Layer off by 15 pixels in Browsers

In my template the“main_content” layer is 15
pixles narrower than the top layer and navbar layers positioned
above it. This “main_content” layer has a solid right
border.
It appears this way in IE. The right border is 15 pixels to
the left of the edge of the navbar.
But in Netscape, FireFox and Safari, the right edge of this
“main_content” layer lines up exactly with the navbar.
So if I correct the 15 pixels in Dreamweaver it appears
correct in IE. But in Netscape, FF & Safari the border is 15
pixels too wide.
I checked to make sure that all my layer numbers had PX in
them, cause I read somewhere that if they didn’t, different
browsers would treat the layers differently.
I also searched this forum to find similar problems. I
didn’t find anything that seemed to help.
Here's the site:

You cannot (cannot) have this template markup above the

In addition, there is no <html> tag. Again, this is
something that needs to

Because of the way the page's code is munged, the page is
being rendered in
quirks mode. When in quirks mode, I believe IE6 gets the box
model wrong,
putting padding outside the box, which is what makes the
layer be 15px too
narrow. Fix the first problem and I believe your second one
will go away.

Need to check if active layer has transparent/inactive pixels? / boolean. Thanks!

is there a check that i can do that will return whether or not the active layer has transparent pixels? thanks a trillion!

Alright everyone calm down, i know everyone was in the middle of writing an answer but i found something that while is not precisely what i intended, gets the job done for what i needed.
the =
isBackgroundLayer
property of an artlayer. which pretty much tells me whether or not the ducoument is flattened. I know that i can check whether or not individual pixels have transparency but that would make the entire script a lot more complicated than what i actually need.
By the way, EVERYONE Gets to keep their million thanks!!!

Selection Tool off by 1 pixel on the left side in CS4?

Having a bit of an annoying problem with the selection tool in CS4. If I open a document, say 500px x 500px, and "select all", the marquee tool will appear to leave 1 pixel of space on the left side of the composition. If I manually select an area, it will appear to be offset by 1 pixel. If I hit delete, the entire 500px x 500px canvas will be deleted and will not leave the remaining 1px on the left side even though it appears as if it would. If I zoom in as close as I can, the selection tool appears to cover the entire canvas. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Master Collection and the problem is still there. I do a lot of web design where being pixel perfect is important and I could forsee this being a quite a pain. Anyone else experincing this? Really happy with the new CS4 this is the only real problem I've encountered.

Hi, I'm going to open this up again... I was hoping for a "it was a bug that was fixed - going to be fixed" kind of thing. This is the second time on 2 different Mac's that this has happened to me.
I too get the 1 pixel shift in the Marching ants, and as it may not be detrimental, it is - as most designers will agree - incredibly bothersome and ruins the flow of a project.
I've attached my system specs in hopes that someone from Adobe can say, "Oh, it's because of this, and we're working on it" Until then, maybe someone can tell me that the OpenGL options aren't really necessary, or needed for anything other than 3D.
Other Specs: Photoshop CS4 11.0.1
Thanks in advance!

Photoshop opens dialog box when trying to fill a layer with transparent pixels locked

This script should set the layer to lock transparent pixels, and then fill the layer with a color. It does that, except when it gets to the fill stage, it opens the fill dialog box, and you have to hit okay.
If you omit the transparent pixel line, it runs as expected, no dialog box.
Is there a way to suppress the box? Or am I doing something wrong that's causing the box to open?
#target photoshop
app.bringToFront();
doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.artLayers[0].isBackgroundLayer = false;
doc.artLayers[0].transparentPixelsLocked = true;
app.activeDocument.selection.fill(app.foregroundColor);

Not sure why that happens.
But I would recommend foregoing the locking and using the AM code for a Fill that honours the transparency.
#target photoshop
app.bringToFront();
doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.artLayers[0].isBackgroundLayer = false;

Text is overriding above layer

I have text in layer one (bottom) and i have a tooltip widget in the top layer, and the text from layer one is overriding the tooltip widget?
What is going wrong?

