Putting an action layer over a layer with a clickTag element

Hello,
I am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer.
That has been fine, but now I want to loop it and I usually put my actions in the top layer. Will this cause a problem? Am I better off just putting my loop action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?
thanks!

Great!!
Something not to worry about

Trouble with putting PSE action files on new computer with Windows 8

My laptop crashed and I had to get a new one. Reinstalled PSE 10 and cannot find where to put my preset action files. Previously, on Windows XP, I put files into a program data file under photo creations. I can't find a program data file or photo creation file. Can anyone help me?

You can drag your mouse to the left lower corner of the Desktop screen and when Start pops up, right click and choose Control Panel.
Then pick Appearance and Personalization and in the next screen to the right of where it says Folder Options, click on
Show Hidden Files and Folders.

How do i take one layer with multiple selections...

how do i take one layer with multiple selections and make those selections their own layer?

Yes sir. It w was really hard to explain. It is discontiguous segments that are separated by transparent areas. And I want those non transparent areas to be on their own layer. I have a photo shop file that has a bunch of buttons on them and they are on a transparent background. It is one layer. I want to select all the buttons and put them on their own layers. I can do this manually by selecting a button and cmd Just to a new layer, but when I have 200 buttons it is a daunting task.

Where is the "allow objects on slide to layer with master" in Keynote 6??

Upgrading to Keynote 6 has broken my presentations. I had borders on the master slides, supposed to appear over any other content.
Now the content of the slides systematically goes over the master slide. I searched the web and found that in previous versions there was a "allow objects on slide to layer with master" option.
Where is it now?? Anyone has an idea?
Thanks

FYI, this is the error message I'm getting when opening the presentation. "Slide objects were moved in front of master objects"

Baking a Layer with Camera Movement

Picking up on my adjacent post...
I'm trying to bake a layer in a project that has camera movement... we start on a man in closeup and then we zoom out to a long shot. But if I turn off the camera, the man is in closeup and stays that way. Baked and imported into the project, you'll have just the man's head when the camera pulls back in the live project.
With the camera on during baking, there's the move. But now import that into the project, and the camera motion is double applied -- the baking time and the live time.
How is this done?
Thanks very much for your help.

You can export the layer with the camera turned on, which will "bake in" the camera move, then when you bring it back in, put it in a 2D group so that it's not affected by the project camera.

How can I convert a layer into a smart object with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10?

How can I convert a layer into a smart object with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10?

That feature is only in PS. Elements as you buy it has only limited support for smart objects. If you use File>Place to add something to your image it will come in as a smart object (within the limits to which PSE understands smart layers). However, if you know someone who can write an action for you in PS you can install it in PSE, or you could look into something like elements+ from simplephotoshop.com.

How do i transform a layer with maintain aspect ratio through scripting in Photoshop?

Hi,
How do i transform a layer with maintain aspect ratio through scripting in Photoshop? I am expecting your reply.
thanks,
Rajiv.s

I don't think your talking apples to apples. First I do not know of any Maintain Aspect Ratio icon in Photoshop. The only icon I think associated with transform is the anchor point icon in the option bar for transform. I think you may referring to the constrain check box in the image size dialog which you can check when resample is checked. Image size effect all layers in the document and the documents canvas size. The document canvas size will be changed to the values in the images size dialog and all layers will be transformed by percentage the canvas was changes while maintaining the layers position over the canvas and the layers I think may be cropped so only pixels over the canvas remain.
I do not know if you know that layers can be any size and have aspect ratios different then the documents canvas.
In your case it sounds like your describing a template that has a canvas size that is 2000px wide be 3000px high a 2:3 portrait aspect ratio. Your image file has a landscape aspect. If you place that image into your template place would by default transform the image so the image would fit within the 2000px by 3000px canvas size there would be a white border top and bottom. You could transform that smart object layer to it actual pixels size activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(100,100, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER); then calculate the size you want to transform its height to. By retrieving the canvas size and the layers boundaries. Divide the canvas height pixel size by the layers pixel height size should give you the percentage you need to use. Make sure you set the ruler units to pixels so your working with pixel values for the canvas and layer size values. The resulting layer will be larger then canvas size keeping the anchor point centered will result in the canvas size masking off both sides. In effect cropping you landscape to a portrait. Note cropping a image from one orientation to the other changes the composition drastically.
If your trying to make a composit like collage you may want to look at my Photoshop Collage Toolkit it will fit images to fill a 2000px by 3000px area http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PhotoCollageToolkit.html
You could also do centered 2:3 crop that is resized to a 3000px

Grouping Adjustment layer with Gradient Fill layer

Page 151 of "The Missing Manual" suggests that one should be able to group a Levels Adjustment layer with a Gradient Fill layer so that the levels adjustment fades out to one side.
If I understand this correctly, the setup would be:
Levels Adjustment Layer (grouped with layer below)
Gradient Fill layer (with a gradient from Opaque to Transparent)
Photo in Background layer
but I cannot get the desired effect of original picture on one side blending through to adjusted levels on the other.
I can get the desired effect if I dispense with the Gradient Fill layer and simply manually create the gradient on the mask of the Levels Adjustment layer but this loses the advantage of easy adjustment of the gradient.
[Thanks to those who answered my question about linking a mask to a layer. As this is a separate query, I thought it best to start a new topic]

Sanders1,
I thought I'd try it, myself, and got results that I did not expect...
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1OVdT0C7oX46DsPm6TrfT5xxrm3h
1 - The background image.
2 - I created a Gradient Fill layer using color (red) to transparent.
3 - I created a Levels Adjustment layer, set to reduce red and green,
leaving a blue image.
4 - I grouped the Levels Adjustment layer with the Gradient Fill layer.
Is this the type of result you are seeing? I wonder what is the logic.

