I'm trying to create an action which places my logo layer on the image in the corner. I have used the Align menu commands in the action, which aligns it to the edge. However, I would like to nudge the layer a few pixels in so that it's not completely at the edge. No matter what I try, I can't get the nudge events to get recorded into the action.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to make an action where you could open a lot of photos and they would all be up in full screen mode at 100%.
But when I click record nothing happens. I select full screen mode, 100% -- wont record to the action.
I made an action that I have to use for many images. The action creates an image, saves it, then closes it. The problem is when I try to run the action, it saves over the previous image. Instead of making new files, it just saves over the same one over and over. Is there a way to make it automatically save in succession?? (image001, image002, image003, etc.).

But photoshop doesn't record anything when i click on the brush mode setting (it does record the brush when i click on it in the tool bar) Tools like the color picker also do not record, so the problem goed farther then just the brush mode setting.
I'm running Photoshop CC on a Wacom Cintiq Companion on Windows8.
I created an action:
I have a bunch of PSD files of some pretty expensive rings that were shot at hi-res and cropped.
Now, i have a canvas that is 996x1104 px.
All of these rings must sized to 540px width AND positioned on the canvas at x:498px and y:706 (the bottom of the layer must touch 706px, which I did by clicking on the little tiny box at the bottom of the little square made of little squares (that's next to the x and y positions when you are on Transform mode).
I made an action for all of these steps.
However, when I batch a group of these hi-res ring PSDs and apply the action, they are always in different spots. They all need to be set on y:706px so it looks like they are all resting on the same plane.
I found out why this is happening:
because when I position the ring when creating the action, Photoshop records HOW MUCH in pixels I moved the layer... NOT WHERE ON THE CANVAS IT'S POSITIONED.
This is what I need: to have Photoshop record WHERE on the canvas the layer is positioned.
I'm working in Cs5 and I need to speed up my working process. So I have about 2000 images that I wanna print. I'm going to print them on A3 and on each A3 page I want to have 21 images. So it's a very simple process of just minimizing the pictures and putting them side by side, but almost 2000 pictures.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to record an action for a simple white frame, to add to some photo. the way I do it, is first change the background layer to a layer 0, then (image/canvas size then put it at 5% relative, then control click the layer thumbnail to select the picture only, then (edit/stroke...width 20%...color white... location outside, (select/deselect, and I go to the layer blending mode to add a drop shadow. finaly save as jpg. stop recording.
But when I open the jpg file, the extention of the canvas is white and not transparent it show white. What can I do to have the canvas extention transparent as a jpg file ?
I am trying to record an action in Illustrator, and most steps work, except when I decide to create a new text layer, I select the type tool, type something into my document, and select another tool to complete the operation, nothing shows up in the action panel, it's as if Illustrator didn't see it. It works fine in Photoshop though.

I'm trying to record an Action in AI that, when editing text,
(1) goes to the end of the current line ([End]),
(2) goes to the beginning of the current line while selecting the text ([Shift]+[Home]),
(3) applies a swatch,
(4) moves down three lines ([Down], [Down], [Down]), etc.
When I record this in an action, only the Apply Swatch command appears in the Action. Is this just how-it-is or is there a way to record text navigation in an action?
I recently found GIMP and think it is amazing. I've been a PhotoShop user for years, and actually prefer GIMP. The one thing I can't seem to figure out is holding me back from using GIMP exclusively, and that is the Record Action feature. I have to manipulate about 100 pictures per day - simply resize a picture to 6x4" @ 300 dpi, save it, resize again at 100 dpi, put a 10 pixel; black border around it and save it to another directory. I can do this to a hundered picitures in about a minute with PhotoShop, but it takes quite a while with GIMP.

1. Select the object
2. Copy and Paste in Front
3. Select > Object > Direction Handles
4. Cmd+X (Cut); do not deselect
5. Object > Path > Average: choose both axes
6. View > Guides > Make Guides
All is good & well except that step 5 never gets recorded as an action step.
When I record a save for web action that exports my artboard in 3 file sizes. 100%, 200% and 400% it works for the first few files.
Then suddenly after a while the first export changes its width and height from 100% to 111%, but not just 111% width and height equally. No it pulls it out of proportion too.
When I manually enter 100% again it all pops back to the correct aspect ration.The 200% and 400% still behave as expected.
If I rerecord it it starts working again. But that defeats the purpose.
is there a way to record a script? i mean like an action for example click and select a tool , the hand tool , and let photoshop write the script (that have the command to select the hand tool) or is there a tool to convert an action to a script?
View 7 Replies View Relatedway to change the number of pixels that you can move when you are nudging an object. The Help just says you can use arrow keys to nudge one pixel and the arrow key and the Shift key to nudge it 10 pixels.
I would like to be able to adjust it to less than one pixel is it possible.
Is there a way to nudge a guide?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have moved my layers around all the time with my arrow keyes... you know, a nudge. Today, Photoshop says that I can't nudge... it says "Could not nudge the selection because the pixels in a type layer cannot be modified without first rasterizing the layer."
I've never had to rasterize it before... is there a setting I accidentally hit?
It's hard making very tiny adjustments to the rotation of a pic using a mouse and if I have to zoom in, I can not see the whole pic in order to rotate it to. Is there a way, so that once it is in free transform or when you grab the corners to rotate it, that it goes in smaller increments or how do you nudge rotate it.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm using the trial version of Elements 11 to see if I should downgrade from an old version of Photoshop. I'm running into two problems:
1) when I re-size an image, it doesn't show pixels in the drop-down box under Document Size, and
2) if I manually re-size an image, I can't get the move tool to nudge it into position.
After I move an image or line of type to where I want it on a Photoshop CS5.1 layer, it moves an extra pixel. It is incredibly annoying and want it to stop before I start screaming. I've turned off all "Snap" and "Snap To" menu items.

How I could go about doing so or is it not possible?
I just bought CS6 and upgraded to Mac 10.8.3. I don't know which is the culprit, but my arrows in Ilustrator will no longer nudge anything.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm aware that when using "pixel mode" at a certain zoom level Draw Ignores your settings for "nudge" and does it's own thing. (I think it's when the pixel grid appears and in my case this is at 800%) However, I've found a "feature" which seems like a mistake.
In large zooms in pixel mode objects move 0.5 pixels with the arrow keys, however when using the node edit tool your setting applies.
Personally I'd prefer Draw to always use the settings that you specify but I was told that the change of setting at large zoom levels was intentional - if this is true why do my nodes move differently to objects? This inconsistency can't be "intended"?
I wonder what we can do with nudge offset and duplicate distance controls as indicated with a in the photo attached below.