I think what you need to do is re-think the way the menu bar is constructed for the widget to line up properly.
You can build the menu as a 'Manual' menu, see attachment, and squeeze the widget in-between to menu items, then lining up your widget to fit.
Note the 'Y' height at '27' make sure the 'Y' height of your menu box matches. When viewing inside Muse it looks off by a pixel but previews fine.
The next attachment shows the preview. (note: I didn't add any text on the widget)

Bright Pixel on Light Colored Backgrounds

Hi fellow Mac Friends,
I have a quick question for you all that has been bugging me for over a month. I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and it came with a beautiful LCD screen with no issues. A few weeks after I bought it, it developed the awful whine that everyone was talking about. I took it to the Apple Store and they fixed it within a couple of days.
Great!
However when I got it back, a week later I noticed that now something was wrong with one of my pixels. The pixel is not stuck (Red/Green/Blue) nor is it dead (black or off) as far as I know. The pixel is bright but not all of the time. It is only abnormally bright on light colored surfaces and its brightest against white. Now as you know, most web pages have nice white backgrounds so this is painfully annoying. Emotionaly its hard to swallow after I just dropped so much money but the the impefection is painfully clear.
Despite my feelings on the subject, I was hoping someone else might provide some information on this. Is this a "dead" pixel? Or a "stuck" pixel? Or is this something fixable. I have tried all of the stuck pixel programs out there but I don't believe this is a dead or stuck pixel.
I have heard the term "hot" pixel but then I would assume that this pixel would burn white in all situations including dark backgrounds.
If there is any information out there that someone might know on this subject, I would greatly appreciate it!
Yours Truly,
Rilely

Right, that particular pixel would not be able to render all the colors. With dark backgrounds, the pixels are shuttered and not passing light. So even the sub-pixel where the color filter material has chipped off will not be illuminated and showing brightly. It will only be for certain colors and white where the brighter-than-bright pixel will show. You should be able to use a test program and determine which sub-pixel, R, G or B, has the missing color. Just put up successively an all red, all green and all blue screen. One of those screens should have a white pixel. If, for instance, the red screen has the white pixel, then it is the red sub-pixel that is missing it's color filter layer for that particular pixel. Here is a link to my favorite freeware program that can provide the required test patterns:

How do i transform a layer with maintain aspect ratio through scripting in Photoshop?

Hi,
How do i transform a layer with maintain aspect ratio through scripting in Photoshop? I am expecting your reply.
thanks,
Rajiv.s

I don't think your talking apples to apples. First I do not know of any Maintain Aspect Ratio icon in Photoshop. The only icon I think associated with transform is the anchor point icon in the option bar for transform. I think you may referring to the constrain check box in the image size dialog which you can check when resample is checked. Image size effect all layers in the document and the documents canvas size. The document canvas size will be changed to the values in the images size dialog and all layers will be transformed by percentage the canvas was changes while maintaining the layers position over the canvas and the layers I think may be cropped so only pixels over the canvas remain.
I do not know if you know that layers can be any size and have aspect ratios different then the documents canvas.
In your case it sounds like your describing a template that has a canvas size that is 2000px wide be 3000px high a 2:3 portrait aspect ratio. Your image file has a landscape aspect. If you place that image into your template place would by default transform the image so the image would fit within the 2000px by 3000px canvas size there would be a white border top and bottom. You could transform that smart object layer to it actual pixels size activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(100,100, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER); then calculate the size you want to transform its height to. By retrieving the canvas size and the layers boundaries. Divide the canvas height pixel size by the layers pixel height size should give you the percentage you need to use. Make sure you set the ruler units to pixels so your working with pixel values for the canvas and layer size values. The resulting layer will be larger then canvas size keeping the anchor point centered will result in the canvas size masking off both sides. In effect cropping you landscape to a portrait. Note cropping a image from one orientation to the other changes the composition drastically.
If your trying to make a composit like collage you may want to look at my Photoshop Collage Toolkit it will fit images to fill a 2000px by 3000px area http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PhotoCollageToolkit.html
You could also do centered 2:3 crop that is resized to a 3000px

Move tool, right click should show exact layer

On mac when you right click with the move tool, it brings up the list of all the layers, plus it starts your mouse over the layer you right clicked on. But in Windows, when I right click, it just starts the mouse on the top left of the list of layers. I want it to auto find the layer, like in mac. How can I make it do that? Thanks.

