Set current layer question

I've noticed in an action I have, it has a step that says "Set current layer".
What exactly is that and how do you use it? I want to add it to an action I'm creating.

That usally means setting a layer property of the layer that is
active in that action step.
If you click the little flyout arrows in that step (set current layer),
most of the time you can see what the actual step is.
If you want to know just about everthing that has to do with actions,
take a look at action central. Go to the lnk that says "Mother of all Tutorials" and download it.
It's kind of a hard read, but very complete.

Setting a Layer Break for GEAR Pro Mastering Edition with EncoreDVD & IFOEdit

Setting Layer Breaks Manually for Encore/GEAR Projects
Although we can write straight to a DVD+R DL disc directly out of EncoreDVD 2.0 and we can also create our Master DLT tapes directly out of EncoreDVD 2.0 also, there are times when these options simply are not sufficient.
For example - we wish to Verify the successful writing of a DLT Tape, or we wish to create a QC disc for our clients in DVD-R DL format.
Either way, the "option" of using a +R DL disc is often unacceptable.
Another very good reason for +R DL discs to be NFG is that they are NOT DVD-Video format, and as such tend to expect the layers 0 and 1 to be of equal size.
Yet another reason could simply be we are using EncoreDVD 1.01, which does not support direct writing of any DL discs at all.
The solution is to use GEAR Pro Mastering Edition to create your DLT or DVD-R DL disc directly from your Encore project instead.
And here's how you do it.
You are going to need copies of both GEAR Pro Mastering Edition, EncoreDVD (any version) and finally a copy of the freeware application IFOEdit http://www.ifoedit.com/. Additionally, we will also need the GEAR Layer Break Calcuulator, provided for free on their excellent support site at http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/documentation/layerbreakcalculator.xls
Now we are ready - lets look at how it is all done. Don't be put off by what looks like a lot of math here either - this gets easier every time you do it and all it takes is a little common sense and practise.
The best way to proceed is to use EncoreDVD to build your project to a folder. This will not make any Layer Break settings at all, and will allow us to create a new DL Project in GEAR and also allows GR+EAR to build the UDF/ISO structure for us.
So once we have written our tested and checked project to a folder, the next step is to close out of EncoreDVD and launch GPME. By the way - if you're not certain that you need the expense of GPME for a one-off project you can simply download their 30 day trial version and use this as it is 100% fully functional in every way - there are no limitations at all.
When GEAR loads, select to create a new DVD-Video project and be certain you tick the DVD9 box in this screen too. Another window will appear now asking you to locate the folder where the Video_TS files are stored. Point this at the Video_TS folder and GEAR will create a basic DVD9 project for you.
Next we need to load up the Excel Spreadsheet with the Layer Break Calculator we downloaded earlier. I always use a different machine for this as I don't have Office installed and any open source application that can read an XLS file will do the job. If you don't have one, I recommend either OpenOffice or Star Office to do this. There are a lot of helpful calculators in XLS mode, and you won't regret it. Just try to keep all this stuff well clear of your authoring system though. But I am rambling, and I'm sorry. Back to buiness.
Once we have loaded up our Layer Break Calculator, we need to enter in some numbers.
Back over in GPME, where we have our shiny new DVD9 project sat there waiting for instructions, there is a file structure on the lower left hand side of the project screen. Att the top of the list we should see something very much like "VOLUME (projectname) (DVD-Video ISO/UDF)"
Right-click on this, and select "Properties". A screen will appear with all sorts of numbers in it, and we ignore the lot of them except for the "Total Volume Size in Sectors" - which we need to write down, nip across the room to our spreadsheet, and type the number in right at the top where it says "Total Volume (project) Size"
Another set of (probably) meaningless numbers appears - and the 2 we are interested in here are the ones where it says "RULES" and specifically "Layer Break Point must be Greater than .....
And Less than.....
Write these 2 numbers down, and hop smartly back across to where we have our GEAR project open on our authoring machine. Or simply minimize the spreadsheet if we are doing all this on the same system.
We now need to click on the folder marked "Video_TS" in the bottom left of the GEAR screen, and on the lower right we need to click once on the bar in the middle above all the VOB files marked "start sector" to arrange all the files in the sequence they will be on the disc. This makes finding our VTS file so much easier.
Somewhere in that list there will be a file that has that range of numbers in it. If we are really lucky, there will be more than one, which means that one of these will soon become our Layer Break.
When we have identified the correct file, take a note of it's name - it will be VTS_01_4.VOB or something with a similar structure name wise.
Next, we need to write down and enter into the Layer Break Calculator the start sector number of the VTS_xx_1.VOB file that holds our values.
I will try to explain why. If our Sector range is to be found in the example we gave earlier, say VTS_01_4.VOB, we need to note the start sector of the file VTS_01_1.VOB. This is because all these VTS_xx_x.VOB files are all extensions of the same file. They are just in handy blocks so that the Computer can keep track of them without breaking any rules about file sizes. Anyway, we write down the Start Sector of the file VTS_xx_1.VOB where xx is the file where the Layer Break range is to be found.
