Open multi-layered PSD & always work on original?

Hey guys,
I have two problems with new Aperture.
1) In Lightroom I was used to drag a PSD-File on the Photoshop icon and Photoshop openeded my PSD like I saved it with all my layers and preferences. If I do that in Aperture I just get a small and one-layered version of it. So I always have to click on "show in finder" and then I can open my PSD file from there. Can I change that somehow? I just want to open my original, mulit-layered PSD-file in Photoshop out of Aperture without anychanges or copies.
2) Can I turn these "working copies" ("Arbeitskopien" in german) off somehow? I always want to work on my original photographs and PSD-files without an extra copy of the file whenever I do something.
Thanks a lot!

Select Photoshop as your external editor and PSD as the external editor file format under Preferences->Export. Then select the photo, right-click, edit with Photoshop. This will not create an extra copy of any PSD in the library.
Selecting an orignal RAW-photo will always create a PSD, since Photoshop is unable to read the adjustments Aperture made. This behaviour is probably different from Lightroom, because LR and PS use the same RAW-engine.

    Trying to update my iTunes but keep getting the error message "the URL could not be opened" what does this mean and how do I resolve this? It's always worked fine in the past!

    Select a broken track and press ctrl-i to Get Info. Look on the summary tab for the location where iTunes "thinks" the file should be. Where is it really? Post back the two locations and I can suggest the best approach.

  • Recovery multi-layered .psd file

    Hi, I have a large .psd file 1.56 Gb 27000 x 7200 pixels. I've been able to save but Ps6 crashed (running OS X 10.8.3 SSD 8Gb RAM) and now I am getting the following message "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop".
    I've tried just about everything, GIMP opens the doc but the export flattens layers in folders and is really un-useable. I can't open any backups. Apart from trying a command line utility to convert the .psd to a .psb file (it exports layers to .png files) does anyone have any advice?
    There was never a prompt to save as a .psb file, so I consider this a major bug.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

    You were right to build the graphic at that size in Photoshop, but you must resize the image to 720x480 in Photoshop before you import to FCP. That will do it.

  • Left clicking on some links doesn't load, but opening in new tab always works.

    The best way to share this problem was with a video. So here's a short 7 second gif demonstrating the problem.
    http://i.imgur.com/k5Rs2WJ.gif
    Basically on some links, generally on a google search but occasionally elsewhere, if I left click to open them it will not load, it shows it's loading, but doesn't. If I middle click to open new tab, loads just fine 10/10 times. I've tested the same links on both IE and Chrome, and they work fine, so it does appear to be isolated to Firefox.

    I think I might have figured it out. It occured to me while I only have a couple of addons (adblock, cookieExFilter and Remove Google Tracking) that remove Google tracking .. might interfere with clicking on a link. And apparently it does. Though I'd have to continue to use without the addon for a while to be sure of it.

  • PS 12 files not opening with layers intact in PS7

    Any ideas why my multi-layered psd and tif files saved with PS12 64 bit are opening flattened in PS7?
    There's been some inconsistency.
    Initially all psd were flattened.
    Some tif copies i made were not...but most were still flattened when opened with PS7.
    Perhaps it is because i'm using the 64 bit version and my friend with PS7 is not.
    Thanks for any help. 
    My settings...

    Just to "fill in the blanks" a bit...
    When Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility is set, a flattened composite is saved in the PSD along with all the layer info.  That way, if an older application doesn't understand or can't deal with the content of the layers, it has the option of opening the flattened composite (opposed to just failing).  That's what's apparently happening in your case.
    Now the comments of R_Kelly and Chris Cox will make more sense.

  • Action recorded using RAW open step will not work with layered PSDs

    Hello,
    The title says it all.
    I have an action for resizing photos (and some other things), that I want to make general enough to work on NEF's, JPG's and PSD's. When I recorded the action I used a NEF file and the action works great also for JPEGs and also PSDs that don't have layers. When running the action on a layered PSD, the step immediately after the "open" step fails, no matter what it is. For example, if it's "hue/saturation", I get the error "hue/saturation not available".
    So I was thinking that the image should be first flattened so I added 2 additional steps just after the open: one to add a dummy 0-opacity layer and another step to flatten the image. But no matter what, I keep getting an error at the step after the open: "new adjustment layer not available" or the like.
    I'm thinking that the problem is with the open step actually. For some reason, the o CameraRaw open step is unable to produce a suitable image out of a layered PSD.
    Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!

    Thanks for the explanation.
    However, I am still puzzled as to how the programme can detect lack of time code when the tape was not even rewound or played. I belive the time code is written on the tape.
    Anyway, I tried iMovie and found that the programme detects the camera and controls it. However, it does not recognise the downconverted DV signal. When I turned the DV conversion off, the video was detected and imported using MagicMovie in HD. I still have not gone round to burning on a DVD. ( I only read the article mentioned by Sue after having tried the iMovie programme - somehow the link that was so clearly stated in the reply missed my notice earlier on).
    I have actually recorded the downconverted DV video on a standalone Phillips DVD recorder but the DVD only plays in that recorder and my Mac DVD Player even tho I have finalised the +R disk. The same problem occurs with a +RW disk.
    I appreciate the replies and the explanations. Thanks.

