Layers Problem

I am building a site
www.cstoresource.com I dont
normally use Dreamweaver or work in HTML at all but I need to for
this client.
I have used tables for the body of the site and placed the
test within a layer, the problem is that the layer moves around in
different browser sizes!
Can anyone give me some advise? How do I lock the layer to a
certain position so it doesnt float around in different
browsers?

Layers don't move. Tables do. What you are seeing is table
motion, as you
can see if you set your browser viewport to something less
than full screen
and then drag the right margin in and out.
Here's something you can try....
Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
change this -
<body ...>
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

Layers problem in PS cs5 extended, all layers change at once, including background layer.

layers problem in PS cs5 extended, when working in a layer, all layers changes at once i.e size, cropping, smart object etc. even the background layer changes...it is really annoying, please help, My system windows 7 64 bit 4gb ram. It is not grouped, deleted preferences, usually work in rgb/ 8 bit channel - have same problem with all new projects.

Hi
Problem with layers is when I use the crop tool in a layer out of 20, all of them get croped at once including a locked backgound layer.
When I use smart object in a layer to size down image with transform tool, guess what happens to all the layers in project? all behave odd, changes same as the layer being sized down. If I work images or layers in separate files, once I bring them over to my workspace, all get affected without maintaining their own individuality. This happens with every new project. I think colors are not affecting layers. Layers are not grouped, I do not know anything about linking layers. This problem is stopping me from using photoshop. Please help!!!
I had previously a problem with a photoshop bug (GPU sniffer), which I was able to resolve it with reintalling the graphics video card with the help of HP technical support, I am able now to work with repousse however with same video card.
Let me know if you need me to give you more details.
thanks,

Flash Layering Problem in Firefox , Please Help.

Hi,
I am having a problem with Firefox and Safari. I am trying to
place video over an already emdedded flash file. Here is an example
www.mjmi.com when viewed on IE the layering is fine and you can see
both flash videos. When you view it in Firefox or safari my video
with the actors falls to the back of the original flash video.
I have tried every type of positioning but the video keeps
falling behind the other one.
Does anyone have a solution for this? With out having to
combine the flash files.
Thanks so much
here is my code if that is the problem
<div id="flashAdd" style="position:absolute; left:25px;
top:98px; z-index:1000">
<script>myprintln('<OBJECT
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" z-index:"0"
codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
width="496" height="300">');
myprintln('<PARAM NAME=movie
VALUE="<cfoutput>#Request.MainUrl#</cfoutput>video/home_1.swf">');
myprintln('<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false>');
myprintln('<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>');
myprintln('<param name="wmode" value="transparent">');
myprintln('<param name="menu" value="transparent">');
myprintln('<EMBED
src="<cfoutput>#Request.MainUrl#</cfoutput>video/home_1.swf"
loop=false quality=medium bgcolor=#FFFFFF wmode="transparent"
width="496" height="300" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">'); myprintln('</EMBED>');
myprintln('</OBJECT>');</script>
</div>

and if you will ask in order that he to put for top with a
level of the type:
_root.creatEmptyMovieClip ("my_mc", 5);
That will do that his application raises 5 levels, I think
that it can be a solution, if there is doubt look in for help for
creatEmptyMovieClip ();

Centering with layers problem

I have a problem centering a layer that has an image with
relative positioning. I've replicated this phenomena with some
basic code to make it easy to convey:
I would like to position a layer with an image that is
horizontally center to the page regardless of the screen
resolution. I created a div tag called "layer1" with the
appropriate descriptors below. This "appears" to center the image,
but when I take my pencil and measure the left and right of the red
box, it is clear that there are different measurements. When I
center text just above the centered image, it is immediately
apparent that the jpeg is not totally in the center. I've tried
looking at it in 800x600 and higher resolutions, all with the same
results.
This is a big deal since the more complicated code where I am
trying to center the layer with the image offsets images to where
the entire page looks jumbled.
I've attached the html code so you can see what I am doing.
The image is just a red box that I made with GIMP.
Can anyone see my error?

