Layer Effects "linking" when combining layers from separate projects

I am taking a Pshop class and working on a photo-realistic project.  I created two main images as separate files.  Both have a number of effects, such as bevel and contour or drop shadow.  Separately, they look just fine. But when I duplicate the groups of one image and place it into the other, I've noticed that effects do not transfer over but rather take on the attributes of the image I am copying the folders onto.
Here is what I mean.  See how the nuts have a contour on them?
Now I will place the layers that make up the guitar into the other file.  I did not change anything, just duplicated layers.
Now I lost the countour.  Also note that the inner bevel around the bridge (the darker brown area) also got changed.  And the drop shadow in the hole of the guitar shifted.
I am guessing that it is taking on the attributes of the original file settings.  How can I keep these setting separate?
Hope this question makes sense.  Thanks for your help.

Thank you!  It's amazing how many little things there are to Pshop.  This was driving me crazy!

  • Huge DVD-9 project needs two Dual Layer discs - How to build a from single project?

    Hello Encore Pros,
    I have a DVD project with about 5 hours of video media and it won’t fit on a single DVD-9.  It has to be built onto TWO Dual Layer DVDs.   I’ve created the project as ONE BIG PROJECT in Encore CS6 (Mac Pro 10.7.5) with lots of menus, buttons, timelines, and media.  Here’s the $20,000 question: how will Encore know to build the project onto two DVD-9 discs?  Can I program it to do this and if so, how?  Or do I need to break the project into TWO SEPARATE PROJECTS (both dual layer) and burn individually?   If so, can I simply duplicate the full project and delete all movies/menus/timelines not needed for each new half?  And if that’s the case, I know there'll be some revising elements like setting a new 1st play on disc 2 and some End Action links, etc., but that I can deal with.  I suppose I’d name the two new dual layer projects xxx_pt1 and xxx_pt2.   On the plus side, the Check Project comes up with no errors, so that’s good so far.  Oh, "the horror....... the horror” to quote “Apocalypse Now”

  • Combining pages from different projects??

    I have two different versions of a photoshop project, each with six pages.  But I want 3 pages from one and 3 pages from the other.  How do you combine these into one project?
    Thanks!

    Lots of ways to do this. FCP is great. You can have multiple projects open, and drag clips between bins, or copy and paste between bins. You can drag clips from the timeline to bins in another project. You can drag qt clips directly from the finder into a bin in a new project.
    HOWEVER, this can be dangerous. Just remember that if you media manage or make offline clips in one project, you will have deleted the underlying media for another project. Just be careful. You might consider exporting clips to a new folder in the finder and using these clips as sources in the new project. That's not the way I work, but I usually (but not always) know what I'm doing.

  • Layer Overides lost when new layers added to linked AI file

    OK, so I'm working on complex site plans. 3-4 alternate designs each with different phases. It actually all setup well in Illustrator so turning on and off the right set of layers gives the desired view for everything I need. The problem was that when I make changes, I had to keep manually switching layers around, export scene, switch layers again, and repeat over and over.
    The reason each phase doesn't stand on its own is that there are a lot of shared elements and I only want to have to update it one place, vs. multiple copies. Illustrator doesn't seem o have layer comps like Photoshop, but I fond that I could get pretty much what I wanted by placing the file in Illustrator and using import options to set layer override. Now when I update everything is great, Just go to ID file and say export to jpgs.
    So now to the problem. When I add a layer to my Illustrator file (lets say for new design option) InDesign says something like layers changed, I'm going to throw away all of your layer overrides. This is not good. Why can't it just ask me if I want all new layers on, off, or better yet bring up those layers like original import and let me decide for each instance what I want to do with them.
    So as is once it throws away my layer overrides, I've found that you can't directly add back layer overrides. It only allows this at import. So I have to re-import the file (20 times - once for each page) and manually re-set all of the layers overrides. If I have old link selected when I replace it then at least it is correctly located, but still a pain.
    So I guess good work practice when I know I'm going to do this is to add an extra 10 place holder top level layers. Then they will be their waiting when I need them, but just won't be able to re-name them.
    I assume maybe InDesign has same issue with Photoshop Layer override, but at least there I could setup named Layer Comps which would solve this problem (assuming that layer comps addresses added layers better).

