Photoshop :: Customize Menus Or Add Buttons To Control Bar To Make Repetitive Operations Single Step?
Mar 18, 2012
Is there a way to customize menus or add buttons to the control bar to make repetitive operations single step. Thinking specifically of adding an import button somewhere (similar to PS Elements 2) in which the current scanning settings are stored. Presently it takes about 6 steps through the menu to accomplish this.
I can't figure out how to customize popup menus. In particular, if I right-click a layer in the layer panel a huge list opens, there are far too many items that inhibit my workflow. All I want to do is hide some of them.
These are some I'd like to hide:
No Color Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Gray Postcard New 3D Extrusion From Selected Layer New 3D Extrusion
How to add/change/delete the menu items that appear in the drop down menus in the library? I see how you can add a new folder for Titles but not for the Transitions or Effects. Also, is there any way to change which filters appear for a particular menu selection?
I have a wacom intuos 4 with smac 2013 and I was wondering how i could customize the functions in smoke, as of right now it just says "Application Defined".
I tried a lot of sample (mostly from spidernet) using EntityJig. My problem is always the same: I can't walk through "protected override SamplerStatus Sampler" method by single step debugging. If a Break Point inside this overritten method is reached, a new tab "No source available" is shown and debugging stops.
How can I use multiple export presets in a single step. After I am done editing, I like to export my RAW images as JPG in 4-5 different resolutions and sizes. Currently, this means having to use the export dialog for each preset. Can I do this in a single step by grouping the presets or something?
Been using Paint.NET for years, but mainly very simple stuff all revolving around making buttons for various touch screen remotes I've had over the years.
I'm now doing a whole new set of buttons for an iPad app I'm using and one thing's got me stuck. I've downloaded a bunch of TV channel logos (130 x 90) and I want to put them on buttons. The logos all have white backgrounds, but my buttons are dark grey. I can get rid of the white backgound no problem using the magic wand, but that leaves me with the dither to white around the image, and when I put this onto the dark backgound it looks terrible. The dither seems very important due to the small image size. I guess what I'm trying to do is change a 'dither to white' to a 'dither to dark grey'. How do I do this ?
I am trying to move a symbol around based on it's x and y coordinates, without using keyframes to actually animate any movement.
Basically what I want to do is have a largish map image inside a symbol, most of which is off stage, with right,left, up and down buttons that slide the map in and out as you mouseover them, thus allowing the user to navigate east, west, north and south, if you see what I mean.
The buttons would move the map symbol around in increments of perhaps 10 or 20 pixels at a time, but it would freeze where it was when you moused out of the button, and begin moving again when you mouseover.
Of course it would be important to fix limits to how far the map symbol could be pushed so that you could only see as far as the edges of the map, and not beyond the limits of the map.
I'm using autocad 2013 & the classic workspace instead of ribbon. For some strange reason, if 2 or more drawings are open & I minimize a drawing, it removes the minimize, maximize, close buttons from the right top side of the screen like in the attached picture. To get them back I have to go to the window pulldown & select the drawing from there. I'm using windows 7 pro with a nvidia quadro 1000m card.
I have two menus that I use often and I would like to add them to my mouse buttons. Attached is a picture of the two menus I like and the two buttons. The Shift + Click has the correct menu already (Osnap menu2) my problem is adding my custom menu to the CTRL + Click doesn't work. I labeled Osnap Menu 1 and 2, 1 being the custom menu I have use in the past and 2 being the default osnap menu that comes with the cui file. How to get the second button to read my menu rather than both read the same osnap 2 menu?
I am trying to make buttons on PS. I am very new to this. I am taking a class in DW and didn't know that PS was going to be used so I didn't learn it (so now I am trying to learn 2 software programs at same time).
I am trying to make buttons for a site redesign project for class. I figured out how to make the layer, put the name (eg. Home, About Us, etc) and do drop shadows, bevel etc. The problem is when I do that it only makes these changes over the text. I cannot figure out how to make a box around the text, and make that box a button. It is frustrating. I have tried so many different things.
