Illustrator :: Why Does Layered File Open With Only One Layer

Oct 25, 2013

I am using CS6, as is the other user.  When they open the file in Illustrator all the artwork is on one layer, even though the original file has numerous layers, and opens with these layers when I open it even now.I have never come across this problem before in all the years I have used Illustrator and have had no joy when trying to search for this problem.

Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite 12 :: Create PNG File From Single Layer Of Multiple Layered File?

Apr 2, 2013

Our company does not have the funds to upgrade so we are stuck with CD12.  I am using using a windows 7 /64 bit machine.  I created this xml template for the writers to place place their graphics in our author software.

  I have 4 layers on my file  - grid.guide,desktop and template.  The template has the instructions and size dimensions.  I have them put all graphics on the high lited desktop layer then when this is complete turn off the template layer.  One can print this file with just the graphics showing with no problem.

However if I export this a PNG file both the template and desktop layers show up even though I turned off all layers.  I just want the desktop layer with the graphics to show up.  I have been using Adobe Illustrator for several years and this doesn't present a problem when saving the graphic as a PNG file.

Photoshop :: Open Multiple Images As One Layered File

Dec 16, 2007

I'm doing a gif animation in PS and have five pictures that I need to have as layers on the top of each other. At the moment I'm opening them and copy-pasting them on one of the images to make layers, but this is slow and sometimes confusing with all the images open at the same time.

Is there any way to just tell Photoshop to open all the files so that they are automatically stacked on the top of each other as layers?

Illustrator :: How To Create Color Separated Layered TIFF File

Oct 1, 2013

I need to create a color separated layered tiff file from my Illustrator document. I saved it as a color separated .ps file in hopes that I could then convert that to a tiff. My problem is that when I save the .ps file it saves the color separations, but in grayscale. Is there a way to convert an Illustrator file to a color separated tiff?

Photoshop :: Layered Files Not Open Correctly In CS5

Jul 10, 2012

I have been using Photoshop CS and have found it very easy to use and navigate and was looking very forward to getting CS5.

Anyway, I have been stumbling around CS5 for a few days now and opened up a template I created in CS. This template had 2 main layers - 1) was the case or card holder and 2) was the colour of the card backs. These are then opened up in Flash as part of the slideshow.

Now, the case layer had a number of filters mainly the bevel and emboss which remained static as this was the case. The colour of the case needs to change to reflect the colour of the actual case. Another issue as well, is where is the little icon at the bottom of the Actions/History palette gone that allows you to change these filters? I cannot find the Bevel filter in the Filters menu.

how I can open the older psd files in CS5 complete with the layers (is this something that has been dropped) and also tell me where the filter button on the Actions/History palette has gone?

Photoshop :: Can't Open Large Layered Pdf Files

Aug 28, 2008

I have a large 300 M layered pdf file that when I attempt to open eventually pops up the "not enough memory (RAM) message.

I am on a windows XP Power Spec computer with 1.97 GB RAM I have allocated 1106 MB for memory useage, 12 history states and 8 cache level.

I have a 187 GB Seagate exterior harddrive as my main scratch disk and a mirrored main drive C with 154 GB of free space as my second scratch disk.

I also experience a canvas disapearance occasionally when using the polygonnal lasso tool. I can be clicking along and all of the sudden the image disapears until I click again. Annoying but not unworkable.

Photoshop :: Layered File Smaller Than Unlayered File

Jun 22, 2012

I have been doing some tests to minimize file size. I thought it strange that a layered RGB 16-bit PSD file (one Curves layer) is smaller than the same file when flattened. Is that normal? Should that be the case?
 
I'm running CS6 on an Intel iMac under OSX 10.6.8.

Illustrator :: Layered Vector AI File With Raster (Photoshop) Layers Included As Vector Layers?

Apr 20, 2013

I've been using Illustrator since the late 80's but this request just now came up for the first time, twice in one day: the clients each want me to send them layered files (OK-no problem) wherein all the layers, even the raster layers, register as vector layers. Or at least all the layers, regardless of file-type (vector or raster) are contained within an unflattened Illustrator file. One of the clients specifically asked that the Type layer (No problem-all the type is on one layer) be  "vector mapped", whatever that means, while all the other layers can be Photoshop layers, if necessary.  So how do I hand them an open, unflattened Illustrator file containing both vector art and raster art? Can it be done in Acrobat, as a PDF? I'm working in AI and PS CS5, but I can and will upgrade if I have to.

Photoshop :: Put New File Into An Open File- In Its Own Layer

Apr 26, 2007

I have an open file - we'll call it the 1st file. I will add a background and some other images to it that are located in other psd files. But how? How do I get them in there?

I want to add 2 images, (don't worry about getting into selection and pixels, shadows, edges, etc. the complex stuff is easy LOL) Anyhow, I have another file that I open. How do I get that entire image(or file) into the 1st file - into it's own layer - so I can edit, position, and transform it etc. as I need.

make sense?

What if there's a 3rd image/file that I want to open and add to yet another layer.

Do I simply select the entire image and copy/paste it? I tried dragging it, knowing that would probably be futile. Anyhow, any and ALL advice on this surely simple procedure would be appreciated.

There are some files with at least 8 files that I want to bring together into one image. Same thing, do I cut and paste them, or is there another way?

All of these are psd files, btw. Would it make a difference if one was different, say a jpeg or tiff etc.