Just to try & make the concept clear, if the range were found in the file VTS_05_5.VOB, our start sector we need to write down is VTS_05_1.VOB
Enter this into the Calculator/Spreadsheet in the place where it says "Chosen Video Object VTS_xx_1.VOB Start Sector.
Now this will tell us exactly where we need to look next, and tell us we now need to hunt for a cell start sector between a range of sectors.
It might be something like "1,148,678 and 2,051,052" sectors.
This is where IFOEdit comes in.
Launch IFOEdit - and you may as well go back to GEAR, and close the project - but not the application. Go to the "File" menu, and from the drop dow select "Delete GEAR Project" and delete the one we just created, as we will need to change it anyway. Why you will find out later on.
From IFOEdit, you will see 2 halves of a screen. Down the bottom left there is an "Open" button. Click on this and locate the Video_TS folder, and specifically the file VTS_xx_1.IFO, where xx is the file we know from earlier the Layer Break will be placed.
Immediately your head will start to ache, your eyes will glaze over & your brain will wave a little white flag, as some serious mathematics suddenly appears (Well, that's what happened to me the first time. I was too fascinated to be confused - sheer bewilderment is perhaps the best expression. And I still don't know what most of it is for.
The one we are interested in can be found in the upper half, and is called "VTS_PGCITI".
Click on this, and a lot of little others will appear immediately below it.
You will see VTS_PGC_1 and so on until you run out of blocks.
The odds are high our layer break will be in the longest file - but this does not always hold true, so we start at the top & work our way rapidly down. What we are looking for is twofold.
1 - A Cell Start Sector within our range defined earlier.
2 - A cell Start Sector flagged as "NON Seamless playback.
If we can fill both these criteria, we have our layer break.
Write this number down, and enter it into our spreadsheet - and close down IFOEdit as we are done with it for today.
Back in the Spreadsheet we are almost done. Once we enter this number in, it will helpfully calculate exactly where in our Virtual image from earlier that sector lies, and will check to see if it is divisible by 16. Don't worry for now why, just know that it has to do this.
The chances are high it will not be, so the spreadsheet will tell you how many sectors the whole image has to be shifted forwards by, and what the new Cell Start Sector is in this revised image. This is automatic, and you get 2 figures.
1 - Offset. This number will be between 0 and 15.
2 - Layer Break Sector.
Time to go back to GEAR, and in our "Options" drop-down menu we will have another one called "Preferences". In this, we need to tell GEAR to ask us for the start sector to be entered for each file.
Now we create our project again - but this time GEAR will ask us for the start sector of VIDEO_TS_IFO, and the figure 640 will be highlighted.
Add our offset figure we were given earlier to this so if our offset was 11, enter in 651.
GEAR will do all the rest automatically for you.
One more job to do now.
Go Back to "Options/Preferences", and under DVD we need to tell GEAR we are changing the Layer Break. Click on the "Change" button, and use the up/down arrows to arrive at our newly discovered Layer Break Value.
Save the project - we're done. And write down that offset & Layer Break whatever you do.
You can now write to DVD-R DL, DLT tapes (and if you right-click on your DLT drive in the lower "Devices" screen, and choose "Properties", you can tell GEAR to verify the tape after writing too. It will write both layers first, then verify each one.
There is, however, a minor "GOTCHA" in GPME when writing DLT tapes.
It is allowed to set the IDENT.TXT file to be included on the DLT tape by means of a tick box. However, as this file is not actually required for replication in DVD-Video, but only in DVD-ROM - GEAR will not include the file
i even if the box is ticked
but it
i does
add a pointer to the file in the DDPID file instead. The upshot of this is that a DLT tape where IDENT.TXT has been selected to be included will be
i rejected by the factory as unusable.
This is because when they try to verify the DDP image on the tape it will fail as IDENT.TXT is NOT on the tape.
You must ensure this box is NEVER TICKED - I fell for this one recently, and had to rework 7 DLT tapes.
There is yet another way to get a DL project to the factory if you do not have a DLT machine, and do not have access to DL discs in the correct format.
Write the DDP images to 2 single layer discs instead!
This requires the use of GEAR Pro Mastering Edition again, and is incredibly easy to do.
What you need to do here is follow the original guides in the FAQ sections for setting the Layer Break manually, but instead of writing the project to DLT tapes or to DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL media, what we do next is write the project to a DDP file on the HDD instead.
This will result in 2 folders appearing - Layer 0 and Layer 1.
Each of these has the necessary information for the replication plant to manufacture the discs - all we need to do is get them onto 2 discs instead of 2 DLT tapes.
This is simplicity itself.
Launch your burning application.
Create a new DVD-ROM project.
Name it (Project)_Layer_1
Broswe to the 2 folders with the DDP files in them, and add the contents in this exact order
DDPID
CONTROL.DAT
IMAGE.DAT
(Checksum.txt - optional)
(Log file - optional)
Burn the disc.
Repeat for Layer 1.
That is all there is to it.
What will happen at the factory is the Eclipse verification system will look for the DDPID file at the root level of the disc. If it cannot find it, it will assume it is dealing with a standard DVD-ROM disc instead, but if it is there it will know what is going on, load the files, and ask for Layer 1 after it has finished in the normal manner.
I hope this helps out - if not, please post in the main forums, and I'll try to help out.

