Ps CS6 Request: Allow clipping of Group to underlying layer

A non-Group layer can be clipped to an underlying Group, but I was surprised to find that the inverse relationship, i.e. a Group clipped to an underlying layer, is not possible. A workaround is to convert Group to Smart Object then clip the SO to the underlying layer.
Please enable clipping of Group to underlying layer.

I think the reality is that there needs to be way more pressure to create such a feature before it has a chance of being actioned. A good example was a recent thread that urged that the brush panel was completely revamped. That had a huge rush of support with dozens of people adding to the thread, and to the feature request ob Photoshop.com

I have no way of knowing, but I suspect that issue has a substantually better chance of being actioned than the one in this thread. We have been told in the past that apparently small changes can need a huge amount of work because of the huge size and complexity of Photoshop, and that is completely believable.
So all I can suggest is that you make a feature request here:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
And post a link to it back here and hope people go and add their 'me too' to it. Personally I find the various work arrounds easy and quick enough, so I wouldn't ne upset if it never happened.

Feature restore request. (allow locked and grouped objects to be able to tagged.

In CS2, using the direct selection tool, I'm able to select and tag the image even if it's grouped and locked, no script needed at all, no sweat and fast!
Furthermore this XML element can also be moved freely in the structure hierarchy after tagged and remains grouped and locked.
In CS3 and CS4,
I can't do that.
It will give a warning message "Cannot modify elements that contain locked content, or are contained by locked content. Please unlock or check out the content and try again."
So need to write script to unlock the image's parent first, and then tag and locked the object back automatically.
(This script is essential so as to prevent any unintentional and accidental change on the page layout if it's done manually)
But to make matter worse, grouped objects will need to also find out all these ancestors and have them unlocked first!
It creates alot of hassle! Really being user-unfriendly in CS3/CS4 when doing such a simple xml tagging task.
PLEASE please restore the wonderful CS2 feature back in the next version of Indesign.
MILLIONS of thanks!!

I'd suggest you submit your suggestion through the iTunes application feedback page. It's more likely to be seen by the iTunes development group that way.

CUP v5.3 SP11.1 - CUP Request button "Existing Roles/Groups"

Hi!
Re: CUP v5.3 SP11.1 - CUP Request button "Existing Roles/Groups"
Can anyone explain why some of our CUP users will see this CUP button in the CUP Request and others will not? Are they missing a UME "ACTION"?
The button works fine, but it only shows up for some users and not others.
Thanks for your help!

Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames?

Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames? As in just one segment of the video? If so, how is it done?

Hi there
The Crop tool in Photoshop functions by cropping the entire image area - however, you can use a Layer Mask to edit an indiviual video or animation frame, as shown below.
1. Start by importing your video or animation in Photoshop, making sure to convert frames to layers (File > Import > Video Frames To Layers...). Go to your layers panel and select the frame you'd like to crop. Turn on the visibility of the layer by clicking on the small check box to the left of the layer icon - it should turn into an eye as shown below. Then, click the "Add vector mask" icon highlighted below.
2. Next, select the Rectangular Marquee tool (or use an alternative selection method if you want a different shape) and draw a seelction around the part of your video/animation you want to keep.
3. Go to Select > Inverse to select the inverse of the area you just selected.
4. Grab the Paint Bucket Tool and fill the selected area with pure Black (#000000). This will effectively "crop" the layer you have selected. You can see below that the layer underneath my selected layer is now showing through where I filled the selection with black.
The great thing about using a mask is that you can edit it or delete it altogether if need be. Note though that the area you mask will show up as transparent pixels in your Timeline panel - you can see the layer I edited on the far right of my timeline in the screenshot above.
Please post again if you need additional help, or if what I demonstrated is not what you were trying to do.
Cheers!

Clipping a group with a pathItem

It seems like this simple task should be working with the following code:
    var OFFSET=5;
    var croppingGroup=newLyr.groupItems.add();
    croppingGroup.name='croppingGroup';
    var cropPath = croppingGroup.pathItems.rectangle(50,50,50,50);
    cropPath.name = 'cropPath'
    cropPath.fillColor=new NoColor();
    cropPath.move(croppingGroup,ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
    surfaceGroup.move(croppingGroup,ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
    cropPath.clipping=true;
    surfaceGroup.clipped=true;
newLyr is a layer, surfaceGroup is a group.
I make a group, and then make a rectangle in the group. Then I add a group to the group and arrange the path in front and the group in the back. Then I set the clipping and clipped. What am I doing wrong?

There is no need for the two code line :
cropPath.clipping=true;
surfaceGroup.clipped=true;
Instead you can use
croppingGroup.clipped=true;

How to change config to allow posting to group currency field

Hi,
I am experiencing a problem whereby the asset for my local currency (USD) is different from my group currency (USD). There are many wrong postings causing this difference.
And it is too late & tedious to do all the correction.
Area 01 Local Currency (USD)
Area 03 Group Currency (USD)
However, I would like to do a posting to asset in both loc & group currency. My current config does not allow changes to group currency field when posting a transaction to an asset. It is grey off. System auto generate the figure.
How to I change the config so that I can also input a different figure for the group currency ?
Please help urgently.
Thanks.
Angel

Hello,
I contact you because I need to maintain a "Person Group" (PERS_GROUP in ADRP table) for 1 sales organization (SD module), but I have no idea how to do that... I checked the customer master data views (transaction XD02) but I did not find anything...
Do you know which transaction I should use?
Thanks a lot in advance!

