Vibrance level not recording in action in CS5

I'm trying to record an action in which I set the vibrance level. After creating a new action I add a vibrance adjustment layer and set the slider to "70". I stop the action and when I run it I get the layer added, but the vibrance level is set to "0".

Warning about creating actions that add adjustment layer. Unless your carefull the way the ply bat will be a crap shoot. Adobe intriduced bufs in Photoshop CS4 adding bad option to the Added Adjustment Panel. In its Fly-out menu Adobe added to option that may brake the way actions andscripts that add adjustment layers work.
That said the newer versions of Photoshop record addige adjustment layers in Two steps. Where old versions added a single step the add and set the adjustment setting. The neer version of Photoshop recirds two steps instead One add the adjustment layer abt the second step adjust the adjustment layers settings. The recording of the second step is also delayed till you start our your next operation. It sounds like you only had the first step and are missing the second step the set the vibrance to some value.
My Advice is to leave these option set to the default setting and forget they exist. Photoshop will work like it always has worked before CS4.

CS5 commands not recordable by Action script?

I'm finding out that some commands such as View > Rulers > Change to Global Rulers cannot be recorded while a command such as View > Rulers > Show Rulers is recorded fine.
I wonder if I should just give up on the Action scripts and look for some OS based keystroke macro recording utility? Any comments?
Thanks
franK

what do you mean?
"Fit Artboard to Window" is something you wish there was a command for?
if so, you could
- draw a "window" with the Rectangle Tool
with the rectangle selected, record an action that does the rest
- Fit Artboard to Selected art
- Save
- Delete "window"
- Close

Join Path not recording in action

I'm trying to build an action in Illustrator CC (17.1) to post-process some vector files exported from a CAD package. The workflow is:
Select All
Object > Path > Join
Effect > Path > Offset... (0.25mm)
However, when recording the action only Select All is captured. The Join and Offset operations are performed on the artwork, but do not appear in the action. I've tried searching around for more details on Join used in actions, or limitations of actions, and haven't found any issues here. I would expect all of the basic object manipulations in the Object and Effects menus to be available for action recording, but it seems that may not be the case? Can anyone shed light on what's going on here?

In the Actions panel menu, take a look at the Insert Menu Item command.

OpenScript does not record Forms actions

Hi all
I've installed a fresh R12 instance with Vision DB to demo OpenScript/OLT. I had some challenges getting R12 up and running on Win2k3 :) but it's running now and I can login to both web and forms screens. It's 12.1.1
OpenScript will not record the forms actions though. It records web fine and records the action to launch the forms screen but nothing after that. I'm running OpenScript on WinXP with JRE 1.6.0_21. I'm using the Oracle EBS/Forms script type.
I've done some digging around these forums and elsewhere and previously there seems to be some work that needed to be done with jars to get the forms recorder to work. Is this still the case? What are the best steps to diagnose this problem?
thanks for any help

I think it is better to not use Socket mode. Do you have control over your server? Which mode are you using now?
1. Look in the Java Control Panel -> Network Settings. Be sure "Use Browser settings" is checked, and that the default browser is the same one you are recording with in OpenScript. Make sure the JavaConsole does not have some other proxy configured.
2. Is your Forms NCA traffic configured on the server for Socket mode? In OpenScript Recording settings for EBS/Load you may need to check "Force HTTP Recording"
3. Is your Forms NCA traffic configured on the server for HTTPS?
Are you using IE or Firefox? Have you been able to record record regular HTTP scripts? What is your default JRE?

Actions not recording curve/levels adjustments or presets

Hi
I'm trying to record an action in Photoshop CC, but it seems to refuse to record adjustments or the selection of a saved preset.
All I get when I play the action, is a new curves or levels layer without my adjustments.
Hope someone can help.
/Martin

I am having the exact same problem. Other adjustment layers when changed record a "set current layer" but loading a preset or making a change on the curve is not being recorded at all. Tried deleting my prefs and that didn't solve anything. Would love an answer to this!

In PS CC, actions not recording settings made...

Hello people,
I could use your help in figuring out why in PS CC, when recording an action, it records adding adjustment layers but not the setting put in the adjustment layers. Help!

