Photoshop pictures come in with no layers

Dunno what is happening.
I have a bunch of PSD files (coming from a Windows machine) as still menu assets. They all have one bg layer to be visible, and one (Chris Linke plugin altered) overlay layer.
Some work fine, some don't. The ones that are problematic appear in DVD SP as zero layers.
Options please...
Bouke

Shawn,
This DEFINITLY works in DVD SP.
Set DVD SP to color instead of grayscale (goes for both subtitles and menus), and you'll see that it is using EXACTLY these colors.
Next, map them to the colors you want.
Normally i use 1 color for menus, so i have 2 anti-aliasing levels.
For subtitles it's different. Since there the titles are white, the outline black there is only one level of anti-aliasing, and best to set that to grey between the title and the outline (since that is always the highest contrast)
I've been using this method for quite some time now, also on commercial DVD's.
The project i'm doing now is a commercial DVD box, and there will be close to 10.000 subtitles and a few hundred menus done this way.
Don't tell me this does not work. Try it yourself.

  • Does Adobe Photoshop Elements come bundled with Adobe Bridge?  Or is Bridge a separate purchase?

    Does Adobe Photoshop Elements come bundled with Adobe Bridge?  Or is Bridge a separate purchase?

    Apparently there was a change in Elements 9.
    From the PsE forum:
    Bridge is no longer included with PSE. If you buy PSE anywhere except the Mac App Store you get Organizer instead. The app store version doesn't have organizer.
    and from a link therein:
    A lot of Mac folks are unhappy about Adobe’s decision to include Organizer with Elements 9 in place of Adobe Bridge, which came with previous Mac versions. (The Organizer used to be just for Windows.) If you have an older version of PSE that included Bridge, you can still use it with Elements 9…

  • When i take pictues with my 4s and the flash is on, the picture comes out with a blue tint.. can't figure out why.. no case or cover of any kind and it still happens

    Whenever I take pictures in a dark place with my Iphone 4, the pictures come out with a purple haze. Why does this happen?

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

    I'm guessing you use a Mac.It's a common problem
    Run the python script in the License Recovery tool. Follow the instructions for your version of OSX. You will be using Terminal to run this script.

  • Pictures come out with grey haze with flash, Pictures come out with grey haze with flash

    When I use the flash on my iPhone 4s camera the picture comes out with grey haze and not clear

    Is your iPhone white or black? The white ones are reported to have some issues like this with the flash because the colour white reflects light while black absorbs it - so I think the issue arises when you turn on the flash because it creates a ton of light that gets reflected back at the lens, which creates glare, which is probably what that haze is.
    On a side note, I have a white iPhone 4S, and I had this problem with the camera flash but only when I had a case on the phone. When I took the case off, it was fine.

  • Why does a black and white picture come out with a tint?  iPhoto, Canon

    When I print a black and white picture from iPhoto, it comes out with a tint.  How do I prevent that? iPhoto, Canon MX310

    Hey neil293,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, when you print a photo in iPhoto it has a tint. I would recommend that you read this article, this article explains how to adjust the tint in a photo.

  • Photoshop 2014.2 bug with duplicating layers in different doc

    Encountered an issue with Photoshop 2014.2 that occurs when I try to use some_basic_bitmap_layer.duplicate(some_layer_in_different_doc, ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER). So this is code that has been pretty much unchanged for a year and works in CS6 and CC2012 and used to worked in CC2014.1. I use .duplicate() with docs and with layers inside same doc, but this is the one giving exception:
    General Photoshop error occured. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
    - The object " <unknown> of layer 2" is not currently available
    Another strange thing is is that in ESTK debugging the exception surfaced in a bit different places depending on factoring. I.e. before I added more detailed exception catching, it occured later in code. But this place is the only spot there is a layer named "layer 2". But gives me the feeling it's an internal state corruption
    I'm guessing it might so specific no-one else will hit it, but I'd like to ask
    - Any workarounds you can think of?
    - Any ways to directly escalate it to Adobe given it's a new release. The general feedback site seems a waste of effort.
    - Any way to downgrade (in a way that normal users could do it also) to 2014.1?

