Select type by style and move to layer

I would like to select all the type in my document, at one time, that has a certain style applied. After they are all selected I will move them to a layer so I can set that layer not to print.
Is there a way to select all the type, at once, that has a specfic style applied?
I have searched and found nothing. This seems like it should be a smiple thing to do but maybe not?
Thank you for your time and knowledge.

It's most certainly not a simple thing, because a text frame on one layer may contain text with different styles. If you would move a piece of text out of the frame onto another layer (for example, with a script), it would not leave a "gap" but rather all text would reformat to fill the hole.
I agree with Eugene: if you simply don't want to see all text in a particular style, set its color to None. Be aware other styles may be linked to the one you change, those will change as well.

Can I select all flagged photos and move to a flash drive

Can I select all flagged photos and move to Flash Drive as a group rather than drag and drop one pic at a time?

Hi David,
One way you can do it is to create a Smart Album, and make the conditions = Photo Is Flagged. That will put all of your flagged photos into a single album. Then you can export that Album to the Flash Drive via File>Export. Once you set up the Export the way you want it, and then click on "Export" it will bring up your Finder Window, allowing you to select the Flash Drive to export to.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Duplicate and Move a Layer

Is there a good way to duplicate a layer in one composition and then move it to another composition? I'm very new to the SDK so I apologize if there is an obvious answer.
Thanks,
Jesse

dude, you have no idea how problematic that simple thing you asked is.
you can duplicate effects, layers and masks using the c++ api, but you can't move them as they are to a new target.
this not-so-helpful thread is a good example: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1799202#1799202
but not all hope is lost!
you have a few options:
1. do it yourslef.
get the source footage of the layer you wish to copy, put that source in the new comp.
then copy that layer's properties one by one, and it's effects... one by one, and their params..... one by one...
it's a hassle to program, but once you're done it's good for all eternity.
2. try to mimic copy/paste.
you can use AEGP_DoCommand() to force AE to use it's own copy and paste methods.
the command numbers are: copy 19, paste 20
i never tried doing that, so it's all theory.
and you'll need to be able to tell AE what comp to paste into, which i can't remember how to do (if at all possible) off the top of my head.
3. java.
if you can do that using java script, you can run java code from within you effect.
AEGP_ExecuteScript() will do the trick.
notice that it doesn't run an external jsx file. it runs the code you feed it via a char* array.
that's all i can think of right now.
sorry... no swift solution. (unless my brain has shriveled and the simple solution is right under our nose)

How to make a selection in one photo and move it to another photo

I have always used Photoshop Elements, from 7 up to 12. I just bought Photoshop CC. I am totally confused over it. There's not photo Bin, that is where I use to drag from the open photo down to the one I wanted the selection in. I tried doing it
by making the pictures smaller and dragging them down to the bottom, but then things got messed up and every time I opened another photo to use it open on top of the previous one. To me this is important as this is what I have done
in Elements all the time. I can learn the other stuff about Photoshop later, but this one thing is important to me to be able to figure out. I make pictures for people who have lost their pets or for birthdays and use a lot of digital scrapping stuff in
them. It's always been easy to do so, but now I am totally in a daze over how to do it. Always wanted Photoshop, but I only have 30 days to decided if I like it and if I can't figure this one thing out I will have to return the program. Can someone
point me in the right direction for some tutorials on how to do this one thing?

Oh, and I'm not sure what you mean Load Files into Stack. ??????
In the menu Edit there is an item Scripts and there is an Item Load …
If you want to rescale, rotate, … parts of your composition you should work with Smart Objects.
So see if Photoshop > Preferences > General > Palce or Drag Raster Images as Smart Objects is checked and then use File > Place to put the elements into your layered file.
Whenever you need to adjust one select it in the Layers Panel and invoke Edit > Free Transform (cmd-T).
The advantages of Smart Objects are numerous:
• multiple instances of a SO in a containing document that update simultaneously on saving an edited SO (please note that for a SO to maintain a connection to the external file one needs to use File > Place Linked instead of File > Place Embedded )
• the possibility of placing vector content as Vector Smart Objects (though this will output as pixels)
• non-destructive application of Filters
• non-destructive application of transformation, warp, puppet warp (not all of these are available for Vector SO, but by converting such a one to a regular SO they become applicable)
• combination of elements of different color spaces
• the ability to Replace Contents of SO (for example when faking as-of-yet non-existent products by mapping packaging design elements onto images of a blank container and the design is likely to change)
• Stack Modes for certain combinations of photographic images