How do I make a clipping mask whilst preserving sub layer structure?

Hi guys,
I am editing a map and need my map split into multiple rectangular segments. My map is made up of many layers and sub layers which I need to preserve. When I clipping mask the map with a rectangle all of the map's subs layers merge into one layer. How do I make a clipping mask whilst preserving sub layer structure? It seems like a 'layer mask' is the correct tool but doesn't seem like CS6 has it?
Cheers
Mat

I avoid sublayers, because they really were never thoroughly developed, and when you open files, you get all your layers flipped open.
So for me paste in front works great for pasting a mask directly above the element you want to mask. Unfortunatley paste in front does not work well with sublayers so you will need to drag the mask down into the the sublayer. But atleast if you have a complex document with many sublayers, the paste in fornt gets you close.
eg; Mask is in clipboard, I select sublayer Illinois
After doing a paste in front, the mask (star shape) is not in the sublayer, but above
Drag the star shape down one in to the sublayer Illinois, select entire sublayer(use radio button right of the layer name)
and make clip mask

Having downloaded update 10.5, the artists section of my iPod no longer recognises artists who feature on compilation albums. Instead it groups them under the album artist, ie various artists. Any suggestions?

Having downloaded iTunes update 10.5, my iPod no longer recognises in the artists section those artists who feature on various artists' compilation albums. Instead the iPod groups them under various artists, and, if you are looking for a particular artist,who only features on a compilation, you have to remember or search to see which various artist album they feature on - all very frustrating, especially as it worked OK before the update. So far I've not updated any more - so I've not taken 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 because 10.5 caused me so many problems, but I'm wondering if the solution could be in those updates
I've tried amending the iTunes library artist and album artist, and it is possible to get the iPod to recognise the artists, but the downside is that the library then removes the artist from the album, and you then have to play those tracks individually
Has anyone suffered the same problem and, if so, has a solution been found?

Photoshop CC 2014 hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer Group Layers or Layer Palette Group from Layers commands.

Photoshop hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer > Group Layers or Layer Palette > Group from Layers commands. NOT on creating new group and creating layers and drag-n-dropping layers into group manually in Layer Palette. Got a UI design file with nearly 800 layers and lot of groups. This doesn't occur in smaller files. Using OS X Mavericks, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2, Mid 2014 15-inch Retina Macbook Pro.
I understand that the solution would be just to cut the file into smaller files and design each UI view in a separate file but that would be painful. And it does not seem to be a very hard task to just group layers.

Does the document also have a lot of layer comps?
And can you post that document or send me a copy of it so we can see exactly why it is hanging?

Using iMessage 8.0 with Mavericks to send sms message to my friend who has an iPhone. Only allows me to log in under AIM, YAHOO, GOOGLE, or BONJOUR. I don't want to do any of that. Just my phone number. Is this possible?

Hi,
The first run of Messages will ask you to enter an Apple ID to "register' with iMessages.
If you do not do this but open the App and look in Preferences > Accounts then you will see the iMessages account and the Bonjour Account which will not be activated.
Neither of these two account can be deleted. (even if not being used)
If you then press the + icon to add you will get the choices you posted.
To iMessage you need to "register" and Apple ID with the iMessages service.
As Diane then points out you can link this to your iPhone number.
This "syncs" (Displays on all devices) the various iMessages sent to either iPhone or Apple ID
You can then chose on both iPhone or Mac version how or which ID/Number is going to be used to "Start the conversations from"
I have my Mac version set to start from my Apple ID and the iPhone from it's number.
At this moment the Mac version cannot send SMS text messages to an iPhone.
This is apparently coming with iOS 8 and OS 10.10 (Yosemite)
An AIM account can send SMS Messages but only to a limited number of USA based phone users on these carriers.
(Basically you add a phone number with country code +1 as a Buddy to your List)

Multiple Music Videos Grouped Together Under "Unkown Album"

I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1 (this bug might have existed in 8.0.0 but I only noticed it now).
Some of the music videos I have purchased off the iTunes Store are now grouped together under Unknown Album. This only happened for some of the videos I have purchased. There is nothing written under the albums line when I click get info. It only says Unknown Album in grid view, but they are under the same album artwork in Cover Flow.
Here is a screen shot of how it looks in grid view. The "album" with multiple videos is on the left, next to two music videos displayed properly:
Here is what it looks like in cover flow:
The next two are the setting under get info.
Thank You To Anyone Who Can Help!

It isn't a perfect world. Make something up that is meaningful to you to help keep things neat if that is what you are looking for.
I let iTunes do the work and have the 'keep' and 'copy' features enabled in iTunes prefs>Advanced. To keep my stuff simple I have created my own compilation albums and label them as compilations. 80's, 90's etc. as there are to many one-hit-wonders to let them loose all over the place. So by creating compilations I keep things together.
You could apply the same idea to the videos. Call the Album 'My Music Video's' and label them all with that and select the compilation option and they will all be in one place.

Will not allow me to select on under wifi settings

My phone will not allow me to select on under wifi settings. It appears faded as if it is not a possibility. I have tried turning off phone and have tried re-setting network settings.

See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
If none of the tips in that article resolve the problem you have a hardware failure, probably of the radio chip. If you take it to an Apple store they will replace it if in warranty, or for $199 if out of warranty.
