Working with  multiple layers in CS 3 ?

In order to work with multiple layers in cs3, I first need to open few images to work with,and when I open few images it only shows last image that I opened.Frist images can't be seen in workspace, and when I open new document I can't see not even one photo I opened?

try tapping the F key a few times until you get to the screen mode that allows you to see all image windows.

  • Any way to work with multiple layers once map is mapped to a sphere?

    I'm working on a history documentary about World War II and I have a map of the world divided into colonial empires. Each empire is a separate layer. I know how to take the world map and apply it to a sphere in Photoshop CS4 Extended.
    The problem is that after this all my layers disappear and I'm left with a single layer.
    I want to fade in the empires' opacity levels as the globe revolves.
    How can I do this if putting the map on the sphere collapses all the layers into one?
    Also, how do you turn off the shadow on the sphere? I want it the same level of brightness everywhere on the planet.
    Thank you very much in advance for any helpful suggestions.

    Hi Nick,
    I think you have figured out that if you want a texture map to contain layers, you need to either group the layers (and select the group), or just select all of them before selecting the 'New Shape From Layer>' command. The result difusse map will have a single name, but if you open it you will see that it has layers intact.
    Fading opacity or any other keyframe attribute of a texture while the 3d model is also being animated, is a new feature to CS4. You need to open the texture and animate it so you have an animated texture applied to an animated object. I have added a quick lo-fi 4 sec. sample of what I think you're trying to accomplish. I'll attach the source PSD, so you can take a look at how I set it up.
    Basically, I took your flat png file an added some layers for the country selections so I could fade them in/out. Then I animated them to fade using the layer opacity (100% keyframe at start, 0% keyframe at finish, or vied versa). I then selected all the layers and 3D> New Shape from Layer> Sphere. Now I went about animating the revolving of the sphere using 3D object position for keyframing (I went from z: -180, to 0, to +180, but you can play around with that. I'm not expert with the animation to know what works best for smooth transitions and looping if desired). The animation from the texture should 'play' at the same time as the animation of the sphere, you just need to sync the timelines when setting keyframes.
    For even lighting on the sphere, you can approach it a few ways. Your best bet in this case is to go to 3D> Render Settings... and select 'Unlit' Texture' from the Face Style pop up menu. You can also remove all the lights using the 3D panel (select a light in the top half and then click the trash can icon at the bottom), and then change the Global Ambient color to White (found in 3D panel with 'Scene' selected). You could also try adding infinite lights at all the six camera views.
    Cheers,

  • Maintain performance while working with multiple shape layers (~50 )

    Hey guys, I've been working on some projects lately where I need to animate a lot of shape layers cascading, arraying, with various animation properties. When I get to the point of using 30-60 or so shape layers, and they're all doing some kind of scale, position, etc. animations, my computer slows to a complete crawl. This then forces me into using a single shape layer and the repeater functions. These can work well sometimes, and don't hamstring the flexibility too much, UNTIL you need to incorporate varying colors. At that point, I usually switch my shape layers to masks and place a layer below with varying colors as needed. The shape animations then reveal those colors, but this doesn't work for a complex object that in itself requires many colors. Sooo...
    What kind of workflows do you all have for working with multiple semi-complex objects at once? I figure I must be missing something, because this has gotten really limiting. Is everyone just working with 256GB of RAM?
    FYI, my computer specs are:
    2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
    ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
    OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    Thanks!!

    Pre-comping can speed up your previews if you are using disk cache, but nothing will speed up  your first ram preview or a ram preview after a keyframe change except a better optimized system. All it takes to slow things down is one effect or a footage file that causes AE to start consuming memory and processor power.
    As a test I just created a gradient filled rectangle, added rotation keyframes, duplicated the layer so I have 64 copies on my Mac Mini and tried a ram preview compared with the same comp with only 1 layer. Almost no difference in the time it took to preview 10 seconds. Threw in a scale transform for all layers and again, not much difference between one shape layer and 64. To make things much harder I change the rectangle to a Polystar and animated everything in the Polystart transform properties, set up a composition with 128 duplicates and a comp with one layer. 2.5 seconds for a ram preview at quarter rez for a single layer, 10 seconds for a ram preview for 128 layers. That's more than acceptable to me for a two year old Mac Mini with 16 gb of ram. Increasing the zoom factor to 50% with Resolution set to Auto doubled the ram preview time which was still acceptable.
    This makes me wonder what else is going on in your composition. Any effects or other things going on? Have you optimized your system for maximum performance? There are links with suggestions for doing that all over this site as well as the Adobe recommendations found here: Optimizing After Effects Performance