Cannot select and move in mountain lion

I am running 10.8.4 on an early 2009 15'' MBP, and I have been having issues where I cannot select an object (file or folder) and move it. This is affecting my other programs, for example, i find that I cannot select and move cursor in Maya.
Not sure why, has anyone seen this before? and can I fix it somehow? I tried restarting my computer multiple times but the problem presists.
thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

How do I select and move all elements on the stage?

I know this is probably easy to someone but I have spent too
much time on it so I give up. Can someone tell me how to select all
the elements in every frame on the stage and simply move it up?
Appreciate any feedback!

Try this: lock the layers you don't want to move. Then click
that little square under your timeline that says "edit multiple
frames". Move the markers at the top of the timeline (looks like
onion skin markers) to your beg & end points that you wish to
move, then choose, SELECT ALL from your pull down menu, you will
now see your desired frames highlighted, and move everything at
once. It's great I've used it several times.
If you would've moved the layer like suggested above it would
only place your items higher in the heirarchy which is not what I
think you were asking. Good luck.

'Clear Paragraph Style' and 'Clear Selection Style'

In an old archived topic, someone wrote:
quote:
In DWMX, you could select text in the design view and in the
"HTML Styles" window (which no longer exists in MX 2004) all you
had to do was click "Clear Selection Style" and all HTML formatting
(paragraph tags, font faces, colours, bold, italics etc) would be
removed. This was marvellous for reformatting tag
based text with CSS. MX 2004 claims to be a CSS machine, but it
seems to lack this very important feature which helps to re-inforce
the use of CSS over font tags.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=189&threadid=714513&arc tab=arc
I absolutely agree, and none of the alternative methods
people suggested in that thread matched this lost feature for speed
and ease of use.
I've not seen a replacement for these commands in Dreamweaver
8 either (although I've often wished for one). Does anyone know of
a hidden feature that exists in version 8 for removing all the HTML
formatting in one fell swoop?

I count 4 steps.
1. Copy the entire line
2. Paste into notepad
3. Copy the entire line
4. Paste into DW
That does it nicely no matter how much presentational markup
there is.

Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1)

Hi,
My Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1). This is what I have tried so far and the problem still exists.
Check preferences for "Text": "Select text-object by path only" should be off. Checked. It was off. Didn't fix it.
Check the toggle for Show/Hide Edges in the View menu. Cmd(Ctrl)-H. Checked. Edges Showing. Didn't fix it.
Trashed my Prefeerences. Didn't fix it.
Any other suggestions out there?
Thank you!!!

I figured it out! I feel pretty silly, but I will share this in hopes of helping the next person :/ Here goes. Don;t laugh to hard!
It was the leading! The space between the two lines of text was less than half of the point size of the actual text. So it looked like two lines but there was actually 3.
Geeze, I'm embarrassed! Thank you for suggesting that I may not need to recreate the entire document, but start with the text, input manually again (even on a new layer, to match the original), which lead to a fix!
Thank you!!!