As Paulo said, just click on the image with the move tool when its Auto Select box is checked in the tool's options and this will select the topmost layer containing the clicked pixel. I use it like that all the time. Holding Ctrl will toggle the state of this option. So, if you use the Move tool with this option off, just hold Ctrl and click to select the topmost layer containing the clicked pixel - alternative to Alt + right click.
When you right click, the popup shows a list of all layers containing pixels under the clicked point in the corresponding stacking order with the topmost layer being first on the list - just select it, your mouse is almost there.
Another handy thing if you are like me working most of the time with gazilions of layers is when you right click and press a key with the first letter of the layer's name it selects it. Sometimes this is much faster when I often need to select certain layer/s down a long list.

Image layer edge snapping failure

Hi
ok here is the story
i open an image to photoshop cs5 and it opens as a background layer, right?
now i drag n drop from windows exporer the same image over the cs5 on top opening as a new layer.
It shows up an X over the image where you can reposition the second image (layer) over the first.
i don't want to reposition, its the same image, i want the pixels of the second layer to match EXACTLY the first layer.
i press the TICK button or ENTER where the new layer gets the images name
BUT when i zoom in 1600% or 3200% and move to the edge i see the edges of the new layer not positioned exactly over the 1st layer.
it positions the new layer 1 or 2 pixels to the right and some times 1 or 2 pixels to the bottom.
it doesn't snap the edge.
i know i can fix it afterwards by align the layers from the layer -> align menu
but its annoying, even creating an action..
is there a setting in the prefrences which i'm missing?
is it a bug? if so, can this be fixed in CS6?
thank you

Bo, the same problem can occur if you bring in several different images that are registered to one another down to the pixel. I had this happen once when I was doing a series of screen grabs of a window and was preparing to animate them via a GIF. The problem is that the placed image is off to the bottom-right by one pixel. Note the offset showing in this screen grab, after placing an identically registered image over a background, then hiding the background.
Another way to accomplish getting a bunch of images in separate layers is File - Scripts - Load Files into Stack.

Issue with Dragging a 3D Layer

There seem to at least three ways to get an external 3D model into a document:
1. Open the model file itself.
2. New Layer from 3D File.
3. Drag a 3D layer from another document.
The third way has a problem associated with it that doesn't seem to be documented: Unlike the first two, when you do this one, the results depend on where you release the mouse cursor. The worst part is that unless you happened to drop it at the center of the document, you can get some very non-intuitive behavior:
When you zoom the camera in the Camera Tool (N), the center of the image does not stay fixed as it does with a real camera. This leads to real problems in positioning the camera to get the view you want.
The orthogonal camera views (Left, Top, etc.) normally adjust to show the image centered in the view. They do not in this case. The Top view, for example, shows the red and green axes as crossing somewhere besides the center and perhaps even not inside the view. The model is not centered.
For a given camera elevation and azimuth, you should be able to calculate where to place the camera and how to rotate it so that it points at, say, the origin. If you do this correctly, it will work in the first two cases, but not the third.
It can be a gotcha. The documentation Combine 3D objects (Photoshop Extended) has explict directions for the steps you should take but does not mention this effect. The effect is especially apparent and non-intuitive when the camera is near or in the model, and as it would turn out, that was the situation in my first real project with Photoshop 3D. It took me a long time (weeks) to figure out what was happening, and I still have some remaining lack of understanding.
In case you don't want to read further, let me say that you can avoid this problem by using Shift-drag or Layer | Duplicate Layer. Both of these center the 3D object in the layer, and the camera works as you would expect a 3D camera to work. (The documentation should say this rather than what it does say.)
It doesn't seem to be a bug, and the implementation is probably logical, but it needs to be documented. I am not sure of the best way to help this happen. Perhaps someone can suggest the most effective way to go about it.
This is what I have learned the hard way.
It works just the same as dropping an image on a layer. You can use the Move Tool (V) to move the image around and can use Free Transform (Ctrl-T or Command-T) to move, resize, or distort it. In addition, Free Transform will show you the numeric values of where the image is located, how it is sized, etc. This is true of other Photoshop objects in a layer as well, not just images.
It is, in fact, apparently using the same mechanism as it does for all objects. The problem is that this is a 2D concept and doesn't play well with the 3D object. For a 3D object by itself, what you see is determined by the camera and model positions.
These, in fact, stay with the 3D object in the layer as you move it around. However, the camera is aimed relative to the 3D object whereas what you see is a combination of this and the location of the 3D object in the 2D layer of the document. For example if your 3D object is moved to the lower right of the document, then all of the Top, Left, Front, etc. views will show it in the lower right. This is probably not what you would expect, at first anyway.
The numeric values of the location of an object in a layer are given in pixels. The locations of things in the model inside the 3D object are in terms of its dimensions (inches, meters, etc.) even though the units are not necessarily known).
I do not yet know what algorithm Photoshop uses to determine the end result of what you see. They don't even document their 3D coordinate system, much less this. I have been able to determine fairly well what the coordinate system must be, but I haven't figured out how it gets mixed in with the location in the 2D layer.
I also have not yet figured out how to get the numeric values for where the object is located in the layer. The free transform values always indicate it is the same size as the layer and centered. It will always render to fill the document window, in any event. If someone knows how to get the numeric values, I would appreciate the information. It is necessary if you want to do accurate placement as for an engineering or architectural model.
An upside is that this can be a powerful feature if you learn to control it. I am reasonably sure you can get views of your model that are not possible using the 3D camera and object tools alone. I think this because I spent a lot of time trying to position an object in a tutorial so it looked like the example given. I was not able to do this with the camera controls alone and was only successful after moving the layer, once I learned the above.
Thanks in advance for any further insight into this issue.

