Import multiple photoshop custome shape at once

Hi,
I have about 100 CHS files. how can I load them all in photoshop at once instead of clicking individual files which is time wasting?

The CSH file simply stores a Custom Shape for Photoshop to re-use.
By its nature you can only have one active at any one time but you can view them all together in the drop-down from the Options Bar or in the Preset Manager.

  • Import multiple Photoshop Elements catalogs

    Hello folks,
    I just imported one Photoshop Elements catalog from PSE6.0 into LR4 using "File:Update PSE catalog ...". That worked well.
    As I'm using multiple PSE catalogs I then wanted to import the next one into LR4.
    So I switched to the 2nd catalog in PSE to make it the current catalog in PSE and tried to follow the same procedure in LR4.
    Alas, the menu entry "File:Update PSE catalog ..." in LR4 is now grayed out, so that I can't import the 2nd PSE catalog.
    That would make it pointless to move from PSE to LR4.
    Can it be that LR4 assumes, having imported one PSE catalog is enough? If yes, is there any way to overcome that?
    My platform: W'7 64bit, PSE6.0, LR4.0, installs in German language, PSE catalogs located in a user selected folder
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    OMB
    EDIT: I finally found out how to overcome that limitation myself:
    1. Close LR4
    2. Open LR preferences file "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs" in a text editor
    2.a You'd better make a backup copy of that file before playing with it
    3. Locate the "Adobe_successfulUpgrades******" entry - in my case it started in line 5
    4. Delete that entry; important: make sure to delete all lines of this entry: the ones ending on a backslash and the closing ",
    5. Save and reopen LR4 -> the disabled menu entry is now available again

  • How to import multiple videos to project at once?

    Bonjour, first off, I love the iMovie iOS app, however, I feel it's missing a key feature. Is there a way for me to add multiple videos into a project at once without having to select them individually, and have the screen close, then having to re open it, and search for the other, and so on and so forth.
    It would be so much easier if I could just select multiple videos from the import feature on my phone. The videos take a while as it is to load in the feature, my project is being created from oldest to newest,  so I have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list, wait for all the videos to load so I can, and then an only select one so I must repeat the process.
    Any way around this yet?

    Import all your videos into iPhoto's library.
    Step 1: Plug your phone into your computer
    Step 2: open iPhoto (or if you have an iPhone it should open automatically)
    Step 3: click on you phone under "Devices"
    Step 4: hold down the "Command" key while selecting ALL the videos you want to import
    Step 5: Under "Event Name" give all your videos a general title (ie. Vacation)
    Step 5: Import
    Step 6: Open iMovie and look for the event name under Event Library
    Hope this helps!

  • Multiple Photoshop Image Import

    In Premiere Pro CS6, is there a way to import multiple Photoshop files without having to choose "Merged Layers" for each image? I am importing 1000 images that I'd like to keep the layer info intact for (ie, not flatten) and it is proving to be VERY time comsuming.
    Thanks!

    It's not possible even in the newest CC 7.1.  Layered PSD files are one at a time only.  I can definitely see the usefulness of a "Remember My Choice" checkbox on that dialog, though.

  • Pages custom shapes

    Hello,
    I currently have iWorks '09 in my iMac computer and running Snow Leopard OS.  I would like to have more custom shapes to choose from in the Pages program.  I also have Photoshop Elements 2008 and it has LOTS of custom shapes which have a file extension of .csh.  Can I copy some of these shapes from Photoshop and use these shape files in my Pages program and if so where do I go to in Finder to get to the file to add these Photoshop custom shapes?  If I can't use Photoshop files are there any other software programs that I can get files to use or even get files from the internet.  I still NEED to know the file directory to put these files in though.
    Thanks for your help.
    Linda

    No, the .csh is an Adobe format.
    Pages and Keynote use a special form of .svg file. You can not add to those shapes which are part of the .apps and available from the Shapes menu.
    You can by devious means import .svg files but they are simply objects in documents and not permanent members of the menus.
    Pages will happily import .pdfs, .eps and .ai files all of which are transformed into .pdfs inside Pages. You can not however use these like you do shapes, editing their fills and strokes. That has to be done externally in another application.

  • Define Custom Shape doesn't work in Photoshop CS5

    It seems to be impossible to Define Custom Shape in Photoshop CS5. This option in Edit menu always remains grayed out...
    Can anyone check and see if this is the case in your own installation of the program?
    Very same procedure works in Photoshop CS4 just fine, but not in CS5...