> regardless of the screen resolution
Just so you'll know, this is NOT a resolution issue. It's a
browser
viewport width issue. The same page will look the same on
*any* resolution
screen as long as the browser viewport is the same width in
pixels on all
screens.
Put a border around your "pseudo-layer" (it's not a layer)
and you'll see
that it is in fact completely centered on all browser widths
on any
resolution screen.

Eraser + Auto-Blend layers = problem

Hello,
I've been using "Auto-Blend layers" to edit faces in Photoshop. For example: putting Brad Pitt's face on Tom Cruise's face or something like that... However, I seem to have the exact same problem each time.
I use the following method:
Two layers (layer 1 = background = original person) + face of new person (layer 2 = cut out from different .psd with pen tool).
Align faces with eachother (try to match eyes/lips/nose)
Erase parts to make it fit better
Select pixels layer 2
Select "Inverse" layer 2
Select Modify -> Expand -> 6px layer 2
Select "Inverse" layer 2
Delete selected part on the layer 1 with background (layer 1 original face gets deleted)
Select both layers
Auto-Blend Layers
Result done
This entire method works fine, except for the eraser part. (Erase parts to make it fit better) When I use my eraser on the new face to erase some parts that overlap the original face or something, it always turns out bad after using Auto-Blend layers. You can see parts of the transparent background -> it doesn't fit properly. This only happens when I use the eraser. When I use the entire method without fixing some parts with the eraser, it works fine but this way the face doesn't fit 100% since certain details don't match.
Anyway, I wonder why the eraser messes up Auto-Blend layers. I even tried moving the new face (I used eraser on) to a new .psd with the same original person and Auto-Blend layers keeps having parts of the transparent background when the faces get auto-blended. How can I fix this?

You probably would have to go into the mechanics of what the auto blend layer tool is doing. It is meant to stitch two images together such as a panarama. Your case is a little different and erasing may disturb the way the tool combines the underlying layers.

Importing Photoshop Merged layers problem

Hi. I'm trying to import a layered Photoshop file into After Effects. I'm on a new intel iMac running Leopard and both PS (extended) and AE are CS3. I chose the merged layers option because I don't want all the layers in AE, just the final composition. Am I correct in thinking that if I update my photoshop file, it'll update in AE in the merged file?
That's not really my problem, just making sure that's how it works. My problem is that this is how my image looks in photoshop:
but in AE it comes out like this:
I was having the same problem when using quicklook, so I'm assuming it's something with photoshop. I turned on save full size image preview in the file handling preferences in photoshop, which did fixed the problem when using quicklook, but didn't fix the image in After Effects. I reloaded the footage and even reimported it into a new project in AE but it's still the same.
Anyone know what's going on? Thank you so much.
Alycia

Thanks. I do realize I could do that, but I have about 60 Backgrounds. So it'd be nice to be able to import the whole photoshop file and still be able to work on it without having to flatten it every time. That's kind of what I've been doing so far.
Alright, I came up with a better workaround. I created a new psd file and put the original layered psd on a layer as a smart object and then imported that layer into After Effects. This seems to be working nicely, and I can still edit the original without having to resave a flattened file all the time.
It's still be nice to get this working properly though. It seems to only display the original layer of the photoshop file.

Moving Layers Problem CS5

I'm having issues moving individual layers once they've been put into a group in CS5. It just moves everything in the group! Very inconvenient. This hasn't happened to me before or in CS6. Can anyone offer any recommendations on how to correct this?

Nevermind, I had the pointer tool set to group. Yay for problem solving.

If part of a layer seems hidden behind another layer you may have to move it up in the layers panel or change the blend mode. In the layers panel you can move the position of the layers by dragging and dropping them into position. If you post a screenshot of your layers panel someone may spot the problem you are having.

