Photoshop :: Create Action To Copy Channel Name Text And Insert Into Channel In CS5?
Jul 26, 2013
I am a screen printer and I print my separations from Photoshop. I routinely work with multi channel files or RGB files with additional spot color channels. I have created actions to place my registration marks, re-size images, etc to get ready to print but I manually have to create the text labels for each screen if they are missing from the original artwork.
The files I work with have channels named as "Base White, Red, Green, 284 Blue" etc indicating the ink color. What i would like to be able to do is click an action that would copy the text from the channel name and insert it into a separate or each/all channels near the top of the file so that when I print each positive it has a corresponding label for ink color.
I am not sure if this is even possible, and I am limited on my knowledge when it comes to actions and have pretty much got lucky in the past getting them to do what I want without unnecessary steps.
On my registration target action it creates a new channel with each individual reg mark then combines them into one separate channel in which I just copy the contents and select all the ink channels and fill with black to make them appear, i'm happy with the steps it takes as it isn't too much trouble and if this could do the same with labels I would be happy with that.
Just made sure updates for the video card and all the hardware were current and still getting this problem where when I go to adjust a channel of video a random frame from the below channel will insert itself into the clip that I just moved as if it was married into the source footage.

How can I get the channel subassembly to attach to the assembly insertion point at the channel flowline marker? Â I need the flowline to follow my profile elevations.
when a copy is made of one of the channels be it the red channel , the new channel that is created will automatically be named alpha 1, but on my photoshop it will be called red copy . Do I have to name it alpha 1 or is there a setting I have to make.
I have photoshop cs6, and I was just wondering how to save a selection in channel mode. Â So for example (below), If i wanted to only copy the part of this picture that has white and the plant in the picture how would i do this? I've tried colour range but it didn't work so I am very stuck.
Im trying to copy a channel as a separate layer Im not sure how to word this right. I wanna keep the red channel cause like it as a starting point but i also want to keep the RGB to add some of the original color on parts of the red channel
Is there any way to connect (Expression Link) a tracker data from Action or 2dTransfom to parameters inside of Spark plugin? I want to find a way to make usable a tracker in Sparks.
I having a problem with creating a new channel in that when it is created the image becomes white instead of black. I need it to be black to create the red selection, when I click the RGB channel visablitiy " eye".
I have tried changing the colour in the new channel dialog box and it doesnt make any difference. Still get white. Also have tried changing the white to black by pressing control backspace to fill with black but then I still cannot get the red selection . I Would really apprieate some help with this. I am doing this tutorial and I am stuck at the moment.
I have some textures, and i am trying to pack them into texture atlas. All of them are RGBA png's generated with PIL (Python Image Lib). I am opening all of them in gimp and copy-pasting them into their new place in texture atlas.
But i have noticed something strange, i am storing specular map in alpha channel of my diffuse textures, and emission value in alpha channel of normal textures.
The problem is, that GIMP does not copy pixels with 0 alpha value into clipboard. So, when i am trying to copy a normal map from source to atlas, and if emission value is 0, then GIMP is not copying anything, i am getting empty layer pasted into my atlas, if there are 0 alpha value pixels in diffuse map they are not copied to destination, even selection outline shows that there are no pixels in places where specular is set to 0.
I have an image that I created in Photoshop CS3 with a drop shadow on it and transparency around it. I need to save it as a 32-bit TARGA file with an embedded alpha, so that the transparency and drop shadow work when I bring it into my video editing software, but when I save it out as a 32-bit .tga it doesn't save an alpha with it. I seem to remember Photoshop automatically creating an alpha from your transparency when you save out a 32-bit .tga. What am I doing wrong?
I have a nice image that has lost the red channel histogram data for about half of the image. It can still be viewed, and the preview is correct.
Can I copy the histogram data from the red channel of the non-corrupt portion of the image? I know it's the red channel because when I open the color data from the corrupted portion the red channel is literally non-existant.
I need to print a document with partial UV-spots, and cannot figure out how to make my Illustrator document ready for print! Â The online print center guides me to: create a 'seperate print channel' for the specific elements in my document i want covered, with either a '5th color or a special color' set for 'over-print and 100% color'.
