Photoshop :: CS4 Printing In An Action Creates A...

Nov 29, 2008

I have CS4 on a Windows platform, as a trial. I wanted to see if the printing issues that keep me from using CS3 in production were solved before I bought it.

Pretty much right out of the chute, I ran into problems. I use actions to get photos formatted to print. The action at the end, it calls Print (in CS2 was called Print with Preview). This Print step is done with modal control to allow different printers or settings to selected.

This action works fine in CS2 and in CS3. In CS4, the print comes out as a negative image. I have deleted the step from the action and re-recorded it in CS4, still comes out as an negative. Interestingly, if I use a CS2 Print command (not the new Print Preview version) in the action, then it works fine. The problem is extremely repeatable in different action or to different printers. If I disable the print step in the action and just print it without the action, it works fine.

Photoshop :: Action To Creates New Layers On Top Of Smart Object

Sep 17, 2012

If an image is opened from ACR normally, the base layer will be named "Background".  If an image is opened as a Smart Object, the base layer will be named as the filename of the image.
 
If an action is programmed that creates new layers on top of the Smart Object then selects the base layer, the step in the action will be 'Select _MG_ 1234' or whatever the name of the image file is.  If you try to run that action on a different image file, an error message will pop up at the step where the base layer is selected indicating that the file is not available because the action is pointing to a specific image file name. 
 
How does one go about making an action with smart objects generic so that it will run on any image file?

Photoshop :: PS CS4 GPF When Printing From An Action

Mar 9, 2009

I have two printers, so when I'm batch printing I run an action which I recorded, one step of which does a Print Setup to select the correct (normally non-default) printer.

If I've done this manually once then all is well, but if I forget to do it then Photoshop will GPF when I run the action.

Photoshop :: Printing 2000 Images On 100 A3 / Record Action?

Nov 6, 2013

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.

Photoshop :: Batch Bulk Print Action Printing Out Of Order

Dec 3, 2012

I have 900 files I need to print out. I created an action that simply prints the current document, then closes it. The problem is, photoshop is printing the files out in random order. The files are numerically ordered, it should print in order.
 
I go to File -> Automate -> Batch and select the printing action that I recorded and set the folder that contains the image files. The image files are all labeled numerically from the data set merge I did within photoshop.
 
The problem is, even though this list is in numerical order, photoshop will print these out in random order. For example, the file folder containing the image files is listed below in correct order.
 
Instead photoshop printed them in this order: CustomMailer_Data Set 1, CustomMailer_Data Set 10, CustomMailer_Data Set 11, CustomMailer_Data Set 12, CustomMailer_Data Set 13, CustomMailer_Data Set 14, CustomMailer_Data Set 16
 
I really need this bulk action to print them out in order, what the program is doing.

Photoshop :: CS6 Save As PDF Creates Bad PDFs

Mar 31, 2013

I'm on a MacPro using the latest version of Lion, 10.8.3.I'm trying to convert my .psd files (CS6 13.0.4 x64) into PDFs with embedded fonts, but if I do a Save As and select Photoshop PDF and then select High Quality Print, the resulting PDF files show text that appears to be partly corrupted, no matter what application I view them in.
 
Examples, first the original PSD file:

And here's how it looks as an exported Photoshop PDF: The text that looks normal (starting with Holmes) can be selected, but the rest does not act normal at all.

Photoshop :: PDF Creates Text And Images That Are Not Sharp

Jul 15, 2013

I know that Photoshop is not the premier pdf creation software. I do have InDesign as well, but I'm much more familiar and comfortable with Photoshop (I have the CC versions of both) so I prefer to use it as my design and layout tool.
 
However, when I save as a pdf the resultant pdf file is blurry for images and text, not horribly so, but not sharp and clear as I would like. My pdf files are for the web and emailing so I need to keep the file size in check, but even when I up the PS resolution to 300psi it still is not as clear as I would like. Still blurry.
 
What do you Photoshop experts out there do to produce the sharpest pdf possible? Is it even possible using Photoshop only or do you have to use InDesign or Acrobat Pro to get the clarity and shapness?

Photoshop :: CS6 Creates Too Many History States Within 1 Stroke?

May 26, 2013

I'm on MAC OSX 10.6.8, Photoshop CS6, using a Wacom Cintiq 12".
 
Too often Photoshop remembers way too many History states within one pen stroke. In previous versions I don't remember this behaviour. Previously, each stroke, no matter how long, was registered as only one History state, until I raised the pen from the tablet. Now, totally sporadically without any obvious rule, Photoshop decides to remember even 100 history states within only one stroke.

Although this is sometimes useful, if you work on really long strokes, but mostly it's highly disturbing, as after using just one tool to paint only one little circle, I loose all my other, much more important History states.

Photoshop :: CS6 Creates Tiled Image When Moving From LR4 And HDR Efex Pro

Apr 29, 2013

Just recently I've had a problem with CS6 where it creates a partial (tiled) image when "Edit In" from LR4 and when saving back to CS6 from HDR Efex Pro. THe image may have one or several rectangles which may be black, white, or part of the image that's in the wrong place if that makes any sense. All software is running with current updates.

Photoshop :: Refine Edge Now Automatically Creates New Layer?

Mar 9, 2013

For some reason, every time I use the "Refine Edge" option after making a selection, then hit "OK", Photoshop creates a new layer with a mask on it, instead of simple leaving the selection outline there and letting me decide what to do with it (which was the previous behavior).
 
