How do I apply the blur filter to all my layers at the same time?

Hi I'm working on a background for a web page and I want to try how different filters are going to affect all the layers. Is it possible to apply a filter to all the layers without flattening the file first? Thanks very much,
Cathy

Thanks very much , that's really helpful,Cathy

Hello!
There is no need to flatten the file, but you can create a layer that merges all the content of the image, and apply the filter on that layer.
Target the topmost layer, by holding the Option and . (period) keys, then create a merged copy by holding down Command Shift Option E.

  • How do you apply the same password policy to every PDF document you create with inDesign?

    All,
    Adobe peeps!,
    I don't know if this is really supported with inDesign 5.5, but here is my my use case:
    I constantly create more than 10 PDFs a day using inDesign
    On  all PDF's I create, i want to apply password security to protect them
    But in order to do so, within inDesign, I am   always forced to go to the "security dialogue" pane to set up the same permission  and passwords over and over again
    This gets tiring :/
    So what I am hoping to do is  the following:
    Like acrobat, I want to create a password policy within inDesign
    I want all PDFs created to have such a password policy  be automatically applied
    I know acrobat supports something like this (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d68.w.h tml), but, unless I may have missed something, the Acrobat feature is limited. That is, the help link  does not tell me how to automatically do this with Acrobat either (the link does not explain to me how to "automatically apply the same password security policy to every PDF document I save within the application). I think the only way to do so is via "Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES", but for non server users, I am hoping there is another way.
    So my questions are:
    Is it possible to create password security policies in inDesign?
    Is it possible to apply the same password security policy to every PDF i create in inDesign?
    If not, can I change default settings within Acrobat ProX to automatically apply a password security policy everytime I save a PDF?
    If all fails, do you guys know of any extensions that can support this?
    Any help would be great. Thanks!

    Steve,
    Thanks for your notes. To follow up on your response.
    Bummer. I kinda had a hunch at this inDesign limitation.
    I have been aware of the method for setting up of a security policy within Acrobat. While this feature does cut down some of the work involved in creating and applying password policies to pdfs, what I am looking for with Acrobat is to apply the same password policy to every document I save from the app. Automatically. Without having to manualy select a policy.
    I think my solution will have to lie in me creating some sort of script to help support this need. I don't think Acrobat Pro X has the capabilities to allow me to tinker with, say, creating a save PDF preset that will allow me to automatically apply a password policy.
    PS. I am using acrobat pro x.

  • How do you apply the same transformation to multiple layers?

    I've been using PS for years and never had to do this before.
    I have a 3D image of a tradeshow exhibit and I want to drop in a lot of different mocks for backgrounds. The 3D is in a slight perspective and I need to transform all the mocks to fit that space.
    So how do I link my backgrounds and apply the same "skew" or free transform to all of the layers?
    PS version CC 14.2.1 x64

    What exactly am I alt+dragging?
    My mistake.  I was thinking about filters and alt-dragging them to a new layer.  For a transform, you most likely will want to make one master SO, apply the transformation, then make duplicates via copy from the layer flyout menu.  Then you can replace the content with the other layers.

  • How can I apply the same crop to multiple photos?

    It is easy to apply the same Adjust settings to multiple photos by using the Copy and Paste in the Adjust pane. Or by using iPhoto Batch Enhancer.
    But can you apply the same crop to multiple photos? I don't see any way to copy a crop. iPhoto Batch Enhancer can do something like it but, being an external editor, it does so on a copy of the photo. I want it on the original photo. (Well, it's not really the original since that one is saved separately in the Library but on the current version).
    Thanks for any suggestion.
    Bo

    Here's how:
    1 - bring up the first photo in the edit window and click on the Crop button or *use the "C" key on the keyboard*.
    2 - set the crop size/ratio in the menu and position the crop window over the photo as needed.
    3 - click the Apply button or *use the Enter key*.
    4 - click on the right arrow in iPhoto or *use the right arrow key on the keyboard* to bring up the next photo.
    5 - click the "C" key to bring up the crop function.
    6 - repeat steps 2 thru 5 for each photo.