  • Bug Found: Illustrator CC *always* merges layers when opening a DXF file - CS6 works properly

    Bug Found: Illustrator CC *always* merges layers when opening a DXF file - CS6 works properly.  When opening a DXF, CC merges multiple layers into one, even if you have the "Merge Layers" unchecked.  Can a forum admin employee get this submitted as a bug report?  Thanks.

    Thank you Larry.  I just submitted this bug report pasted below at the link you provided.

  • Multi-Layered Image reopens as blank layers with no work done.

    Hi!
    My Quick Selection tool was acting weird, so I saved my multi layered image but when I reopened the image, there was no work saved. All that showed up were blank layer after blank layer with the names I had put in. What happened to the amount of work I put in?!!?!?!?!?!? Is there a way to recover alllll my work? Please Help!!!!
    Thanks,
    Lynn

    Thank you both for your answers.
    In the meantime I researched further and found exactly the issue and a workaround. The issue is only with 16 bit psd files and has to do with alpha channels as you both mentioned. Now, I would disagree that this is acceptable behavior Leonie. In my opinion this is a serious bug but anyways.. 
    A workaround is to place an all white alpha channel exactly after the RGB channels and BEFORE any other alpha channel as suggested here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2708851?start=0&tstart=0
    This is working (contrary to what is said in the above post) but be patient with the previews as they take ages to update.
    Trying to automate this I've made an action to create the alpha channel and used the script manager to run it when a new document is created. Now this does not work because the document is created in Aperture when pressing 'open in external editor' and the event is skipped. I instead had to associate the action with 'open document' which of course means that I will have an alpha channel created every time I open a document..
    I made the action so it names the channel 'bug fix' so I will just have to clean up every now and then.. I may choose to activate the action with a shortcut instead and have to remember every time I create a new document.
    Anyways, a bit of an annoying bug and seems to be around for quite a while. Hopefully Apple is going to fix it at some point.

  • Will layered psd documents created in CS4 open seamlessly in Elements 12

    I am switching from a PC to a Mac and with this change I cannot afford to upgrade my CS4 to the newest version.  Because of this I will instead be purchasing Elements 12.  I have done a great deal of digital scrapbooking in CS4 and therefore I have a lot of layered psd files. With these psd files open smoothly/seamlessly in Elements 12?

    The files should open no problem in pse 12, but certain kinds of layers like adjustment layers (curves,b&w, color balance, channel mixer, exposure, vibrance and selective color) can't be edited in pse 12.
    Other things like layer groups are not easily editable in pse 12.
    Not to mention a host of other features that photoshop cs4 has that photoshop elements 12 doesn't.
    You should probably download the 30 trial version of pse 12 and see if it will do for your kind of work.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    If you aren't familiar with the creative cloud, which is subscription only, you can get the latest version of photoshop cc 2014 and lightroom 5.6 for around $10 a month
    (plus photoshop cs4 is out of the upgrade loop anyway)

  • Safari prefs open Pages in Tabs "Always" not working??

    For some reason Safari "open pages in tabs"+"always" setting has just stopped working. Tabs can be created by opt-clicking, or from within the tab menu bar but NOT by clicking on a link in a page - which it used to. I have deleted Safari plist and cache but no luck. I have made numerous changes in the prefs menu and saved and reset and relaunched Safari but it does not work. I used to be able to open every link into a new tab just by clicking but this has just stopped happening and there was no new software added to Safari. Restart of machine does not help either. Any clues? Thanks and cheers! Sam

    Reinstalling the same version of Safari would have no effect. What I'm asking is whether there was a change in the behavior of the same version (not the same copy.) If there was, please link to a page that exhibits the change and specify exactly what it is.
    It's normal for Safari not to open all links in a new window, regardless of settings. The effect of that setting is to open pages in a new window when the page code calls for them to open in a new tab. That's all.

  • Multi-layered buttons used psd

    Newb here... I have a multi-layed psd file that I would like to use as button. Simply says Lesson 1. One layer is yellow, then white, then red for normal, active, and selected. What do I do to make each layer show as a button as I go from normal (yellow), to active or hovering over the button (white) to selected(red)? been messing with it for a while, but can't seem to get the right combo of actions in the button inspector, or whatever. thanks in advance!

    Quick description:
    Create the entire menu with background as the layered PSD
    Set separate layers for different states (inactive, rollover, active)
    Add the PSD as a Multilayer Menu
    Draw button around your region designated as a button on the PSD
    Make sure that only the background is turned on in the Menu settings in the inspector (checked, and other layers unchecked)
    In the inspector for the button, select and check the layer for the appropriate state.
    Check the state/display with the state/display buttons under the viewer.

  • Open as Layers in Photoshop option does not work

  • Layers are always open

    hello,
    I did a search on this forum without success
    I'm in illustrator CS2 Vista
    why when opening illustrator some layers are always open and not others?
    what to do to remain closed?

    Maybe for some it's not a problem really? It's not something that I've found annoying.
    I think (although I'm not sure) that layers that contain sub-layers open in order that the sub-layers can be seen. Layers that do not contain sub-layers remain closed. Therefore the only way to keep the layers closed when opening a file is....you've guessed it....don't make sub-layers.