Hi Ryan,
Yes, you'll only get the LB sector number when you format with one of the "tape images" (go with DDP 2.0). And unfortunately, Gear doesn't allow transfer of DDP or CMF Images to DLT.
Gear is working on a version that will incorporate DVD-9 making within the program.
Meanwhile, If you go with the instructions on their site to create a DVD-9, be sure to add: "correct VTS sectors" in the VIDEO_TS folder with IFOEdit, and set the region info in the VMGM_MAT to "0"; and be sure to flag all instances of a cell properly for the layer break, in the case they reside in any Stories that span the Layers.
But if I may; It's highly recommended that you hire out tests on the resulting DDP image to make sure the layer break did indeed fall where you expected, and that there are no other issues (Same goes with any DDP image destined for replication, created by any other program).
Or better yet, consider hiring someone to premaster for you (I wonder who? , who also includes navigation proofing, spec compliance testing (MEI and sometimes with a player bank) and verifying the finished Image (EclipseSuite); all for one low fixed price, i.e. no charge in the event a resubmission to me is required (pre consultation, also included, nips lots of common mistakes in the buds). This insures that only a bullet-proof Image is finally sent in to the replicator.
There I go with commercials again! But for sure, Gear's current DVD-9 method is not for the faint of head; and premastering in general, is not the innocuous activity it appears to be. Real trouble eventually awaits (unless measures are taken), due to the nature of the critter.
Take care,

How to get current layer type (text, art, group layer, etc.)r discussion here

Hi,
I am traversing over all layers using layerIndex.
I can get current later name in following way.
char* layerName = new char[100];
int32 len = 100;
PIUGetInfoByIndex(layerIndex,classLayer, keyName, layerName , &len) ;
I tried using the keys keyType and keyGroup in the same way but I am not able to directly get type of the layer. Why?
Also, I found similar discussion, which is check the layer is SectionStart, SectionEnd or SectionContent.
Get Layer Groups from C++ plugin
If the layer is a "SectionContent", how to I further check its type (artlayer, textlater, adjustmentlayer, ect) ?

apologize !
I post the question in relevant forum. But I would like to ask extra explanation here.

1. what putEnumerated actually do ?
2. I am traversing each layer so that I have the layer object in JavaScript.
    How current layer object is refereed to above code segment ?

Match edges error message - can't find current layer

Hello everybody,
If I use filter --> "match edges" an error message appears: can't find current layer.
It is no different if it is a smartobject or a rasterized layer.
Are there any suggestions to fix this problem?
What layer-order is exactly to be used?
Is there anything I could try? Btw: the filter "interpolate" seems to work right.
Thank you!

Hi, Dave & Dave -
Wow, that took longer than I thought. I have been back for a couple of hours, and spent that time running the uninstall program, and then going to users/library/VirtualBox and deleting that folder, and its contents. Next I downloaded a fresh copy of VirtualBox from the Sun website, installed it on my computer, then ran the VirtualBox set up (setup the settings) and then clicked on the start icon. After the splash screen, I once again got the same error message. I repeated that routine at least three time, all three times I received the same message.
I then got the bright idea to go into my time machine and went back to several days after I had installed the program previously (March 25, 2009) and retrieved both the program from the application folder, and the vb folder from the user library, restoring them to my present computer state. After all, I thought, if it worked on March 25th, those files should work now. DRAT, I was wrong, Got the same message at the same place in the startup routine.
So, Dave and Dave, after a little more futzing around, I'm now back to the same place I was when I first posted about my problem: My win xp disk will still not mount. ****!!!