    I use this all the time for packaging proofing (I send out a proof page with two examples of the art, one with just the artwork layers showing and a smaller thumbnail with no art but the dieline, windows and opaque white printer showing)
    To speed things up with Object Layer Options, I set a keyboard shortcut and turn the display performance way down.
    I don't think it would help in your situation, but grouping layers in AI makes any changes you make to that set of layers in AI "invisible" to InD, so it doesn't scrap your layer overides, but it also means you have no ability to do anything in InD except turn on or off the entire layer group.

  • Broken links when PDF'ing from Structured Framemaker 8.0 in Windows XP

    We have a large number of links in our documents that are created using structured Framemaker 8.0 in a Windows XP environment. The xrefs work fine in FM, but once they have been PDF'd all of the links are broken. Since these are large documents, it can take over a day to relink everything.  All links are created using the fm-xref tag and link to other topics/items within the FM book.
    Any suggestions for what may be the problem?
    I am also posting this in the Framemaker forum.

    The Set Destination option isn't working for us either.
    This is what we are seeing:
    In our source doc, a cross-reference is created using the fm-xref structured tag. At that point the cross-reference works. We create a series of topics using cross-references the same way.
    These topics are assembled into ditamaps.  The cross-references are still working.
    A book is then created and all ditamaps are created as chapters within the book.
    At this point, the fm-xrefs stop working. In some cases, they were converted to xrefs instead of retaining the fm-xref tag. At this point, some of the formatting is ignored.  For example, an example tag that looks lovely in the left column, suddenly becomes a Heading 1 which is a chapter heading.
    Needless to say, the frustration level is very high.  I would attach, but it appears that .fm or book files are not an acceptable file type.
    Please help us. It may be something terribly simple, that we just can't see anymore because we're cross-eyed from troubleshooting.
    We love FM and would like to continue to use it, but not if it causes this type of frustration. In fact, we're considering becoming nurses.

  • Combine Columns From Separate Arrays Into One Formatted Table

    What I'm trying to do is make two WMI queries with 2 different classes for a list of machines and then patch the columns together into one single array that is formatted as a table with columns and rows. I seem to keep banging my head against the wall and
    I can't help but feel that the answer is simple. I can certainly create an array that contains all 3 columns (such as in the commented out part) but no matter which angle I go at it, it always seems to end up as all the data in one single row in each column
    rather than a nicely formatted table. I've even tried constructing separate custom objects and adding the different objects to the array but that's obviously not working. Below is the code of the last thing I tried. I need someone to bash it to death and tell
    me the (most likely obvious) thing that I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

  • Linking to exported files from .exe project file

    Hi,
    I've read several posts regarding this issue, and it doesn't seem as though anyone has come up with a solution, but I thought that I re-energize the discussion.
    I have a pretty large project and have encountered many problems while trying to compile it with Captivate.  I've finally streamlined the project by creating mini swfs and inserting them as an animation on various slides within the overall project file and have been able to get the entire project to play in the preview modes pretty smoothly (with some minor issues that I'll save for another post).  All links and buttons have remained in tact, and we are now experiencing very little sluggishness.  I had hoped to package this project on a CD for beta-testing today.  However, when I attempted to publish what I was hoping to be the final project file this afternoon and selected the .exe option, none of the linked items (swfs, pdfs) launched when tested.
    Now, during the publishing process, I do  receive the following message:
    The file / projects linked below are linked to the open project.  The linked files / project may require exporting.
    It is also important to copy all referenced files and projects with their corresponding html files to the output folder.
    Ok, "may require exporting" to where?  All of the linked files are located in the same folder as the .exe file (pdfs, swfs, htms, etc.).  What output folder is the message above referencing?  I made sure that I didn't place any of these files with the exception of the pdfs into a separate folder so that they would be easily accessed.  My back is truly against the wall here since I've been troubleshooting a host of issues with this application for weeks now and this project is supposed to be ready for prime time.  Since Adobe doesn't support Authorware anymore and has been pushing this app down our throats the ability to obtain support and / or solutions to these types of problems does not meet the needs of the user.  Does anyone have a solution which does not include the Aggregator?

