My Actions are now prompting for "OK" at every step along the way. Which means I have to press OK 4-5 times for each action. Whereas before it was just a one click process. I have reinstalled Photoshop and it is still happening. I am on PS 7 and on Windows 7.
View 2 RepliesI have somehow reversed the process of changing a sky in my photo so that when I get to the point of painting in the sky from the 2nd photo, it is painting with white (not black) that brings out the background I want on the original photo. Where have I gone wrong? Is there anywhere I can go to find a detailed step-by-step process for doing Layer Masks?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have CTR-Z mapped to step backward.
Using two different shortcuts for "undo" (one step back) and "Step Backward" (Multiple steps back) makes no sense to me. As such, I rarely use the regular undo, and do not have it mapped.
The case:
When I switch to a new layer, do a brush stroke and undo it, photoshop treats my undo as a switch back to the layer I came from. This happens a LOT, and not just to me, but to a lot of designers I know (I'm a GUI designer at a game company). Some of them have even formed a habit of "erasing" a bit in an empty part of the layer, just in case the'd later want to undo. That's bad.
My proposed solution:
-First undo my stroke, Leave my selected layer alone.
-On a NEXT press of "Step backward" change my current layer to the one I came from.
I have a Command Method which has a loop that opens and commits transactions until the user is finished with it and exits.Â
I would like each transaction to be undone separately but the undo command undoes the CommandMethod (along with all the transactions that occurred while in the loop)
Do I need to use the COM StartUndoMark and EndUndoMark to get this working?
I have Googled it. I have contacted Adobe and they say they no longer support CS5 - I have considered upgrading to CS6 but this version was already installed on my computer at work when I started the job and I can't find the box with the serial number in order to upgrade. I would love to just fix the plug in issue and keep using CS5.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've received a drawing from a client today and in it there are several text styles. One has Arial as its font. When this text style is current and we insert some dtext AutoCAD does not prompt for the text rotation angle, it uses the last rotation angle we used.
As far as I know there is no system variable that controls this behaviour, or have I missed it. Other delivered text styles do not have this problem.
I am opening photos and trying to save them as psds with different file names, and I have verified that it will overwrite files without asking. I can see the name of the previous file when I paste the Save As name. If I click on the old file first it will ask me, but not if I just paste the name. And if I type "Photo_op" and the old file is Photo_Op, it will take that name instead of keeping the lowercase.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a couple of actions from the web to my actions palette and they worked fine, but then I got greedy and downloaded a few more and that’s when things went south. Now none of the actions work - by not working I mean when I mouse over the Play Selection icon at the bottom of the action palette I get that little circle with a line through it. This happens with the PS default actions as well (I also get the circle on the Stop Playing/Recording and Begin Recording icons).
Somewhere in the following is probably what messed things up.
I downloaded actions to my computer in zip files. Copied them over to the actions folder (or somewhere) and unzipped them. I went back to the actions palette and hit “load actions” and loaded them. On the second set of actions that I downloaded I remember thinking “why am I copying and pasting these files - I bet I should cut and paste them, so I did and that may have been the start of the great crumble of 2004. PhotoShop help says: (under Saving and loading actions) “Actions are automatically saved the the Actions Palette folder in PS7.0 Settings folder. If this file is lost or removed, the actions you created are lost”.
I have searched for the settings folder and couldn’t find it, but the actions still show up on the actions palette - they just don’t run.
I’m a little fuzzy on the details on the above steps. In fact, I probably did something different on each download.
one more thing, I reloaded PhotoShop, but still nothing.
My computer crashed and I removed all apps and reinstalled so now none of my actions appear. However I do have a backup file of all of them and want to reinstall but before when I was using cs6 ( Im assuming same thing as CC as it was all on the subscription plan ) I would click actions then the right arrows and it would bring me a big screen of all the actions ( even the ones that were just preloaded in ps ) and it was a big box with all the actions and some options to record etc...Now that box isn't there and it's just a single column drop down menu.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI like to put my actions somewhere special on my hardrive, not in apps folder.
Now, in past, when I saved actions CS2 would "remember" where this folder was, making real easy to save.
Lately, it keep defaulting to save as in the app folder-- even though I did navigate to my special area on last save as.
In CS that I've just installed (yes, new to PS the ctrl-z only undo's 1 step backwards, what can I do to enable it to undo multiple times? Coming from PSP, you could undo for hundreds of steps....

I checked my keyboard shotcuts and the shortcut cmd-option-shift-t is not beign used as far as i can tell.
Imagine a normal brush, say 40 in size. if i stroke a bit fast, like normally drawing, and making round shapes, arcs, it isnt really curvy as it should.....it kinda gets some steps whn i stroke really fast...this doesnt happen in other progs....is thee a way i can make a round stroke be really round?...

I was hoping there was some automated way to do this. I don't think I could find it in the actions palate.
I was able to see each step of my actions I've bought. It was great, I could turn off certain steps or decrease them.

I have recently started using AutoCAD 3D Plant 2011.
I am trying to create a catalog of Valves that we use on site by getting all the 3D blocks from suppliers. A few of our suppliers are sending me STEP files.
What program these are from and if they can be converted to a format that can be used by AutoCAD?
I am trying to insert some valves into my drawing and they have been provided in *.stp or step format by the manufacturer. You can import them to civil 3d using IMPORT, but in Civil 3d the import dialogue does not have step files as an option under the file type drop down.
I am running Civil 3d 2012, and I am unable to install any software for a conversion due to our software restriction policies.
I tried a lot of sample (mostly from spidernet) using EntityJig. My problem is always the same: I can't walk through "protected override SamplerStatus Sampler" method by single step debugging. If a Break Point inside this overritten method is reached, a new tab "No source available" is shown and debugging stops.
AutoCAD 2013, Visual Studio 2013, c#
Same with protected override bool Update().
I have a STEP file which was made with SolidWorks that I need to get into Max.
The file contains a fair amount of duplicate objects, like 10 highly detailed motors that are used, etc. When I imported the file into Max, I begin experiencing momentary periods of time where max become unusable. I believe this is happening during my auto-saves. So I checked my Max file, it's over 250 MB.
I know the problem is all the duplicated geometry, so how can I tell max, "these two things are the same." Without going through the painstaking task of actually recreating instanced geometry?
I am having issues with the 3D Extrude & Bevel Effect. Lines appear at each blending step, and there are missing sections that move around the graphic based on rotation. I did reduce the blending steps to keep them small enough for everyone to quickly view them, but the problem happens regardless. The outline view is below to show the actual build of the vectors.

How do i export a .iam to STEP or STP or IGES without the three being expordted? i dont want the costumers to be able to see the anything in the three but 1 file (base1 or something).
What i do today is, i make a new part and derive the .iam file and then export it to step but this is getting hard to do when you have many .iam files.