Setting the layer color property with javascript

Is it possible to set a layer's color in the layers palette using javascript?
By default everything shows up with no layer color but if you right click (ctrl-click) on a layer you have the option to change the color to Red, Orange, Yellow, etc.
My question is can I do this with a script?
I can lock a layer, change it's visibility and opacity, but I can't seem to find any reference to that particular property.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Zara

This will set the active layers colour....
layerColour("Violet");
function layerColour(colour) {
    switch (colour.toLocaleLowerCase()){
        case 'red': colour = 'Rd '; break;
        case 'orange' : colour = 'Orng'; break;
        case 'yellow' : colour = 'Ylw '; break;
        case 'yellow' : colour = 'Ylw '; break;
        case 'green' : colour = 'Grn '; break;
        case 'blue' : colour = 'Bl '; break;
        case 'violet' : colour = 'Vlt '; break;
        case 'gray' : colour = 'Gry '; break;
        case 'none' : colour = 'None'; break;
        default : colour = 'None'; break;

Eyedropper Current Layer sampling problem.

Using the "current layer" sampling setting for the eye dropper before I apply any top layer adjustments (adding a top layer with a different blending more or adding an adjustment layer) it works fine. When I use any adjustment layers or any layer that has a blending mode, it affects the way the eyedropper picks color especially when set to current layer.
For instance, If I paint a new blank layer with random colors, I create a black and white adjustment layer on top of that one, I select the first color layer I go to pick a color using the eye dropper with the current layer sampling set, it picks a grey color (which is wrong). BUT!! if I open up the color picker with the color layer selected it picks the correct color. Now, if I delete the black and white adjustment layer, and I am back to only having the color layer, I then go to pick a color with current layer sampling still set, it chooses a grey color again?!?! There are no more layers on top of the original color layer I painted first, and yet it chooses a grey color?!?! I hope this makes sense, any ideas on why this is happening?
I am working on Photoshop CS5 12.1 64bit

I'm having the same problem in CS5.
With current layer selected and a not visible layer of curves (contrast) and trying to pick from the current layer it picks as if the curves layer was visible.
I have attached 2 images: first trying to pick with the curves layer off (you can see that it's picking a black color where brown should be picked. Second one with the curves layer on.
After restarting Photoshop every thing work fine again. So I have assumed that the problem is vinculated with the action done before:
Duplicate image 2 times
Gaussian blur of 6px to the first image
Apply image of the gaussian (RGB channel) inverted in mode "Add", scale 2, displacement 0.
And I create a group as you can see on the screen shots.

I can reproduce this issue every time I use this technique...

Belated CS3 Layer Question

Hello,
I apologize for asking a question about CS3, but that's what I happen to be using at the moment. How do I unlock the initial background layer or create new layers when editing, say, a .png? In previous versions, that layer could be unlocked just by double-clicking and setting the layer to Layer 1, and creating new layers would automatically change the image to a .psd while it was being worked on.
I can't believe that I'd actually have to make a new image and copy/paste everything to it; I must just be missing the way to unlock the layer or have my settings set incorrectly.
Thank you for your time

You still double-click on the layer in the Layers Palette. You can also right-click or bypass the renaming step with Alt-click.

CS4 Actions change "Show Current Layer, Toggle With Others" MIA

Greetings forumers,
I have been using Photoshop for years as a hobby and professionally. My employer recently upgraded our Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon computers to Photoshop CS4. The transition has been mostly painless accept for all the changes to the keyboard shortcuts (I'll live).
Recently we have come across an issue with one of our customer's workflows that we have not been able to get by using CS4. Or customer has a workflow that we must work within in order to provide them with the artwork files in a way they can use for other processes. The main parts of this workflow involve layer structure and a set of actions that they have been using since Photoshop 7. Our customer uses Photoshop CS3.
With the transition to Photoshop CS4 in our shop, one line of their action does not function in CS4.
Show Current Layer
Toggle With Others
What needs to happen is at the end of the action all layers need to be turned visible. In CS3, in the layer palette, by Control & Clicking the eye and selecting "Show/Hide all other layers" produced the recorded action 'Show Current Layer, Toggle With Others'. The names of the layers are not recorded. This is good because the action will work on any layer no matter what the name of the layer is. In essence all layers are made visible.
In CS4 performing the same above clicks produces a recorded action 'Show , ...' The diference is that in CS4 the action is recording the name of every layer that it is showing/hiding. Simply change the name of one of your layers and running the action again produces a verbose error box.
So any thoughts on how to make visible all layers in a document using an action that will work on any layered file?
We are constructing our files in CS4 and opening them in CS3 to run the action for our customer as a work around. Or we are manually toggling the visibility, but what fun is that when it used to be automatable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could try this script (CS4 only) to make all layers/groups visible. If it works for you, you could then call it as part of your action.

