Photoshop :: CS6 Action Recording Path Glitches
Dec 19, 2012
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'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 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 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!

I have some deifned actions in CS4. At one point I would like to save the file at a pre-defined quality. When I record that Save As part it also stores the path where to save the file to. I would like to remove that path. How can I do it?

Using photoshop cs2.
I have a few actions to speed things up, but now i need to use the same actions but with different directory structures. Is there an easy way to just change the path used in an action?
I've tried using a hex editor to do the job but, photoshop fails to load the updated action.

I created a 3D text and a 3D path. Now I simply want the text to follow the path (the text should always look at me, so I can read it). But as soon as I connect the path to my axis of my text, the letters are being pushed together. No matter what path settings I try (Look at... etc) the letters don't extend back to their original "position"

I'm doing an animation with simple camera moves. One of them is a camera moving slightly around an object. I want to make a "look at" or similar, so that the object is always in center no mater where i move the camera. This works untill i connect the camera to a 3D path - then the aim follows the path - not the camera :-|
How can i animate a camera on a path and make the aim stick to a certain location in my scene?An extra question: How can i make an object move at a steady speed on a path no matter how i drew my path (hope this makes sense)?

to get Illustrator to open the files I needed (I open various files based on input from the user).Then I want to save them back off again using a variance of the file path of the file that was opened.I am having difficulty getting the file path of the open doc ... trying to use
ai::FilePath aiFile();
sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileSpecification(aiFile);
XCode is very unhappy with me at the moment. It is telling me that I am illegally referencing the FilePath object from inside of my button proc.
I don't know if I have the right includes in the file or have obtained the correct suites for what I want to do.The api reference says not to use the AIFilePathSuite but to use the ai::FilePath as a wrapper instead. Any examples of the SaveAs?
Basically what I want to do is take the file I have opened using the OpenAction and modify the path (take off the file name, and the last folder and then append the new folder name and file name). Then perform the save as (using native file format).
//save the doc as id.ai in a folder named as id to hold supporting files
ai::FilePath aiFile;
sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileSpecification(aiFile);
aiFile.RemoveComponent();
aiFile.RemoveComponent();
std::stringstream out;
out << "\" << displayedLogo->getLogoID().c_str() <<"\"<<displayedLogo->getLogoID().c_str()<<".ai";
aiFile.AddComponent(ai::FilePath(ai::UnicodeString(out.str())));

I am trying to record an action to find the center of a polygon with the following commands
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.

since i got an FX5700 card i'm getting annoying artifacts in my pictures - odd coloured pixels have been appearing when i scroll about, or show/hide palettes. latest one was dafter : zoomed to like
75%, nothing,
100% could see a random pixel,
110% nothing.
then i was looking at my pic, pressed tab to hide the palettes adn a green pixel appeared. tab again, it vanished.
it's doing my head in! >:-/
been using PS7, upgraded to CS2, since removed it cos i did an XP reinstall and anyway i'd put it in the same folder as PS7 which you ain't supposed to do apparently.
not sure if this is a card or a PShop problem. been playing Delta Force Black Hawk Down too - all the graphic stuff is there, but clicking a menu option hangs the game for about ten seconds. sometimes when a mission starts, same thing, a hang then it runs fine. other things seem fine tho.
PS7 was working fine before, making me thing it's the card, but i'd expect more apps to crash/corrupt...??
i'm running v71 nvidiaa drivers - i tried the v78 pack, they failed to unzip, i tried the v77 and DFBHD menus were corrupted.
current set up :-
XP home
1.5gig
Athlon 2300+
ASUS A7n8x-x mobo
ASUS geforce FX5700 vid card
PShop on a different partition to XP, main scratch is another separate 10 partition.

I was running CS4 before moving on to CC and never noticed any interface lag or uncommon issues. In Photoshop, I am encountering significant lag in using certain tools, e.g. the lasso tool. A common scenario: I select the lasso tool, begin to make a selection with my wacom pen and... nothing happens. Everything else is inaccessible for a few moments until a message box appears saying no pixels have been selected. From there, things may or may not work like normal. Today, the button tools in Photoshop were giving similar lag responses (even just using my trackpad, no wacom).
As far as small oddities go, the other day I was working in Illustrator and made a simple line stroke. When I moved a point with the direct select tool, it switched to a rounded corner on only that end point (not the other), though no rounded corners were selected in the stroke box. Toggling the rounded corner button turned on rounded corners, then returned to a single rounded corner. Moving the end point with the direct select tool again would make the rounded cap disappear.
I've checked my CPU usage while I work and it is very low, and I'm not working on large files (less than 10mb). Though I don't recall any more specifics at this time, the feeling I keep getting, misplaced or not, is that CC isn't stable.
I'm on the Retina Macbook Pro, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Ram, version 10.8.4.

