Photoshop :: Document Sizes Of A Layer?
Apr 2, 2013
I have an image with five layers and I need to know the width of all five layers so I know what sizes to put them at on the web as a picture banner (I have a limited width space).
Is there an option that lets you find out the width and height of a selected layer? I know of tricks to do this, like copying it and making a new image and checking the size there, but I want to know if there is a way to do this without creating a new image and just inside your own image your working on.

In relation to Photoshop, in the status bar at the bottom it displays what it calls “document sizes”. How to clarify can this be used to determin the quality of a jpeg file ?
For example if I open up a jpeg with no compression (file size on disk is 4.57mb) it displays Doc:34.5M/34.5M however if I open the same file with compression set at 5 (file size on disk is 748kb) and ‘document size’ doesn’t change. How does the document size relate to jpeg compression etc...?

Is it possible to create AND save predefined document sizes instead of the standard US-letter, US-legal, A4, A3…? And DELETE these for video and screen sizes, ect., which I don`t need? I need my own standard sizes (print) for a daily working basis like business cards -> 85x55, postcard ->... A4). So that I don`t have to type the measures again and again manually within a new document or existing artwork. I normally combine all printproduct (drawingareas) for a client in ONE AI file.

I'd like to find out the amount of all non-transparent pixels in a layer. For example, if there was a 100x100 box and a 50x50 box in one layer, I'd like to get the number 12.500 without having to count every pixel.
Why? I've bought myself a copy of "Homepage Usability - 50 websites deconstructed" by Jacob Nielsen & Marie Tahir. One nice idea I found in it was a break down of used screen estate. How much of the website is navigation, how much selfpromotion, useful content, and so on.
I've come as far as simulating the graphics for Amazon by putting each screen estate category on its own layer. What I'd like to do now is somehow get the percentage of that certain category. Like how much percent - compared to the size of the whole image - of the layer "Navigation" are non-transparent?

What is/are the benefits of having every background layer of a newly opened document locked? I have never come across a need for it and wish it wasn't. It only means I have to create a new layer and import an image to that. Or, double click the layer to unlock it. Is there a way to permanently eliminate that "preference?" It's like entering a room with your shoes tied together.

I have a large psd doc several layers deep. I have a smaller sized psd file open.
I want to drag a layer from the large to the smaller one and have it resize. Much like if i have the option in prefs for place. I thought holding ctrl when dragging or other keys, but i can't seem to find a solution. I know there are a few other workarounds but they are all long winded.
Did i miss something here or is it just not actually possible to say drag a 4000x4000px layer into a 150x150 document and have it auto fit the layer, just as place would do if importing a file.

Is there any way to say to PS so it will duplicate X layer to "document -1"? When I record and duplicate it saves it at strictly to Y document not to "document" -1 or +1 or +x.

I am trying to duplicate a layer to another open document.
The problem is that it is not visible at all at the new document once the duplication procedure is complete.
Although the layers panel depicts the duplicated layer plus the usual backg. layer, in the document/canvas itself i do not see the layer which by the way is an icon.

I am trying to copy layer sets from one document to another in Photoshop CS. It will not do it by dragging and dropping (like you can with layers). How do I do it in CS? I CAN do it in CS2 by dragging and dropping, but then the artwork on the layers still goes out of position. I need to "merge" two or more documents for a web site design. for doing it in CS, or how to have the layers come into CS2 in the right place?

When I have more than one PSD open, and go to any layer with a layer effect (i.e. drop shadow) and try to alt + click that layer and drag it to another layer, Photoshop switches me to the other open PSD instead of dragging the effect and applying it to the layer.
The alt key is not broken since I can clone something on the canvas using alt + click.

Getting the following message when dragging layers between files - Could not complete your request because an adjustment or fill layer cannot be converted to the destination document mode. Original file was client created and supplied. I have isolated the issue- two hue/saturation adjustment layers. I can and will just recreate them in the new file, but am looking for a root cause or long term solution as it is a new client I believe will be sending me a good amount of production work.

Is there event for change current (active) layer of document?
(it's not Database.ObjectModified - it's not raised).
I tried to do it with binding as:
public void Initialize()
{
var layerList = Application.UIBindings.Collections.Layers;
layerList.PropertyChanged += new PropertyChangedEventHandler(LayerList_PropertyChanged);
And -= in Terminate, but... Autocad 2012 chashed _sometimes_!!!
Impossible to understand when it happened. So I reject this way. Is there other way to handle this event?

I am trying to add an entity on a new drawing (document) with a new layer.
Following is the code snippet I have right now.
[CommandMethod("TEST")] public void Test() { Document newDoc = Application.DocumentManager.Add("acad"); Database db = newDoc.Database; DocumentLock docLock = newDoc.LockDocument(); try { using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { BlockTable bt = tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) as [code]..........
PTPUtils.CreateLayer() method creates a new layer in the given DB. However, the code gives me an "eKeyNotFound" exception in the line p.Layer = newLayer.
If I remove the p.Layer line, the code works very well. But the entity only goes to the default layer "0".

I would like to make the active layer name the same as the document name. I know very little about scripting. I found this script:
var idoc = app.activeDocument;var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;var filename = idoc.name;ilayer.name = filename;
It does almost what I need it to do. except that it also copies the ".ai" in to the layer name. Is there some way to modify this script to have it exclude or delete the file extension?

Is it possible to create an art which is present on the document but not on the 'Layer' panel(F7)?
My requirement is to create an art which is visible on the document, but could not be seen on the Layer panel and user is not able to select it.
Just like it happens in case of reflection, when we are creating a copy of selected art object, the reflected copy doesn't present on the 'Layer' panel but it is visible on the document and user is not able to select the reflected one, while he can only select the original art.

Once I use a Clipping Mask on a layer is the entire document covered in a mask?
And/or is all the artwork from then on inside the mask?
I've read about how to add and how to remove art from a mask. I've read about how to make and release and lots of other things.
So, then I went and found a lesson that contained the use of a Clipping Mask.
I am suppose to Select the main shape and "just" copy it and move it down (doesn't say rather to Paste in front or back but I assumed in back ~ not that it has mattered thus far)
However, while making the main shape I used Gradient Mesh and used an Offset to create a "replica" and so when I go to Select the main shape the mesh is selected and so when I Paste (in back ~ seems most logical) and then move it down the details such as the colors of the Gradient and other such things are visible in front ~ ??
So, I have been trying to abate my problem in lots of different ways.
I have tried using the Pen tool to draw behind the main shape, I've tried making a New Layer and placing it above and below and inbetween the main shape layer, I've tried adding the artwork to the Mask ... I've tried everything I can think of and I've been through many an article in the manual and FAQ's to no avail.
I suppose, what I think I need to know ... is, how ... how on earth do I draw behind this main shape? Am I not able to do it because I am not getting behind the Mask?

I have 3 similar but different documents. I made the edits to one of those and now I need to bring that over to the other 2 files. I know I can copy and paste the areas I need to the other 2 files but when you do that, everything merges into a single layer. How do I do this and keep those items in their own sublayers as well?

I recently made a poster which was taken to the printers, the printer said that my file was not the correct size, i had made the image to the A1 dimensions but when it printed it was much smaller on the page, they said the file wasnt the right dimensions but they can stretch it to fit, so what is wrong, is there another setting i should have used because i thought if you made the picture to the A1 dimension or to any dimension you wanted then it would print in that size?