I have created a logo using Illustrator CS5 and need to import it into a video sequence in Final Cut Pro 6. The logo has a transparent background. It seems FCP 6 will import both native .ai files as well as .tiff files, but when I open them in FCP 6, the alpha channel (transparent background) is no longer there; there is just the logo over a white background.Â
I have a problem with the Actions of Photoshop, I wish you can help me: I need to put a square box (or a point, some kind of mark) in the corner of the bottom-left in hundreds of images, so I think an Action is the best way to do it but I don't know how can I do it, because I need that the mark can adapt itself to the size of each image: it have to be the 5% of the size of the original image.
I sell limited edition prints of a run of between 350 and 500.
I am trying to get it set up so that my signature and the print number is included as part of the print. Here is an example: Â You'll see at bottom left there is my signature and underneath is is the print number e.g. 110/350 (this is legible when printed at 18x12" size).
Inserting the signature and the "/350" is easy since it only needs to be done once per image.
The difficulty comes with inserting the actual print number e.g. "110" Â At the moment I have 0 to 9 written out and scanned in as separate numbers. So to make "110" I use the "1" digit twice, plus the "0" digit. I.e. I haven't written out 1 to 500 and scanned them in all as separate numbers, I've just done the 10 digits and use those 10 digits to make all the different numbers I need. Â Is there a way to create an action that will create say 350 JPEG copies of the original file, each one with its own unique print number inserted? (And ideally automatically saved with the print number as its file name!)
What is the more usual image mode? I think my files have been 8 bits per channel for many years. I was having a lot of trouble with Photoshop slowing down dramatically on several large files I created, and I noticed I had made them in 16 bit mode. Would this require more RAM?
we are making a soft in Visual C++ .NET,and my job like a desinger is to create some pictures which contain Alpha Channel.Thise pictures will be links,but when gues take thise pictures to make its links in Visual C++ .NET the Alpha Cannel what I made disappeared.
I clicked on the load select for part of image and I cut it and put it in the channel and plus pasted in the layer palette. I see the image in the layer pallette now and see the it in the channel as well. Is it correct?
I've another damaged picture and looked at the channel saw the red is better so clicked all from selection and copied it and scrolled down and pasted into in the green channel. Is it correct?
I've been colouring an image which was black and white, consiting mainly of black lines. I've made a special channel for the lines and coloured it all in the RGBs chanel, and now when I want to save this as an jpg or at all, the lines vanish. The chanel and the original pic is still there but the lines just won't apply to the rest of the art so they coul be seen, only when I click on the visible or not button at the channel. I've tried to merge it but it still only gives me the colours of the pic without the lines..
I have created two masks with channels to use on an image. Now I want to combine the two channel masks into one to use. I made a new layer in channels of the composite masks which gave me an Alpha channel. The Alpha channels show the solid black paint lines where I filled in the selection voids. These solid lines affected the adjustment layers so I ended up doing some erasing at 50%. Not the shortest workflow direction. How can I combine two channel masks (selections) into a common selection and save as a new Channel?
I created an alpha channel with marquee tool on a colored backgound, by using "select > save selection", the alpha channel appeared at the bottom of the channel palette. I know the white part should represents transparency and the black part is opaque. But when I import this into the Adobe premiere6.5, the thing is reversed, I have to use "alpha channel" plus "reverse" option to get what I want - see through the "white" part. I heard there is an option in the photoshop with which you can define whether you want "white" is transparent,black is opaque or vice versa,
I have an image that I want to have an alpha channel even though it isn't used at all. Even if I save the image with transparency flag in "Save for web" (as PNG), Photoshop doesn't include the alpha channel with image because it's not been used. Is there a way I can overcome this (other than adding a single transparent pixel to image or using another program)?
I'm running CS2 on an HP Pavilion with an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80 GHz 3 G RAM on a 32 bit Vista OS. Last time I used this function it was fine but now, every time I try to create a new channel it's black, not transparent, not white but black. Whatever's pasted into it looks like an X-Ray. What have I turned on?
When I try to save a selection to other than a New channel, the Save Selection box only allows saving to a New channel and grays out the other options. How do you save a selection to another channel and/or activate the other options?Â