I need to prepare a linked chain araound a defined path. (Please have a look at the attached drawing) My idea is to have one element of the chain defined as a dynamic block and to manually "rotate" one side of the chain element. After that inserting the next element (previously aligning the user coordinate system) and "rotating" the right part again to the next position...
After doing the rotation, the block definition will change and the next block will be "disformed". So far no big problem, but the grip of the rotation parameter will stay there and I am not able to "rotate" the right part back into the old position (0 degree).

Photoshop CC, on my MacBook Pro Retina (Iris Graphics). The text disappears, erases basically, whenever I change the font or size. Every single action with text I have to undo. Change font, disappears/erases, undo etc. Happens regardless what font or size.
Also the performance is very poor, doubting it's optimised for Mavericks.

For some time now, i am experiencing graphics problems in Photoshop. When i import a smart object from illustrator and apply effects to it (stroke, bevel, shadow etc.) weird glitches seems to appear. I've uploaded an image to show the problem. The problem is also visible when i save my work as jpg. I've already tried turning off Open GL and deleting my old preference file.
it has a negative effect on my workflow, since i can't use smart objects anymore. I'm working on a macbook pro with snow leopard 10.8.6 installed. I've also updated my system and all adobe software.

I recently installed Elements 7 on my new Win 8 computer. I also downloaded a 7.03 patch from Adobe site. When the program is launched, and then sitting idle, the mouse pointer jumps around on the screen, and the "working" blue circle appears also. This happens constantly and consistently about every second. I do not have this happen with any other program.
I was having similar issues with Elements and Win 7, and XP, and Win 98 for that matter.

I am using Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2 and I'm experiencing an issue with the crop tool. Whenever I use the crop tool, move the frame around and then zoom in on the image, the image becomes noisy, pixelated or has other 'graphic glitches'. I changed the PS preferences to not use the GPU and then rebooted the computer. Still the same issue without the GPU.
Running on Mac OS 10.8.3, iMac 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6970M.

First, some glitches (short freeze frame) at video transitions. Usually at the end of the transition. I could upload some samples... The problem persist in both : hardware or software accelerated mode.
Also, when i want to create a video file and i use the "same as first video clip" even the project is a HDV 1440x1080 format, the video is created as DVD 720x576 4:3 aspect.

On some clips in my project, when I play them in project mode, the original sound recorded by the camera is gone, and replaced with a weird slow pinging/tapping sound. Weirdly, when I play these same clips in clip mode, they're fine - the original sound is there - it's only in project mode that the problem occurs. Even more weirdly, it's not every clip in my project that's affected - just a few, and in no pattern I can detect. I have not seperated the sound from the clip. And additional sound tracks - such as narration and added music play fine.
I even tried creating a whole new test project, in case I had unknowingly changed some setting in my first project, but same problem - sound is fine in clip mode, missing and replaced with weird pulsing ping in project mode.
The only variable that's changed is that I downloaded the upgrades Corel offered a couple of days ago - the DVD authoring software, and upgrades to VideoPro. Didn't have the problems pre-upgrade. Have them now.

Long story short: audio problems when using keyframes or fades (Constant Power). Annoying glitchy noise occurs instead of fade.The problem still happened when the green audio track's gain was set to 0db and one of the two constant powers was deleted.
My colleague says that she can avoid the problem by using Export directly within Premiere, instead of using AME. So this may be an AME issue.It's wasting a lot of company time and I'd like to see this problem solved ASAP!I wasn't able to find any other theads upon searching.

I have been using smoke for about 2 weeks now and I keep having audio glitching and skipping on my timeline as well as when I try to export my project to proresHQ. I am working with proresHQ media and a mp3 music track. Sometimes I can restart smoke and it will go away for a while but it always seems to come back and at random places and always shows up when I export. I am unable to export any projects do to this

I am having issues with the color warper in Autodesk Smoke Prerelease 6. As soon as you change any values (ie changing the saturation to 99.9%) in the color warper the image glitches out and you see weird inverted colours and other artifacts. It is completely unusable.
The workstation I am currently using is a 12 Core Mac Pro 5,1, 16GB Ram, GTX285.
I do not have the issue with the latest version Smoke 2012.

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.

It does it every 4-6 times which is really really often since you brush about 10 times every 3 seconds or so when digital painting especially when shading, lighting, blending, etc with brushing.
Why does it do this? I cant recall when it started doing this but I think it was either when I updated from CS4 to CS6 or maybe it just randomly kicked in. I already updated my drivers and re-installed my tablet.