Filter Effect and Layer Style in the same layer vs separate layers

I'm adjusting a photographic image and am using both a filter effect and a layer style in the same layer on a Smart Object. I want to separate the two effects into two layers, so one layer has the filter effect (Nik) and one layer has the layer style (Color Overlay) (with the goal of merging/rasterizing the Nik filter effect with the Smart Object but keeping the layer style unmerged). I can make two layers and move one effect without problem, but the visual result of each effect on a separate layer is quite different from having both effects in the same layer. The Blend Mode for all my layers is Normal. Within the Color Overlay panel, the blend mode is Linear Burn.
I don't understand why the visual result is different. I'm not an advanced user of Photoshop, so maybe I'm missing something. This is a trial of CS6 that I'm using.
Layer 1: a layer style and a filter effect, stacked
looks very different from....
Layer 2: a layer style
Layer 1: a filter effect

If you want two separate layers, then on the duplicate layer with the Color Overlay layer style you might try different layer blending modes.
For example, below looks the same having the Color Overlay with linear burn on the second layer and changing the layers blend mode to Hue.
You could also put the layer in a group and apply the layer style to the group.

Select layer/object will not move in PS, but will move another layer. Need help

I appreciate the help ahead. I cannot figure this out with my Photoshop CC.
Basically when I select a layer on the right, and then go to move the object in that layer, it moves a different layer behind it.
In the screen shot below on the left I am selecting the artwork layer on the right, which is the flip flops on the shirt.
From here I can use the arrows to move the graphic. However, as soon as I use the mouse to select the flip flop graphic and go to move it, the layer selection on the right jumps to the shading and moves a background layer.
What am I doing wrong? Super frustrating!
Running Win 7 x64 8 gig ram, i7, 2 gb Nvidia card.
Thanks!
Jason

You probably have Auto Select Layer on. (Options bar)

When I try to move one layer to another layer, my drag and drop won't do it. What do I need to do?

The drag and drop technique,don't seem to work in my program. is there something I need to configure?

For an example we will use tab 1 for the old image and tab 2 for the new image. In that the images from tab 1 will be dragged and dropped to tab 2.
Open two images as per above.
Click tab 1 to make that the active document if it is not already
In the layers panel click on the layer that has the image
In the document window (the canvas) move the cursor over the image, press left mouse button down and drag to tab 2 (don't let go of mouse button)
The document in tab 2 will become active
With the mouse button still held down drag the cursor over the center of the document (canvas) {If you wish to center the image on the canvas you may now hold down the shift key while the mouse button is still held down
Let go of mouse button then let go of shift key
You should now see two layers in your layers panel. One image is on top of the other so you can not see the bottom image
You now have a few choices, you can expand the canvas and move the image(s) so they are side by side
You can add a mask to the top layer and paint away what you don't want
You can select parts of the background of the top image then delete it
You can lower the opacity to blend the two images into one
You can use a blend mode to blend the two images into one
This apart is totally up to you and if you need any further advice let us know or if you are still stuck, please capture your screen so we can see what you did and have the layers panel open with any collapsed layers expanded.

Why can't I select and move guides with selection tools?

I'm using Illustrator CC and I cannot select and move guides with the selection tools. The guides are not locked. I can select the guides in the Layers Panel, but I can only move with the arrow keys. I can also "Release" the guides once they are selected in the Layers Panel, but I still cannot move them with the mouse - only the arrow key.
Summary of Problem:
Guides are not locked.
Some guides can only be moved when they are selected in the Layer Panels and when using the arrow keys
Non-selectable Guides can be "Released" but only altered in color and line weight and still only moved with the arrow keys.
Desired Outcome:
I want to be able to move all guides using the mouse for greater accuracy vs the arrow keys.
Thank you for your help.

Channing, anotherhead,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Title Bar stuck under the Menu bar and I cannot select and move it.

I often arrange windows around the desktop and sometimes I inadvertently push a window up too far and the title bar gets under the menu bar. Once I let go of the arrow, the title bar is too far under the menu bar and I can no longer reach it to move it down. The only solution is to close out the program and start over. Is there a way unbeknownst to me to select the title bar again and move it?
Sharon

My E*Trade streaming watch list was stuck under the Menu Bar also. I tried reseting the screen resolution down to 1280 x 1024, and restarting the MarketTrader. There on the display was the stuck window, out from under. I resized and moved it to a central location, and resized the display back to my normal 1920 setting. And to my relief, the window Bar! Thanks Discussion!
