Script to get Exif data on text layer in PhotoSHop CS4

I am trying to find (or learn how to write ) a script that will include certain exif data on a spearate text layer in an open image. I do not want the full, verbose exif rather soemthing that reads
D3; 70-200 f2.8 @ 89mm; 1/60; f8; ISO 200; Matrix; 0.0 Ev; Apertrure Priority; Flash Y/N
Is there something liek this available? If not, any (polite) suggestions as to how I write same? Especially how do I callup the various fields that I require?
Thanks,
Dave

There are scripts that place metadata from the documnet into a text layer. I don't know of one that uses those exact fields. You could try modifying one of those or create your own.
If you want to create your own, the doc's metadata can be accessed with app.activeDocument.info , app.activeDocument.info.exif, and app.activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData

Script to update EXIF data in iPhoto '08

I shoot some photos with a digital Nikon D50, and some with a Leica M3 (35mm film). The pictures from the digital Nikon are encoded with plenty of detail in the EXIF tags, but the digitized images from the Leica and the 35mm film have only a few tags from the scanner.
I wanted a script that would update the desired EXIF tags direct in iPhoto. I looked around on the Internet at other scripts, and wrote a simple script to update a few EXIF tags on selected images in iPhoto.
I hope this script is of use to others.

Where can I get the texture file puzzle.psd for Photoshop CS4?

Does anyone know where I can get the texture file puzzle.psd for Photoshop CS4? I searched the web and got lots of links but none of them results in me downloading the puzzle.psd file.

Thanks for pointing to this free puzzle action! I ended up discovering several other great actions (both commercial and free) that I have a use for on the website of the puzzle action author.

Cannot paste text into a text layer in Photoshop

Since a couple of days ago I cannot paste text into a photoshop text layer from any other source, like safari, word etc.
I get an "popup error"-window in swedish (my language) saying something like "Could not complete the paste text command because the clipboard data was invalid or missing."
Anyone having the same issue? Or maybe a fix on the problem? Of course i've tried restarting photoshop and also the computer. Running Mac OS X Yosemite and the latest Photoshop CC 2014.

Well I can't paste any text into any DW document, file, blank, page name, nothing
The paste command does not work in DW
I have deleted corrupted cache
I have tried Restore Preferences
Nothing allows me to paste text in any format from any file format period.

Can't get "true" height of text box (text object) in Photoshop CS4-CS6 on Mac

I'm seeing this behavior in CS4, CS5 and CS6 on the Mac using AppleScript. When I get the height of a text object layer as such:
     tell app "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
          tell current document
               set textObjectHeight to height of text object of art layer 1
          end tell
     end tell
The value returned doesn't match the height of the text object. In my mind the text object is the box that's displayed when I click on text in a text layer with the text tool active. The value for the width appears to match, just as I'd expect.
I'm trying to get the height and width of the text box (text object) so that I can draw a box "underneath" it on another layer so that one can tell where the text box is. Kind of an FPO-type assistant. I'm currently using the position values and the height and width to create a colored box. I realized that the height isn't exactly right.
Any help would be great appreciated. I've not explored the use of Javascript thus far, but am open to that as a solution.
Thanks,
Stephan

I tried your code and it works just fine here… I used CS5 to try it… Here is a screen shot… I just put a solid fill layer at the bottom so you can see the guides…
Script editor's event log gives me…
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
activate
get position of text object of art layer 1 of current document
                    {150.0, 100.0}
get width of text object of art layer 1 of current document
                    800.0
get height of text object of art layer 1 of current document
                    449.999969482422
make at end of current document with properties {name:"fill"} new art layer
                    art layer 2 of document "Untitled-1"
          select current document region {{150.0, 100.0}, {950.0, 100.0}, {950.0, 549.999969482422}, {150.0, 549.999969482422}} without antialiasing

EXIF data dropped when editing in Photoshop Elements 6.0 from iPhoto 8.0?

I've seen various posts about EXIF data issues, mostly about geo info. My question is:
Does iPhoto not include the EXIF data when you have it set to edit your photos in Photoshop Elements 6.0? The reason I ask is because I can easily see the EXIF data in iPhoto but when I choose to view the file info in PSE, it's not there - or at least in the detail that it was in iPhoto (i.e. camera make/model, aperture, ISO setting, shutter speed, etc.).
Anyone else notice this? What's going on here? Is this an issue with iPhoto 8.0?
Thanks for any insight and input.
Best regards,
Jason

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
I believe is you use PSE this way and then export out of iPhoto as Terence suggested you'll get the metadata.

Updating EXIF date/time in XML files (Bridge CS4)

Is there a way to re-read the EXIF date/time information from RAW camera files and update that existing information in the XML files?

To my knowledge not with Bridge, maybe with a script.
Basically the problem occurs while using multiple camera's that have not all the same correct date and time. To my experience the quickest way is to bite the bullet once and using the filters for date time for each dslr and apply labels to each dslr, then manual select the correct sequence and rename the whole bunch with a sequence number in front of all the filenames so you can use filename to sort the correct order.
And after this of course check next time all date and time settings before starting a new job :-)

Pasting text into a text layer in Photoshop CC 2014

I've been playing around around with Photoshop CC 2014 HTML5/Javascript extensions (CEP5) for a while now and I came across a problem I couldn't solve: how to paste text in an existing text layer when the user is editing the text? Using evalScript and app.activeDocument.paste(); works fine when pasting copied pixels as a new layer, but if the user is on a text layer editing the text (and I want the extension to paste text there), it throws an evalScript error.
Am I doing something terribly wrong or what? The next thing I thought was to invoke paste event and try it that way.

