Photoshop :: Adjustment Layers Not Working In Actions CC?
Nov 16, 2013I am attempting to use the actions panel to edit a large number of product shots quickly. I have disabled the generator, which was a possible solution I saw in another post, closed my photoshop, opened it up again and tried it on a new file.
None of my adjustment layers do what I set them out to do, but they do show up as layers in my layers panel. The only part of the action that works is my smart sharpen. I created the actions in CC and I don't know where to go next.
Photoshop :: Why Adjustment Layers In Actions Not Working (Mac OS X)
Sep 21, 2013I've just 'upgraded' to CC, and noticed that actions that alter Curves or levels adjustment layers do not play back correctly.

Photoshop :: How To View All Actions In Actions Panel
Nov 24, 2013My computer crashed and I removed all apps and reinstalled so now none of my actions appear. However I do have a backup file of all of them and want to reinstall but before when I was using cs6 ( Im assuming same thing as CC as it was all on the subscription plan ) I would click actions then the right arrows and it would bring me a big screen of all the actions ( even the ones that were just preloaded in ps ) and it was a big box with all the actions and some options to record etc...Now that box isn't there and it's just a single column drop down menu.

Jan 7, 2013Is there a setting for the layers panel where you can set the maximum # layers or minimum that one can display on the layers panel. For some odd reason i can only set up 3 layers on the layers panel. Can you set up 8 or more layers(that become visible) on layers display. My lasso tool seems to be working normally now. etc.Â
View 3 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop Elements :: Add New Images To The Layers Panel?
Feb 16, 2013how to import new images into the layers panel. If I hit "create new layer" all I get is a blank layer. What I want to do is import an image from which I will cut out part of it and layer it onto another image. For example: lets's say I want to put an image of myself in front of a tree. I want to take the image of myself from one picture and layer it onto the picture which has the tree on it. How do I get both of those images into the same layers panel? I can get the picture of myself into the layers panel as layer #1, then I can cut myself out of the picture. My problem is, when I try to import the picture with the tree on it, it opens itself up in a new tab. If I try to hit "create new layer", only a blank layer apprears above my first layer. I have tried to drag the new image onto the layers panel, but it won't attach. All of the tutorials I have been able to find/watch, already have all of the images they are working with pre-loaded into the layers panel. I just need to know how to get my images into the panel, so that I can start to work with them.

Photoshop Elements :: Layers Panel Is Blank
Nov 15, 2012I have been using PSE 10 on this laptop for over a year, and PSE 7 for years. Today I opened a PSE file to carry on working on it, and the layers panel was blank, even though it has several layers. I opened a jpg and tried to create a new layer, and nothing shows up in the layers panel. I don't remember changing anything between last night and today. Is PSE corrupt?

Jan 16, 2014Started working with PSE and when I tried to "stamp" a brush shape (whether default brushes or otherwise), the program does something it had never done before....SEE ATTACHED. I will create a new layer to use my brush, but when I try to "stamp" it onto background, the program then creates a layer mask where I can see the brush shape AND a new layer, however ALL that shows up on the background is the icon you can see in my screen grab I am attaching here. What is this icon? (The teeny one middle right of image, black square, outlined in red, with two red circles in the middle) I called Apple, we did a few things, they said it wasn't on there end. I reset my tools, I uninstalled, reinstalled, to no avail. Again, I've reset all tools, the "eye" icon on layers panel shows it should be visible, I've tried layers-->merge visible, I've uninstalled and reinstalled.....
View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Actions Stopped Working After Downloading More Actions
Aug 31, 2004I downloaded a couple of actions from the web to my actions palette and they worked fine, but then I got greedy and downloaded a few more and that’s when things went south. Now none of the actions work - by not working I mean when I mouse over the Play Selection icon at the bottom of the action palette I get that little circle with a line through it. This happens with the PS default actions as well (I also get the circle on the Stop Playing/Recording and Begin Recording icons).
Somewhere in the following is probably what messed things up.
I downloaded actions to my computer in zip files. Copied them over to the actions folder (or somewhere) and unzipped them. I went back to the actions palette and hit “load actions” and loaded them. On the second set of actions that I downloaded I remember thinking “why am I copying and pasting these files - I bet I should cut and paste them, so I did and that may have been the start of the great crumble of 2004. PhotoShop help says: (under Saving and loading actions) “Actions are automatically saved the the Actions Palette folder in PS7.0 Settings folder. If this file is lost or removed, the actions you created are lost”.
I have searched for the settings folder and couldn’t find it, but the actions still show up on the actions palette - they just don’t run.
I’m a little fuzzy on the details on the above steps. In fact, I probably did something different on each download.
one more thing, I reloaded PhotoShop, but still nothing.

