Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions.
However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box. If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette. Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box. Then use menu File>Save. Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.

How do I create a rule that scales like this?

Hello,
I'm creating a page where I want a solid white horizontal rule. 4 pixels high, fixed distance from the top of the page, fixed distance from the left, and always attached to the right edge of the screen. Something like this:
Is this possible? Thanks.

Insert a horizontal rule styled with the following CSS:
hr {
color: #fff;
background-color:#fff;
margin-top: 40px;
margin-left: 80px;
height: 4px;
width: 100%;

CS3 Illustrator & Photoshop won't scale proportionately using parallels

Hi there
I have an Imac and am using Parallels 4.0 to access Windows XP on it. I have CS3 Master Collection loaded on Windows. The problem I have is with the proportional resizing with this software.
The issue occurs when I'm using Photoshop and the transform tool and scaling an image/object holding shift on the keyboard and using a mouse, usually this would retain the object proportions whilst scaling but it doesn't. Similarly, when I use Illustrator and try to resize an object using the selection tool and holding shift it doesn't retain the proportions either. That's just happening when I'm using CS3 via parallels and Windows. With the Mac running CS3 it doesn't happen nor does it happen when I boot straight into Windows without running Parallels. If I hold now the Caps lock key with shift it works but it's not a great fix as then when I go to type Caps lock is on etc.
I've seen this issue on forums but usually the fix is to do with Quicken or Entourage, here's an example but not a solution for me unfortunately: http://www.layersmagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1206
I'm not running Entourage or Quicken or any of the other software that seems to cause this issue.
I'm wondering if there is a conflict with the Mac/Windows and Parallels or something.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also posted on CS Windows forum.
Thanks, Jo

If your using the Application Frame in photoshop, does clicking on the Green Maximize button fit the the photoshop application to your macbook pro screen?

Suggestions for drawing a ruler-like linear scale

I need to draw a linear, ruler-like scale along the bottom of several images. For example, I may need to draw a vertical tick mark every 10 pixels. If I only needed to do this to one image, it's pretty straight forward: I'd zoom in tight, use a fixed sized marquee to position a few vertical guides every ten pixels, draw the vertical lines, and then copy/paste/move/merge the layer repeat the tick marks. However, I need to do this to 20+ images each of which has different scaling requirements. I tried making one large scale and then transforming it to "rescale" it to fit the various images, but (obviously) the lines do not remain one pixel wide or remain solid black as they are "compressed." I'm wondering if there is a way to automate the drawing of these vertical lines. And an additional complication, in reality these lines need to be drawn on integer boundaries (e.g., every 10.57 pixels), so the first line might be at pixel 11 and the next at pixel 21. I'm not trying to be lazy; just trying to work smart. How would you perform this task? Thanks! (I'm using CS4,11.0.2.)

The Move Tool (V) has a Distribute functions that become available when you have more than 3 layers selected.
Create one tick on a layer then duplicate (Alt + drag in the layer palette) the layer as many times as the number of ticks you have on the ruler (you can also create an action for this) .Move the last tick at the end of the ruler. In the layer palette Shift select the first and last layer with ticks to select all of these layers, and then in the options of the Move tool click the "Distribute Horizontal Centers" button (if you rest the mouse over the button it will say its name)

Photoshop CS5 not printing actual size?

I have created a document in photoshop sized 8.5x11, the same size as my printer paper, at 300dpi. I am using the ruler guidelines onscreen to make an image 6 3/4" wide, but it is printing out too small at 6".
Please note that I am not measuring onscreen by putting an actual ruler up against my screen, I am using the photoshop ruler (so I am sizing according to the 6 3/4" ruler in photoshop, even if it is 8" on my screen)
In the print settings, I uncheck "scale to fit media" and "center image".
What am I doing wrong?

post a screen shot of your process.... it sounds right, but i bet we can catch something in your documentation of this process
thanks

Problem bringing in credit scroll from photoshop.