There are problems playing actions that add adjustment layers. There is also a difference between how old versions Photoshop recorded Adding adjustments layers an newer versions of Photoshop record adding adjustment layers. Old versions recorded a single step that identifies the adjustment type and included adjustment types setting used. Newer versions of Photoshop record two steps the first make the adjustment layer type and the second step make the adjustment type layer adjustment.
There is a potential problem playing actions that add adjustment layers since CS4. In CS4 Adobe added the Adjustment palette panel in its Fly-out menu Adobe has two options that change Photoshop default behavior of how Adjustment layers are added. Actions, Scripts and Plugin can not query these option or set them. Therefore adjustment layers may be added differently then how the automation is designed to work if these options are changed from their Adobe Default settings.
However adjustment layers are not always added the way these options are set. If there is an active selection active when and adjustment layer is added Photoshop will add a layer mask. It make no difference how the option is set. A layer mask will be included when there is an active selection. Also If you record adding the adjustment layer using the menu layer>new adjustment layer>type And in the New Adjustment Layer dialog you check clip to previous layer the layer will always be added clipped it makes no difference how the option is set. The adjustment layer will be added clipped when the box is checked the option is recorded into the action step. So it is possible to record actions and write scripts the work a known was and can be changes after the adjustment layer is added. However the does not help old recorded or even new actions that were or are being recorded in a more natural way. It is best to just forget these options exist and lean them at the default setting. That way Photoshop behaves as it historically work. .

Captivate 5 Not recording actions in Automatic mode but records in FMR

Hi, I am trying to create a software simulation of SharePoint. The users need to be shown how to edit pages, profiles, etc. I am running Captivate 5 as administrator. The operating system is Windows 7. The problem is when I record the actions in Automatic mode, some of the actions are not captured; for example when chosing a profile picture from an explorer window, clicking Save and Close button on the edit profile page. However, when I record these same actions in FMR, everything is captured. Now that it adds extra work for me to insert captions in the FMR, wanted to check why Captivate is not capturing all the actions in Automatic Demo mode. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Hareesh

In order for Captivate to perform an automatic capture it has to 'hear' the screen event, e.g. a button click, load of a dialog box, drop-down menu etc. Some software advertises these events well, others don't. In almost all software you'll typically need to do SOME manual captures, and for some software you'll need to do lots. Sounds like SharePoint might fall into the latter category.

TROUBLE WITH ACTIONS IN CS5.5

I JUST UPGRADED TO CS5.5 FROM CS3. I HAVE ACTIONS I CREATED IN CS3 THAT DO NOT WORK IN CS5.5 AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS WHY.
THE ACTION I HAVE IN CS3...
STEP 1: SELECT ALL
STEP 2: CHANGE X VALUE TO 1.4375 (IN TRANSFORM PANEL)
STEP 3: CHANGE Y VALUE TO .762 (IN TRANSFORM PANEL)
THAT'S IT! IT'S A SIMPLE ONE THAT CENTERS ALL ART ON MY TEMPLATE. WHEN I USE THE SAME ACTION IN CS5.5 IT DOESN'T WORK. IT JUST MOVES IT TO RANDOM PLACES. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY??
I AM ON A PC, WINDOWS XP

I'm having a similar problem, seems related, but I don't understand the issue.
I have an object, with a center of 0,0.
I am using the transform box to move this to 2,0. I then make a copy of this, and move this copy to 4,0
When playing this recorded action back, it does not repeat my results.
Would you happen to know why this is occuring?
Regards,
Ry

Actions in CS5.1

Heya, I'm trying to edit an action. I'm trying to change how I move something. I'm using a mac, I've tried clicking on the specific item in the action and hitting record; NO JOY.
I've tried selecting 'record again', but NO JOY. When I click on 'record again', it quickly goes to reord, then out of record and then it's back to normal as if it wasn't recording.
I've put in a lot of work on this action it's a shame.
The action itself, is placing an image as a watermark, then moving it down and centre, slightly editing the image with effects, then finally flattening the image. Auto colour tone etc.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Precise Formwork wrote:
Thanks Conroy,
Ideally I'd like the watermark approximately 2/3 at the bottom, or maybe even 3/4.
That can easily be done in an action. The impotrant thing to know is Photoshop can align layers to 9 spots in a selection. It does not matter if what is being aligned is smaller or larger then the actual selection. I align images that are larger then the selection to the center of the selected area then mask the layer with the selection to to virtualy crop the layer to the selection in collagesg like this one.
Note the shape of the center image.
So to do a percentage is easy but you need to be a deviate like myself. First you need to make the selection that is lets go with 75% 3/4 the canvas size centered.. A little tricky but easy record this in an action. First add a new empty layer. Then use the rectangle selection tool .In the option bar set to fixed size mode and set the width and height to 75% then click in the top left cornor of the cancas to make the selection. Then use edit fill and fill with black. This will fill a area 75% wide and high in the empty layer added. Then do select all and the use menu Layer>Align Layers to selection>Vertical center then Layer>Align Layers to Selection>Horizontal center. The added 75% black work layer will now be centered in the center of the canvas. Next record select the current layers tranparency Ctrl+click the current black layer in the laters palette, You now have the selection needed. The Current work layer is no longer needed so delete it. When you do the the logo layer under it becomes the current target again. Use menu Layer>Align layers to selection>bottom edges and then Later>Align Layers to selection>Right Edges. The logo's botton right boundry is now 75% to the Canvas's right and 75% down the canvas's height.
Note Conroy point out and importaint thing in his append. Set the Ruler units. While you do not need to record the actual setting of the ruiler units in the actual action for that would change a users preference on then if recorded. It is very important to have the Ruler units set correctly when recording some action steps. Steps like Transform and move record setting based on the current ruler units setting. Absolute value Pixels or relative values like inches relative to documents resolution DPI or relative by a percentage of documents width and height.
Same images landscape images used in a collage template designed for portrait images. Note how the landscape images were resized aligned and virtually cropped

