Maintain layer sizes from photoshop

hey guys,
Is there a way to set up comps in Photoshop (folders) and have them maintain layer sizes of the sub-folder (photoshop comps) when importing to AE? Basiaclly in the same way that it works when you import to after effects with no precomps made in Photoshop...
THanks guys!
mike

Thanks Dave,
I'm assuming you meant this... http://www.aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?t=496 I was wondreing if there was a way to do it with a script!
I'll give that a shot.

Image size from photoshop to indesign

For some reason if I make an image the exact size in Photoshop and bring it into indesign DPS it is always smaller. Obviously I can resize it but i was curious why this is happening. I set my file up to be 1024 x768 at 72 dpi and save as a JPEG. When i drag that file into the frame in Indesign it is always small in the corner. What am I doing wrong?

You're doing nothing wrong.. try using the place option from the file menu rather than dragging your images and see if there is any difference.

Importing layer groups from photoshop to flash cs4

Hi everyone,
I have about 5 layer groups in Photoshop and in each of the groups/folders there are some layers with some text and other layers with isolated images and also layers with some layer styles. When I import this file into Flash I need each of the layer groups to be imported as a flattened bitmap image. I don't want any of the text to be editable or to have any of the layer styles intact. So if there are 5 layer groups in Photoshop, I just need five bitmap images in flash. I've tried doing this but it still imports the layers separately. I know I can flatten the groups in Photoshop but I want to keep this file editable.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Appreciate any help.

Then why not flatten it (BUT not save it) and import it into flash THEN revert the photoshop file (CTRL+Z) so it will still be editable version?
Yeah I know that's an option but I just thought there might be a quicker way, but maybe not.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Importing a Layer Shape from Photoshop to Flash

Hi Guys,
I have a layer in photoshop that is shaped like an triangle, and I want to make it so that in flash when I hover over it, it changes to an 'active' version that is brighter, however whenever I try to import the layer (I've tried saving it as .bmp, .png etc) I can get it to import without the background, but the imported file is still a square (the image size). Essentially I need just the exactly outline of the layer, which is a shape, versus the entire size of the image, can anyone help?? Thanks!

There are only two options that I know of. You can redraw the triangle as a Flash object. Or, you can break apart the bitmap and remove the background parts of the image.

How do I print a custom size from Photoshop CS3?

I am using Photoshop CS3 with System 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I am printing on an Epson Stylus Photo R2000. The custom paper size is 8.5 x 14 inches. When I print the page the design appears to have expanded beyond the paper size. I need to make a borderless print, so I can't just shrink the image. What do I need to do?

There should be a Custom Size setting for your Printer in the Photoshop Print dialog: Page Setup > Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes.

Maintain crop size from LR to CC

I open an image in LR and then open it in the Develop module. I click on Crop Overlay and click on the As Shot drop down menu (the lock is closed) and crop to 11 x 17 and click Done.
I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC. There I click on Image > Canvas Size and the Canvas Size is 13.288 inches by 2.533 inches.
I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistant size.
Help!...Please.

Preserve the layer order imported from photoshop

Is there a way to import photoshop files to after effects and keep the layer order from photoshop? I don't want to have to go back to all of my photoshop files and rename them.
And I'd like to use the folders instead of compositions (the ones that are made after importing to After Effects) because it's harder to see how everything works when you're working one composition at a time.
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. But it doesn't quite answer my question. I'm frustrated that after importing the photoshop files (they each have multiple layers), I'd bring it into the overall composition and when I look inside the folders, they're automatically ordered alphabetically. And I'm wondering if there's a way to keep the order of the layers I had in Photoshop.
And I understand that if I were to double click on the compositions that are created after importing Photoshop files, they're in the same order as Photoshop file layer orders. But I don't like working in those compositions because I can't see how they all fit together in the overall composition.
Do you know if there's a way to prevent After Effects from reordering my layers alphabetically?

Printing from Photoshop CS4

I have Photshop CS4. I create a picture with a specific size in Photoshop (eample: 8.5" x 11"). I send it to the printer. In the printer box it also shows the correct print size. However when it prints it is only a small sample of the picture. An 8.5' x 11" picture from Photoshop, showing that size in the Image box and in the Photoshop print box, when sent to the printer shows at the correct size and prints it at 2-3/4" x 3-1/2". If i save the picture from Photoshop onto my desktop, then open it in Microsogt Office Picture Manager, then send it to the exact same printer, it is printed out at the correct size. I don't know why it will not print it to the correct size from Photoshop.

Printer is an HP Photosmart Premium. I believe I have the latest drivers. It
has to be something in Photoshop. When I print the same picture from any
other program it prints properly with this same printer. I just can't print
anything from Photoshop to its correct size.
Thank you for your email. Let me know if you can think of anything.