I'm trying to get a credit scroll that someone made for our short film into a motion project to move it. I had two versions done (one is a revision of the other), but neither seems to import correctly into motion.
I received both as .eps files which I opened up in photoshop and set to 1280 wide in the dialogue box when opening them. When I compare them in PS at 100% they both show just over 4.5 inches wide on the little photoshop ruler. I then save each as a photoshop (psd) file (also tried tiff).
They both show up in the finder window as 1280 pixels wide, but then when I import them into motion and scale them to 100%, the first set of credits is only about 440 wide and the other is only 220 wide. When I try to increase the size of either, the quality starts to drop off.
I'm not that experienced with photoshop, so not sure if I'm messing up something on that end. Could it be a square pixel issue? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Figured it out. The images were "too large to render" and were automatically being reduced by motion. I cut the credits into sections, and they came in at the proper size. I then assembled them into a group and put a throw on it.

Text from Photoshop

I've got a pict file from photoshop with some text
But when i import it in DVDSP3 the text becomes something like muddy.
I've looked here on the forum, and i've tried or done:
- layers are rasterd
- tried all the anti-aliasing options
- tried to blur it
- tried to flatten the image
My font size is 55.
The Font shows perfectly on the tv on the avid computers we have here.
The Dvd is for a tv serie, and the font is fine in the program it selfe..
hope that someone can help me, all the answerd i found on the forum where quite old, maybe someone has discoverd something new

If you are using more than 72 DPI, or the wrong size, in your template in Photoshop, DVD SP scales it for you, which is something you do not want to happen. 55 Point type should look pretty good (sans-serif better than serif.)
You should start with a template from Photoshop (PAL it would sound like).
In CS2 you do not need to scale it because it sets it up up if you are not using the non-square pixel aspect ratio (the 720 x 576 template). If you are setting up otherwise the starting size is 768 x 576 and it should be rescaled to 720 x 576 without constraining proportions (Page 85 PDF)

I want to determinate the price.
If I have a product range of 1 to 5 the price is $ 10.

Condition types and scale basis

Hi
Can any one tell me for conditions types and scale basis for maintaining condition records
thanx in adv

dear
Scales in nothing but a range of order quantity, according to the pricing element depending upon the range of quantity prices way be increased/decreased, higher discounts, low freight changes can be offered.
Ex: when per one item is 100/- if customer placed the order for
Range          price
100/-
95/-
90/-
Check --value:
We can specify the changing rule for scale rates as ascending or descending.
Scale type:
This indicator controls the validity of the scale value or percentage from certain quantities or value up to certain quantity or value, alternatively it is possible to work with internal scales that must be stored in the condition type that is the scale type the interval scale cant be change in the condition record due to technical reasons ex: condition type PR02 graduated scale.
Scale formula:
We can specify the formula for determining the scale base value; we can provide formulas that has not been provided in the standard system. Ex: condition type KP003 to support mixed pallet surcharges can be used
Condition scales:
We can maintain scales for each and every condition type so that we can determine pricing condition value depending upon the range of order quantity.
Ex: If we maintain condition record for PR00 for material one as a Rs.1000/- for one material then we can maintain scale for this material like below.
     Quantity          Price
0-10     1000.00
11-20     999.00
21-30     998.00
31-40     997.00
Configuration settings:
Go to VK11; maintain condition record for PR00,
Select line item and click on scale icon on the application tool bar &
Maintain scale rates accordingly, save it & exit.
Got to VA01 and raise scales order, validity periods to scale. Check the condition value
rewards if it helps

How to install photoshop

I would like to take a jpeg and make it a 50 x 50 pixel for an advertisment. How to I do that? Do I have to install software first?