  • How to use at the same time the audio sounds of a keyboard & the midi sounds with mainstage

    Hello! hope you can shed some light on my problem! I want to be able to use at the same time the real sounds of korg sv-1(stage keyboard, but it could be any stage piano with USB midi) and use other sounds from mainstage. Of course i switch between patches and sets with a footpedal so i can be quick with my changes of sounds so I try to keep my hands on the keys.
    My question is: Is there a way that one moment for example i have a silend patch (from mainstage) and the real sound i want passing through audio and the next moment silence from korg and the next patch a sound from mainstage? Or even combine them. I mean in general how am I able to integrate the sounds I prepared and organised in patches in mainstage with the beautiful piano & rhode sounds of my sv-1?
    thanx in advance for your response!

    Yes. To have a silent Mainstage patch, simply do not create any instrument channel strips. To have the SV-1 silent on a patch you should be able to set and save the volume for that patch to 0. As an alternative you could turn local off on the SV-1( this function will reset to local on after the SV-1 has been turned off). With local off you can determine with each Mainstage patch whether or not you want to transmit MIDI to the external instrument(SV-1) channel strip. If you have local on, be careful not to create a MIDI feedback/loop with the SV-1. This is a lot of info to digest at once, so take it slowly, step by step. Snapshots below are somewhat in order.
    Click on the cog wheel in the upper right corner of the channel strips section to get to this menu. Select add external instrument channel strip.
    The external channel instrument strip will look like this.
    Click on the MIDI output box to show the display below and choose your external keyboard destination(SV-1).
    In the channel strip inspector you can send patch changes to the SV-1.
    Here is where you select the MIDI input for routing MIDI to the SV-1. If want no SV-1 sound for this Mainstage patch, select none.
    You'll need to play with these parameters to get the desired results. Stepping through the MS patches with a footswitch can be done, too, but that can wait for now. Post another question when you master these steps.

  • How to record at the same time broadcast an internet tv show?

    I do an internet tv show on stickam.com and I use the flash

    video ....but I would like to record to my hard drive. Is there a
    way to do that?
    Thanks,

    well, cygwin will not be able to "zip" at the same time, nor will unix does.
    this is because "zip" can not be written/read sequentially, as gzip/compress could
    if you use tar+compress, you could do that with pipes. I tried and it seems cygwin can do pipes (I did not know). but
    mknod mypipe p
    gzip <mypipe >dmp.z &
    exp file=mypipe did not work as it would in unix

    well, maybe zip could work on unix. I just remind zip/unzip as basically not working thru pipes. But under certain circumstances, it may work...

  • How can I apply the same filter to multiple inboxes?

    I am looking at transitioning from Outlook to Thunderbird -- mostly for the Google calendar integration.
    The one thing I am having problems with is the filters. I have multiple email addresses and I would like to be able to apply one filter to all of the email addresses. Ie: I get an email from Bob sent to me on my email address 1 and the email goes to bob's folder. Then I get an email from Bob on my email address 2.
    I would like to have the same rule to be effective for both of my email addresses so if bob uses either email address, the mail goes to bob's folder.
    Right now it appears that I have to create a unique filter if I get email from 'bob' on email address 1 vs email address 2. Am I missing something?

    Nope. Thunderbird's filters are specific to accounts.
    You could set them up in one account, then copy that account's ''msgFilterRules.dat'' file to your other accounts.

  • How do you apply the same filter to more clips simultaneously?

    I am trying to color correct a group of sequential clips and I was wondering if there is a way to apply the filter as if the clips were one single clip, without first exporting them.
    Thank you for the help.

    If you want to make the same color correction to multiple clips. color correct the first clip.
    copy the clip
    In the timeline highlight all the other clips you want the same color correction to be placed on.
    Control-click a highlighted clip
    Select paste attributes
    check the filters box, hit okay

  • How do I apply the same set of commands?

