release 4.6C
What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms?
Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms.
Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms:
SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time.
You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure (tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for graphics.
To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes.
These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language.
Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one.
For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form.
Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF passes form content from R/3 to an external product without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.
SmartForms System Fields
Within a form you can use the field string SFSY with its system fields. During form processing the system replaces these fields with the corresponding values. The field values come from the SAP System or are results of the processing.
System fields of Smart Forms
&SFSY-DATE&
Displays the date. You determine the display format in the user master record.
&SFSY-TIME&
Displays the time of day in the form HH:MM:SS.
&SFSY-PAGE&
Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node.
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
&SFSY-JOBPAGES&
Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.
&SFSY-WINDOWNAME&
Contains the name of the current window (string in the Window field)
&SFSY-PAGENAME&
Contains the name of the current page (string in the Page field)
&SFSY-PAGEBREAK&
Is set to 'X' after a page break (either automatic [Page 7] or command-controlled [Page 46])
&SFSY-MAINEND&
Is set as soon as processing of the main window on the current page ends
&SFSY-EXCEPTION&
Contains the name of the raised exception. You must trigger your own exceptions, which you defined in the form interface, using the user_exception macro (syntax: user_exception <exception name >).
Example Forms Available in Standard SAP R/3
SF_EXAMPLE_01
Simple example; invoice with table output of flight booking for one customer
SF_EXAMPLE_02
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_01 but with subtotals
SF_EXAMPLE_03
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_02, whereby several customers are selected in the application program; the form is called for each customer and all form outputs are included in an output request
Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)

F4v encoded with Adobe media encoder CS4 (longer than 71 minutes)

Hi I don't know if this is the correct place for this post. So apologies me if this is the wrong place.
Encoding with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (4.2.0.006 and 4.0 too)

Result: freezed frames and only plays audio at 01:11. Media Player goes crazy and starts showing some diferent parts freeze frames.
In Quicktime crashes, in VLC the same of MediaPlayer. Sometimes the audio starts to downsampling and sounds like the pitch goes down.
Totally agree with this other post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/580391

Thanks for the interest.
I'll try to explain all details:
MacPro 1.1 (mid 2006) under Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Darwin 8.11.1 kernel)
System files: journaled HFS+ and a unix based NAS (under samba connection)
I have all material on the NAS and also I make the transcoding over it. Is a simple mov containing DV PAL WIDE interlaced 25fps with stereo audio. typical settings with nothing out of DV PAL standard.
The version of MediaEncoder CS4: 4.2.0.006 (it happens with older versions too)
The settings of MediaEncoder are:
Audio: AAC stereo 44,1 kHz
Video: F4V. MainConcept H.264, fps like source, profile high, level 4,1. CBR compression.
The problem only appears with videos longer than 71 minuts. At 01:11 starts with crazy problems. It seems like the player have some read or problems.
Tell me if you need some other kind of information.

Using Javascript to rasterize a layer and maintain its position with other layers.

Trying to use javascript to rasterize just the contents of a certain layer by its name.
It needs to maintain its position.
I've sort of cobbled a script, but it keeps moving the rastered art to the top layer.
Ex, top down i have Layer 4, RasterizeMe, Layer 2, Layer 1.
The rastered contents end up on Layer 4
Any help would be apprecieated, or if theres a better method of doing this.
// Rasterize Layer by name
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        doc = app.activeDocument;
        if(!doc.saved){
            Window.alert("This script needs to modify your document. Please save it before running this script.");
        }else{
            createRasterLayer(doc);
    }else{
        Window.alert("You must open at least one document.");
function createRasterLayer(doc){
    var totalLayers = doc.layers.length; //get the total number of layers in the active document
    for ( var i = 0 ; i < totalLayers ; i++){ //looping through layers
        var currentLayer = doc.layers[i];
        var tempItem;
        if(currentLayer.visible == false) continue;   //We don't want to deal with hidden layers
        currentLayer.locked = false;                       //Unlock the layer if needed
        var layerName = new String( currentLayer.name );
        if ( layerName.indexOf("RasterizeMe") == 0 ) {
            currentLayer.hasSelectedArtwork = true;   //Select ALL in the layer
            if(doc.visibleBounds[2] == 0) continue;   // ignore empty layers
            var newoptions = new RasterizeOptions;

you're adding the group to the document, it will be the top most object on the top most layer
newGroup = app.activeDocument.groupItems.add();
use this to add the group to the current layer
newGroup = currentLayer.groupItems.add();
or if theres a better method of doing this.
I would
- loop through all layers,
- hide them all, except the one you want to rasterize,
- Rasterize the document
- unhide layers

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.

I'm having issues with text layers in photoshop. Text layers show it's there but not visible on the canvas.

I'm having issues with text layers in photoshop. They aren't visible. I've checked font size, alignment, layer order and color. And the layer list shows that it's there. All seems well but I still can't see the text that I write. Need help trouble shooting. (I asked this question about a month ago but I got sidetracked and never circled back.) Thanks.

Please refer to your original topic (Text Layer not Visible.) instead of posting a new topic.
