Missing color when I import layered psd in FCPX

I just created a simple .psd file with a background and two layers of text. I have added effects on the layers to give color and texture to the text.Looks nice in Photoshop, but these effect do not seem to follow when imported in FCPX. I just have plain back text.
Is it possible that I cannot import those effect in FCPX?

Duplicate your psd file and open the copy. Rasterize all the layers with effects, then save. Import the copy and see if that works.

  • A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

    Hi.
    There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
    If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
    If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
    Any help with this problem?
    Thanks.

    How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

  • Importing layered .psd's - DSP 4.0 thinks its a quicktime single layer file

    I'm trying to import a layered psd, menu buttons for a custom menu. studio pro 4.0 doesn't recognize my photoshop CS2 files and imports them as quicktime files, which of course doesn't import the layers. The manuals says DSP wants an independent 24bit format for each layer. Problem is Photoshop doesn't have a 24bit setting, only 8, 16 and 32. I'm stumped. How do I get a layered psd to be recognized by studio pro?
    thanks,

    Do you get the PSD into the assets, and then fail to place it as a layered background? If that's the case are you dragging it into place, or choosing the layers that should show for each button combination? Also, was it a layered menu you made?
    If it doesn't get into assets in the first place, have you used any advanced folder arrangements in the Photoshop document? Can you save out as Photoshop 6 compatible, or something like that?
    Don't worry about it being 32 bit when 24 bit was asked for, it should still work. But perhaps make sure that the Mode in Photoshop was RGB, and not CMYK.

  • JPEG changes color when I import to fcp 7

    I created this image on photoshop but when I import it to FCP, the grays become brighter. I've made sure it's already in RGB Color mode not CMYK. I've imported other pictures and there seems to be also a color change, not as drastic as this one though. So I believe it's a FCP problem not photoshop. Please help!
    EDIT: I'm on Mac OSX 10.7.5

    Delete the still from your project.
    Go to the menu Final Cut Pro > User Preferences.
    Click on the Editing Tab.
    Set "Imported Still/RGB Video Gamma" to 2.20.
    Click OK, and re-import the graphic.
    Does this help?

  • Cannot import layered PSD

    Last night I updated to OSX 10.10.2, this morning I dragged a layered PSD file into the project pane, held the item there as previously had opened a menu asking me to import the layered project or a single layer, nothing happens.
    I just re-installed Motion5 and nothing has changed. I cannot import the layers of a Photoshop file.
    Any suggestions?

    Along with the other suggestions, you should set the following in PS prefs:
    You don't always have to rasterize layers. If you create Smart Objects for layers with adjustments, etc. you can retain all of those items within the smart object. Other applications should "see" the smart object as a rasterized layer.

  • Cannot import layered PSD into DVDSP4

    This seems to be an intermittent issue where a layered PSD will show up as either correct, where you can manipulate the layers, or just as a Quicktime Image with no layers. There seems to be no reason what causes the PSD to show up either way. I've tried standard D1 (720/480 or 486) and neither work. Is this an issue with Lion? I've never had problems with this before. I'm in the middle of a project that I have to get this working... please anyone... help!!!

    I just created a PSD in PS5.1 with 6 layers and brought it into DVDSP 4.2.2 running under 10.7.3 and dropped it on the menu. The layers show up fine.
    So what does my experiment prove? Nothing really other than what you have said already. It works.
    But, apparently, not for every file. So, the difficulties lie somehow in those files that are showing up as un-layered.
    If you save the layers out and bring them back into a new PS document, does it import?
    fwiw - I also saved the same file as a TIFF with layers and it shows up in DVDSP as an unlayered file.
    x
    edit -Is there a particular effect or element on a layer that is forcing DVDSP to collapse the layers? You could try deleteing layers from your non-working psd file to see if it will import without that layer.

    Hi  - Go ahead and try the steps in this document.  It will walk you through cleaning the contacts on both the cartridge and in the carriage.  What can happen over time is ink residue can accumulate on the contacts preventing the ink cartridges from working properly.  If this doesn't resolve the issue, try setting the cartridge with the nozzles face down on a damp paper towel for about 45 seconds just to resolve any problems with the ink nozzles.
    Hope that helps.

  • Importing layered PS files

    Hello. Using Aperture on Leopard. When I import layered PSD files, they come in as masters, not PS files. How can I get them to come in as PS files? If I import a PSD file, opening it in External Editor (PS) opens up a new version of it, which has taken the layer information, used it to build the image, but then opens with a flat PSD. I have years worth of layerd PS files that I really need to include in my Aperture workflow. I can't be the only one having this problem. Anybody? How do I import PSDs and have them retain their layers?

    Make sure your Aperture Preferences are set to export a .psd and make sure Photoshop Preferences are set to File Handling>File Compatibility to Enable large Document Format (.psb) and Maximize Compatibility

  • Workaround (??) for layered PSD imported as flatenned PSD problem.