    Hi there
    I believe I may be the one that assisted with the files.
    I'd like to address some comments if I may.

     ... I did receive some assistance from one of the gurus who created swf files for each pdf which assisted me in resolving the problem for that particular project,
    however, those files only open the file names that were programmed into
    the swf.  I was never able to get him to provide me with the original
    file to edit as needed...
    The way I do these is by using a companion application that shipped with Captivate 2 and 3 called "MenuBuilder". There was no overt and secretive reason for not providing the source. The real reason behind it was that I was creating these on my end because the recipient didn't have MenuBuilder. Therefore the source files would be as useful as a buggy whip for making the car run faster. I'd have been more than happy to provide source files as long as they would be useful to someone.
    If you have MenuBuilder on your own machine, it's quite simple to create the files. I've documented the steps needed on many occasions here in the forums.

  • How to share or combine logging from multiple projects?

    I'm working on a documentary project now with over 300 hours of footage. It was shot to AVCHD media on SD cards and were copied over to a hard drive. Three different people have been logging the media in the Log and Transfer window. We each have our own project file that we're logging into since we are all using our own iMacs to do the work. Since storage space is an issue, we can't just pull down all the footage into ProRes. Ideally we'll just take our selects directly out of log and transfer. Once it comes time to edit, is it possible to combine the logging information into one project, or does the logging metadata only exist in the project it was created in?
    I've tried several ways to combine the project files (XML, Batch list exports), but none seem to transfer the logged info from Log and Transfer (all the XML and Batch lists do is import the footage that has already been transcoded to ProRes.
    thanks!

    the perfect solution would be if FCP treated clips logged in Log and Transfer the same as it treats them in Log and Capture... creating an offline version that can be batch captured later.
    How about something close to perfect?
    (You may to far along in your workflow for this, but...)
    Transfer your clips to OfflineRT settings using just a card number and clip number (so, the fifth clip from first card that you shot would be named "001 005" - the naming needs to be very straightforward and easy to reproduce). This will get your clips into the project file where you can add markers and log notes as well as copy and paste between project files. And, the files will take up a modest amount of disk space (less than 2GB per hour).
    Assemble your rough cuts.
    When you're ready to work at ApplePro Res, use Media Manager to create an offline edit a your ProRes settings (be sure not to trim unused media - the clips must match in name and duration), retransfer your clips at Apple ProRes using the exact same naming convention (it can even be in a different project or on a different machine), reconnect to the offline project, and then finish your edit.
    This is much more hands on than one might want, but it'll work.

  • Duplicate Layers from Selection to Group

    I want to take the layers within a selection, copy only the portion of the the layer that is within the selection into a layer group but keep the layers from the selection separate when placed into the layer group ? I've been tinkering with how to do this for a while and I can't come to any solution !

    I want to cut the layers from the selection then copy those cut layers into a layer group, same as I said in my original post
    I've thought about another way of doing this, but for what I want to do, there is no other way, which gives me the control and flexibility yet saves some time.

  • Photoshop CS6 Extended x64 Win7 bug, color overlay layer effect

    I created a simple layer shape using the elipse shape tool, and applied a color overlay (blue) layer effect to that shape. The applied color overlay doesn't fill the entire shape (see image) making it look like the shape has a very wide stroke applied to it (it doesn't). If I "copy merged" the pasted copy is a rasterized version of the problematic overlay. If I rasterize the layer, the fill then covers the entire shape.
    Jpeg below. Shape is black, color overlay is blue. There is no other effect applied. Blend mode normal, opacity 100%. The image upload won't let me attach the layered PSD file, but I'd be happy to provide it for troubleshooting.
    If it matters, I'm running PS CS6 under Creative Cloud.

    Good call, there is indeed a thick stroke set for the shape tool. Thank you.
    But that answer leaves me with another question.
    Apparently applying a color overlay effect only applied to the object's fill. Why does the entire object, stroke and all, go blue when the layer is rasterized? If that's not a bug, it's at least irrational.
    I added an inner glow layer effect and the same behavior applies. The stroke is not changed by the layer effect, but when rasterized (except via copy merged) the stroke disappears and the layer effects are applied to the full diameter of the circle and the stroke.