    Hi Fox,
    I think you might just have found a bug there. I've reported it upstairs.

  • IMporting multiple albums at once: sort on date added AND album or artist

    When importing multiple albums at once, iTunes ads them in the library in an all mixed up order.
    This makes it very annoying to change song info. I have to multi-select songs from the same album (clicking while pressing the control button) and then change stuff.
    1. Why can't iTunes automaticaly keep tracks from the same album together when adding new music from multiple albums?
    2. Why can't we sort by added date AND another column like artist or album?
    any solutions are very welcome
    greetz

    The order iTunes is showing the tracks can be changed. Select the album column heading to get tracks list in album order. Normally within an album the tracks will list in track order when viewing this way.

  • Custom shape tool missing from Photoshop CC tool bar

    Hi
    I am a subscriber to Photoshop and Lightroom CC and have just noticed (I need to draw a circle) that there is no custom shape tool in the left hand side tool bar; I've always just assumed it was there before. I've checked around and it seems as if it should be there but mine just isn't.
    Any help gratefully received
    Nick Garnett

    Hover your mouse over the line tool (just above the Hand tool) and select the Custom Shape tool from the menu which appears.

  • Import Custom Shapes into Pages

    Hi!
    I am not as glad with the "onboard" shapes of pages and want to import some custom shapes (from Inkscape or Neooffice) into Pages.
    It's no Problem with Bitmaps. But I just can't get vector graphics to get imported into pages.
    Is there an easy way to get things done? A simple SVG -> Pages Converter might do the job as well.
    Cheers,
    Fox

    Hi,
    thanks for the answer. Of course, I tried that, and it works (kind of). But the shapes aren't imported as paths, so I can't re-edit them in Pages. So, everything has to be done in Neo/Openoffice - or Inkscape, and this means I could also import them as Bitmaps. No real difference.
    Example: I want to import a shape and then change the appearance of the stroke - not possible. Or to Mask a Photo with my custom Object - not possible.
    Thanks nevertheless,
    Fox

  • Define custom shape error in Photoshop CC 14.2.1

    whene I try to define Custom Shape I got this message

    Those errors are from February 7, so not helpful.  (and they were probably due to bugs in Generator that got fixed in 14.2.1).
    Hmm, not sure why you aren't getting an error logged.
    And I can't seem to get any errors when defining a custom shape.
    What sort of shape/path do you have selected?
    What sort of document are you using?

  • Can anyone tell me how to load an image to custom shape in Photoshop? I can't save it as csh...

    I've made an image, as the watermark of our photos, but I can't load it to Custom Shape in PS CS4 as I can't save it as csh. Do you know how to upload an image type file that is not csh? Or how to convert the image to csh? Thanks.

    As Chris says, you can't make it into a custom shape unless you create it as a path. But you can save it as a Custom Brush (in monochrome).

  • Where can I download free custom shapes por photoshop?

    I only saw one that was free. But this is where they should be, when ever more are added.

  • Export Flexibility of Custom Shapes & Layer Styles?

    Over the past few years I've developed a workflow for icon creation that involves purely custom shapes and layer styles. This has been fantastic from a number of points of view
    - Vector based workflow for easy scaling, resizing
    - Easy maintenance of style coherence with layer style presets
    - Custom shape library means rapid prototyping of common elements
    While this approach in Photoshop helps me rapidly develop icons, it's now presenting some challenges from an export point of view. Specifically the path to vector based formats like svg and xaml is hindered by the fact that Photoshop and Fireworks/Illustrator don't share a common layer styles approach. (Fireworks having a XAML export plugin and Illustrator having both XAML plugin and SVG export capability)
    While the above programs are more geared towards vector work, they don't offer the flexibility of Photoshop when it comes to creating photorealistic icons with texturing.
    Is anyone aware of a method for exporting a vector element from photoshop while maintaing the editability of layer styles? (Exporting simple shapes in PDF works but falls down once masks and layer styles come into the equation)
    Fireworks CS4 seems to import select PSD's decently but there is not a 1:1 relationship between the layer effects from Photoshop. Illustrator seems to assume that anything coming out of Photoshop will be bitmap based and acts accordingly.
    Any feedback or similar experiences would be appreciated.