    So first the fact that Aperture does not support importing layered PSD files is a huge problem (BUG/Feature) that's gotta get fixed.
    In the mean time, I found out below:
    * When a file is imported, it is saved in a bundle in Aperture Library under:
    ProjectName.approject.
    * Right-click and Show Package Contents on the bundle.
    * You will see a bunch of folders that end with .apimportgroup. (If you did a single import into that project then there is only one.)
    * You can either open those folders or search using Spotlight for the file name. Aperture stored each file in a dedicated folder under the .apimportgroup folder. So if you use spotlight look at the folder with the same file name of the image.
    * Good News: Aperture still has the original PSD file with the layers in that folder.
    * Now go back to Aperture and open that image with "Open With External Editor" and after it opens just save and close Photoshop without doing anything.
    * Now Aperture created a new folder for you with the name as "ImageName 1". Go back to Finder and open that folder. In that folder you will now see the flattened PSD file.
    * Copy the original PSD file from the original folder into the newly created folder overriding the flattened PSD file. (Agree to replace the file when the dialog pops up.)
    * Go back to Aperture. Now if you open the versioned file with Photoshop you will get back your layers!!
    So as you can see it is very easy to import PSD files with layers. Now repeat the above procedure for your other 10000 PSD files and you will be done. (Automator anyone??)
    Cheers!

    It seems from what I've seen that the problem isn't in importing layered PSDs, they import fine, and if you do an export from master, you will get an untouched copy of your layered file. The problem is that if you "Open in External Editor" when your master is a PSD, Aperture has to make a version of that file before it opens it in PSD, and the version that it makes is flattened.
    So it looks like this would work to deal with this, but what a kludge!

  • When using external editor, iPhoto does not re-import the .psd file

    Hi,
    I've just started using Photoshop Elements 6 as a more advanced editor in iPhoto. When I do the 'External Edits' wihtout adding layers etc. and re-save as a JPEG then the photo will re-appear in iPhoto as the edited file.
    However if I do the external edit and add layers then save as a .PSD, then the file does not update.. I have to save the .PSD file in a desktop folder then import the file after.
    Is there anyway to force iPhoto to pick up the .PSD automatically after an update if I save it to the iPhoto library?
    Thanks,
    Glyn

    Glyn:
    The folllowing might be of some help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you import a psd file initially then you can edit it via the external editor, with or without layers, and do a normal save and iPhoto will recognize the changes.

  • Layered PSD files not importing correctly

    Hey all,
    I'm working on an animation, and I'm trying to animate some text layed out in a specific way in a .psd document. I export the psd to the desktop with the layers box checked, and I keep "maximize compatibility" on. When I quick-look the file or re-open it, it appears correctly. However, when I import it into FCPX (v. 10.0.6) all of the text, which is black, shows up as just a black image. When I drag the file into the timeline the layers separate as they should and have the correct titles, but they appear black. In the original document it was black text on a transparent background. I never had this problem in FCP7, it's new to FCPX. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Is the PSD 8-bit RGB? Was it made on a Mac or PC? Are each of the layers rasterized or in bitmapped form?

  • ILLU CS3 CMYK Colors print wrong from placed layered psd, flattened ok. Why?

    Hi all,
    I searched the help, faq, kb and forum. No success, so I hope someone out there has some advice for me.
    Environment:
    Illustrator 13.0.2 (CS3), Photoshop 10.0.1 (CS3) on WinXP SP2, color management enabled (same settings in each CS3 app), printing on calibrated Xerox DC250 (PS-RIP), ISO Coated simulation profile.
    The problem:
    When placing a cmyk-psd with layers and embedded color-profile in AI 13 (cmyk-document) and printig, the colors do not look like they should. When I flatten the psd in Photoshop, place it again in AI, everything's fine. But why?
    On screen, every psd looks the same.
    When I place the same PSD with layers in AI 12.0.0 (CS2), there's no problem with the colors.
    Is there a need to flatten PSDs in AI13?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    > I've always thought that EPS is a paths-only format. It seems it can also contain raster graphics?
    Nope, if you put a raster image into something, it stays raster in the EPS.
    Try to save the file as a PDF and see if that works better. That is the preferred format for newspaper ads, and many places still refer to it as an EPS.

  • AE Keeps locking up when I import .psd

    Hi.
    this is happening about half the time I import a .psd into AE.
    the import boxes come up and it freezes. I end up having to force quite AE.
    what should I try to do to fix this? its slowing me down big time.
    thanks,

    I am using CC and I'm on windows 8.
    these photoshop files aren't big. 1100x800 typically. with a couple layers.
    when it works it works fine, but it is randomly getting hung. they are all rgb.
