Photoshop :: CC Doesn't Play Curve Point Changes Back In Recorded Actions (Mac)?
Jun 25, 2013
I've just 'upgraded' to CC, and noticed that actions that alter Curves adjustment layers do not play back correctly.The Action itself contains the correct steps ... here's an example.. but it refuses to play this type of step in any Action, giving me the default, flat curve, thus ...I've an extensive set of Actions of this type for photo-processing: I take it that these are now pretty useless in PSD CC?
I lost a hard drive.....so I re-installed CS5 and updated it.....and now I would like to go back and retrieve my recorded actions from somewhere in the PS files on the old hard drive. I have access to the files.
I'm working with a file that has multiple layers that with almost exactly the same content.
The subject (car) just changes colors.
Let's say that there is a spot I want to clone out on each layer, (shown above as a black smudge) but when I do, the results are somewhat different every time. I'm looking for consistency.
Is there a way in CS6 to create a Tool Recorded Action to sample an area on a layer, clone out the ugly, then repeat the process on the layer below?
*The goal here is to sample an area initiated on Layer A (Yellow) and clone out an area on Layer A (Yellow)...
..then use the action to sample the exact same area, but this time sampled from Layer B (Orange) to clone out that same area on Layer B (Orange).
I want to get the same results on every layer so the look on every color is uniform.
I almost got it to work, but my problem occurs when I look at the details of the action.
If I could duplicate the steps and change the "Source: layer" to the layer name below, that might do it.
Also I used the shortcut CTRL + [ to "Select backward layer". When I look a the details on this it says "Without Make Visible." Is there a way to do this WITH MAKE VISIBLE?
For photoshop, there's URL... (scroll down to "ActionFileToJavascript") which can convert recorded photoshop actions into jsx. Is there any such resource for Illustrator?
i am trying to create an Action in CS3 but some of my actions are not been recorded.
What i want to do is run the Batch option on a folder with a 1,000 PDFs in it. The PDFs (which were created in Illustrator CS3) consist of a single page with a single embedded image at the foot of the page. I am trying to update that embedded image. The Actions i am trying to record are...
1) Select the single image in the Links palette. 2) Choose the "Relink.." option in the drop down menu of the Links palette. 3) Navigate to the new image and select "Place". 4) Save and close document.
But the first two actions are not been recorded.
From trying this manually the new image seems to take on the horizontal and vertical scaling of the previous image which is what i want. But if i am going to have to do a script then that is a factor that may have to be incorporated into the script.
for some reason when i try to use an action i get the "don't" symbol. ( the one with the circle and a diagonal line ) how can i fix this? thanks, boyd.
All the loaded actions worked yesterday....none will play today. I can bring up yesterday's work and continue to work on the action run, however, when I closed that out and went to another project, I was unable to run any action loaded. I deleted the actions and re-entered turning off the computer after each action loaded. Still would not work. I finally uninstalled 11 and then re-installed it. Still no luck. Are ACTIONS suppose to be a preset folder? I don't have a preset Actions folder in my program files...not even after I re-installed.
My computer has PhotoShop CC installed on a brand new Dell Windows 7 computer. Previously I used CS4 and it worked great, but now I'm having issues with CC playing back any Action that has layer adjusments. I'll record an action consisting of an edited layer adjustment such as curves, levels, brightness/conrast, etc., and then when I play it back the layer adjustment applied is the default 0. For instance, here I clicked "Create New Action" and labeled it "Curves Layer TEST":
add a new curves layer adjustment and label it "Brighten":Then I add a few points to the curve (overly brightened to demonstrate my issue):
then I hit the Stop Recording button. But when I look at the curve values in the Actions box of the very curve layer I just recorded, it says the Preset Kind is Default. Why doesn't it say Custom??? The Properties box read "Custom" as I was editing the curve!
and nothing happens to the image. it now has a curves layer on top, but it's the Default straight line. What happened to the curve I edited and recorded!!??
What's the deal? This is the same process I used in CS4, CS2 and every other PhotoShop incarnation and it worked fine, until CC. Is this a bug? Or is there a new process to creating layer adjustment actions???
I am using Premiere CC to edit Pro Res 422 in a sequence using the ARRI Cinema 23.976 sequence preset. My rough cut sequence has lost all audio playback. I can play audio from the source, and in other sequences in the same project but this sequence specifically is not giving my ANY playback. In audio hardware, I have set output to built-in output and made sure that my system is set to the same thing as well. When I click into channel properties, right click>Modify Channel I see 4 audio tracks set to Source Channel 1, 2, 3, 4. All are set as "Ch.1" under Channel in track.
Is the vibrance slider in ACR and Lightroom doing essentially the same thing as manually shifting the tops and bottoms of the A and B curves in LAB color?It seems similar, but is the math actually the same?
The following didn't eventually cause me a problem since I have retained some earlier versions of VS. Normally, starting way back with VS version 8, I've happily downloaded avi files from my handicam, edited them and made nice home movies on DVD, worth watching even by non-family .
But now I've just been given a couple of mpeg-4 files (total time of 1 hr 20 min or so) to turn into a nicely edited DVD (it's an orchestral concert). If I insert the files into the timeline in either X5 and X6, the audio doesn't sound when I try to play either the project or the clip. Do the same with X4 and things work perfectly, audio comes through loud and clear. So I've used X4 for the task, I kept it on my computer.
An additional task was to make an audio CD - no sweat, I just created a sound file (in the "share" tab) with X4 and went from there. Trying to do the same with either X5 and X6 caused the software to crash with an error message.
