Photoshop :: CS6 - Recording / Grouping And Playing Action
Sep 5, 2013
I am working with CS6. Recently I have been recording a few actions that I like to run on a lot of my photos. Before I am done recording these actions I like to group them. Here is where the problem comes into play however...First time I play the action it shows up perfectly in the layer panel. The 2nd,3rd attempt an so on, the action that is grouped (the same action or another grouped action) will show up all jumbled in the layers panel. Sometimes the adjustment layers show up outside of the group while others the group appears to have "eaten" the first group of actions I ran. why can't I stack the actions I have written?

I've recorded an action which resizes images, but for some odd reason, when I play the action it won't.
Does an Image Resize actually work when being 'played' back through an action?

How do I record an action that will mimic my doing these clicks (assume that I've selected what I want to transform)
1. Edit
2. Transform -> Scale
3. Maintain Aspect Ratio
Now I want it to wait for me to manually adjust the scale, then I'll hit "Enter" when I'm done.

I was recording some actions for photoshop elements using paths and noticed something strange in photoshop cs6 13.01 on windows 8.
.
Recording an action of filling a path or making a selection from a path, didn't seem to record the settings.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Select the Rectangle Tool and set the option to paths in the tool options bar.
2. Draw out a rectangle.
3. Save the workpath in the paths panel by double clicking on the path thumbnail in the paths panel.
4. Make a new action and hit the record button.
5. Try using the Fill Path (from the flyout menu in the paths panel) with dialog and set to whatever option you want.
(i used 50% Gray in my test)
6. Try using the Make Selection with dialog from the flyout menu in the paths panel.
Neither action seems to record the parameters (settings). Playing back the action uses whatever the last settings were.
I expected the settings to be recored as photoshop 7 does (second action in the screenshot below) Photoshop cs6 13.01 is the first action shown.

I have recorded an action that will automatically place a logo in the upper left corner of every image. There are 4 steps after pasting the logo onto the image (and before saving it):
1. Align current layer (using: top edges)
2. Align current layer (using: left edges)
3. Set selection (to: none)
4. Move current layer (to: 0.139 inches, 0.139 inches)
There are no errors when I use File > Automate > Batch on a large number of pictures. However, the problem I'm encountering is that it has recorded the "move current layer" measurements in inches. Since each picture is a different size, it's moving the logo much farther on some pictures than on others.
Is there a way to edit the actions dialog to use pixels when I'm recording an action? Or another alternative way to get it to record the location of the logo so that it's consistent no matter what the size of the picture?

There is still an issue with making new actions that include saving for web. While recording the action, save for web functions as it should. But once the action is played, regardless of the original format the saved image should be, it gives it an html filename extension.

I have spoken about this bug with a friend that is a computer programmer. Considering that the action is saving the file correctly, and it's only the name that is not saving properly indicates that this is a superficial error, and not an issue that would require rewriting the code completely. Also consider that this WAS functioning properly in CS5, and that this is a very easily reproducible bug.

I'm creating a few PS actions and I wrote a piece of text that I want to show by a "insert stop" rule at the begining of every action.
Problem is this: when I copy the text (from TextEdit) and go to the dialogue box on Photoshop, text simply doesn't paste. If i have to write it on every single action it will be a neverending work!

How can I group objects is CS2? (For instance, I have text and a picture of the earth. I want the text background to be the earth.) I know it's basic, but I cannot figure out how to do it in CS2.

encouterd some remarks about the alignment and outlining of your layers in your group.. I get the impression that you should group the relevant layers, so that its easier to align them or clip them of outline them or whatever.. Which would be great, because Im always having difficulties with shape layers that go outside their bounds.. and adding multiple clipping masks seem to be a lot of work..

I upgraded to CS6 two weeks ago and so far I haven't recorded a single action that has not been EFFED UP in some way! I'll record the action on a test file, but when I run it on another file or a batch of files it will have at least one bizarre mistake...like the saturation will be set to 100%...or a channel in Selective Color might be set to -78%...or the opacity of a layer will be 100% instead of whatever lesser value I set it to when I recorded the action! I check the test file and it is always fine.

I was wondering if it would be possible to do the following:
Parameters who can vary for lets say a rectangular profile with:
80x50x2
80x50x3
100x50x2
That these data sets/parameters are grouped/linked to eachother in the Parametric Table.
So when I'm doing my analyses with the profile of 100 and I change the wall thicknes from 2 to 3mm the 100 changes to the 80 variant automaticly, or asks me which version I want.
It would be handy to avoid mistakes with non excisting combinations of profiles.
Is there a custom app for Inventor that allows you to manage parameters easier? (Grouping wise to keep a better overvieuw.)

I have just upgraded to P&G Designer7 from Xara Xtreme 3.I had problems ungrouping layers.Maybe others have experienced the same difficulty.
Grouping layers is easy, of course. Shortcut CTRL+G, moves all parts to just one layer.
Ungrouping is not so easy.CTRL+U does NOT revert things to your previous multiple layers.If you've saved saved your file, next time you have to tediously re-create all your previous layers from scratch.CTRL+Z does revert to multiple layers, just as long as you haven't already saved the document.

