Shake Reduction properties/setting up an action

How do I determine the properties of a particular Shake Reduction session? I have a saved tiff with all of the layers and one layer dedicated to Shake Reduction from a previous session. I assumed that the properties for each layer and/or adjustment is saved in the tiff, however, this may apply only to adjustment layers. It's been a while since my last PS CC session so for the life of me, I can't remember what I was using successfully in that session but I want to re-use them now. It took me a long while to determine this particular set of basic properties and I dread having to re-determine them. I also checked the history of that tiff but the history function may work differently than I would have had it worked if I were in charge of PS so "no dice" there.
I tried to set up a Shake Reduction action whereby my "starting" parameters would be saved instead of the ones the tool determines, but to no avail, so please consider this a follow-up question. How to set up a shake reduction action using my parameters instead of the tool's.

The newer versions of Photoshop have conditional actions. the choice of condition is quite limited. However it is easier use then writing a one line script if do action 1 else do action 2. The conditional actions can not be moved between action sets and you can no rename action sets that contain conditional actions.
Scripting is more powerful the actions for you can use logic and script can examine Photoshop documents, document layer types and attribute. Scripts can use actions and actions can use scripts. Action are easier to create then scripts for script are programs written in a scripting language. Actions can be enhances and actually use a bit of logic using little canned utility scripts. Adobe even supply some in their File>Automate feature like Fit Image, Conditional mode change. Others in menu File>scripts can also be used like delete all empty layers. My Crafting Action package may be of some interest to use as an action creator. It contains more then a dozen scripts I wrote for use in actions.

Shake reduction in Photoshop CC (2014) is 20 to 50 times slower than in Photoshop CC

I asked the same question earlier and got no good answer.
I have replaced my graphics card and software several times and it had made no difference. I even removed my graphics card and it made no difference. I went from an HD 7750 to a Firepro V3900 to a GeForce 430 to no graphics card at all - each time removing all traces of previous graphics software per manufacturers instructions. No matter what, Photoshop CC (2014) takes minutes (or never completes) to do the same action that Photoshop CC does in under 5 seconds. Have removed and reinstalled Creative Cloud app and all Abobe apps - still no change.

Perhaps to avoid any ambiguity, we should get a bit more specific. I say this because given a particular blur trace, the filter will commence pre-processing the image before you hit OK. How about we all try the Shake Reduction function on the very same image with both Photoshop CC 14.x and Photoshop CC (2014).
Here's a test image to try it with: http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/ForumPosts/ElTeide.jpg
Here's a controlled way to test:
Set either your status indicator (at the bottom-left of your work area) or your Info panel to read out the Timing of operations.
Start Filter - Sharpen - Shake Reduction.
Allow the blur estimation process to complete, then press [ OK ].
Edit - Undo (or press Control-Z)
Now press Control-F to repeat the filter from start to finish without the UI.
Read the time it took to complete from the status or info panel.
Do steps 4,5,6 several times and note the SHORTEST time.
Time to complete the Control-F operation:
Photoshop CC 14.x: 20.4 seconds
Photoshop CC (2014): 22.1 seconds
I found kind of the opposite of JJ above... For me it seemed kind of like Ps 2014 used a bit less CPU time overall...

How do you set the End Action on last slide of slideshow

Encore DVD CS3.
I must be the village idiot. I have setup a slideshow with manual advance. I cannot find a way to set the end action for the last slide. When I click on the last slide in the slideshow timeline there is no option that I can find for end action. When I preview the slideshow the last slide goes to black. I set the manual advance for all slides. There is several mentions of end action but no info on how to do it.
Appreciate advice. Very frustrating.
Clif
BTW Why are there no reference books for Encore CS3? It seems very strange. It has been out for a while but NO books.

Thank you for your help. I did what you said but the last slide still goes to black. The last slide also ignores the "manual Advance" and goes to black.
I highlighted the slideshow timeline in the project window and set end action on the properties panel on the right to the slideshow itself. But the last slide quickly goes to black. Each slide except the last one has a box in the upper right corner indicating a cross dissolve transition. I set the slide duration to "manual advance" for the whole slideshow. I feel like an idiot but nothing seems to change the end action of the slideshow or the last slide. Always cuts to black and stops.

