Help with CS4 tabbed image mode?

How does one drag a layer from one image to another in tabbed mode?
I'm forcing myself to work with the tabbed image interface as I assume someone thought this new feature was a good idea.
I often drag or shift+drag layers from one image to another, whether it be adjustments or image elements that need to be placed (in register) as a layer in another open image.
But when I use the tabbed interface mode any attempt to drag a layer from one tab to another does not work.
What am I missing???
Thanks
Russell

Yeah I noticed the same limitation.. they making floating document mode extra ****(UI interface that doesn't adhere to System OS visual style, documents that no longer move with the main PS UI, like when you adjust the mainframe size or move the window floating docs would get moved and stay within the UI, unless you dragged and floating doc outside the main ui frame, which was good, but now it seems floating docs always live outside the mainframe and appear above docked although open panel UIs.. not to mention the new theme looks like complete and utter dogshit.. but oh well.. CS5 might get some more work.. maybe they'll bring back the pallete well.. ******* adobe noobs.
I too liked to drag & drop of layer objects onto another document its common thing I do when working in photoshop.. I just can't believe how lame Adobe are that they couldn't allow this functionality seeing as a tabbed UI is the default setup now..
seems like the only way around it is to use the now **** floating document mode... or use one of the splitview modes.. course those are crap, but at least you can D&D layer objects, and then switch back the single doc tab.
lets not get into the flakey **** opengl support and functionality.

  • Need help with CS4 transitions

    Hi,
    I am trying to use a cross dissolve transition. To make it simple, I have two clips. I'm obviously doing something wrong here. I've watched the Adobe TV tutorial and all the guy does is to select cross dissolve from the effects box, and drags it over to the clip on the timeline. I think I am doing the exact same thing, but when I play my clip back, I can see no transition effect played back.
    Maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place I thought, so I tried putting it in front of the split between the two clips. Then again at the beginning of the second clip. Neither of them worked, so I shut CS4 down, and booted it up again. I started a new project, and put two new clips in it. I put the dissolve transition at the beginning of the second clip, and it worked like a charm. Then to see if that was a fluke, went to a point about 3 minutes earlier in the timeline. So now I am on clip one. I go and make a cut in the timeline, and try to place another Cross dissolve at this spot. It appears to place the transition there because it creates the rectangular box, and it has the name cross dissolve in that rectangular box,but when I try to play it to see the transition, it isn't working. Go back to the beginning of the second clip, and that one still works perfectly.
    I noticed that there is a difference in the appearance of the two cross dissolve rectangular boxes. The one that works has a single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right in the cross dissolve box, and then there are a whole series of diagonal lines that go from upper left to lower right all across the cross dissolve box . It looks like a whole bunch of dark gray and white backslashes. In the one that doesn't work, there is just that single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right. No backslashes on this one. What am I doing right in the first one, but not in the second?
    I find that it will work perfectly if I put in a new clip. If I put in the Cross Dissolve at the beginning of a new clip that I add to the timelime,  it will work perfectly. It is only when I try to split a clip that is already on the timeline, and then put the cross dissolve in at that point.
    Perhaps it is not possible to do what I am attempting to do. Maybe you can't split a clip and place the transition at that point?

    When I am shooting video, it is not unusual for me to be taping a scene of a mountain, for example, and then put the camera on pause, while I briefly position myself to take video of the river that is flowing at my feet. That is what is happened on this clip that I am attempting to put the transition in between. Rather than having the scene just instantly change at this point, from the mountain to the river, it would be nice to have a smoother transition then that.
    My mind was working on the problem while sleeping last night, and I think I might understand how to handle it. It might have been too simple for me to think about yesterday. I haven't tried it yet, but would it not work, to insert the mountain scene from my source monitor into the timeline, and then go back and insert the river scene into the time line instead of inserting both of them at the same time. Would these not now be two separate clips on the timeline, and the transition could now be applied?
    Your analogy with the DJ is very good, but it isn't quite the same. You are correct in that he would be only fading from one song to the same spot on the same song. In my case I am going from an image of a mountain to an image of a river. Same clip, but different images. I appreciate the help, and your thoughts.

    From a creative standpoiint, I don't understand the desire to transition from one clip to the exact same spot on that same clip.  That's like a DJ at a night club fading from one song to the exact same spot on that same song being played on a second CD player.  What's the point?

    I just googled and found lots of folks with the same problem.  One fellow wrote this as a soluton:
    "All you have to do is
    remove the values from the imageLinks in the flash element. That
    should fix it."
    Does it?

  • Help with exporting and image size or boundaries?