I ran into this to...it has to do with the way the player
handles the 3D transform. The workaround I used was to take a
snapshot of the object you are rotating using BitmapData, make your
actual object invisible, rotate the temp bitmap, and then at the
end of the rotation remove the temp object and make your actual
object visible again.

Layer problem with exporting nested Indesign Doc in indesign doc to PDF

Hi folks,
I managed to create a PDF with very strange layer behavior... even with content that shows when ALL layers are turned off...
Here's how I did it:
- I placed our two page company letterhead indesign document in another Indesign document.
- Both documents have several layers (our company use up to 8 different languages for their corporate papers)
- The document that I exported to PDF, has itself two layers, and the nested Indesign document is exclusively on masterpages in the second layer.
- The nested Document has 4 layers visible, but consists of around 27 layers.
- Turning on the layer that contains the letterhead doc, correctly shows the corporate identity on all pages that are based on the master layers. Turning the layer off hides it. So far, so good.
- I use a PDF preset which renders a PDF with following settings:
- When opening the resulting PDF, the layers of the main document are all there, as one would expect. However, toggling the layers visibility renders a weird result... The document is 4 pages, a usage contract. You can download it from our server via this link. Now if you would toggle the layer visibility of the "letterhead_def actual" layer that is supposed to hold only the corporate identity, you will find that all works correctly for the first two pages... but on the 3rd, all contents seems to have been combined onto the second layer... and on the 4th page, the contents landed on a layer that isn't even listed in the layers panel, as turning ALL the layers off, still leaves the Terms and conditions visible...
This looks like a bug to me... I'm going to try and flatten the nested indesign document first, before I export to PDF to see what that brings, but that is of course quite the hassle.
Would be interested to see if more people have run into this thing...
Kind regards,
Willy

Contrary to popular belief, I am not a complete moron However, since this problem could just as well be in Acrobat as in Indesign, I thought it best to post it in the Suite forum first.
Of course I could post in both the Indesign as well as the Acrobat forum, but then I'm sure there will be helpful readers suggesting me to put it in the other. One cannot win
There for I shall leave it here for a while. If I don't get any meaningful feedback, I'll re-post it in the other Forii...
Kind regards,
Will