I can`t use apple store. my apple id needs my paswoord, to set the security questions, after I introduce the paswoord it askes for the paswoord again and again! it doesn`t work, and the paswoord is the right one. What can i do?

i can`t use apple store. my apple id needs my paswoord, to set the security questions, after I introduce the paswoord it askes for the paswoord again and again! it doesn`t work, and the paswoord is the right one. What can i do?

I have figured out already. Firstly please try:
1) Installing iBooks on your iPhone via iTunes on PC/MAC
2) Adjust the time of your iPhone to 6 months ahead (e.g. 2013 May)
3) Close all apps currently running, clear Safari cache and history, sign out of Apple ID (Settings>iTunes & App Stores), reboot your device
4) Open iBooks on your iPhone, download any 1 book
5) System should prompt you to enter 3 security questions
6) Enter your answer and click "Done" at bottom right part of your input keyboard (Do not press upper right button)
7) Done!
I cannot imagine the system has gone so stupid. Apple, please retify the problem ASAP.

The App Store want allow me to download new apps because I have not set up security questions.But I share an iTunes account with my friend. So if I set up the questions will my friend have to use and answer the same thing?

How do I set up security questions on iTunes?

Ever since I updated to the now older version of iTunes I need to answer security questions to purchase music and apps. I never set up any questions to be asked let alone provide the answers. I have no idea what to do. I've tried to contact apple, but all i get is some "tech" guy reading from a manual that the security is in place, blah blah blah, and that I must have forgotten my answers. Putting this on me! This is frustrating! can someone help or at least send me in the right direction. Thanks a bunch!

Indesign CS3: How to get the number of the current layer?

Hallo!

How to set current year,month as default value in combo box

hi, im newbie of xcelsius user
i realize that hv a issue that display combo box base on year & month
let said
step 1
I create excel data like this
year___ | month_ | Product | revenue
02-04-09 | 02-04-09 | a | $4,154
03-04-09 | 03-04-09 | b | $6,813
04-05-09 | 04-05-09 | a | $9,875
05-06-09 | 05-06-09 | b | $6,813
06-04-10 | 06-04-10 | a | $6,813
07-04-10 | 07-04-10 | b | $9,875
08-06-10 | 08-06-10 | a | $9,875
22-06-10 | 22-06-10 | b | $6,813
Step2
Then i go format cell to format/custom date to year & month
Eg1: Year u2013> 02-04-09 convert to u2018YYYYu2019 (2009)
Eg2: Month u2013> 02-04-09 convert to u2018mmmmu2019 (April)
So output like this
year | month | Product | revenue 
2009 | April | a | $4,154
2009 | April | b | $6,813
2009 | May | a | $9,875
2009 | June | b | $6,813
2010 | April | a | $6,813
2010 | April | b | $9,875
2010 | June | a | $9,875
2010 | June | b | $6,813
But the problem is when i insert to combo box,use u201Cfilter Row u201D, i excpectation will display only 2009,2010
But Actual display the Year in combo box is duplicated :'(
so any solution ? and then only how to set current year & month as default value :'(
thanks,
regards

hi,
your created data
step 1
I create excel data like this
year___ | month_ | Product | revenue
02-04-09 | 02-04-09 | a | $4,154
03-04-09 | 03-04-09 | b | $6,813
04-05-09 | 04-05-09 | a | $9,875
05-06-09 | 05-06-09 | b | $6,813
06-04-10 | 06-04-10 | a | $6,813
07-04-10 | 07-04-10 | b | $9,875
08-06-10 | 08-06-10 | a | $9,875
22-06-10 | 22-06-10 | b | $6,813
In this, year and month both are same data, make the diffent data like year 2009, 2010 And month Jan, Feb, March, ...Etc
and also one more check you formulas on month and year, select correct source data, destination data for compoonent..
OR
from above, to create a date column and convert date-->year, date--> month and Explore it.
All the best,
Praveen