How to I record an Action to Save As that doesn't include a file name??

Hi -
I have an Action that will crop and scale a PDF file then Save As a JPG to a destination folder. The problem is that when I recorded the Action I did so with a file named ABC.PDF and Saved it as ABC.JPG - and now every file saved with this
Action is named ABC.JPG
This makes it impossible to use with a bunch of different files. One file gets overwritten multiple times with the same name. The file name ABC.JPG is "burned" into the Action.
SO - how do I record an Action to Save As without including a file name??
TIA your help on this crazy problem -
Josh
CS5 on Windows7

PeterK - thanks for the reply. I tried that already - initially actually.
I even tried blanking out the field so I would save a file with NO name. PSD added it's own .jpg and saved it like that. Every file after that over wrote that one too so after using the Action on 6 files I still only had one ".jpg" in the folder.
I was hoping that there was a setting or preference somewhere. SInce this is Windows might it be OS related?

Low levels when recording?

Using a 1212m, recording from 1/4" line-in or from Host wave (ASIO 1/2), when the Patchmix Strip & Main Mix levels appear to be set just right, the recording software (SoundForge 9c or Cubase LE) shows peaks of only about 5dB. Is this normal? If I record at this level can I just Normalize afterward without distortion? It seems that clipping levels anywhere in the path would not be good, but I'd like to record the best quality signal possible. Any suggestions are appreciated.
By the way, are there any Plug-ins that allow Auto Levels in recording software?

>> May not be the same with Sigmatel audio, but with Realtek in XP, you have to have both the master volume and the wave volume up in the playback mixer. Have you tried adjusting the Wave level control? <<
Yes. For output volume, only the wave volume affects levels in Audition so I set it to maximum. The master volume changes loudness of the speakers but does not affect Audition's record levels per Audition's level meters.
For record volume, the "Line-in" slider affects audition level meters. I adjusted this to maximum.
With both output (wave) and record (line-in) sliders set to maximum, Audition's record level meters still show a maximum of about -30 db. When playing the recording back using Audition, the hardware speaker's volume knob has to be turned WAY up to hear the song.
Thanks for your reply,

UFT (QTP 11.5) does not record Chrome

Hi
I have recently installed UFT (QTP11.5) and successfully recorded scripts against a web app running in IE8. However, I have issues with Firefox and Chrome:
Firefox v16:
Will record in what appears to be the Terminal mode ie will record mouse clicks on objects via coordinates and when entering text in a field it will simply record this as keyboard input.
Chrome v22:
Will not record anything at all. No objects or low level Terminal mode script is recorded.
Has anyone else seen this? Note: I have installed the GUI Testing Web Add-In and checked it was active on launching UFT.
Thanks

Loading Webpage is not recorded

Hello,
i like to record a configuration of a WebInterface. There are
many links and inputfield. But after i click a link in the browser
a new Webpage was displayed but it was not recorded in captivate.
After i type in a new inputfield - captivate display the current
page. Is there a option to make a realtime recording? Caputure
exact whats on the screen ?
Best regards
Christian

Hello Christian,
Welcome to the Captivate community. Are you trying to capture
screens in Mozilla Firefox or Opera? If so, you will need to press
the Print Screen key to get Captivate to capture the screen action
you require.
You can switch Captivate into Full Motion Recording mode
(Press F9 to Start and F10 to Stop) but I would not recommend it
for the following reasons:
1. Full Motion Recording is not designed to capture more than
a few minutes of video
2. You cannot edit any slides captured in FMR mode.