    I am trying to slide the cat into the scene a little at a time foir an animation project I am working on. However, when I export the image the back ground of the image expands with a checkered back ground( showing here in white) and shows the whole cat.
    How do I just show a little of the cat on the image at a time when exporting. I am trying to give the impression that the cat is walking into the room. I do not want to have to cut the cat up.

    That page refers to a Spry JavaScript file and a Spry CSS

  • Problem with Current Tab Image property of tabs

    Hello. I am having trouble changing my tab entries to appear as images. When editing a standard tab I went to the section labeled "Images". Then I put values in for "Current Tab Image" and "Non Current Tab Image", and after running the page the images do not appear. The tabs still appear as text. Does anybody know what the problem is?
    The paths that I tried to use for the images are:
    button.gif
    #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#button.gif
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Never mind, I figured out the solution.
    I'll explain what needed to be done for those of you that come across the same problem.
    I had to edit the Page Template, and go to the section "Standard Tab Attributes". All I had to do was change the text "#TAB_LABEL#" to "#TAB_IMAGE#"

    - it isn't the problem, *.gif works perfectly. But thanks, your note is helpful, i'll redraw images to png:).
    To Daryll.Burke - I think, that my style of writing on this forum wasn't the main problem. If you want to help me, please focus to problem itself and not on details ;). I have rewritten everything, hope that it will be more readable for you.
    edit.: I have read my note from yesterday second time, and i think, i wouldn't understand it too, so sorry, man;)
    Main problem (or definition of "doesn't work, as you said) is, that every time i try to compare *tile[tilenum]* (where tilenum is from interval <0;600) ) with *null* object, NullPointerException is thrown.
    {code}Image tile[] = new Image[600]
    //building map:
    void tileBuild(...){
    for (Y...){
    for(X...){
    try{

  • Help with creating thumbnail images

    Hi there
    I need some help with a webpage that displays images.
    I am capturing an internal xml file ..and want to display:
    An Image or images with a width of 130 px and height of 130
    px
    My problem is that when our users upload the pictures to the
    website ..they are not resized ..and they would not know how to use
    a program to do this.
    Is there a code or way to take the uploaded picture file and
    reduce it to a size of 130 x 130 in the existing page?
    It currently is displaying the full size image(s) which are
    take up 2 screens.
    thanks for your time ..Rob

    > Is there a code or way to take the uploaded picture file

    In the HTML you can just give it a width and height of those
    values.
    However, the full image is still loaded by the browser, so if
    the image is
    large, it's still going to be a bandwidth hog.
    Ideally, you'd resize on the server at time of upload. This
    can be done with
    various components depending on the particular back-end
    server/scripting
    language.

  • Need Help With Waveform-driven Image Effects

    Hi,
    I've been working on a full-dome 3D animation for a couple of years now and I'm looking for someone to help with a custom plug-in for After Effects, Photoshop and/or Combustion. I need to be able to drive filters and effects like Brush Strokes and 'sketchy' noise with the waveform from an audio file. I've been using a very poor mans workflow in which I've mapped the waveform by breaking it up into vertical ranges of varying intensities and then applying respective levels of the effects and filters to the sequential images based on where they fall in the waveform ranges. So for the test Ive done, I've been literally applying Photoshop actions to very small packets of still images from rendered sequences, and it has been dizzyingly time-consuming. Ideally I would want to be able to do this dynamically with a motion graphics package, but really I'm looking for as much help as I can get.
    This project began as my master's thesis and I'm working on it during the free time I have between teaching and freelance work; I don't have much money but I am willing to pay for help with this goal. There is still a lot of 3D work that I still need to do and the rendering process will be slow, so this wouldn't be a job with strict or tight deadlines. The final images will be very large (3200x3200) and with the growth in the full-dome market, these sizes could easily increase. If anyone is interested or could help me with this endeavor in any way, please respond to [email protected] Thank in advance to anyone who reads this.
    Max

    See the SDK_Backwards sample to see how to acquire audio data from a layer. This is the same access method used by AE's own waveform drawing plug-ins. Feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

  • Can anybody help with UCCE feature "Work Mode on Outgoing" in Agent Desk Settings

    Hi,
    my customer wants to have a wrapup time till the agents change their state to "ready" by
    themself.
    So I have configured the maximum for wrapup time 7200 sec in Agent Desk Settings.
    But I have a problem with the feature "Work  Mode on Outgoing" in agent desk settings in
    ICM 7.5.5.
    I think I  recognized the function of this feature. It works like that:
    - if  an agent gets a call via ICM or directly on his phone he will be set  into work mode
    - if he make a call and the called number answer  that call the agent is still on work
    mode after he hung up
    - but  if the called number doesn't answer that call and the agent hangs up his  phone he
    is in ready/not ready state and that isn't the expected state.
    (  you can also rebuild this when you go off hook and then on hook again)
    The  problem is when the agent in state "ready" gets a call via ICM and  after he hung up
    his phone he is in state "work Ready". Now he makes an  outgoing call but this call will
    not be answered and if he hangs up his  phone he directly gets a new call from ICM because
    he was in "ready"  state.
    Is it possible to set a registry key or do another  configuration for that feature "work
    mode on outgoing" that it works for  every new call even if the call will not be answered?
    Cheers,
    Tobias

    ed_umansky wrote:The proper way to make outbound calls is to first go Not Ready then make a call using the desktop software.
    Agreed. In fact, with CAD and CTIOS you cannot make an outbound call when Ready.

