How do I transform a clipping path and layer at same time?

I have a bunch of images with clipping paths that need to be altered. Most images need skewed or distorted, and I can't figure out how to transform the path at the same time I transform the layer - so I do not have to create new paths. Thanks
Working in Photoshop CS2

I’m afraid You will have to employ a workaround.
I would recommend applying the Path as a Vector Mask to the Layer (with the Path selected command-click on the Add Layer Mask-button in the Layers-panel), then transforming, subsequently duplicating the Vector Mask and removing it from the Layer.
Or copy-paste it into the existing Clipping Path and then remove it.
Some part of the procedure may be automate-able with Actions or Scripts and hopefully it will still save at least some time.

  • Question: How to keep QTmovie + Photoshop doc open and working at same time

    Hi there, does anyone know how I can keep BOTH my Photoshop file windows AND a Quicktime movie open and running at the same time. I am trying to follow a set of tutorial movies that I downloaded from a podcast (and I've also tried using a Photoshop Tutorial CD and same thing happens). The problem is when I try to follow along by having a Photoshop file open, the minute I click on the QT movie all my extra Photoshop windows (layers, brushes, history, etc) disappear, leaving just the file. This is no good because what I'm trying to do with the tutorial is to duplicate what they are doing in those windows. Of course when I click back into Photoshop they reappear but by this time the QT movie has raced ahead and the minute I go to pause it .... Photoshop goes again ... is there a way to keep all windows to both applications visible ?

  • CS4 Photoshop How do I reverse a clipping path.

    I made a clipping path and accidently clipped the outside of the bottle instead of the bottle. How do I reverse the clipping path? I know there is some icon that is supposed to show up on the top control bar but I am not finding anything.
    Thank you.

    Hi. Yes, options is checked. Yes, black arrow is selected.
    No, those little boxes such as below - do not show up.
    I'll be happy to attach a picture of what I have for screen shot if you can send me a way to do it. Thank you.  I am not getting a little camera icon. Usually to attach at the bottom it says something about attaching an image.

  • How do I get the full path and filename of the current document?

    I'm writing a format plug-in. How do I obtain the full path and filename of the current image (document) from within my plug-in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I actually just figured this out. For anyone else who would like to know, check out the propetizer sample code in the photoshop sdk. It makes a "filter" plug-in that just spits out all the properties of the document you could ever want to know about. The function I used to get the full path and filename of the current document is PIGetDocumentName(). I hope this helps someone eventually...

  • Why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas

    I am on a IMAC and upgraded to 10.6.8 Jan 2014. I am using CS4 Illustrator to create with. When i save my work as a pdf then reopen the pdf in Ill to make changes, the whole page has:
    A.) Multiple clipping paths around it
    B.) Most text has now become outlined. Not editable anymore.
    C.) Gradient areas have multiple clipping paths of the single gradient area
    D.) The gradient areas now become rasterized.
    This is very frustrating as now all of my marketing files, some 300+, are worthless. I don't know where to look anymore to find the problem.
    Please help.
    Thank you very much

    John,
    I have the presets as you have shown. I had been editing the supplied items as you suggested. Then figured i should ask the questions of those who are better than I.
    But still a bit confused as to why the new save places clipping paths around the document.
    Thank you John and Monika for your help.
    why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas
    created by John Mensinger in Illustrator - View the full discussion
    I do a save as "pdf" in the format pull down tab. I save to a folder on the hard drive. Where is the "Illustrator editability" check box? I presumed it is in Acrobat some where
    but i seem to be lost.
    It is in Illustrator's Save Adobe PDF dialog, which pops up before the saved file is written.

    Sorry i didn't mention this, but this seems to have occurred when using images and text from provided pdfs.
    That's a critical fact. If you didn't do the original save, the above is moot, and it's too late to exercise any control over the save process. Someone else failed to save for editability. The only thing you can do is clean up/repair the content, (release clipping masks, rebuild rasterized elements, expand objects, etc.), and save correctly as AI. Then, if necessary, re-save as PDF with the correct settings.

  • How do I keep my clipping path from shifting positions when I crop an image? [was: Question]

    How do I keep my clipping path from shifting postitions when I crop an image?

    The work path will remain positioned relative to the same underlying pixels after a crop.  Are you trying to position it relative to one or more image edges after cropping?  I don't think you can do that without moving the workpath after the crop.

  • CS6 clipping path for layer group

    Hi
    In PS cs6 i cant find how to create clipping path for layer group (apply to folder from some shape layer with alt + drag&drop) created with pen, rectangle etc tools.
    Here is how it should look in cs6 but i don't know how to do that
    Thanx in advance

    Shape Layers’ Vector Masks don’t appear in the Layers Panel in CS6 (seems like a bad idea to me, but that’s the way it is now), so you could still select the Shape Layer with a Path Tool, select the Paths, copy, select the Group, paste, Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path or command-click the Layer Mask icon in the Layers Panel.

  • I had to reset my Apple password and now my iTunes and iCloud passwords no longer work. How do I get them linked again and under the same password. I've tried my new password on each login screen and it isn't accepted.

    I had to reset my Apple password and now my iTunes and iCloud passwords no longer work. How do I get them linked again and under the same password. I've tried my new password on each login screen and it isn't accepted.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • How to collect form responses in adobe formscentral and at the same time receive form responses through email

    My client wants to have the form that I created in FormsCentral to be able to collect email responses. So to do this, I downloaded the form as PDF then imported it into Acrobat. I created a button in Acrobat (this will be for the email response part). I used this script for that function:
    // This is the form return email. It's hardcoded
    // so that the form is always returned to the same address.
    // Change address on your form to match the code below
    var cToAddr = "[email protected]"
    // First, get the client CC email address
    var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;
    // Now get the beneficiary email only if it is filled out
    var cBenAddr = this.getField("BennyEmail").value;
    if(cBenAddr != "")
    cCCAddr += ";" + cBenAddr;
    // Set the subject and body text for the email message
    var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"
    var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the filled form attachment for your own records"
    // Send the entire PDF as a file attachment on an email
    this.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: cCCAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});
    I got it from here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address
    I'm still kinda not sure how it works but I'm getting the idea. Now what I'm having trouble with is, how do I make it so that the user will be required to click on the scripted button and at the same time, also click on the FormsCentral's generated submit button? Because as I see it, the user can click on the scripted button but they can just close out the form without submitting it to FormsCentral.
    Is there any way to make my idea work?
    Any help is very much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I do not know or have time right now to look up NDP format.
    To write to NTFS from Mac, you need a driver.
    And to write to HFS from Windows also.
    I strongly recommend Paragon drivers for both.
    That way you can access anything from any platform.

    How can I copy documents from a Sharepoint On Premises library to a Sharepoint Online library and at the same time preserving their metadata?
    I use the Open Explorer Windows to drag and drop the files, but the metadata are not copied. Thanks.

    To maintain the metadata you'll need to use one of the third party tools that does this kind of migration.  Metalogix has a product with a free trial that we have used before.  (Don't remember whether the free version maintains metadata or not).

  • HT1926 I get a message stating MSVCR80.dll is missing. How to fix? I have removed and re-installed multiple times.

    I get a message stating MSVCR80.dll is missing. How to fix? I have removed and re-installed multiple times.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