How do I make "Refine Edge" NOT create a new layer or anything like that?

Photoshop :: Every Open File Creates Instance On The Taskbar?

Apr 21, 2012

I've just moved back to windows and have an odd thing I don't remember happening before. Every time I open an additional file, a new photoshop icon shows up on the Taskbar (windows 7).  The way I remember it working previously, there was only one icon on the task bar regardless of how many files are open.

Photoshop :: Refine Edge Creates Jagged Edges?

Feb 13, 2013

I'm having an issue with Refine Edge. I like to often add a slightly feathered edge to my masks. I figured recording an action of using Refine Edge would give me a quick way to do that to prevent harsh-edged selections. Well, RF gives me a soft edge, but also adds sort of an aliasing to it as well, which of course I don't want. get smooth edges using RF? Below shows an example.

Photoshop :: Brush That Creates Black And White Line?

Jun 25, 2008

I need to draw lines on photos to matching figure numbers. For example, I'll have a white circle with an "A" in it and a line connecting the "A" to some item in the photo.

I usually draw a black line to the item. However, the color range sometimes forces me to place a white line right next to the black line (so people can see the line). Dashed lines are not desired.

Is there a way to draw a double line (one black and one white) using a brush or pencil?

Photoshop Elements :: Renaming Multiple Files Creates Two Copies Of Each?

Photoshop Elements :: Spherical Filter Creates Horizontal Lines

Aug 9, 2013

When I use the spherical filter in the horizontal mode in order to narrow the center of my picture slightly, the filter creates evenly spaced horizontal lines.  Is there a way to avoid this?  Here is the funny thing.  If I rotate the image 90 degrees, then apply the filter using "vertical only" the lines do not appear.  The lines only appear when I use "horizontal only"!

Photoshop :: Using Arrow Keys Inside Text Creates Unwanted Characters

When editing text, pressing any of the arrow keys to move the cursor creates an unwanted charachter like & '%# etc. Also, when in Move tool mode, the arrow keys don't respond at all.

Photoshop Elements :: Organizer Creates Duplicate Files In Temp Folder?

Aug 6, 2013

I'm using Elements Organizer 11.0 with Windows 8. These temp files have been a problem in at least the previous three versions of PSE with the previous three versions of Windows.
 
Scenario: Suspiciously low on disk space
Problem: Found thousands of duplicate image files in Windows temp folder (ex. C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalTemp)
 
PSE creates these files and never deletes them AFAICS after exiting the program, rebooting, using the Windows 'Disk Cleanup' utility, optimizing the catalog, etc. I found no user preference for deleting temp files or limiting them to a particular size.
 
These can be created for many reasons, but one sure way to do this is to choose File>Save Metada to Files. (If you don't have any images selected it will attempt to do this for all files displayed.) In my case it makes a duplicate of my 29MB CR2 file and a backup of the associated 4KB XMP file. I've used Windows' fc.exe utility to verify that the CR2 is exactly the same, byte for byte.
 
Is PSE designed to leave these around for us to clean up after they consume the entire hard disk? Am I missing something?

Photoshop Elements :: Organizer Defect Creates And Leaves Temporary Files In Open Directory?

Nov 3, 2012

I'm using Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer and Adobe Bridge CS6 concurrently.  If I have Bridge open to the same folder as PSE Organizer and I do an "Add captions ..." operation to a group of files selected in the Organizer, then there is a very good chance that PSE Organizer will rename one or more files to OriginalFileName_edTMP-1.extension and leave the renamed file in the directory rather than completing the update and returning the file(s) to their original name.  In most cases my original files are Nikon .nef files with .xmp sidecar files, but I've also seen this happen with .psd files.  The .nef files are generally large, averaging 35 Mb per .nef image and the .psd files are usually over 100 Mb.  If PSE Organizer and Bridge are open to different folders then Organizer does not leave the renamed file. logical threading error in PSE Organizer where it does not consider that another application may be monitoring the folder and also opening the files, which is what Bridge does when it discovers that a file has changed (the addition of a caption changes the file contents.)  This was also a defect in PSE Organizer 10.

AutoCad :: How To Creates PDF With Paper Size

Dec 11, 2013

I have the next problem with PDF printer:

I have configured a special size and assigned to a PC3 file

(1350.00 x 1050.00 mm.)

This is the default printer for some other layouts in some other DWG's as well.

If I print the layout directly from the drawing editor, it creates a PDF with the paper size I assigned, but if I print it using the sheetset, it creates a document with another paper size based on I don't know what.

The plot and publish details window shows the next message when printed from the sheetset

Sheet: BA_00-P-050-0100___ - Plotted

Page setup:
Device name: DWG To PDF.pc3 - plotted to file
Plot file path: ...DesktoppublishBA_00-P-050-0100___.pdf
Paper size: ISO full bleed B0 (1414.00 x 1000.00 MM)

I cannot find the mistake.

AutoCad :: Hatching Creates A Group?

Nov 15, 2012

A college, using AutoCAD 2009, is having problems when hatching.

If using a polyline, for example, to create a hatch boundary, and then creating the hatch, both the hatch and the polyline are included in a group. How do I turn group select off so that the polyline or the hatch can be selected separately? How do I set the hatching up so that the hatch and polyline are not grouped together?

I have had some success using the 'Toggle value of PICKADD Sysvar' and the 'select' button but I have not been able to repeat my success so I obviously don't understand what those buttons are doing.