I just installed Video Studio Pro x5. When I load a .avi video it doesn't play. When I click play after I imported the file, the screen is black. If I play the avi in windows it works. How to get it visible so I can edit it it in x5?
I made a complex video clip from .avi files with Corel Videostudio Pro X3, I saved the project then moved my original files to different folder. After some time I decided I want to edit my video again and re-linked the files successfully but now when I try to play my project in edit mode it doesn't play smoothly, it stops and delays. I can't edit in such conditions because I can't preview my work... Before moving my files everything was fine. No changes were made to my computer...
I have and element and what I'm trying to do when I click on this element, it starts to play reverse the timeline for 1 sec and after that it continues to playing the timeline from an other point.
In Premiere Pro CC, if I have previously set an in and out point in my source monitor, the spacebar plays clips from the in point only. I'd rather be able to move my CTI to any place in my clip, hit spacebar, and play from there but it always snaps to the in point and plays from there.
The play around shortcut is a joke because it doesn't play from the playhead location and loops at seemingly random intervals.
I really like Smoke, I've tried pre-release and I've noticed there is no realtime playback. I have pretty fast machine, MBP, 17, 1920x1200, SSD, 16Gb Ram, 2.3 Ghz (early 2011), AMD 1GB, but still it seems too slow for Smoke?
optimize it for laptops, because 50% of users siting on laptops.
i have cs6 64bit installed well may i ask some question about photoshop cc?
1) what i miss about photoshop CS5 , is the curve adjustament layer , i loved used the eyedropper + ctrl to add points in the curve is there in cc the possibility to add point in the curve like cs5?or can i set auto select target adjustament tool for curve palete only?
2) photoshop cc add some features 1) content aware in acr 2) a different resize dialog ( i don't know if it uses a new engine to resize) 3) anti shake photo filter i don't need it
i don't know anyother for photographers , i watched the adobe video but sadly i can not download it to watch slower ,english is not my mother language
3) last question well i have to pay for every months to get the update or to have photoshop working
i mean i need always to be connected to the net to use photoshop do i need sometime for example 2 or 3 times in week / month to be connected to the net to use photoshop or photoshop works after online activation with internet , and i need to pay every month to get updates?
I cannot work out how to consistently go from drawing a straight line to drawing a curve and then back again to a straight line....
The first two steps are fine, but when I go to the third step of trying to draw a straight line after a curve I am having problems, it does not seem to be consistent - I click on the last node which then displays the line next to the pen but if I try to click for a straight line - it makes a curve!
If I use the Alt key and click the node, this also sometimes works but not always and I can't for the life of me work out a way to get it to work in the same way all the time.
I replaced a failing hard drive with a new drive (same name) with a mirrored file & folder structure as the old drive and now all my PS6 actions and droplets cannot work because they can't find the drive and folder.
The new drive is named the same as the old one with the exact same file structure. Is there some way to point all my actions & droplets to this new drive?
how can i add an anchor point in the curve in the Channel R / G and B?
in cs5 , with ctrl + click i was able to click on the image and add an anchor point in the curve channel RGB and with shift +ctrl + click i was able to click on the image and add an anchor poing in the channel Red , 1 in the channel Green and 1 in the channel blue.
i know cs6 doesn't have any more ctrl+mouse click , there is the targeted adjustment tool. i can do it with ctrl+m and call the curve but i can't do it with curve adjustament tool
is there a way to add a anchor point in each channel red , green and blue (like the prev Photoshop)?
I noticed that if i draw a very short line (about 10 pixels or less) then cursor shifts back to starting point.
Tested on systems an drivers: Mac OS X 10.6.4 or 10.7.4 Driver 6.3.0 or 6.3.3-3 Photoshop CS 5 (12.0.4) Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.1) Mac OS X 10.8.2, Driver 6.3.3-3 and Photoshop 6 (13.0.1) - same problem.
I have three Intuos 5 tablets for now and all have this bug so this is not a hardware problem i think. Corel Painter 12 - all good.
When I import a short AVCHD or MPG (~ 1 min., 100 mb) into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, it plays great. When I import the same file into Photoshop CS6 on the same computer, it's jerky, even with sound off, frame skipping enabled, cached, and no other applications running.

What changed between acad lt 2007 and acad lt 2012. Cannot draw a simple 2 point spline curve in 2012. how I do it? Is it a sys variable changed somewhere?
Dim Zinters As Object = DuvarObj.IntersectWith(MainObj, AcExtendOption.acExtendNone)
then pass the intersection points pt1 and pt2 to managed code to get length of the curve between two intersection points , but I realized that sometimes decimal numbers maybe 10th after comma is different than the curve's start or end points. And so the code below throws error, since point pt1 or pt2 is not exactly on the curve, but they are the intersection points excatly.
What can I do?
Dim dist1 As Double = ent.GetDistanceAtParameter(ent.GetParameterAtPoint(pt1))Dim dist2 As Double = ent.GetDistanceAtParameter(ent.GetParameterAtPoint(pt2))
Spline curve command has changed. This is terrible as I used to use simple line types to show different things on my drawings that was rapid fast with custom macros etc. Now the spline curve command does not work in same way costing me hours of time wasted. I have now resorted in saving all incoming drawings to older version and completing my drawings that way. Only problem is the new drawings are growing above the capabilities of my old machine.
How can I initiate the old std 2 point spline curve in the new software so it works the same way as old version?