Replace colors on multiply layer with predefined color

Hello,
This is my first time here and I've tried to find an answer to my question but haven't been able to. Maybe someone can help me whith this.
My process:
I scann my artwork (linedrawing)
I color my artwork with multiply mode on different layers (as i'm sure many do)
Now what I haven't been able to figure out is how to replace the color on this multiply layer with a predefined color from my colorswatch.
I've found tutorials on how you can change colour around by using hue/saturation and stuff like that but I have a predefined colorpalette. So I just want to replace a certain color blue I always work with, for a specific color green from my palette.
I've used the replace brush tool but the colors that appear are a blend of the first color and the second color I use.
So my solution so far has been to set up a new layer and color again. I'm hoping there is an easier way.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Kind regards,
Lineke from Amsterdam

You could have a Color Fill layer for each color selected from your Swatches, with the blending mode set to Multiply, and the layer mask filled with black. Then, paint on the mask with white to do your coloring.

In Aperture, how do you put a background layer behind text?

How do you put a background layer behind the text to offset the color of the pic from the text color? Right now, some pics have whites and blacks that drown out the text, making it hard to read...

I forgot: if you rather want to add a background instead of changing the color of your text:
To add a background behind a texbox,
simply edit the layout (Click "Edit Layout", click "+") and add a Photo Box;
drag the PhotoBox behind your text field.
click "edit content" and add a picture to the background box.
You'll need to import a suitable background photo, or crop some suitable background from one of your images.

There's no standard way to do this in MHP.

Creating an O/R layer with TopLink from Ant or a script

We're currently using JDeveloper and BC4J to generate an O/R layer that simply creates a BC4J entity for each table in our schema with the appropriate associations between tables. The problem with this approach is that it is very brittle. Any change in the database breaks the BC4J layer and we have to recreate the entire thing. Using the JDeveloper wizzard is labor intensive and we want to automate the task of creating a new O/R layer with a script or Ant task, but unfortunately there is no way to do this with JDeveloper.
Can we use TopLink to generate an O/R layer using a script or Ant task instead of the workbench? It would be a great time saver for us if we could point TopLink to our schema and have it generate an entity per table with the correct associations without having to use the workbench.
Thanks.

I have seen some customers do this, although not necessarily with ANT (it was a while ago). We do ship the Deployment Descriptor DTD (search your TopLink install for *.dtd). That should help you generate the mappings. You're on your own with the code, none of the code gen API's are available on the command line outside the MW.

Re-size Layer with Smart Filter without affecting Smart Filter aspect of the layer

I made a wax seal on photoshop with a lot of embossment, bevelment and a Smart Filter. It's done and I just need to make it smaller so it fits well on my certificate. When I resize it (Ctr + T) It pops up a messgae that reads:
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
"Smart Filters applied to layers contained in this group will be turned off temprarily while the transform is being previewed. They will be applied after commiting the transform."
OK
[] Don't show again
I click OK and I re-size the layer with free transform, and then hit enter. The Layer is resized but my Smart Filter which cretaes a wavy affect around the seal is totally distorted.
How do re-size my layer with smart filter without affecting the smart filter aspect of the layer

Right-click on the name of the Smart Object layer in the Layers panel to get the menu shown below. Pick "Convert to Smart Object" to encapsulate the SO and its Smart Filter and Layer Styles inside a new SO which can be resized without changes in appearance.

Photoshop in Adobe RGB 16 bit don't fill a layer with paint bucket and a color 35.40.35.100.

I create a new file in RGB profile Adobe RGB 16bit
take the paint bucket and fill the layer with a color created by selector with the following parameters 35.40.35.100 CMYK and RGB corresponds to 24.20.18 the result is a full level of color 76.73.63.9 but in RGB corresponds to 24.20.18 because the values in cmyk not match ??

Could you please post screenshots (with the pertinent Panels visible) to illustrate the issue?
Are you not aware that you cannot reliably define a CMYK color in RGB because the transformation is performed through the Profile Connection Space (Lab) and depends on the involved Color Spaces/ICC profiles (edited) and the Color Settings?

Photoshop CS6 Beta does NOT fill Layer with 50% Gray when in CMYK-Mode

1. Open a CMYK-Document
2. Create a new empty Layer
3. Use the "Fill..." command with the option "50% Grey"
4. Result should be: 50% Cyan, 50% Magenta, 50% Yellow, 50% Black, but is 49% Cyan, 40% Magenta, 39% Yellow, 27% Black
-> while this function is normally used to create a layer with the blending mode "Overlay" to have a basis for an "invisible" layer where you can lighten/darken the image or add noise to it, the function "fill with 50% Grey" is malfunctioning now, because this affects an image modification instead of being invisible.

There's a definite difference between Photoshop CS5 and CS6:
Noting that the B value is now 50% in the HSB readout, could it be that this may be an intentional redefinition of ''50% Gray''?
