Smart filter in bridge

Hi guys, I hope this is right forum to ask.
I'm making order in my older pictures and I was wondering it there is a way to create smart collection/filter to show pictures where file type is equal (pdf or raw or jpg) and where keyword doesn't exists.
I want to make sure I have keywords in every picture now but I would like have smart collection/filter like this to help me find pictures without keywords.
I can lookup files without keyword but all folder, subfolders and other files will show as well.
Thanks for your help. Charles

Problem with this approach, and maybe it's just settings, is that it will show me just 1st sublevel of directories.
Let's say I have this structure.
Photos
2004 2005 2006
and under each year I have other subdirectories....
If I am in Photos folder and I go in Filter tab and keywords it will show me that there are 3 files with no keyword. Those file are folders 2004 2005 2006
I have to go into actual directory with pictures to see files.
I was hoping that I would be able to setup conditions in smart filter that would give me pictures without keywords as I have described in previous post.
Am I missing something?
Thanks Charles

After ios5 upgrade cant get out to the internet via wireless, it wont get past our Smart Filter (web filter)

I just upgraded my 3GS to IOS5, and now at work when i am connected to our WiFi I can no longer get out to the internet.
A little back story on how it worked prior to ios5:
I would connect via wireless, and then load Safari and type in a webpage I wanted to go to. A pop up box would come up, to authenticate me on our Web filter server (Running Smartfilter), I woudl enter my regular Active Directory username and Password and boom, i could then surf to my hearts content.
After the upgrade, I connect to the wireless, load Safari, type in the webpage i want to go to, and the progress bar moves abotu 3mm and then stops, I never get the smart filter prompt.
I have tried a full reset on the phone, forget network, reset all network settings, I even tried putting in the IP address of the smart filter box as a proxy and still it doesnt work. I have gone to smartfilters website to see if anyone else has posted there, or if there was a clue as to why it doesnt work, but nothing so far.
anyone else having this problem? any ideas?
If it wasnt broken, why would apple mess with it! a LOT of companies run smartfilter as well as other web filters. I thought apple was trying to seduce corporate customers, and so far a lot of poeple are dissapointed that they cant get to the internet.
tha
nks in advance for any assistance.

I am having the same problem. The issue also occurs with Safari on Mac OS 10.7. I work for a school and I am sure that other schools are using smartfilter too.

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.

Using Camera Raw as a Smart Filter in PSCC2014

I followed this tutorial but in the end I could not get it out of 32 bit mode. It kept wanting to process in HDR pro. I wanted to change the mode to 16 bit but was not able to. I was happy with the image but it was completely unavailable for saving.
Any help?
Adobe Camera Raw as a Smart Filter in Photoshop CC | Adobe Evangelists - Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

Not all formats support 16 or 32 bit modes. When moving from 32 bit mode you are shown a dialog box, that is to set a balance to your liking for how it should look in 16 or 8 bit mode.
A 32 bit mode can be saved as a psd file and maybe a tiff file, but really there are not a whole lot of other formats that do support 32 bit mode. Oh yea pdf will as well.

After reinstalling Photoshop PS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge

Hi, after reinstalling Photoshop PS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge. I create a smart collection by entering criteria, but when I click on SAVE, it is not saved. In my old installation (before I had to install a new hard disk), that never was a problem.
I am using Windows 7. Before, I used a hrad disk for the system, now I have a SSD, plus seveal hard disks for data storage.
Can anybody help me with advice what the problem is?
That whould be great. Thanx,
Jochen

Strange Grid Pattern when Using Smart Filter

I added a smart filter to my image in Photoshop CS5 and performed a Highlights and Shadows adjustment, and there's now a faint diamond-shaped grid pattern over the entire image. This shows through all adjustment layers but disappears when I turn off the adjustment layer.
This occurs on both of my two monitors, and it happens at every scale that I view the image at, including 100% actual pixels.
I'm using a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz, with 10GB RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card. Running the latest Mac OS X, 10.6.3 and the latest Photoshop, CS% 12.0 x64.
Any clues?
-=-Joe

Ok thx, got the file and tested it.
First of all: Yes, I see the pattern, so it is obviously independent from both Hardware and operating system, I tested on Windows 7 / CS5X.
I can approve what c.pfaffenbichler found. Obviously we were wrong with our yesterdays findings that the transparency is not transparent. Instead, it is. It is barely visible, but testing it myself it seems to be "real" transparency, but at a very very low level, 1% max. I put a solid color behind that Smartobject.If you turn that layer visible, the grid disappears. To make sure that it realy is the bottom layer that shines through and not some kind of weird "new bug fixing other bug" thing, I put 2 layers behind the Smartobject, one pure black, one pure white. As you should expect, the image turns slightly (!) darker if you turn the black layer visible compared to the "only white layer visible" status.
So obviously shadow/highlights really seems to affect the transparency of smartobjects. Sometimes. Sweet. Will this be fixed?

Applying smart filter to a cropped image

In my case, I have a smart layer and the smart filters on it.
I cropped the smart layer without deleting cropped pixels and now I want to apply a little bit vignette and a border with one of the smart filters.
But, the smart filter is applied to all the pixels in the image, not to the cropped ones.
I'm duplicating the smart layer and rasterizing it and applying the filter on this second rasterized layer, but there is no way, the filter is always applied to the uncropped image.
Is there a way to apply a smart filter only to the cropped pixels of an image?

So, this would mean that by using a color matte underneath, it's parameters would be independent of those of the image above it?
Yes
If I wanted to have the image move or re-size, I would have to then apply the changes to the border seperately as well?
Yes, although since you are cropping an image you could copy the clip you've cropped, then Control Click the matte clip, select Paste Attributes, and check the Crop box. This will size your matte to the exact crop of your clip. Then load the clip into the viewer and since it's a crop you can slightly modify the crop or you can simply move the matte clip a little down and to the right or left or whatever your taste desires. Now you have your clip and a border.
If I wanted to have the image move or re-size, I would have to then apply the changes to the border seperately as well? Or would I nest them into 1 clip then apply size changes?
At this point Nesting them would be faster.