Edge Animate CC :: Animating Through Actions Panel?
May 2, 2013How can I access Symbols on Stage so I can Manualy code JavaScript functions to Animate them? My goal is to code everything in the main Action panel like how ActionScript codes run the functions to animate Symbols on Stage on addEventListener()
Â
My understanding is instead of ActionScript language, now you code with JavaScript instead in Action Panels. but my JavaScript functions or command lines doesnt work...
Â
Scenario: I want to relocate the SampleSymbol when a button is Clicked
Â
Following Code is placed on CLICK trigger for a button.
Â
sym.$("SampleSymbol").style.left = '100px';Â <---This Doesnt work...
Â
sym.$("SampleSymbol").hide() <--This works, so it means i m accessing the Symbol correctly.
Illustrator Scripting :: How To Trigger Actions From Action Panel Using JavaScript
Jun 3, 2012Is it possible to trigger actions from the actions panel using javascript? I see that you can do this with AppleScript but I've written everyting so far in javascript and don't know AppleScript, though could learn it if I need to.
Â
I'm writing a script that creates a lot of complex graphic files and have all the prototypes done except for wanting to change the color of a few of the points in a mesh object. Apparently this can't be done in javascript, so I was hoping to mid point in the script, trigger an action from the panel to edit the mesh, then let the script carry on its way.
Â
Is this possible?

View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Dealing With Layers In Animation Actions
Apr 4, 2012I've got some frame by frame animations that I want to edit in CS4 extended and I've realized that a few of them are simple color adjustments that would save a huge amount of time if I made them actions. I have no problems with the adjustments themselves and clicking advance frame works for repeated use, but then I need to selected the appropriate/visible layer or the actions won't apply. Is there a way to "advance" the layer in an action?
View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Actions Save As For Individual Layers
Aug 25, 2012how to make an action that can export individual layers within a PS document and rename each layers in the process.
Â
I have set up a 320 x 180px canvas and have 'Placed' in about 20 images that all need to be exported with the Save for Web option.
Problem is, when I set the action to Save for Web and choose the destination, Photoshop names my newly exported image as the document's title (for example, 320x180_Canvas.jpg). But as soon as I try to make it move on to the next layer, it will automatically replace the first exported image with the new one, renaming it the same way, and so on and so on for the next 2 layers...
So essentially, I can only export one layer at a time - unless I make an action to Save for Web for individual documents and not layers (so instead of having one document with 20 layers, I have 20 documents with one layer)...
Â
I must be missing a crucial point here.
Photoshop :: Batch Processing Actions In Layers
Jul 18, 2013I've got to submit about 130 images in JPG form to the media department by 1 o'clock today EST.
Â
Basically, this is my setup up in PS CS5. I have a simple graphic (a black decorative border) in its own layer. Below this, I have a mask so that the images below it can peek through the decorative border. The sample below only has 1 image, but in my actual document there are about 130 layers under this mask, each with a different image.
Â
I have to export every single image as a JPG. Not all the images are the same size so I have to turn off all layers, and leave only the layer being exported visible every time.
Â
Is there anyway I can batch this? I don't see how can PS turn on/off layers automatically as it exports.Or how could I have done this differently for future reference?
Photoshop :: CS4 Actions Not Visible Switching Layers
Nov 12, 2012One day, when starting CS4 and working, I noticed that when adding text to an image, while the cursor moves, no text is in fact visible.

As soon as I switch layers, it appears. This also occurs for other actions, where you perform the action, but the effects of that action is not visible until you switch layers, or do SOMETHING else.

Photoshop :: Actions: Copying Layers From One Comp To Another....
Nov 26, 2006Here's what I want to do:
I want to process a series of pics for my photography business and I think I have a way to do a great deal of them with minimum effort. What I want to do is to work on one photo and create a smaller project that I copy and paste my Adjustment layers in. Then, I want an action to go through my queue of pics and copy the layers over, create a blurred layer (for skin touch up) and a sharpened layer. That way, when it's done, all I have to do is open each saved PSD and do touch up as needed.
The problem is that I can't get an action to recognize that I'm dragging a layer over from one comp to another. Is there a way, instead of creating a brand new action for each set of pics, to do what I want to do?

View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Using Tool Recorded Actions To Clone Across Layers
Dec 19, 2012I'm working with a file that has multiple layers that with almost exactly the same content.Â
The subject (car) just changes colors. Â
Â
Let's say that there is a spot I want to clone out on each layer, (shown above as a black smudge) but when I do, the results are somewhat different every time. I'm looking for consistency.Â
Â
Is there a way in CS6 to create a Tool Recorded Action to sample an area on a layer, clone out the ugly, then repeat the process on the layer below?
Â
*The goal here is to sample an area initiated on Layer A (Yellow) and clone out an area on Layer A (Yellow)...
Â
..then use the action to sample the exact same area, but this time sampled from Layer B (Orange) to clone out that same area on Layer B (Orange).
Â
I want to get the same results on every layer so the look on every color is uniform.
Â
I almost got it to work, but my problem occurs when I look at the details of the action.Â
Â
If I could duplicate the steps and change the "Source: layer" to the layer name below, that might do it.
Â
Also I used the shortcut CTRL + [  to "Select backward layer". When I look a the details on this it says "Without Make Visible." Is there a way to do this WITH MAKE VISIBLE?
