Is it possible to reset a layer's bounding box to exclude alpha?

I searched the forum before asking.... I'm not even sure how to ask this properly... I have imported several layers from a photoshop file. Many of the layers are in groups to give me some pre-comp options in AE. On import, I did NOT choose to retain the layer size (or whatever that third option is) — I brought the file in just preserving the layers themselves. The precomps (when placed inside my master comp) have a bounding box that is limited to JUST that PSD's group content. However, if I open the pre-comp itself, all of the layers bounding boxes are scaled/sized to the size of the comp (in this case, 640x960). This means that the smaller layer items (say, a hand) has it's anchor point in the middle of the comp and the handles are on the perimeter of the comp. SO, even though the hand layer is only 200x200px in total size, I've got all the negative space included in my bounding box.
What I'm wondering is this: do I need to move everything out of groups in my PSD in order to be able to see the relatively appropriate bounding box? Or, is there a way to "crop" the bounding box so that it finds the widest and tallest distances of a layer's content (excluding the alpha) and then trim/crop/reduce/adjust/resize itself accordingly?
I'm not sure how else to ask it. Sorry.

Okay... so, I had the import types reversed in my head. Importing as "Composition", will force the bounding box of every layer to fit the width/height of the comp itself. Importing with "Composition: Retain Layer Sizes" will actually crop the bounding box down to the layer's content.
I thought retain layer size meant that it kept the size of the canvas, regardless of transparency in the layer.
Still, it would be nice to know if there is anyway to address that scenario in AE....

  • Can´t sync movies with iTunes 11.1.4 (on Mavericks 10.9.1) to iPhone 4S with iOS7. Is there a possibility to reset the sync on iTunes?

    I produced some videos in iMovie 10.0.2 and transfered they to iTunes 11.1.4.
    That worked so far....
    After that I´ve compressed the movies for the use with iPhone and iPod
    .....also worked.....
    Then I tried to sync the movies to my iPhone4s with iOS7.0.4. The sync starts, runs and ends without an error. But after that I can´t find the movies on my phone. There is enough free memory on my phone and I also tried to shut the movie app and restart my phone. The movies are still not there.
    When I check what´s on my phone with iTunes (iPhone connected), iTunes says the movies are on my phone!?!?!?
    Maybe there are some troubles within a sync "library" or something like that? Is there a possibility to reset the sync services or whatever is responsible for the sync?
    Or maybe somebody has another solution which solves the problem!?
    The strange thing is that my music, books and all the other stuff will sync fine!
    Hope that someone can help me with this issue.
    thanks a lot

    I´ve fixed this issue as follows:
    1) did a backup of the iPhone in the cloud
    2) reset the iPhone in manufacturing mode
    3) restored the backup out of the cloud
    After that the sync with iTunes worked well also with movies.

  • Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

    Hi friends,
    Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
    if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Yogesh

    Hello Yogesh,
    Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
    If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
    => Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
    Call this in the program for resetting the password.
    => CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
    This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
    Hope this helps.
    PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.

  • I forgot my password for my mac book retina which I just bought 1 1/2 months ago. Is there any possibility to reset it?

    Hi, I forgot my password for my mac book retina which I just bought 1 1/2 months ago.
    Is there any possibility to reset it? I guess (not sure) the operating system is os x.

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
    (these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
          the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
          command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
         until you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
         message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
    You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
    First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
    Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
    Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
    mount -uw /
    ifconfig lo0 up
    cd /var/db/netinfo
    netinfod -s local
    Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
    The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
    Now, enter:
    sync
    reboot
    and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

  • Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

    Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

    As stated, no way to do exactly what you want, but an option might be to turn OFF Visibility for that Layer, if you do not want it seen, and then Flatten, and do a Save_As.
    If you do want that Layer seen, but not able to be edited, then Flatten, with Visibility ON, and Save_As.
    The question is, do you want the recipient to see that Layer, or not?
    Next, Do they need to be able to edit all other Layers, but just not that one?
    Last, what type of Layer is it?
    Good luck,

  • Possible to reset the workspace to mimic the older, classic PS look?

    I really don't like the new workspace / palets layout in PS CC. Does anyone know if it's possible to reset the workspace / palets / interface look to mimic the older, classic PS look that we've all been using for so long?
    -John

    There's nothing radically different about Photoshop CC.
    Don't speak for others.  Many serious Photoshop users have upgraded through every version.  The changes have all been evolutionary.
    That said, for more specific help, maybe you could supply a little more info?  How about describing specifics, such as what you're seeing that's different, how you'd like it to look.
    For all you've written, it's possible that you may just want to disable the Application Frame in the Window menu.  We can't really tell.