    I am sorry if I am overlooking this, but this is hard to
    search for in the manual. If i want to go to an object, or
    keyframe, and transform it ...scale it, etc. and change color, or
    apply a transition... in other words, change more than one thing at
    a time, and I need to do this to a number of objects, can I record
    this (like in photoshop) and do the same changes again and again
    just by using a shortcut?

    If you`re doing it with Actionscript you can pack your
    commands into a
    function.
    Flash itsef does not deliver any macro functionality afaik,
    but you could try some third-party-software like "Auto It"
    (freeware).

  • How do I apply the same navigation menu to all pages?

    Hi!
    I'd like to apply a standard navigation menu to all the pages
    in my site.
    Can it be done, or do I need to write the menu for all
    individual pages?
    Thanks for any advice!

    What are you trying to do?. If you simply want to recreate
    the same
    navigational structure across the site then the answer is
    yes. You can
    create a nav structure and place it in each page on your
    site. On each
    page, though, make sure the paths assigned for each link are
    correct.
    If you are looking for a solution in which you create the
    menu one time and
    have all the pages on your site point to that one nav
    structure then you
    should look into server side includes. You can read up on it
    here:
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html.
    With SSI, you create the
    menu one time and point each page in your site to that one
    particular file.
    Any changes you need to make are only made once and are then
    reflected
    through the entire site.
    You should also consider looking into a menu system that
    automates much of
    the work for you. Project VII has some excellent tools for
    this:
    http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/index.htm
    Good luck.
    John
    I can be done using a server side include

  • How do I apply the same duration to all my pictures on the timeline?

    How do I change the duration of my pictures in one shot?

    Thanks for trying to help me out.
    The problem is that I'm doing a wedding slideshow, and 5 seconds is too long for the pictures. To match pictures with the beats, I want to put different lengths on different sections of photos.
    I've selected all of the pictures I want to change, and set the picture duration at 4 seconds. Now however, there is a one second gap inbetween each of the pictures that is now empty. Is there a tool that can now shove everything together?
    (Also, somewhat off topic, but not worth making a new thread on- Is there a video transition effect that is random? I'd like to be able to set the default transition on random so they aren't all the same)
    Sorry I'm kinda clueless about Premiere. I've just recently started using it and it's a little.... Hard to learn on my own. Thanks for everything though!

  • How do I apply the same effect to all frames in CS5 animation?

    I need to add lens flare to all frames at once - but it needs to be applied to the flattened image.  I don't want to have to flatten, click lens flare for each of the 70 frames seperately.
    Here is the gif and photos illustrating what happens if I select frame one - unflattened and flattened.  The spinning globe of course is the animation that is inserted into the surrounding jpeg: http://bobwoolcock.com/images/300_Jiminy-Glick.gif

    Could this filter not be applied to a separate black Layer, that sez to Blend Mode Screen and extended in the Animation Panel in Timeline Animation instead of Frame Animation?

  • How do I Apply the Same Style to All Frames of a GIF Animation

    Making a simple GIF. I have 8 Frames. Each Frame is a seperate Layer. I want to stroke all the frames in one shot. How can I do that?? Thanks

    thanks. I'll give some of that a try. I'm assuming I can apply a stroke to all the layers just by selecting them all and then doing Edit > Stroke (I think that's where strok lives, I'm not in front of Photoshop at the moment.) I don't understand "reapply those layers as frames", but I'll see if I can figure it out. Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.

  • How do you apply the school proxy settings to the ipad to filter website searches?

    How do you apply the school proxy settings to the ipad to filter website searches?

    Hi Stebop1987,
    You will want to apply a configuration profile with Global HTTP proxy settings to your proxy server. Use Apple Configurator or an MDM to deploy the configuration profile to your fleet of iPads. I recommend you contact your web filter provider for detials on what proxy details to enter in the configuration profile (type, server, port, username, password).
    Hope this helps!