Using ACR smart filter on 32 bit images

After combining 3 images in HDR pro then opening in Photoshop CC using the ACR smart filter, how do I keep the edits I made when I then flatten the image and convert to 16 bit?
I seem to loose all the edits I made and it just brings up the HDR Pro options.
What is the point of being able to use the ACR smart filter if you then have to start again on a 16 bit version???

I usually save the 32-bit version before flattening and converting to 16-bit. Then you can always go back to the original edits by opening the 32-bit file. But yes, granted, this is a two-step process.
When you are confronted with the HDR dialog again, under "Method," just choose Exposure and Gamma. Then you won't lose all your HDR construction work from before.

Photoshop CC v 14.0 for Mac-Smart Filter Masking

I have a standalone Photoshop CS 6 v 13.05 and a Photoshop CC v 14.0 both running on the same MacPro using OS x 10.8.4.
The Smart Filter Masking by painting in the standalone version of Photoshop CS 6 works perfectly.
However, try as I might I just cannot get my smart filter/s masked by painting in them in the Photoshop CC version.
Is there a switch or setting somewhere that I’m missing? Checked everywhere I can think of.
Any tips

File damaged after using a smart filter

Hello,
we got a serious problem with PS12.0.2 , OS 10.6.6 on Mac Pro 2,4GHz Quad Core 24GB RAM.
As you can see the File is corrupted after using a smart filter.The undo function has no success.
Is this a known problem? Maybe with memory or graphic card?
thanks
jens

I am afraid bad RAM may be a possilbility.
Does turning off openGL have any bearing on the issue?
Other than that, boilerplate-text:
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

What is smart filter

I am trying to copy filters from one layer to the other. I did this in my previous version before I upgraded to CS4. Now when I move the filter to a different layer it no longer is on the original layer. I understand I am supposing to be using smart filter. I don't know what this is or how to use it. Any advice or how do I use this? All I am trying to do is move my filter so I can include it on another layer. Thanks.

Filters originally were destructive, meaning they changed the elements they were applied to permanently.
And they were not visible in the Layers Panel, because they had simply changed the pixels there without leaving further traces (except the History).
When You are trying to move a Filter in the Layers Panel that means it must be applied as a Smart Filter, which can only be applied to Smart Objects and is nondestructive, meaning it can be edited later on and doesn’t change the original Layer content.
To duplicate the Smart Filter don’t just drag it to the other Layer, but alt-drag (or rather option-drag) it.
Edit: I had missed Josh’s post, which offers sound advice, indeed.

Saving Smart Filter Settings with Layer Comps

Have attempted to save various smart filter setting combinations for a stack of smart filters using Layer Comps but all layer comps default to the same smart filter setting regardless of the setting when the layer comp was created.
Consider changing Layer Comps be to save the smart filter settings also.

This is exactly what we're having trouble with right now! Adobe Send Ideas, please update and/or fix this soon!

Smart Filter

Not sure If I missed the point when trying to create and use a smart filter, I know that the FCP X is more a Pro tool that iMovie that I have been using for a while now - however in iMovie I could click a few options to see clips that matched certain keywords in ALL my events. Can I only assign a smart filter per Event or is there a way to set something up to view everything that is keyworded "Outdoors" across all my events?
Thanks...

Of course you can. In the Event Browser, select the hard drive containing your events, rather than selecting a single event. Now type "Outdoors" (without quotes) in the search box. All your clips in that hard drive that have this keyword will appeared, grouped by event.

Lightroom ignores smart filter masks

I just noticed the following problem after upgrading from LR4 to LR5:
- Select RAW (.CR2) file in LR5
- Edit in -> Open as Smart Object in Photoshop (CS6)
- Apply smart filter
- Use smart filter mask to apply filter to portion of image
- Save
When viewed and exported as a .jpg in LR5, the filter effect is not masked, but applied to the entire image. The .jpg saved directly from CS6 is correctly masked. As a workaround, the smart layer can be duplicated and rasterized. Is this a defect introduced in LR5?
Update 6/27/2013:
The problem also exists in LR4
It is not related to RAW, or Open as Smart Object from LR. It can be reproduced by:
- create a new image in Photoshop CS5 or CS6
- convert to smart object
- apply smart filter (something noticeable, like solarize)
- add a smart filter mask for a portion of the image
- save as a .psd
When imported into LR4 or LR5, the smart filter mask is ignored, and the filter is applied to the entire image.
Can anyone else reproduce this problem? Is it a known limitation of LR?

I doubt it. When you operate on the layers level, all you have is pixel values of the individual layers without one layer knowing about the other. Filter chaining outside of what smart objects offer would require a much different approach to the whole matter and then we talk about a workflow similar to node-based compositing applications, where each processing operation is concatenated with the previous one in terms of how the code runs under the hood. Not something that will happen any time soon in PS, I think.

Lighting effects smart filter shifts between documents

I have a smart object (a rectangular shape layer) that I have applied a Lighting Effects smart filter to. I got it looking just how I wanted, then moved it over to another PSD (by dragging and dropping the layer group). When it landed in the other document, the whole effect had shifted, with the position of the light changing on me... Why is this, and can it be avoided?

One way would be to convert your shape layer a smart object,
then instead applying the filter, double click on the smart object thumbnail
to edit the contents and convert the shape in the document that opens to
smart object and apply your lighting effects filter and then save and close
that document.
Now when dragging between documents, the effect should stay the same.