Layering Problem:Assigning multiple objects to a layer removes previous layering

HI!
I have a massive problem.
Let's say I have 5 objects, object "1" to object "5".
If I assign object "1" to layer "a", object "2" to layer "b", and so on until object "5"
to layer "e", and then assign all 5 objects to layer named "all", here's what happens:
1) objects "2" till "5" are removed from layers "b" till "e"
2) All 5 objects are placed in layers "a" and "all"
What I want is for them to stay in their respective layers AS WELL as their newly appointed layer(s). This problem does not occur if I assign
objects 1-5 one by one into layer "all".
I'm doing something more complicated with 100 shapes and a few hundred connectors and assigning them one by one is just not acceptable.
Is there a way I can fix this? I couldn't find anything online...

Layering problem in Photoshop CS4

always i get color image degradation whenever i apply new gradient layer?
for example: i have green meadow with clear blue sky and i add new layer and apply black gradation filter on the sky
and then change opacity from (0-100) until i get the best look
and also change to overlay or soft light
i always get degradation of the color on the sky
i have tried everything and i work with TIFFs only and layers as well still and nothing?
i have checked the my CS4 system preferecnes/performance and i just can not figure it out what could casue color degradation of images?
please any help or advice how i can avoid this in the future

It has to do with your text size. This should help.
Solution: Change the Windows text size to 149% or 151%.
To change the text size:
Choose Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display.
Choose Set custom text size (DPI) in the menu on the left panel.
Type in 149 or 151 into the Scale to this percentage of normal size field.
Press enter and click OK.
Choose to log off and then log on to make the change.

PDF layering problem

I am creating an interactive pdf with Indesign CS5.
I have buttons popping up over top of each other.
I have those buttons on layers - one over the other.
When I preview it looks fine but when I create pdf the lower layer is over top of the higher layer.
I even looked at the Acrobat layers and they are correct.
What's up with that?

Okay I just fixed it by editing form in Acrobat and putting the layer I want on top - at the bottom.
I seems to work backwards.
Still doesn't explain why it's wrong in the first place.
Anyone?

PS CS5 and 3D (new volume from layers) problem

OK I dont know if my issue is hardware related or user error so any help is appreciated.
Im trying to use the "New Volume from Layers" function (under 3D) with 2 text layers selected and the function is greyed out. How can I fix this? I do have open GL enabled.
I am following a tutorial from MAX 2010 Corey Barkerwhere it is used.

Over time, and with some different "incidents," the Preferences file can become corrupt. In PS, I have only had that happen once over decades, and it was when a program decided to update, while I was doing a Save of a very large PS image. In that case, the Ctrl+Alt+Del, while launching PS brought up the "Do you want to reset your Preferences to the default?" message, at which time I chose yes, and all was good, except for the work that I was doing the Save for, but I had a Save_As_a_Copy, so only lost about an hour's work. I figure that one "trashed Prefs" file since version 2.5, with almost daily use is not bad.
PrPro has the same "three-finger-salute," or you can go to your Preferences file and either Rename, or Delete that - just like PS. Just remember to hold down those keys during the entire launch cycle. I do not believe that PrPro has that dialog screen, asking if that is what you wish to do, but I believe that it just clears the Prefs, and resets to the default. Never had to trash my Prefs in PrPro, but several users have, and it has fixed some odd issues.
Good luck,

Layers problem: - how can I upload the PSD for analysis?

Hi all. Following one of my earlier questions, when several members gave me some great advice about layers, I've been experimenting.
Now, I have a PSD that I'd like advice on. It's 1.42MB. Can I upload it somewhere so that it can be examined on the forum?

It's because you have partial transparency at the edges of the kiss image. Probably from feathering or partially erasing it?
Turn off all the other layers to see this
If you take a history snapshot, before you feather it, you can paint back the pixels exactly where you want them with the history brush set to that snapshot
Background2 has no transparency so obscures any other layer beneath it! so when at the top you can't see through it, like a stack of plates?
regards
John
