Is there a way to create an action in PS CS3 with the ability to type different words in the middle of the action?
For ex, I have a series of steps, then need to save the image to 2 different sizes/resolutions, with a different name. So I want the action to run, stop where I type in the name for the hi-res, continue, then stop where I type in the name for the lo-res, then finish the steps desired.
something weird has started happening with the text tool. When I enter text it is really small. Even at 200pt it is tiny. I have it set on the normal text tool and none of the settings are changed apart from the font size. The work area is zoomed at 100% so it is at real size.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAnyway, my quest is to create an action in CS3 that will position and size text (eg. center) as a watermark in any size image. Currently I am creating a copyright symbol, then a text layer and then another text layer and either grouping them in the action or merging them down as created to be in one layer. This works fine as long as I run the action on another file of the same size but when it comes across a different size file the components are all over the place and differently sized.
I gotta admit I don't know a lot about text though. Just thought someone may be able to help me with this one so thanks to all who contribute.
I am trying to make a Christian calendar and entered text on to my background layer and can not edit this. I have tried to duplicate the background layer so it is not locked but I still can not edit this text.Â

attached file.
So I have created 2 text fields via composition ready
Â
 $("<input type='text' value='' name='input1' id='input1' size='5'>").appendTo("#Stage");
sym.$("#input1").css({"position":"absolute","top":"70px", "left":"52px"});
$("<input type='text' value='' name='input2' id='input2' size='5'>").appendTo("#Stage");
sym.$("#input2").css({"position":"absolute","top":"90px", "left":"52px"});
 Â
input1 AND input2.
Â
The user then puts a number in each field.
Â
I have a 3rd field created to hold the answer. I also made a text field with the name "scorefield" to see if that would work, either will do.
Â
Then on a button on the stage, the user clicks on it to add those first two numbers together and have the sum appear in the 3rd field or the text field that has the symbol name "scorefield".
Â
However I can not seem to be able to add the 2 values of the text fields. On the submit button I have:Â
Â
var number1 = $("#input1").val();
var number2 = $("#input2").val();
var additionresult = number1 + number2;
sym.$('scorefield').html(additionresult);
answer1.value = additionresult;
Â
The problem is that it is NOT adding number1 and number2 together!
Â
If I substitute + for - or / or * it works using those symbols, but if I try to use the plus sign and add the two, it does not work and instead physically adds the numbers next to eachtoher.
Â
So If I were to put a 5 in field one, and a 2 in field 2, the result comes out to be 52...instead of adding the two values, it places them next to eachother.
Â
I know those ARE numeric values because any other mathamatical sign works. I can multiplay, subtract and divide those two numbers. I can even check to se if its higher or lower of a value using > or <.
Â
But when I use the + sign, it breaks.
Â
Is there some other sign I must use to add two values?
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.
Can AUTOCAD sum values that are entered as text values? Attached is a table text whose right final values should be all sumed up? Is this possible inside AUTOCAD?

I tried creating an action to do this but it did not work right. It only works for one layer selected individually. If I select multiple layers, then it forms nested groups. How do I create this action? I am using adobe photoshop cs6 ( I think) , windows 7.
Decided to download the trial version of CS6 and create some actions for myself. What I need to create is a 3d canvas wrap image as seen in the pic.I need to be able to control the following.

1, The size of the canvas
2, The depth of the frame
3, To have the image mirrored on the sides of the frame.
4, Shadow effect
I am new to creating actions, I have crated a design I am happy with and I want to recreate it easily with an action. The design uses multiple stages and filters, so its a real pain to retrace steps. Is there a quick way to create an action set without having to go through all steps again?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 200 tiffs in one folder (each tiff is named 'image 1-200') all without an alpha channel.
I have 200 different tiffs in another folder (named 'luma matte 1-200').
I've have copied the first images of the 'luma matte 1.tiff' (a black and white image) and pasted it into a newly created alpha layer in 'the image 1.tiff' channel window.
I save this out as a new tiff called 'composite 1' and it works in the way I require it to work.
How would I automate this process rather than having to do it individually for all the 200 files. I'm not sure if this can be done with a series of actions/batch? I dont want to use After Effects luma key as this isn't giving me the correct results.
I'm trying to simplify the creation of several preview thumbs from one image. For example, my base image is a 400x600px image, and from this image I need to create the following thumbs:
1: 90x120px
2: 120x90px
3: 100x100px
4: ...
(Please look at the image i attached)
I need an Action that would Crop the base image and save a copy of each of these thumbs. I can't fugure out how to do this since I need to adjust the Marquee selection for each thumb to Crop the part of the base image I want.
I want to create an action to apply to several images. This had to be the result. But I want to use the action for a portrait or landscape image or 72 or 300 dpi picture.

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.

How do I a create a pause in the action so I can position the crop manually before I save the image?
I want to create an action that only opens one particular file type, performs some changes to it, then finds all the others of that file type. I can do everything else and use the Image Processor to run it, but I can't find any way to tell the action to only open .GIF files and ignore everything else.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to create an action where a user is able to choose from a particular set of patterns (created by me) and excluding all the others (that may be present otherwise) from view. My action is currently working either from choosing from the whole pattern set (using insert menu item in the action), or a single pattern of my choice. (no insert item menu used).
Â
I want the user to choose from my set of pattern in this particular instance but not the others that are currently in the presets.
Â
I had the idea of making the action replacing temporarily the patterns with my set (replace patterns in the drop down menu) and then reset or load the user's set at the end of the action. It made me think that maybe people wouldn't want me to mess with their presets in an action.
Â
I am currently using PSCS4.

I can either use a new pattern layer or a new "blank layer" with a pattern overlay (layer style)

I am really looking for a spark that'll light my Eureka moment.
I will be working on a project soon where I will have to change the fill color and header overlay for about 128 images. I know how to create an action to change the header, but I don't know how to make one that changes the fill color. I have a list of each hex code for each image on a spreadsheet. Is there anyway i could create an action to read the information from that and create each image accordingly?
I would do it by hand, but I anticipate getting several projects of this type in the future, so I would like to automate as much as I can!

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhy is there a difference between the text from the soft fx and the text in action? If you look at the attached picture, the 3 lines look slightly different although they shouldn't. The first line was written inside the soft fx.
The second line, with an ugly outline, is the 3D text, and although it's the same font, it looks thinner here.
And the third line, which I think looks a little too soft, is with AA turned on in action.
So why can't I achieve the same look in action, as in the text soft fx?