I am a bit confused, but we should be able to get past that.
Do you have Photoshop installed?
If not, do you own Photoshop?
If the answer to # 2 is NO, then there are many programs, besides Photoshop, that can Scale you JPEG, and some are free. However, if the answer to # 2 is YES, then we need to know about question # 1. To use Photoshop, then yes, it must be installed.
Let us know a bit more, and someone can help you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Photoshop Help | Contact Sheets and PDF Presentations in CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/contact-sheet-pdf-presentation-cs6.html

If I understand your question you want to repeat one image 8 times in one signle page PDF. I do not know for such script that is available. What I can recommend you is to create manually layout in Photoshop and save as PDF. To automate proccess and use same layout but to replace image which is in use with some other, you can use Variables or Actions. Thats only advice I can give you at this time. Actually easiest way to automate things and replace images is to Create Smart Object then to clone it 7 times (Ctrl + J or right click > Duplicate Layer). When you have cloned Smart Objects, replacing content in one of Smart Object will reflect to all other clones. Create layout. When you want to replace existing image with some other use right click on Smart Object > Replace Contents or Layer > Smart Objects > Replace Contents.. Be aware of image (which will replace existing) size and resolution, Photoshop will also scale image which will replace existing to match existing image scaling in percentage. Read this tutorial for more explanation how Replace Contents works http://adobephotoshopsecrets.blogspot.com/2011/01/replace-contents-command-in-adobe.html

Menu text from Photoshop .psd bitmapped on DVD

Hi,
I have edited some footage from DV tape in PP CC, exported sequences and then authored the DVD in Encore with Photoshop .psd files with text layers for menus.
PP CC Sequence settings: 720x576 25fps D1/DV PAL
Export Settings: Format: MPEG2-DVD Preset: PAL DV Wide Progressive
The problem I am having is on final DVD the text on the menus appears very bitmapped, I have left the text menus as text in the psd so should I rasterise it? I have done a test with some menus and tested through encore and it appears not to be any better although I don't have the facility to test on and actual DVD player in my current location.
Whilst creating the sequences can I up res the footage in Media Encoder to 1920x1080 and set my menus in encore to that but would this mean I would have to write a Bluray rather than a DVD?
This footage is 14 years old and I want to get the best from it, my knowledge is limited so any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Martin
PS Any ideas why Adobe are not developing Encore any more and can anybody suggest any alternatives?

Auto scaling takes time to execute the rules

Hi,
I am using the windows azure application. In that I am using the scaling feature provided into the azure portal. Here, I have configured the rule to scale up my web role instance by 1 if CPU load increases up to certain limit. and the reverse rule that for
decrementing the role instance.
However, I tried to increase my system load. and checked the scaling feature. So, here I observed that the rules gets satisfied to auto scale the role instance by 1 but it took around 12-15 min to execute it.
NOTE: I have set the rule checking time duration to 5 min.
Please help me.

Thank you for your response.
But I guess this will not solve my problem. Let me elaborate my problem in detail.
I have a site hosted on azure environment. To make the site performance better we are doing some research out of that one attempt we did is the performance test. So in that we are increasing the load on our site to check how it works with heavy user load.
And we observed that when web roles CPU usage goes beyond 50% then we gets lower response from our site. So get the better performance we have used the scaling feature from azure portal. and configured the rule that if CPU usage goes beyond 50% then scale
up the web role instance. Here, we observed that when CPU usage goes beyond 50% at the same time scaling doesn't triggered and we got lower response from our site and then after 12-15 min scaling rules got executed and at that time CPU usage was around 70%
but the triggered in auto scaling was for the 50% condition. In short we are experiencing delay in executing rule. Please help.

SCAL Config for a 4-4-5 Accounting Calendar

Hi All.
I'm attempting to build a custom factory calendar to support specific jobs that run at the end of each accounting period in a shop that follows a 4-4-5 accounting period schedule.
Apparently, you need to set a special rule within the calendar you build in SCAL. Problem is I'm not sure what the syntax is supposed to be here. Has anyone executed this before - what is the proper syntax for special rules in SCAL?
Thanks everyone!