  • When working with multiple artboards, are there separate layers panels for each artboard?

    Just started working with multiple artboards in ai but have read nothing about the layers panel, whether you use one layers panel for all the artboards or if the layers panel is duplicated so there is one for each artboard.

    I don't really understand your problem, but I've had headaches with managing a GUI before (as many programmers have, I'm sure).
    My best advice, if the scheme your using to build and manage a GUI is too confusing for you, the programmer, to easily understand/manage, change the scheme. Even if this means recoding a good deal of your program (though, hopefully, you've kept the GUI as seperate from your functional code as possible) it should be worth it.
    Perhaps a clearer explination of your problem would help better illustrate your problem?

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
    more path shortcuts:

  • Working with Multiple Files in Workspace Layout

    If I was working with multiple files in the workspace layout, they each used to be available for selection from a tab.  Now I can either cascade the files horizontally or vertically - but not have them appear in a tab across the top of the workspace layout.
    Does anyone know how to set the workspace to present multiple files in tabs?  I have CS3.

    Tanya,
    This may not help, but the times when that happens to me is when I go too fast and some operations haven't finished. I then try to select a file that hasn't completed and the file I select is in the process of having the data updated. The worst is when it is trying to render as I am doing something.
    I hope this helps some.

  • Problem when working with multiple sequences

    Dears,
    In order to make life easier (I am currently working on a rather long project), I work with multiple sequences, one per chapter.
    My problem: I named one sequence "assembly sequences" in order to add the various sequences. I dropped the sequence no 1, then no 2. All works fine, beside that when playing the sequence no 2, I see two black lines on top and bottom of the screen for the all length of the sequence. Which is not the case when I click on the sequence itself and play it independently.
    Any idea how to solve this ?
    Thanks
    Nic

    Thanks, what happened is that :
    1st sequence is like this : Frame size 720x576 pixels, video rate 25fps, Compressor DV-Pal. And I think it is the one appropriate for me and my country.
    2nd sequence is like this : Frame size 720x480 pixels,
    video rate 29.97 fps, Compressor DV-DVPRO-NTSC.
    I think I should change the second sequence setting, but can I do it after all the work I have done, and continue making a 3rd, 4th and so on ?
    Tx for your precious help,
    Nicolas

  • Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out vertically in a stack on one page?

    Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out in a stack on one page?

    Hi ,  
      This is a sort of performance issue , because your program takes more than the max time set for the program to execute in foreground.
    There are many stuff in program which will hamper your performance.
    I will list down a few
    1. SELECT *
    FROM konp
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE konp_itab
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN a363_itab
    WHERE knumh EQ a363_itab-knumh
    in this statement you are using for all entries a363_itab , but before this statement you are not checking if the table has any entry or not , please do remember that for all entries has this characterstic , that if you internal table does not contain any record , then all the records are selected from the database table. So in this case if you table a363_itab is empty , so what you want is no data must be seelcted from table konp , but what will happen is all the records in KONP will be seelcted.
    2. While retreiving data you are using seelct * even though you do not require all the fields , an example is
    <b>SELECT *
    FROM mkpf
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE mkpf_itab
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN mseg_itab
    WHERE mblnr EQ mseg_itab-mblnr.</b>
    in this your internal table contains only 2 fields
    <b>mblnr LIKE mkpf-mblnr, "Number of Material Document
    bldat LIKE mkpf-bldat, "Document Date in Document</b> , but to get these 2 fields you are selecting all the fields of the table.
    3. In select you are using into corresponding fields of table , it is not a good practice., so please avoidd it.
    Please understand that you must try to reduce the access to your database tables and try to keep it minimal , because this same thing may happen becasue data in DEV is very less compared to the volume of data in production , so a program working in DEV will take much more time in PRD if not written properly and may result in timeouts , as in your case.
    Please try to make chanegs to the prorgam and see if it works.
    In case you have more queries , please do revert back.
    Regards
    Arun