I only see the normal texture filtering. Seems like you have a fundamental misunderstanding here about how 3D works - "pixel perfect" has no meaning for 3D textures since UV space is parametric and has by itself in theory infinite resolution, so any texture will be fit into this range and inevitably a single pixel in the texture can cover more than a pixel on screen or more than a square milimeter on a 3D object. If you want "sharp" textures, you increase the texture resolution, which, if you realyl want that pixely look would be doen using the nearest neighbor method. Regardless, once you zoom in at some point you will see fuzzy edges/ pixels again. It's in the nature of the thing.

Can we apply embedded font in extension to a text layer of Photoshop ?

Hi All,
I have embedded some fonts into my Flex extension panel of Photoshop.
Can I apply these fonts to any text layer?
Kindly help URGENTLY!
Thanks,
D.A

Here are 3 options for future reference:
1. With the setup you've described, apply a Match Move behavior to the text and make the rectangle the source. Change the Transform parameter to Mimic source. This way you can still adjust the text postion as needed, but the rectangle will drive the animation.
2. Use a group to do the animation. Put both your rectangle and text in the same group and animate the group's postion.
3. Use the Link behavior.
Each of these has it's advantages depending on what you need.

Locked Layer in Photoshop CS4

Hello,
I have a layer in photoshop that refuses to unlock. Doesn't matter how many times I click on the lock, it just keeps telling me it can't edit the layer because it's locked.
The file is in RGB and I just don't get it. So frustrating =[[

I've seen this before under certain circumstances. You can group layers together and select "Lock all layers in Group" from the flyout menu at the top right of the layers panel. At this stage, you can unlock the layers in the group through the same command.
The odd thing is that while the layers in the group are still locked (via the "Lock all layers in Group" command), you can ungroup the layers, and the individual layers remain locked. I never bothered to look for a way to unlock the layers which were locked in this fashion because in my case it was easier to just create a new layer and copy the contents of the locked layer into it.

How get Permission to install plug in in Photoshop CS4?

I recently uploaded the plug in (Raw 5.2) for my new camera Canon 5D Mark II. Photoshop CS4 do not allow me to install in the required folder (plug in,file format). I get a message staying I do not have permission. How I change this in my computer (Windows 7). I loader plug ins before, but do not had this problem.
Thanks for any help.

First, you should definitely install the latest, Camera Raw 5.7. You can do so by visiting this page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4683
Secondly, if you're experiencing permissions problems you could try running the updater (or Explorer, if you're just copying files) As Administrator or [temporarily] disabling UAC.

IF SOME1 Gonna say you are at the wrong forum again.. im gonna .... i dont know.. if im at wrong forum again tell me the right forum. thank you

You updated Quicktime or your Windows Media Architecture, used a different CoDec in your video, use an incompatible Codec to begin with. Furthermore, you could have upgraded your graphics card drivers, messing around with hardware accelerated playback. Really not clear. you need to provide more info about the matter, even more so, as you use non-standard video player software in your demonstration video and it's unclear, if any other tool based on Windows Media Architecture or QT would play the videos without problems. and please, don't use excessive formatting in your posts, it is bad conduct and very impolite to "scream".

Help: Not getting all data from text data type

Hi there
I have a stored procedure that returns a couple of fields and one of the fields is of datatype TEXT. In my ResultSet, I do not get all the data back that is stored in the TEXT datatype. I have say about 600 charactors in this field, but only 30 charactors are returned. Is there a reason why this is happening and how can I fix it?
Please help?
Thanks

I set that field to have a normal string of about 50 charactors. Namely: "this is a note that is about 49 charactosrs long." (exclude the quotes). And I still got 30 charactors back only.
I set a shorter text value of 21 charactors and that returned all 21 charactors.
The text that is usually in this field is:
"URL=SubsidiaryNarrative.html�BABY_CARE_PRODUCTS=false�AIDS_FOR_PHYSICALLY_DISABLED=false�SPORT_SUPPLEMENTS=true�NATURAL_REMEDIES=false�COSMETICS_FRAGRANCE=false�WOMANS_HEALTH=false�ADDITIONAL_CARDS=No�EXERCISE_ROUTINE=Yes�NUMBER_OF_CHILDREN=0"
And I got out "URL=SubsidiaryNarrative.html�B"

Change Locale / UI Text Options of Photoshop CS4

Sorry to bug you all but I've searched the answer to this for two days and can't find anything.
I recently installed CS4 Design Premium on a PC running Windows 7. When I resize an image (Image>Image Size), the dialog window always displays the Document Size in centimeters. Unfortunately I'm in the U.S. and haven't yet converted to the metric system and it's a royal pain to change the drop-down to inches each time.
In my "Locales" folder the only subdirectory that exists is, "en_GB". In Edit>Preferences>Interface:UI Text Options:UI Language there is only one option available which is "English: UK". I'm pretty sure that during the initial install of the suite I selected "United States" as my Locale. And is there any reason to have a drop-down with only one choice and no means of adding others (no need to answer this one, I'm just thinking out loud)?
Is there any way to add the United States as a Locale without having to re-install the Suite?
Many Thanks

Is there any way to add the United States as a Locale without having to re-install the Suite?
The locale for the main program is defined by the serial, not necessarily by your language selection. Shared components derive their locale from this as well and/or in part from the system setting. That issue with installs wrongly using en_GB is quite common, though. It usually occurs when other Adobe software with shared components already was on the system and coerced the installer into using the wrong language. However, short of reinstalling everything Adobe after having sweeped clean with uninstalls and the CS4 Clean Script, there is no way to resolve this.
