Incredible lag while moving a group of layers

Since PS CS6 I've noticed this idiotic bug (which is also present in PS CC)... I have this incredible lag while I move a group of layers... the lag isn't present if I select and move all the layers in the group at once which should basically be the same thing.
I see that this happens if the group I want to move is located under another group with some layer styles applied like Drop Shadow.
Here's a link to a test file that I've made.
How to reproduce the lag:
- scale the canvas at 100%;
- try to move the Red layer group and you will see the lag I'm talking about;
- now select and move the layer inside the Red group... lag is gone!
- now move the Fixed Group under the Red Group;
- move again the Red group in the Layers Panel and you'll see that the lag is gone once again.
Please let me know if any of you can reproduce the experience I've described above using my test file.
My system is a Lenovo Y500 laptop with a i7 3630QM CPU, 8 GB of DDR3, intel SSD and an Nvidia GeForce 650M graphic card, running Windows 8.1 with all the latest drivers and updates.

Hey Chris... did you had the time to checkout my test file? I'm really curious if also experience the same like.

Is there a way to import a group of layers in one project in to another project ?

Hi all,
I'm currently using After Effects 5... yes that is version 5, not CS5.
I'm trying to figure out if I can import a group of layers and their applied Effects in to another project while keeping all the editable attributes and the positions of the imported layers with respect to one another.
I see that I can import a AEP project file in to another project via IMPORT FILE, but that just brings the raw layers/files in to the project window and does not place the layers in the timeline with all of their positions, Effects and edited attributes, the way that I'd like.
I also tried Pre-Composing the layers, but that does not leave them editable once a pre-comp has been made... it just makes the 7 layers that I want to import in to another project all one layer and does not leave them editable the way the the 7 layers are separately.
In Adobe Premiere, there is an actual "IMPORT PROJECT" selection under IMPORT that allows me to import an entire project file in to another project and lets me place the imported project where I want in the new project timeline... that is what I'm trying to do in After Effects.
I realize that there may be an easy way to do this in one of the newer versions of After Effects, and one might say, "just buy the new AE CS5", but I figured out allot of things on my own so far and I like After Effects 5 for what I'm doing now... maybe later on the newer version.
Thanks for any input,

Hi Andrew,
No, the two threads that I wrote back to report finding that old 1999 plug-ins package that were removed were...
Cannot find "Caustics" and "Wave World" Effects in After Effects downloads
...origianally at this link, but it is now gone and also missing from my "Discussions" list...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/959158
and
Is there an underwater effect that can be produced in AE 4.1 ?
...originally at this link, and it is also gone and missing from my "Discussions" page...
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4151249
I had saved the links to those threads with bookmarks, but they were removed the day after I posted about finding those plug-ins.
I wanted to get some info from earlier in the thread on one of those and when I went back they both were gone.
I was able to find those two threads by doing a site-webcach search on Google to see if there was a snapshot of each thread in Google's cache... I did find shapshots of those two thread but they were taken the day that I first posted the questions before any replies or subsequent posts by me were posted. Below are the Google cache links to those snapshots of those threads' pages, but as you'll be able to see, it only shows my original questions before all the replies by you and others on the forum and my final report of finding the plug-ins package...

Having the Adobe forums Gestapo remove those threads is a little like burning old software books... meaning, I guess Adobe just doesn't want people discussing old software downloads, even though I did not post the actual link for the the old "AE 6.0 Bonus Plugin Pack" and "AE 5.5 Power Pack Plug-Ins" that I found. I only reported back on those threads that I found the plug-ins packages after several lengthy Google searches. Since those plug-ins packages were no longer available from Adobe, I thought it was quite a find to be able to track them down elsewhere after all this time. They were 12 and 13 year old plug-ins packages, but they had been posted only in the last couple of years.
Someone else on one of those threads had also told me that AE 6 plug-ins would not work in AE 5, but that turned out to not be true... I don't remember who that was... maybe that was the person who removed my threads because he/she didn't like having a thread that indicated that he/she was wrong.
Anyway, thanks for your info again today... very, very helpful.

Applying adjustment layer to a group of layers

Is there a method to apply an adjustment layer to a group of layers?
I have a curtain on one layer of a Photoshop CS4 document.
I duplicated the curtain twice and repositioned the copies.
Now I'd like to use an adjustment layer to change the color of my curtains without affecting the rest of the composition (and I can't move the curtains down to the bottom because they need to sit above other elements).
I tried grouping my 3 curtain layers together and then applygin an Adjustment Layer>hue>colorize - but that's affecting the whole composition.
And when the layers are grouped, holding ALT while hovering between the adjustment layer and the group does not bring up the special icon that lets you apply the adjustment just to the layer beneath it.
Would apprecaiate andive on how to apply an adjustment layer to a group of layers.
(I can go back and apply my adjustment to the original curtain then reduplicate and reposition, but would have to repeat that procedure every time change color preference).
Thanks?