Images pasted into mail from photoshop are drastically reduced in size.

At work, I am constantly sending previews of artwork through email. I CmdShiftC in Photoshop to copy merged (this essentially takes a screen shot of your current selection in a Photoshop document, then I Cmd+V to paste it into mail.
I have been doing this exact process for over a year now, it works every time, the images are pasted at actual size and are not modified in any way regardless of how huge they were.
This morning they suddenly started showing up as dinky, useless thumbnails.
There is no option in mail I can find to control this, and the multitude of other posts in this forum about the same complaint mention a little popup in the bottom right when you have an attached image. I do not have this popup, there is nothing in the bottom right of my window.
Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

it's not a popup, it's a little scroll button. and you should be getting it when you attach images. however, in my experience, sometimes this button doesn't show up for whatever reason. the following method works for me when I run into this problem (which happens with some regularity btw). start a new blank outgoing message and attach an image to it. don't do it from photoshop. just drag some large image from finder to the message composition window. hopefully, the scroll button will show up. adjust it to "actual size" and close that message composition window. next time you attach an image to a measge it will use the same setting to display the image, i.e. 'actual size".

Importing a video layer from photoshop cs5 to after effects cs5

hi - you guys were so brilliant and prompt on answering my last question. thankyou
i did have another i needed help with -
is it possible to bring in a video layer from photoshop cs5 to after effects cs5 - i tried but it said "the photoshop library operation failed because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop"
thanks again

In the import dialog box, uncheck the Photoshop Sequence option.
The problem is the number on the end of your file name. When After Effects sees a number there, and there are other files in that directory with the same name and a number, it thinks the images are part of a sequence and will enable that checkbox.
More info here: Import a single still image or a still-image sequence

Do you see problems with text size when importing from Photoshop?

Hi all -
We're working on improving some things in the Photoshop-to-Reflow workflow, and right
now specifically investigating trouble with imported text.
Aside from the desire to have support for local fonts, are there any problems you run into
when importing text from Photoshop into Reflow? We've heard some issues with text size and position,
but want to make sure we understand all of the cases.
If you have problems in this area, please share them in this thread, and I'd also love to get some
sample PSDs that demonstrate the problems. (You can send them directly to me; vmitnick at adobe dot com .)
thanks,
Vic

I'm using CS4.. and I'm using the standard "Save As" .pdf features....
and I'm reading it with adobe acrobat pro 9.1...
i think it has something to do with compression. but i can't figure out how to solve it. converting the text to symbols maybe?

hi barbara
thank you for your response, i appreciate it. there's definitely nothing wrong with the mouse or trackpad, both work fine in every other application....i can also easily change size dimensions in other programs on my computer so it doesn't seem to be that either. it seems like there is something weird going on in the way that pse and my mac are interacting with each other, just wish i knew what it was. thank you again, wish me luck!

When printing from Photoshop on Photosmart C 410 A, size is reduced. Other programs print true.

When I try to print from Photoshop, the size of picture is greatly reduced. I tried printing a picture inserted on word and also using the HP Photo Creations program and they did print true to size. Any help greatly appreciated.

Eileesrn,
We have a few options that we can try. The first I would like for you to try is:
Under "Printers", rename the Photosmart C410 Fax driver to PS C410 Fax
Please let me know if that helps.

How to get "Layer Mask Hides Effects" from Photoshop Plug-in

How to get "Layer Mask Hides Effects" from Photoshop Plug-in.

I don't think there's enough information here to give an answer. Is this a Plug-in that you're writing or intend to write? If so, what type of Plug-in is it?
If you are writing your own plug-in, the header files included in the Photoshop SDK/API have a bunch of defines for the proper codes to use.
PITerminology.h has a large amount of keys that can be used to query for information. PIUGetInfo is probably the function that you want to call to determine what you need to know.
If you're looking for information about a specific layer, you will want to make a new PIActionDescriptor, call sPSActionDescriptor->Make(*PIActionDescriptor), and then call GetLayerInfo on the layer that you're querying information about.
You can then call sPSActionDescriptor->Get<datatype> on the layer while passing in the key of the data that you want.

How can you find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas

This is probably a really really simple question but I can't for the life of me find how I can find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas. eg I have 3 photos i want to arrange 1 large and the other two next to it half the size. How can I edit individual image size on the canvas as when I select the image on a sperate layer I want to resize it just resizes the entire canvas and not the individual image
Thanks

I want to know they exact dimensions though. You can get them by dragging to the 0,0 corner and then reading off of the ruler scale on the sides but its fiddily as you have to zoom right in and work it out. I know in photoshop there is a ruler but is there any other way in Elements?
