PSD Layers Distorted when Imported

I'm working in an HDV 24p sequence in motion and am importing layered PSD files for the project... If I import the layers fully merged, they are coming in fine (which is of little use to me)... When I import the layered versions, the file appears to be distorted with the top and right side appearing as though someone took the image stretched it and streaked it... any insight?

It sounds as if the psds are too large for the capabilities of your gfx card. How large is the resolution of the pics? Try sizing them down in photoshop.

Mangled Menu. PSD layers EXPLODE when copied and pasted.

I make a menu in Photoshop (DV Widescreen - I've tried numerous formats) and I make a DV NTSC 16x9 sequence. If I import the PSD file and drag the whole thing into the timeline it looks perfect. If I copy certain layers and try to paste them into my DVD menu sequence the PSD layers just explode. The size explodes, the position is way off.
WTH is going on?

In previous version of FCP (before I HD was standard) I could import PSD files with dozens of layers. I could open the PSD sequence, select whatever layers I wanted and paste them into other sequences. The layers would keep all their attributes and positions relative to the original document. This made it very easy to create motion menus for DVD SP. Now when I try the same thing the layers go freaking nuts.
I can see just fixing the file in PSD would solve the problem but if I'm creating numerous menus with slight variations, I need a PSD file for each menu instead of a master PSD file with the elements for all the menus. Minor I suppose but it just seems counter intuitive to have the layers to lose all their scale and position attributes just because they were pasted into a different sequence.
Does this not seem odd to anyone or am I on crack? Or am I missing some obvious setting or aspect ratio?

Photos distorted when imported in Leopard, yet ok in Tiger - why??

I use a Powermac G5 dual processor (non-intel), and find that any photos I import are distorted when viewed or printed. Yet if I boot from an external HD with OS X 10.4 those same photos are fine, and remain so even after restarting from the Powermac HD and viewing them within the external HD.. Reading some other posts it seems that OS X 10.5 may have been corrupted by an update at some point - any help or advice on this would be appreciated!

I would agree, I don't think it's an iphoto issue at all, I dont use that application to any great extent and regardless of the application used the photos are distorted.
I have tried a full re-install of OS X 10.5 but no change. I needed more disk space so have now got a larger HD to install, but I wonder if re-installing while preserving the user settings etc is part of the problem (which was the approach I took)? Im reluctant to do a fresh install mainly because I don't know what would be involved once the system is reinstalled!

CS3 Layers disappear when importing map into InDesign

I have an Illustraor .ai file of a map with many layers and when I import it into my InDesign document
some of the layers disappear. When I open the map in Illustrator they are all turned on but in InDesign some seem as they are turned off or transparent. Very frustrating...any help is appreciated!

Thanks so much for your responses. Although I don't complete understand what the issue was becasue I am no Illustrator expert I did find a solution. I found that there were multiple layers within a layer and also many of those layers had paths/compound paths. So I pulled the layers within out and made new separate layers for them all and removed unnecessary compound paths. So now I have many layers instead of a couple layers with multiple layers within. Confusing I know...but it worked!
Thanks again for your input.

Help! Photoshop edited jpg color distorts when imported into Muse

Okay, so I am trying to build a photography webpage (among others) and I edit most of my photos in photoshop. All photos that I edit in photoshop and save to jpg, look great when printed, uploaded to facebook, etc. however when I import them into Adobe Muse for and put them on my webpage, the colors of the photos become desaturated and/or slightly distorted (so that they look dull). When I edit images in lightroom and save them as jpg and import them into Muse, they look fine, but colors edited in photoshop seem to mess up my photos when imported into Muse.
What am I doing wrong?!

You are using some odd color management settings and not converting to sRGB most likely... Check your settings in PS itself and the Save for Web dialog and experiment around.