I've been using PS for a long time now but never really had to use the actions in PS, now I know how to record actions in a specific order and whatnot, but I have a minor issue; I have about 2220 images I need to re-size, crop, cut certain pixels etc. etc. etc. out of - all these images are and will be the same size when I'm done, but the thing is I don't know how to get the program to do all the pictures on it's own.
My first step I recorder was opening the image, so I opened the first image, made all the required adjustments to it, saved it, and closed it. Now if I play the actions all over it opens the one image I opened when I did the recording and goes through the steps and that's it - but I want it to open the next image and go through the same steps, and the next one, and the next one and so on.

I think I did something unintentionally awhile back so that now every time I group or ungroup objects on a layer, the layer they are in collapses. For the life of me, I can't find anything on what keystroke I may have done (if it was a keystroke) that resulted in this happening.

I use object grouping for several different things in AutoCAD. With the release of ACAD 2013 I occasionally get the following message upon opening a drawing:
Associative Network Evaluation Error
The object cannot be resolved or value limit has been exceeded.
Inconsistent associative objects my display geometry and grips incorrectly and update in unexpected ways when edited. You can undo to restore the associative object to its previous state.Upon receiving this message, all groups have been removed from the drawing.

Inventor 2010 / I'm finding myself scrolling up and down the browser bar quite a lot to get to the Solid Bodies folder for example, and I was wondering if it was possible to group features into folders or something to make the journey quicker, with the benefit of also being able to just organize things a bit better.

I have an assembly that I have the BOM property set to phantom. Consists of 7 parts, each have a bom property of purchased.
All parts are the same but cut to length in the shop. Parts list are based on parts only BOM. If I create a parts list based on just the assembly, I can group the items, they all have the same part number, and display the group participants, and the item numbers and everything works as expected.
If I use this assembly as a subassembly in a larger assembly and create a partslist with the same group keys, the subassembly does not show as a group, does not show group participants or corresponding item numbers.
What I'm trying to do is show total length of a product that we buy on a spool for this assembly. To do this I'm using substitution in the qty column. Most parts are purchased each, these are purchased by length. What would cause the parts list to display as a group in one list but not in the other?

Is subtotaling still impossible with ACA 2014?
Is there a workaround to what I am trying to do? I just want to create a table that has a list of all the spaces sorted by name, give a quantity of the spaces and the combined area of all those spaces in one row of the table.
Roughly:
King 4 2000sf
Queen 2 1000sf
Suite 4 3000sf
My attached schedule gives a row for each space, except that it groups spaces of exact same areas. I want a single row for each room type.
Also, when working with spaces sometimes using Space_Add, Generate I am met with the response that a space already exists and no space can be added. The "phantom" space does not show up in the schedule, thawing all layers does not reveal any space and I've tried all my selection tricks to parse a space from the closed boundary that appears empty.

I want to be able to take a few parts and group them together to make them appear as one single entry on the parts list.
Example: I have a Liquid Level Switch, Mounting Bracket and mounting hardware in the assembly as separate parts. On the .idw Parts List I need to have them show up as one item, as a 'LLS Kit' phantom.
Also, these parts will be used on other assemblies and will probably be used with other main components (ie. Temperature switches, pressure switches, etc.) so then need to remain independent of one another.

So we have this custom construction note routine. It creates all the notes with station, offset, blah blah , and it is all together as once piece. So if you move the note group the leader will stay attached to it and it holds all of the label properties.
When I copy clip, wblock, insert these key notes into another drawing they are no longer a group and there is no way to move them all together.
This has created a lot of extra work and moving stuff around that does not seem necessary.How can I copy or move construction key notes from one drawing to another without losing the group properties. I have tried WBlock and making sure the grouping is on when I copy and paste/insert them but it still doesn't work.
Oh and we are running a 64bit 2013 with the carlson suite application,

I have set up a lot of smart photo sets in the Flick section of the Publish Services panel.
I have a lot of these sets now and they are becoming a bit unwieldly to manage. Is there a way to set up a hierarchy and group a number of sets together? For example could I group together a number of sets that I created in 2012 into a 2012 "folder". I have tried dragging and dropping but this doesn't seem to work.

I just upgraded to CC from CS4. In CS4, when recording an action I could set the rulers to percent and a percentage-based value would be recorded rather than a pixel value. For example, if I recorded the creation of a vector shape that filled the entire canvas, the step in the action would create a 100% by 100% shape, starting at point 0%, 0%. This allowed me to run a batch on varying canvas sizes, and get a shape that filled the canvas no matter the size. In CC, it always records pixel-based values no matter what the rulers are set to.

CS6 seems to only record a path and pen pressure for brush scrokes fails to record brush size and color. When Actions are played the stroke will play with the current foreground color and the current brush size not the color and the size that should have been recorded.

Is there any way to record a Photoshop maneuver like airbrushing onto an otherwise transparent layer so the end result is an animation?The real world equivalent of what I'm trying to do would be to have a video camera behind glass and a spray can spraying the glass from the other side.
I know there are programs that record what's on screen but I don't think they allow you to have a transparent layer. I may be able to use one of those programs and key out the non airbrush background. I'd like to be able to import the animation into Premiere so it looks like paint has been sprayed over whatever clip is underneath the airbrushing frames.