Setting up dynamic actions

Hullo there,
I'm still on my way with my Monopoly game.
Now, I have a center panel displaying the squares 'properties' when a player lands on it. For example, when he lands on a Station, the center panel has a list with the price, the owner (if owned), etc. This is done via a SquareListener.
So far, so good. BUT, I'd like now to give the player options in a popup menu.
For example, if the square is owned by himself, he can't buy it, but can sell it or built it. On the other hand, he may buy each square which isn't already oned by somebody...
This is where I'm stuck. My square listener isn't enough here. I'll have a lot of testing and checking to do for each square. So I thought there might be another solution for this.Maybe a list of actions. But what of type would be these ? Moreover, the actions cannot belong to the square, since they will be different for each player (see above).
What am I to do there ?
Sorry if it's a bit confuse, I'm confused and quite lost here, to say the truth.

1) Is it the correct way to do it or should I create a
separate Actions class ?Why are you re-creating the actions all the time?
I would write it as:
public class Square {
    Action buy;
    Action build;
    Action[] allActions;
    //Add some more attributes
    public Square() {
        buyAction = new BuyAction();
        build = new BuildAction();
        allActions = new Action[] { buy, build };
    public Action[] getAction(Player player) { //The method could return a JMenu
        for (int i=0; i<allActions.length; i++) {
            allActions.setEnabled(true);
if (player.equals(owner)) {
buy.setEnabled(false);
return allActions;
class BuyAction extends AbstractAction {
//Add some code here
//Add code for the other inner classes
You could either write the actions as innerclasses, or as separate classes, and write a callback interface. Depends on your situation.
2) I read somewhere some time ago (don't remember
where nor when) that custom actions where memory
consuming and one should prefer actionListeners. Is
this true ? You don't have to bother about that in your case (just try to change your implementation so that you aren't re-creating all actions all the time. Actions is what you should normally use, since an action can be re-used. I.e. you can add/set the same action to a button and menu item etc. And when you disable the action, all buttons and menu items that has it will be disabled.

Shake Reduction filter is slow on a very fast PC

When I render a preview in Shake Reduction filter in Photoshop CC it takes about 10 seconds on an 8-way Intel i7 with 16 GB RAM and an SSD scratch drive Windows PC. I have run performance analyzer during the rendering and cannot find any bottleneck. I am using Intel's HD 4600 graphics chip and have set Photoshop to Advanced Drawing mode in the Graphics Processor Settings enabling all the settings. I did try Normal and Basic settings but that made no difference. Does anyone have insight into this performance problem? Every other Photoshop operation is lighting fast.
Many thanks - Michael

Thanks Michael, but I think the people who put my box together fobbed me off with a low spec SSD. It's so far down this Benchmark list, I'm amazed it doesn't give up and die from feelings of inadequacy.
I have found a few links on how to go about swapping out the boot drive without reinstalling, so will get to it some time soon. I have spent NZ$1600 on my computer since Christmas, and only NZ$500 of that was an upgrade (new second monitor) the rest being replacing dead drives, PSU, and other stuff. Plus it is that hated Tax time again. Oh well. I'd hate to die with money in the bank!

How are multiple blur traces utilized in shake reduction?

I'm starting to get fairly comfortable with the new shake reduction tool in CC and the results are fantastic. It's already saved several old photos that I had given up on as hopelessly motion blurred. Now that I'm getting familiar with the tool though, I have a question. I know the tool allows for multiple blur traces to be created. How are they used, and won't they conflict with one another. If part of the image is more blurred than another, or blurred in a slightly different direction, won't the corrections applied from the blur trace determined by one part of the image actually further blur the parts of the image where that blur trace doesn't apply (and isn't the same true of the second trace then)? Anyone have any idea on how the tool handles multiple traces? Are they applied locally with diminishing effect as the distance from the measurement region increases? Are they applied in some other smart fashion? Any ideas? I'm very curious about this, as I see a lot of potential in the tool to save my bacon in the future.
Thanks,
Dave