Illustrator :: How To Open Files As Layers In Open File

Mar 1, 2013

I'm working with both Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 on a mac. I'm creating a graphic. The background is a (cartoonish) mouth and I finished it a couple of days ago. (It's an Illustrator file.) I've been working on the letters to go inside of the mouth, (Once I'm finished it'll look as though they're being crushed.) I scanned and edited small wooden letters in Photoshop, and now I would like to work with them with the background in Illustrator. I understand how to open a Photoshop file in Illustrator, but I don't want to open the document as a separate Illustrator file. Is there a way to open a file from Photoshop as a second layer?
 
Some of the letters repeat as well. Will I have to create two files for this, or can I open the same file twice?

Photoshop :: Animated GIF In Layered File

Nov 19, 2012

I created a Photoshop file with text and background layers.  The client wants me to place an animated GIF in the center of the file.
 
How do I get all but 3 layers which comprise the animated GIF to not go into the animated gif timeline on the bottom of the screen.  I can only get this to work by turning off all the text and background layers.  I need the timeline to just have 3 layers in it and only those layers move.

Photoshop :: Saving Non-layered File As PDF?

Sep 6, 2013

Why is it that when I save a file that has many, many layers to a PDF without layers as a copy that the file size is larger than flattening the layers and then saving the file as a copy to PDF? 19Mb vs. 5Mb?? Wouldn't saving a file without layers be the same as flattening the layers and then saving the file??

Photoshop :: Making A Layered Psd File Out Of A Jpg

Feb 7, 2009

OK, I have an image of a webpage layout approx 800 x 1300 I need to convert this to a layered psd. I know I can take the image and use the pen tool and cut each slice and make them all layers which is nuts. I also know how to slice up an image in PS and save as images and slices and did that, now all those slices that PS saved for me I need to turn back into layers that will sit in a .psd follow? But I can't seem to find a tutorial anywhere on doing this. I'm in CS3 and maybe I have been working too hard but this is boggling my mind. I see thousands of ready for the web templates all in Photoshop layered .psd's how are these getting done?

Photoshop :: How To Save Layered PDD File As JPG?

Oct 3, 2008

[running Photoshop CS3 under Windows XP Pro/SP3 ]

I have a PSD file with about 14 layers. A few are hidden. I want to save as a jpg, so I go to file -> save as and save as a jpg file (the yellow alert icon shows next to "layers" in the save dialog). Yet the resulting jpg looks just fine. I've been doing this for years.

Today, support told me in case #180459305 that doing that would corrupt the jpg. They said that I need to first merge layers in the PSD file, then save as a jpg.

They also suggested that I post this question here. So here it is. Do I have to go through the extra step in manually flattening the PSD file (and potential pitfall of mistakenly saving it as a PSD and losing my layers forever)?

Paint.NET :: Nothing Will Open File (Multi-Layer JPG)?

May 5, 2013

I spent 5 hours on a graphic for my children's book. Saved it, interestingly enough, in Paint.NET as a multi-layer .jpeg, which I thought was fantastic as it had never worked before. Ahhh, and it isn't working now. Now I can't open the file. I've tried Paint.NET, MS Paint, GIMP, MS Picture Manager, Windows Picture Viewer, and Windows Media Center. Maybe other programs.

Photoshop :: How To Erase Elements From A Layered File

Mar 31, 2013

I took a time lapse of 240 photos of the highway below. What I want to do is create a background plate where all the cars are erased from the shot. The steps I've been doing are:

Open photos A & B in Photoshop (I'm using CS6)Drag photo B's background layer into A as a new layer and line up with A using 50% opacity and eyeballing it (is there an easier way to do this? the photos need to match exactly)Start erasing in obvious areas from layer BMerge Layers when there's nothing else to erase Repeat 1-4 with a new photo.  

I don't think I'm doing this right though, because the baseline photo always has cars I can't erase. I can do the reverse, and take photo A into another B photo, but it just feels like the way I'm doing this is wrong.
 
Is there a cleaner, more precise way to do this? If I've added a layer with no cars on top of the background layer, shouldn't I be able to erase the cars from the background layer?

Premiere Pro :: Not Getting The Import Layered File Dialog

When I try to import a layered AI file, I don't get the "Import Layered File" dialog as I do with the PSD files; I get a flattened image. Is this a setting I've overlooked or is this STILL not a feature?

Photoshop :: Vector Mapped Layer In Open File?

Apr 23, 2013

A client has asked me to send a file with the type on a separate layer which he refers to as "vector mapped". I know that I can lay in an AI type layer and save the file as an open .PSD file, or lay it in as a vector smart object and send it as an open TIFF file (along with the original AI file), but the client is using CS2 and can't deal with VSOs. The way around it, of course, is via a layered AI file with a placed image, but what is he referring to with hte term "vector map"?

GIMP :: Move A Text Layer From One Open File To Another

Mar 7, 2013

I am trying to move a text layer from one open file to another. I left-click on a text layer in one file and drag it to the tab of the other file. It seems to be successful, but there is no layer added to the other file.

If I try copy and paste then there will be another layer in the other file that I have to anchor or set as a new layer. If I anchor it then it becomes a part of the default layer. If I set it as a new layer then there is some sort of success, but I can’t edit it with the text tool as I can if I copy it within the same file.

Is it not possible to copy text layers between open files and continue to edit it with the text tool?

Paint.NET :: Save Layered Image As APNG File?

Oct 23, 2013

I used to be able to save a layered image as an .apng file [and set the delay time etc], which I would then convert to a gif using apng2gif. I found that the quality was turned out better than the other ways I've used to try and make gifs, and it seemed easier.
 
Anyway the other day I had to format my laptop and as a result all the programs were uninstalled. When I re-installed Paint.net I found that I couldn't save images as .apng anymore.
 
As far as I can remember the only changes I made to Paint.net were downloading some pyrochild effects.