  • Trouble converting HTML with multiple layers to PDF

    Acrobat has a great feature where you can convert a webpage with multiple layers into a multi-page PDF. I've run into a couple example web pages that are giving me problems:
    1) Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies
    https://doraimage.state.co.us/LibertyIMS::/sidr6B2n5OW4s40hEk6/Cmd%3D%24%24DF63GVEbxAIjDRp jm%3BGPZ1%3D%23k2I
    I try to convert a page with 28 links to PDF's that are multi-page PDF's, but it looks like all of the pages start importing into acrobat out of order. I get page 1, page 2, then it jumps to page 6, etc... What am I doing wrong or is it something with how the site is storing the images on the server?
    2) Indiana License Litigation
    http://www.in.gov/apps/pla/litigation/
    I'm unable to select a profession/board type from a drop down menu and successfully convert the pages contained therein from HTML to PDF. Does the 'convert multple layers' feature of acrobat not support pages that are built as a "dropdown database" type search?
    Thanks!

    you can use this html to pdf solution to convert multiple html layers to the same pdf

  • Import Illustrator File with multiple layers and sublayers as composition retaining all layers and sublayers

    I have drawn a country map with multiple layers and sublayers including streets, cities, rail lines, ...
    Now I want to create a template for my collegues in After Effects.
    For this I want to import the .ai file into After Effects retaining all sublayers and layers in compositions and subcompositions.
    When I do that, I get the first couple of layers correctly, the other ones comes in one merged composition.
    What can I do, to get all layers each as a layer in After Effects?
    Yours, Raphael

    Illustrator only imports the first level of layers. If you have groups or paths below you need to release the groups to layers. The layers will then be stacked in order as sub layers. Then you need to move them up.
    The steps are to select a layer in the Illustrator layer panel, then without selecting any specific element in the layer click on the menu in the top right corner and select release to layers. All a elements in that layer will be converted to layers. Now select them all and drag them up above the original layer. This will leave the original layer empty and put all elements in new layers.
    Here's a tutorial I did a zillion years ago which uses this technique to turn a blend into a morph.

  • Print to pdf often doesn't work with multiple pages?

    When I try to print to pdf, it often doesn't work right.
    I can select, for example, multiple Excel worksheets to print. It looks fine with 4 pages in Preview, but when I select save as .pdf, it only prints 2 of the 4 pages, and it prints those in 2 separate documents rather than a single .pdf document with multiple pages.
    Is there a way to do this? Is this an Apple error or Microsoft error? Since it looks fine in Preview, my guess it is an Apple error?
    Mark

    It sounds like this is the problem with the way Apple handles multiple orientations in a pdf document. You can use Acrobat to print the files - it handles multiple orientations correctly. There was a previous thread on this:

  • Working with multiple audio tracks

    Hello,
    I'm working with video clips that have a stereo audio track (guide audio fed into the camera) synch'ed to 4 mono tracks (recorded from a variety of boom mics and lavaliers).
    Although I've linked all the audio clips to the video, it still gets a bit cumbersome when performing T or L cuts. When I hold down the Option key, I still have to adjust each of the audio track separately.
    Is there a more efficient way to deal with multiple audio tracks? Maybe some way to treat these audio tracks as one unit?
    BTW I'm working in FCP 7.
    Thanks,
    Thien

    One way:
    Lock the video track.
    Use the Edit Selection Tool to Select the audio transition points
    This will automatically open the Trim window, where you can move the cut point - in this case I am moving the audio cut(s) 30 frames later than the video cut:
    which gives me the displacement of all the tracks that I wanted:
    You can use this quite quickly once you get used to it.