Clearcut image. distortion when importing into Aperture3

I clear cut an image in PS then pasted it into a new transparent file. Reduced the image to 600 pixels high. Saved with "web and devices" with png-24 and transparency ticked. The preview looks perfect (see example). Hit save. Go to A3 and use the import button to bring the image back into my library. However, the image has some weird things happening in the background (see example). I use this procedure all the time, putting the clipped image onto a white background but this is the first I tried a transparent one. I've tried the same process with different images but the same thing happens. Also, the same thing happens when I import the file saved as a psd. I would really appreciate any help in solving this. Thanks, bj

Thanks c.p. The prognosis doesn't look good! Is there a way to export the image out of PS. Through MiniBridge perhaps? "Why am I trying to achieve this?" The Company I shoot wine bottles for has asked for an additional image with a transparent background for Web use (As mentioned I have previously always clearcut onto a white background). It is a major account so important for me to deliver the image. As it seems to be an A3 issue I'll post the question on Apple Discussions and see what comes up. b.j.

Audio distorted when import MXF files converted by XDCAM Transfer

I am new to CF Cards and mistakenly copied the clips inside my CONTENTS folder to my hard drive as a backup. These are shot on Canon XF100.
Now I realise you must always keep the clips in the CONTENTS folder or else FCPX will not like it.
However I am trying to bring my clips back to life. I have used XDCAM Transfer and hey presto they look and sound beautiful.
FCPX does not agree. When I import them there is horrible sound distortion.
Anyone out there can help me?
I am looking at my old boxes of tapes with a degree of nostalgia...........

That folder idea worked
Good news
One of the folders still does the boucing progress bar thing
Boo ... have you checked to see that you have correctly renamed that folder BPAV (not BPVA or BPAV and a space or other slightly wrong variation)?

Video distortion when importing MOV file into Premiere Pro

On my mac my premiere is having issues when I import .Mov files. I was shooting on my Canon 70D DSLR at 30frames and when I import files the playback breaks up and is distorted at various points. It doesn't seem like all the files are doing this only some of them have this problem when they are imported. The footage was all shot under the same settings in the same 3 hour period. I tried exporting files and the distortion is still present in the exported media file. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like.

Interesting that it's on the same frames ... have you certain effects that would impact those more than others?
Also ... only 8Gb RAM, sounds like one internal that's pretty much stuffed, and footage on an external ... PrPro runs a ton of crap through both the CPU & the GPU (depending on what you're doing and how much it "likes" your GPU/Vram) and also writes massive files to the database, media cache, and through the CPU use the OS's system cache typically. You've got a LOT of readin'/writin' going on, and with only 40Gb free there's not a lot of free space for things to be just parked for random access in a moment or two.
Also curious ... what's the connection to the external? USB2 or 3? Thunderbolt? eSATA?

How do you export a Premiere Pro screen shot without distortion when importing into Photoshop?

How can I take a screen shot in Premiere Pro (CS6 or CC) without it becoming distorted? Lately, when doing this, the images are elongated. Then, when I bring the image into Photoshop, it looks fine, except that the Pixel Aspect Ratio has been automatically engaged. I seem to not be able to do anything to the image to correct it and when saved, it goes back to its distorted form. What am I doing incorrectly? What is the fix for this? Is this a Premiere issue or a Photoshop issue? BTW, I posed the same question on the Photoshop forum. SIDE NOTE: I tried to resolve this via a chat session...that was an exercise in futility.
Thanks!

The MTS files that I imported into my project are 1080i 29.97 fps, upper field first, 1.0 pixel aspect ratio.
I tried encoding an AVI with the Lagarith codec with these settings and had better results this time but the frame rate still stuttered.
I even tried making an MOV with the H.264 setting and had strange results.
I can make an H.264 MP4 at 1920x1080 with no problem.
What are the exact settings for an MOV or AVI just in case I missed something? I really want to have an uncompressed file to archive that can be easily edited later on. I'm thinking that MOV would be the most flexible format.

Audio fine in VLC, extremely distorted when importing

Hi!
I've tried looking for an answer for this question, but haven't found any solutions at all.
I have a video clip (.avi) that sounds extremely fine when I play it directly via VLC. All sounds are perfectly crystal clear. However, when I import that clip to Premiere and preview it, there is no audio at all (only when I press play/stop, where it sounds like a big "click" or "pop" of some sort).
If I drag that clip to the timeline thing at the bottom and choose "Keep existing settings", the audio will be distorted to an extreme unrecognizable level where the audio sounds like dubstep combined with static. If I select "Change sequence settings", there will again be no audio playing. What should I do to make the sound audible again?
I'm not too experienced in these things, so I don't really know what to look for or change here...
Thank you!