    Hi guys,
    From last week am I trying to do what I mentioned in post above, I just find it very difficult to do. Now I beginning to doubt whether it is possible or not, provided the SDK we have for CS4.
    What do you think, is it a doable item and I am missing some simple thing ??
    Please let me know of your views its really very important.
    Thanks,

  • Tutorial:  Creating, saving and re-using Custom Shapes

    I've beeen experimenting with custom shapes for the last couple of days, and thought I'd share some of the tips and techniques I found.
    First of all, what are custom shapes?
    Well, they're vector objects.  That means that they are not built out of millions of individual pixels (like images are), but rather they're a series of mathematical statements that describe how to draw a line from point to point to create the vector shape.  This means that custom shapes are "resolution independent", and that they can be grossly shrunk or enlarged and still retain razor sharp edges, curves and corners.
    What are custom shapes good for?
    Pretty much anything where you want to use a good, sharp object.  In particular, using a custom shape as a clipping mask for an image that's been placed as a Smart Object is an outstanding technique, and really shows off the power that PSE is capable of.
    PSE comes with a lot of ready-to-use custom shapes for its Custom Shape tool, and there are probably hundreds of thousands available on the Web -- just search for "photoshop shapes".  Typically, those shapes will be supplied as Adobe CSH (Custom SHape) files, and simply copying the CSH files into the
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Presets\Custom Shapes"
    directory will make them available for use with the Custom Shape tool.
    Sooner or later, though, you'll get the itch to create your own custom shapes.  Out of the box, PSE does not have the capability to let you create custom shapes and add them to the CSH files like the "big" Photoshop does, so we'll need to use a workaround:  store your custom shapes as layers in a PSD file, and when you want to use them simply copy them into your image. 
    N.B.:  To create custom shapes you'll have to use the reasonably priced Elements+ add-in:
    http://elementsplus.net/
    So, the procedure goes like this:
    Create a new image, using the PSE defaults, and save it as "CustomShapes01.psd", keeping it open.
    Open an image containing an object that you want to use as a custom shape.
    Use any of the selection tools to make an accurate selection of the object:
    In the Effects panel, use the Elements+...Paths effect and choose the Create New Path...From Current Selection:
    Use the Elements+...Paths again, choosing "Convert to Shape", giving it a name and colour of your choosing.  This will create a Shape Layer using that name.
    Important:  If your shape has "holes",
    use the Shape Selection tool and click on the shape to select it.  Then hit the "Combine" button in the Options Bar.  This will combine all the individual shapes used to create the shape and its "holes" into one shape, and prevent beaucoup problems later.
    Switch to the Move tool and drag the shape onto the tab of your "CustomShapes01.psd" image, keeping your mouse button pressed.  That image will become activated and you can move your cursor onto the image itself and drop your shape onto it.  Your PSD file will now have your custom shape as a shape layer:
    Save that "CustomShapes01.psd" file.
    You can repeat the process for as many custom shapes as you want, and they will each become a layer in the "CustomShapes01.psd" file.
    To use your custom shape, open the "CustomShapes01.psd" file and your target image and do the drag and drop with the Move tool to copy the custom shape onto your target image.
    I mentioned that using a custom shape as a clipping mask for an image placed as a Smart Object is a very powerful technique.  It's powerful because the custom shape can be altered at any time and still keep its sharpness, and because the Smart Object can also be resized without becoming pixellated.  Of course, that custom shape layer can have any number of layer styles applied to it and those layer styles will "follow" the shape if the shape is moved, resized or rotated.
    Here are three examples of using the custom shapes as clipping masks for Smart Objects:
    In this example, each custom shape is used as a clipping mask for an image Smart Object, as usual:
    Here, one custom shape was used as a clipping mask for an image Smart Object and they were linked. 
    Then the shape and image were duplicated and moved, rotated and resized.  Because of the linking, the Smart Object automatically kept its orientation and size relative to the custom shape throughout:
    If you want to use custom shapes as a "combined" clipping mask, the procedure is a little more complicated because you need to get all your custom shapes on one shape layer. 
    So, after copying your shapes into the target image (as separate shape layers), use the Shape Selection tool to select one of the shapes.  Using Edit...Cut will cut that shape layer to the Clipboard, and you can select one of the other shape layers and use Edit...Paste to paste the custom shape into that shape layer.  Repeat as necessary, and you will get all of your custom shapes on one shape layer.  Then use that single shape layer as your clipping mask:
    The neat thing is that the individual shapes can be selected with the Shape Selection tool and independently moved, resized or rotated as necessary.
    Enjoy!
    Ken

    Thanks, Michel.
    I forgot to mention one point about copying shape layers into one shape layer:  when you initially use the Shape Selection tool to select a shape for cutting, make sure the option for the Shape Selection tool is set to "Add to Selection".