Mylenium,
Thanks for the response. I think I'm reasonably comfortable with what's going on under the hood, but I'm still a little confused as to how the tool will work with multiple blur traces. I guess as a thought experiment I imagine the situation where the image has experienced rotational or arcing motion. If the calculations exist in the spatial frequency domain (Fourier space), then a circular deconvolution won't really be possible. In fact any blur with rotational symetry should be problemmatic to reverse (another example would be a radial blur) unless the image gets resampled in a non-rectangular fashion. So let's say there is an image that was slightly rotated so that the left hand side of the image experiences an arc shaped blur that looks like the left half of a circle, and the right side an arc that looks like the right side of a circle. The size of these arcs will increase with distance from the center of rotation. Is this simply a hopeless case where the blur trace that fixes the right side of the image negatively impacts the left side an visa versa, or is there some additional set of smarts at play when multiple blur traces are utilized? Is there a correlation function employed to optimize where a particular blur trace is used to deconvolve the blur function? Academically I'm interested in the algorithmic answer to that question, but from a more practical standpoint, I'm simply looking at how I use these multiple blur traces. Do I duplicate the layer apply one blur trace to one layer and another to another layer and then layer mask them together? If that's really the way to go, then what is the purpose of multiple blur traces? I guess I'm just really curious in the end. Thanks again for the response.

What is the problem specifiaclly?
If the images are intended for web use I would recommend converting them to sRGB which could be done with Edit > Convert to Profile or with File > Save for Web, but as including a Save step in Actions and applying them as Batch can sometimes cause problems I would go with regular converting.
You could also try Image Processor Pro.

How to set the default action of slide switch to auto-rotate

You change the function of the side switch with Settings -> General -> Use side switch to:

Premiere Elements 4 - shake reduction

In Cyberlink Power Director Express there is a function to magically steady footage (handy when it was shot by my kids on their first outing with a video camera).
I didn't see anything in PE4 but a quick search on this forum brings up a plugin for Pr Pro called "SteadyMove" but then discussions that I can't follow easily about compatibility on various versions.
Given that I have Cyblerlink and am already exporting to DV-AVI from there I can apply its shake reduction before export. But if the plugin is free, and works with PE4, then it might be worth using there instead.
What shake-reduction options are there for PE4?

SteadyMove unfortunately is not free, there was an educational version that was free that you could download and it was also given away with Premiere Pro, infact I downloaded the educational version and used it with Premiere Elements for a while, but I think they removed the link.
PE7 has a stablizier included, similar to the one in Power Director I quess. Your best bet is to export from Power Director as a DV-AVI and then bring this into PE4 for further editing.
If you want a really good stablizier then I can recommend Mercalli... it is very good, unfortunately not free.

Shake Reduction - doesn't open image. Message is "unable to locate additional blur estimation regions". What shall I do?

HI - Usually shake reduction works (as much as it does) but I'm trying it on an image with one person moving in hopes of correcting it a bit.
Image doesn't even show up on the screen in Shake Reduction. Just a blank and then a window opens which says "unable to locate additional blur estimation regions.
What does this mean? Shat shall I do?
Thanks!

Action Set renamed - Now actions won't run

I had a set of actions named "Kevin's Actions" to "Kevin's Actions CS5" (I have both CS5 and CS3 installed.
However, when I tried to run actions that had references to an action entitled "Kevin's Actions" it wouldn't run. Seeing the problem I tried simply dropped the CS5 and renamed the action set BACK to the original "Kevin's Actions".
THE PROBLEM: The actions still won't run.
Is there a way to get them running again? I really don't wan to have to re-creating them ....????
Thank,
Kevin

Hi guys,
Below are screen shots of the first action in the set, the First action it calls out and the error message I am receive. I checked spelling, spacing and capitalization and it all seems clean to me???? You'll probably have to enlarge these to see properly:

I don't have the Camera Shake Reduction Option in Photoshop CC

I don't have the Camera Shake Reduction Option in Photoshop CC, why is this and how can do I resolve this? I have a CC subscription, I have Photoshop version 13.1.2.x64.
Thanks.

You don't have PS CC, you have CS6. CC (CS7) versions will become avialable in June.