PSD Logo stretches when imported into FCP

I began work on a project awhile back and I am finally returning to it. In a previous thread I was explained how PSD and EPS files work and don't work in FCP. It was very helpful. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4144809&#4144809)
However, I've just noticed that all my PSD logos have stretched out horizontally and they have that lovely fat (incorrect) look to it. The original PSD files in PS looked fine after some tweaking, but as I said, the stretching only appeared once imported into FCP.
Any thoughts? Many thanks.

Hi:
Check the Distort settings in the Motion tab.

Music distorts when importing from CD or Windows Media

I have tried several time to find information to fix this problem and it seems that it is a common occurance. I can't find a single fix for this either. I can't even email Apple support to get help. What's up with that.
Ihave music in Windows Media, whci plays great. I imported to Itunes Windows and now some of the songs are distorted in the middle or entire song. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this.
I have deselected sound enhancer, no luck, I have changed the different types from MPS to AAC, no luck.
I even deselected the error correction, no luck.
What is the problem. I have a Pentium 4 running 2.0 GHZ, 512 RAM, 160GB HD. Any ideas?

Hi
Seems like we have the same problem! And the same "out of luck" response! I have emailed, called and even gone into the apple store in london and no-one seems to have an answer. The guy in the apple store was completely baffled! Have you tried re-installing? The only way i can get it to work is burning cds into windows media player and then ripping the tracks over to itunes (moving them from "my music" files, dragging and dropping into itunes whilst it's open.
Nightmareishly long, but it does work.
Hopefully some people can come up with an answer to correct this properly!
Goodluck!

Accessing multiple PSD layers in Adobe Photoshop Touch from Creative Cloud is important to me.

Accessing multiple PSD layers in Adobe Photoshop Touch from Creative Cloud is important to me. When will Touch be updated with this function? Want the ability to view multiple layers the same way Creative Cloud website can. Having the ability to turn multiple layers on an off in Touch from and uploaded PSD file. As it stand Touch flattens imported Layered PSD files. (Not very useful)

Hi Bford225,
I moved your post over to the Photoshop Touch forum because it seemed mostly about Photoshop Touch.
Currently, I'd recommend converting RAW images to Jpeg in either Photoshop or Lightroom and then uploading them to Creative Cloud for working with them in Photoshop Touch. I know raw support is something our developers are considering so please add your vote here:

How you best incorporate Photoshop Touch into your workflow is hard to say. What works best for one person may not be true for everyone. Photoshop Touch obviously doesn't have all the capabilities of its desktop counterpart but it does have the ease of use and portability of being on a tablet. Personally, I like using Photoshop Touch for editing images taken with the iPad or my iPhone for convience versus transferring to transfer to the computer, or even if I still do, I can do some of the initial edits from the tablet first. Its nice when I only have the tablet available and not a computer. For images I take with my DSLR I always do my editing in Photoshop and Lightroom. I'm able to make any adjustments on the computer much faster than on a tablet.
If you have the option to shoot in both Jpeg and RAW that might be good option (best of both worlds). Do you have the ability to import images from the camera without using a computer - using a camera connectivity kit or something like that? My recommendation would be expermentation, test out different workflows on the tablet and see how you like it and find what works best for you.

How to make Flash preserve color of layers with varying opacity when imported from Photoshop

I have a set of layers in a Photoshop .psd with varied opacities; when I import the psd layers to Flash as Flash layers, the colors of the layers is wrong - the lower the opacity percentage in PS, the more "off" the color is in Flash. Photoshop measures the color of each layer as an RGB value - I don't know why Flash can't preserve the RGB values as well? Any ideas would be appreciated.

You mean like this?
Use a gradient.

TS3811 When importing Photoshop layers into a motion project

if I change position of some elements they are cropped to the bounding box of the first layer imported. If I try to manipulate/animate elements outside this box they are cut off at the bounding box edge.

Layered PSD are set as fixed resolution when imported, this is why things are cropped. Select the group, go to the Inspector, Group Properties and turn off fixed resolution.