    After performing "reset factory state" (with HP Recovery Manager) I noticed the malfunction IE9 32bit.
    Moreover, the absence of other software preinstalled (missing: Hp Hp setup-documentation-IE9 64bit).
    When I tried a new reset, HP Recovery Manager to the voice system recovery (factory state) tells me:
    (disabled: to restore the system, use recovery media)
    Using Recovery DVD (in excellent condition),you  receive the following error message:

    View Solution.

    I have no more 'answer because my computer had crashed complete.
    I apologize.
    Order the media why?
    If discs created the first time the PC will not work. I suppose that does not solve the problem discs hp (I also read about a problem like mine. This problem has not been resolved with the media bought by HP).
    I shot weeks the web and I finally found the appropriate procedure.
    I made several attempts to solve the problem. But now I have succeeded.
    1- Show Hidden Files \ protected
    2- Enter with a program (es: file commander) in recovery partition and copy the file or files base.wim. My is about 18 Gb, 1 file.
    3- We need a second PC and dvd
    4- Follow a procedure described by internauta 37.
    Search "Ripristinare portatile HP senza DVD e se l'HP Recovery Manager non funziona Internauta37"
    E 'was for me a little complicated but in the end I have my hp to the state of factory and everything works perfectly.

  • Reset radiobutton list when check box unchecked

    I have a static PDF registration form that I am working on using LiveCycle Designer 8.2. I would like to learn how to have a radiobutton list reset when a particular check box is unchecked.
    When registering for the event, users have the option of attending 1 of the 4 optional afternoon workshop sessions. I have successfully made the workshop radiobuttons hidden until the check box is checked using the following code:
    (check box is named "Reg4" -- this is where they say "yes" I'm going to attend 1 of the 4 workshops,
    radiobutton list of the 4 workshops is named "RadioButtonList3")
          topmostSubform.Page1.Reg4::change - (JavaScript, client)
         if (this.rawValue == "0") {
           this.resolveNode("RadioButtonList3").presence = "hidden";
    When the user unchecks the "Reg4" checkbox after they have selected 1 of the 4 workshops, that radiobutton is still checked.
    What I'm looking for is to have the radiobutton list reset (or again hidden) when the Reg4 button is unchecked (after previously being checked).
    I hope my description is clear. Is this possible?

    Thank you again, Jono, for your reply. I was worried that the Static PDF was the trouble but I just couldn't take no for an answer!
    If you're willing, I'd be happy to send you my file but am unable to post publicly.
    In an earlier version the RadioButtonList3 is hidden when first viewing the file. It was done using FormCalc. (I know you said don't mix the languages but, hey, it worked!) Also, I found a post you had last year in the discussion "Prompt User to click checkbox (radio button)" where you described a message box using Java. I snagged that and put it on the enter event of the Reg4 field.
    When I preview the PDF, this is what I now have:
    Upon first view, RadioButtonList3 is hidden and am unable to select (perfect)
    When I check the Reg4 box, I get the "You will be registered for a..." warning message (perfect)
    I can now make a selection in the RadioButtonList3 (perfect)
    If I uncheck the Reg4 box without making a selection on RadioButtonList3, the RadioButtonList3 again hides (perfect)
    If I check the Reg4, then make a selection on RadioButtonList3, and then uncheck the Reg4 box, the RadioButtonList3 is reset (perfect)
    BUT the RadioButtonList3 is still visible and a selection can now be made (not perfect because the Reg4 box is now unchecked and the user will only be registered for the event if Reg4 is checked)
    #1 RadioButtonList3 will hide only if it has not been selected and reset first.
    #2 The warning message only appears the first time Reg4 is checked.
    These 2 items somehow seem related. Is there something that tells it "use this code when you first open the document but act differently once you've started checking boxes" so it only acts as I intend on the first go-around?
    Here's all of my code:
      topmostSubform.Page1.RadioButtonList3::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
    if (Reg4 == "0") then
              RadioButtonList3.access = "readOnly"
    else
              RadioButtonList3.access = "open"
    endif
    topmostSubform.Page1.Reg4::change - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.rawValue == 1) {
      RadioButtonList3.presence = "visible";
    else {
              RadioButtonList3.rawValue = "";
      RadioButtonList3.presence = "hidden";
    topmostSubform.Page1.Reg4::enter - (JavaScript, client)
    if (RadioButtonList3.rawValue == "") {
         xfa.host.messageBox("You will be registered for an Optional Workshop ONLY if this box is checked. Don't forget to tell us which workshop you will be attending.");
         this.rawValue == null;
    So sorry for the lengthy post. I'm open to any ideas that anyone may have.
    This certainly is a learning experience!