Put your layers in a folder, and change the folders blending mode from pass through to normal. You can then put an adjustment layer on the top of the layers in the folder, and it will only affect what is in the folder.

Keeping a mask stationary while moving the object

Hi all,
How do I lock a mask in place while moving the layer it is masking through the mask and out the other side. I find that the mask always wants to emulate the motion of its object, which makes sense. I've been manually deleting the motion path for the mask or animating a resize that makes the mask stay in the same location. I know there must be an easy way to do it.
Thanks,
Jim

Howdy,
Put the layer in a group, and mask the group. This will allow you to independently transform the layer without affecting the mask.

Unlocking groups keep layers locked

HI,
I'm running into this issue several times and it's really breaking my workflow.
When I lock a group and then unlock it, the layers within it remain locked.
I have this issue running Photoshop CS6 and CC on Mac OS X 10.9.1
It doesn't always happen.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

I'm talking about all the layers within a group.
I think I just figured out what's the exact sequence that triggers the issue:
1. select two or more groups containing layers (everything is unlocked and the groups are collapsed)
2. lock the two or more groups
3. select one group and unlock it
4. the layers within this group stay locked.
If locking 3 groups at the same time and then unlocking 2 out of 3, the first is fully unlocked (also the layers inside are unlocked), while the second has the issue.

How to see the object while moving on the artboard?

hello everyone;
maybe a silly question; how to see the object while moving on the artboard? i dont wanna see only the objects bounding box(outline of the object). i wanna see the object it self. thank you.

What have they gone and messed up now?
When I drag an object (with bounding boxes turned on), the object moves and the bounding box stays still until I stop dragging, upon which it snaps to the object’s new position.
If I don’t have bounding boxes turned on (as I usually work), the object moves when dragged.
If what Bedri says is right, they’ve gone and mended something that wasn’t busted.

Hi Veera,
Actually you are getting a warning message where one of two things could have happened. Either you specified an incorrect zone name or one of the zones has not been fully booted. It's likely that you haven't booted the zones, so please follow this:
zoneadm list -iv
If zone1 or zone2 are not running then boot and configure them
zoneadm -z <zone> boot
zlogin -C <zone>
After that you can continue to follow the step by step instructions at

Is anyone facing the similar problem of visible lag while opening app with 3G data on? It seems apple has made 5s slow to improve iphone 4 performance.5s was very smooth on 7.0.6 even with 3G data on. Is this a bug? Is apple going to fix this soon?

I have same Problem. I tried all options - Reset All Settings, Erase Content & reset all settings, Upgrated to IOS8.1, Restore using iTune. But problem persists.
When I turn Cellular Data or Wifi ON, then there is a lag while opening the Apps. But If I turn Data/Wifi off, phone becomes super fast. I have checked with my friends. They are not facing this issue. Not sure if Apple know this.

Photoshop CC 2014 hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer Group Layers or Layer Palette Group from Layers commands.

Photoshop hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer > Group Layers or Layer Palette > Group from Layers commands. NOT on creating new group and creating layers and drag-n-dropping layers into group manually in Layer Palette. Got a UI design file with nearly 800 layers and lot of groups. This doesn't occur in smaller files. Using OS X Mavericks, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2, Mid 2014 15-inch Retina Macbook Pro.
I understand that the solution would be just to cut the file into smaller files and design each UI view in a separate file but that would be painful. And it does not seem to be a very hard task to just group layers.

Does the document also have a lot of layer comps?
And can you post that document or send me a copy of it so we can see exactly why it is hanging?

PS CS6: It'd be helpful to have the option to collapse or expand the nested groups and layers.

PS CS6: It'd be helpful to have the option to collapse or expand the nested groups and layers all at once. Autodesk Maya has a similar feature in it's outliner that allows for you to do this.

And as Jeffrey Tranberry answered there:
• Open/close all layer groups (folders) at the current level of hierarchy: Cmd-click the arrow next to the group - This is handy when you want to open/close, say, all the top-level groups without disturbing the open/closed state of any groups nested within them.
• Open/close all layer groups nested within the current one: Opt-click the arrow next to the group - This is nice when you want to open/shut a bunch of nested groups, without affecting any that lie outside the target group.
• Open/close all layer groups, period: Cmd-Opt-click the arrow next to a group So, to keep things simple: when in doubt, Cmd-Opt-click a group’s arrow and you’ll collapse/expand all groups.
* On Windows please substitutes Ctrl for Cmd and Alt for Opt. .

Can't open a group of layers in Elements 13

I am trying to open a group of layers in Elements 13 but get the following error message: "you are attempting to open a group which is not supported in photoshop elements" Then it prompts to simplify all the layers into one layer. This is useless!!! How do I get around this? It is a simple enough feature and would think Photoshop Elements could handle it. Yes, I have the full software version, not the trial version.

The file is the following: Corporate Business Card | GraphicRiver
Do I have to purchase a creative cloud membership now? I already spent $150 on Elements. And that was money thrown away.
Which membership would I have to get if that is the case?