I need create 2 buttons on bitmap image, both in the bottom, aligned horizontally. It will be hotspot areas, and work as action buttons in autorun. Then i need to determine the X,Y coordinates of the upper left hand corner, the Width, and the Height of each hotspot area in the bitmap. The image area where buttons will be placed is white(transparent), so i want just image style buttons - integrated into the background image, or windows style buttons. How to make buttons for my bitmap?
I have somehow reversed the process of changing a sky in my photo so that when I get to the point of painting in the sky from the 2nd photo, it is painting with white (not black) that brings out the background I want on the original photo. Where have I gone wrong? Is there anywhere I can go to find a detailed step-by-step process for doing Layer Masks?
I've created various snapshots of a series of photos and I'm ready to export. Is there a way to export all the snapshots at once, in a single export step? Up to now, I've been doing this step by step, exporting one version of the image, than going to the next snapshot and exporting again.
Using two different shortcuts for "undo" (one step back) and "Step Backward" (Multiple steps back) makes no sense to me. As such, I rarely use the regular undo, and do not have it mapped.
The case:
When I switch to a new layer, do a brush stroke and undo it, photoshop treats my undo as a switch back to the layer I came from. This happens a LOT, and not just to me, but to a lot of designers I know (I'm a GUI designer at a game company). Some of them have even formed a habit of "erasing" a bit in an empty part of the layer, just in case the'd later want to undo. That's bad.
My proposed solution:
-First undo my stroke, Leave my selected layer alone.
-On a NEXT press of "Step backward" change my current layer to the one I came from.
I am trying to make a logo button for my site, but unfortunately I have no idea what font to use for the logos. I have attached some examples and was hoping that I could get some help.
how I can control another Edge animation and/or html element of a single page from a custom Edge animated button? For example, I created an animated tabbed buttons in Edge, then I want to animate a different Edge animate once I clicked on a button in the other Edge animation. I want to add multiple Edge animation in one page instead of one big Edge animation. This is partly because the design of the page is done is Muse with the parallax effect.

Because I have now Vista 32: I bought and installed a full VS12 (X2 PRO?).
Problem: when I go to the Share-step I can add clips to the project but I cannot see them in the right. So cannot add chapters or trim the clip in the share step. The buttons below the preview window stays inactive.
When I go further: I cannot see the preview of the video "Press 'play' button to start preview" stays on the screen.
When I go further till burning (DVD-folder), the program makes the folder.
I have a Command Method which has a loop that opens and commits transactions until the user is finished with it and exits.
I would like each transaction to be undone separately but the undo command undoes the CommandMethod (along with all the transactions that occurred while in the loop)
Do I need to use the COM StartUndoMark and EndUndoMark to get this working?
Is it possible to use Video Studio Pro X3 to make the edited video into a video file with menu and chapters like you have on a DVD but just on a video file instead ?
I have used Video Factory 2010 for making DVD's with navigation menus but I would like to make it into a file to use on my Mediaplayer instead of having to make a DVD and then ripp.
I am now running Acad2006 and I cannot seem to find a good instruction tutorial on making Icon menus like I did in R14.
I tried the Palettes menu and was not very impressed, seems to take a dogs age to make one up if you have many, many blocks, and the icons appeared too small?
Is it possible to make up decent Icon menus in the new CUI menu.
Created some pulldowns and icons to go along with the new commands. Put the cui files on the server for everyone. Question is ... How/Can I make the icons go with them. Are they associated with the CUI automatically. Guy at work is running MEP and everyone else is running plan old cad. They are not showing up on his. Is there a way I can fix this?
How to make my own toolbar buttons for ACAD 2004 yet am having trouble figuring out what I would write as the macro command for the operation in the button creation dialog box for a specific operation.
There will be 3 buttons. One for .XX, one .XXX, one .XXXX precision edit of an existing dimension. IOW, if I have a 2 place precision dimension and wish it to be 4 place, I'll click the '.XXXX button' then click the dimension and it will change to 4 place. In addition, I'd like for it to update immediately for multiple dimension picks if possible just like 'match properties'.
The pulldown menus listed in the CUI are File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Window, and Help. The menu bar has one pulldown menu: Express. How do I make the pulldown menus listed in the CUI appear on the menu bar? Sure wish it was as easy and obvious as "drag them there".