  • Help with CS4 and fireworks

    Hey all, running out of time I am trying to set up a website for my sons baseball team this spring and I am in a little bit of a pickle. I am using DW CS4 and I have set up a slide show in fireworks CS4 as well, when I create the slideshow and test in a browser it works with no problem. Here is where the issue comes in to play, I create a sideshow using the the (player-black flash and when I import it into dreamweaver and set it up on my page I save the page and when I test I have no pictures show up. (I have included a screen shot) of  what happens. I have tried different type of players and they all do the same thing. I have watched videos on how to import the slide show into dw and as far as I know that is not the problem. I have downloaded the most current version of adobe flash player but still no luck. And this is the one thing that everybody wants more than anything the pictures of games. Can anyone give me some help or suggestions, I have downloaded a software called visual sideshow, but I like the way fireworks looks and I plan on adding more slides as the year goes on. For what it is worth I have the copy of Adobe master collection CS4, but being new to web design and watching videos on fireworks it seem to be the easiest to learn. Can anyone give me some feed back on what I may be doing wrong. By the way I am using Win7 if that matters any
    Thanks,

    Fireworks is not the ideal solution for slideshows. Creating images, yes.

  • Help with adding a Image in post

    Hello everyone,
    I need some help solving a problem I have come across. I am a student and I managed to pickup a free-lancing gig editing a interview video for an author. The interview was shot in front of a red curtain backdrop. During the 2 shot of the author and his guest, he wants me to insert an image of his book cover. So I inserted the image however he is quite the hand-talker and at times his hands and his guests arm disappear behind the book image. Being an amateur/student I have not completely learned everything and I dont know how I would go about placing in the image to allow his hands and arms to appear in front of the image rather than disappear behind them. He said he knows someone who uses vegas and said its possible to place the image in a different layer? I am not aware of anything like that for FCP. If this is possible to do can someone point me to a tutorial or even give me instructions on how to accomplish this?

    A RED curtain? Wow, they really didn't want to make this easy, did they. There is a lot to making a good difference matte, it's no easy task. My suggestion is, get a book on compositing, watch Lynda.com tutorials, do whatever you have to to learn how to do it right, and then charge a lot of money for it. My view on people hiring students to do this kind of work is that they figure they can get you while you're green and don't know what the job is worth. They can't afford a professional who charges accordingly.
    Kudos to you for getting the gig, but don't let them get away with having you do a ton of work for peanuts, or even worse, for free.

  • Help with viewing raw images in iPhoto 6

    Hi:
    When viewing raw images from my camera (a Canon 20D) in a large or full screen format, after about 5 seconds I see at least a dozen tiny white dots on the image. These occur 100% of the time.
    If I "retouch" the image and save it, they go away.
    Also, they never appear if I shoot and import JPEGS from the same camera?
    Is this a bug in iPhoto 6 and, if not, can someone explain or help me with this?
    Thank you!

    I have the same camera so i checked out the raw images--sorry no spots show up.

  • Help with importing .raw images and b+w filters

    I have recently been taking alot of b+w images.  With most of these images I apply a red in camera filter.  When I then import the pictures into lightroom 2.3 a color version of my picture is then rendered, without the red in camera filter that i took the pictures with.  Does anyone know of a way to restrict lightroom from changing .raw images to their color version and to show them as they were taken.  If it matters I shoot with a Canon 1000D.   PLEASE HELP!!   Thanks.

    Lightroom ignores metadata settings which are what is applied when you work with RAW and use Canon's Picture Style settings.  
    Those will be applied to JPG, but not RAW.  This is actually a feature, not a bug, because it's considered to give you more control by using the settings in Lightroom for Monochrome, and apply red tints-- plus you could always still have the flexibility of making a color print if you wanted, which you'd lose if RAW enforced the Picture Style settings.  If it bugs you, shoot in RAW+Jpeg (or just Jpeg), and bring the Jpegs into LR, but I'd recommend sticking with RAW and applying the edits you want in Lightroom instead.

Maybe you are looking for