Resolving Layer via Copy or Layer via Cut - Grayed Out

There are many times you will "place" a picture file inside your photoshop document, and want to resize it, put it in a different layer, or crop the image inside photoshop - but you may find a simple error message or grayed out layer via copy/cut prevents you from doing so.
To do this, you will most often do this one of three ways:
1) Select the Marquee tool and outline the area of the image you want to copy or cut
2) Go to Layer > New > Layer via Cut/Copy
3) Click Ctrl+J
Many times, you will find none of these selections work. All options will be greyed out. You may be tempted to create a new layer, and then use one of these options in the new layer. In this case, you will get the error message "Could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty." All these errors are a result of photoshop not identifying pixels that you are trying to cut/copy.
There is a simple solution to this problem. Go over to the "Layers" box, and click on the layer listing for the layer where your newly placed image resides. Make sure your image is the only item in this layer, if not relocate the image into a new layer by itself. Right-click on the layer where your photo is located in the "layers" box and click on "Rasterize Layer".
Once you do this you will now be able to follow one of the steps above to Layer Via Copy or Layer Via Cut.
Good luck.

you will get the error message "Could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty." All these errors are a result of photoshop not identifying pixels that you are trying to cut/copy.
I would say they are the result of the active Layer not being a pixel layer or being empty in the selected region, judging from the remedy you describe.
And what you seem to call »box« goes by the name of »Panel«.

How can I use the move tool to drag ONE pixel at a time?

The move tool is stuck to snapping at ~20 pixels at a time, so when I try to move a layer by a few pixels, its super frustrating. I dont want to have to use the arrow keys, I should be able to drag wherever I want.
How can I stop the move tool from snapping? I want to drag things precisely. I am zoomed at 100% if that makes a difference. I cant find anything about this under Preferences.

kelly-bot wrote:
Thanks for the tip, but like I said, I dont want to always have to use the arrow keys. Is it not possible to actually DRAG one pixel at a time? I recently upgraded to CC from CS3 and I keep running into things that feel like a downgrade. Super disappointed.
Our posts overlapped there. Are you saying you could reliably drag one pixel with CS3?
What other issues are you having? Things like the Crop tool can feel strange at first, but I promise you you'll never want to use Classic mode once you get used to it.

Eyedropper Current Layer sampling problem.

Using the "current layer" sampling setting for the eye dropper before I apply any top layer adjustments (adding a top layer with a different blending more or adding an adjustment layer) it works fine. When I use any adjustment layers or any layer that has a blending mode, it affects the way the eyedropper picks color especially when set to current layer.
For instance, If I paint a new blank layer with random colors, I create a black and white adjustment layer on top of that one, I select the first color layer I go to pick a color using the eye dropper with the current layer sampling set, it picks a grey color (which is wrong). BUT!! if I open up the color picker with the color layer selected it picks the correct color. Now, if I delete the black and white adjustment layer, and I am back to only having the color layer, I then go to pick a color with current layer sampling still set, it chooses a grey color again?!?! There are no more layers on top of the original color layer I painted first, and yet it chooses a grey color?!?! I hope this makes sense, any ideas on why this is happening?
I am working on Photoshop CS5 12.1 64bit

I'm having the same problem in CS5.
With current layer selected and a not visible layer of curves (contrast) and trying to pick from the current layer it picks as if the curves layer was visible.
I have attached 2 images: first trying to pick with the curves layer off (you can see that it's picking a black color where brown should be picked. Second one with the curves layer on.
After restarting Photoshop every thing work fine again. So I have assumed that the problem is vinculated with the action done before:
Duplicate image 2 times
Gaussian blur of 6px to the first image
Apply image of the gaussian (RGB channel) inverted in mode "Add", scale 2, displacement 0.
And I create a group as you can see on the screen shots.

Trim Transparent Pixels

I cropped the photo to 16x20. With this crop I ended up with some transparent pixels on the right and left edges. I used the Trim tool to remove the transparent pixels. Question - after removing the transparent pixels with the Trim tool do I still have a full 16x20 photo ready for printing OR because I chopped off the transparent pixels my photo has shrunk to a slightly smaller size?

I started with a photo that I cropped to 16x20. With this 16x20 crop I had some transparent pixels. I trimmed the transparent pixels off. By trimming did I decreased the size of the 16x20? I did NOT recrop after the trimming.