    Thanks for the feedback!
    The sample code is meant for the sample psd, so it's playing on assumption that there is only one layer that is not background, is visible and not locked. In the production code it's always inside a group so it's not a background and we check for locked. Visibility we don't check but it has not been the case in the PSDs we've replicated this in.
    However playing with this I did manage to find a workaround: it's possible to duplicate the layer to beginning of doc and then move it like below.
    try {
        var original_doc = app.activeDocument
        var  copy_doc = original_doc.duplicate("copy_doc", false) // duplicate original
        var export_doc = app.documents.add(original_doc.width, original_doc.height, original_doc.resolution, "export_doc", NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT) // create empty export doc
        app.activeDocument = copy_doc   // select copy and first layer of it
        var layer = copy_doc.artLayers[0]
        // create dummy layer to merge to to flatten all vector & style data
        var tmp_layer =  copy_doc.artLayers.add()
        tmp_layer.move(layer, ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER)
        layer = layer.merge()
        var duplicate = layer.duplicate (export_doc , ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING)
        app.activeDocument = export_doc
        var dummy = export_doc.artLayers.add()
        var target = export_doc.artLayers.add()
        duplicate.move(target, ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER)
    } catch (e) {
        alert(e.message)
    } finally {
        copy_doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)
        export_doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)   
    Also if I try to move duplicated layer without setting the active document Photoshop raises the same exception "The object " <unknown> of layer 2" is not currently available". I.e. it's hitting some internal issue instead of giving the right error of "not allowed to move layers in non-selected document". It kind of makes sense, i.e. duplicating to different doc after certain layer is a combo operation that duplicates to different doc and moves and they different requirements (what is the active doc).

  • Many of my iphoto pictures come up with a pixilated exclamation mark!

    They are all there in thumbnails and some of them will open but others will not? how do you fix this?

    Okay let me explain what I have done so far and what may have happened to see if there is any way possible for me to get them back!
    I cleaned out my documents folder because it had an overload of unneccesary files that were no longer needed! I deleted them and emptied the trash! Well here I am a week later and decided to look at my pictures in order to send some. This is where I noticed that some worked and some did not, even from the same files. For example I have 20 pictures from the same day, downloaded the same way, from the same source and 5 work while 15 show the pixilated exclamation mark.
    Now this is what I have done so far!
    I downloaded mac keeper to undelete any files I can, which turned out to be a waste of time because all it is recovering is any and all pictures it has come across online and from the mac (wall papers, clipart, ect) and .png, .plist, and .tiff files along with the random .jpeg's. I also tried stellar pheonix which recovered a couple pictures but only if they were already online.
    I tried the suggestion where the alt and command key are held simultaneously while launching iphoto and i clicked all of them (rebuild thumbnails, restore, ect) and still nothing!
    Are these pictures lost forever or are they corrupted? If they are corrupted what is my next move to try?

  • Photoshop Elements 7 difficulty with photo layers

    I'm beyond frustrated and hoping that I can explain this clearly. I just purchased/upgraded Photoshop Elements 7. I am using an HP. Everytime that I drag a photo onto a blank canvas, I am unable to resize the photo on the layer without distorting it. I did not have this problem the first time I used the program but have since. I have reset all of the tools without success. I also previously had been able to replace the photo on my projects by dragging a new photo over top of the one that I want to replace, but now I cannot do this either. Any suggestions?

    Hi out there I need some help (BIG TIME)I am new to all this can someone please tell me what Photoshop program can I use to cut the head off of one Photo an put it on another Photo with out spending an arm or a leg for the program I have tried calling Adobe Photoshop

  • How do I resolve issues with missing layers when opening a Tiff file from Photoshop CS5.1?

    I am downloading Tiff images from a partners website. After extracting the file and opening from Photoshop CS5.1 it's only displaying one of the original image layers. For example and image with two guys shaking hands in an office is only opening the clipped two guys and not showing the backgroud. The vendor says the files open fine on their end which leads me to believe its a download or photoshop issue. Any recommendations?

    Thanks Curt... I don't think my explanation was clear. I'm downloading an image from an external webiste. The image downloads in a ZIP archive. After extracting from the Zip file, I go into photoshop and do file open. Only part of the image appears. It looks as if it's the top layer of a photoshop image but since I didn't build the image, I'm not certain it was built with multiple layers. Any ideas?
