I'm a developer, and a lot of times, marketing companies send me some material for their applications in .psd (Photoshop) files. My usage is basic: just open these files, get some layer and export to web images. For this purpose, I bought Photoshop Elements 10, but then I realized (after bought it) that it cannot open grouped layers (only merge all layers in group in a single layer). I'll not discuss about the lack of this basic feature, we already have a lot of noise around it.
My question is: is this limitation still present on PSE 11? Or now I can open grouped layers on psd files?
I have recently ran into a few issues with Photoshop CS6. When working with Layer Groups and Blend Modes.
Here is what happens:
I am working with a document and have layers grouped into a folder. All is good when I merge that group any layers that I had with a blend mode change from that mode to Normal, thus messing up the merge. Another instance where I had this issue is if I had any hidden layers that were not displayed. If the layers were merged they would be changed from hidden to displayed. Again messing up the image and the merge. Not sure what do to here.
I have a single file with couple objects on different layers. When I copy/paste into other files, the objects seem to be grouped and layer information disappeared. Can I move around objects with layer setting as well?
All of my image layers have randomly converted to smart object layers and I can no longer resize them in the ps document. Why would it do this and how can I undo it?
How do I create layers in an adjustment layer and transfer or duplicate those layers in another image ?
I need to transfer the same colour readjustment from one image to several other images ... I have been told to do this in the adjustment layer platform how ever I cannot drag or copy those layers over to the other images I have open and in need of adjustment to the same layers ...
Images shows my layout and what i've done this far
I'm working with both Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 on a mac. I'm creating a graphic. The background is a (cartoonish) mouth and I finished it a couple of days ago. (It's an Illustrator file.) I've been working on the letters to go inside of the mouth, (Once I'm finished it'll look as though they're being crushed.) I scanned and edited small wooden letters in Photoshop, and now I would like to work with them with the background in Illustrator. I understand how to open a Photoshop file in Illustrator, but I don't want to open the document as a separate Illustrator file. Is there a way to open a file from Photoshop as a second layer?
Some of the letters repeat as well. Will I have to create two files for this, or can I open the same file twice?
I'm using Gimp 2.8.6.Try as I might, I'm still trying to figure out how to effectively 'merge' 3 shots of the same scene taken at 3 different exposures (using the exposure bracketing feature on my camera).The idea is to end up with the equivalent of an HDR image.
I assume that I open the first image and then open the other two as layers . .
Windows Explorer set to open image files with PSE11, but when I double click on image in WE it launches PSE11, but I then need to click on Open tab in PSE11 to get it into work window. PSE10 did not have this problem
I am extremely new at Corel Draw X5. I am in the middle of a design; page 30cmx160cm (for printing purposes) however to make it easier my design is sitting 160cmx30cm
I have started the design consisting of 200+ objects. By grouping them i presumed that it would make one object and when I rotated them 90 degrees to fit the page they would rotate in the same they sat originally.
But when I rotate the group it rotates the individual objects on their individual axis not on a group axis.
Is there anyway getting around this without moving each individual object?
I've got quite a few items grouped into a div (images, text and div boxes). However, when I scale the group on the timeline, nothing happens. I'm expecting the whole group to scale but only a blue outline box scales.
To provide some clarity, I have an image of a map with text labels and some boxes that I want to uniformly scale to simulate a pan and zoom effect. I can pan no problem, but am unable to get the content to zoom.
I have a state map that is made up individual vector files of each county in the state. They are grouped together. I want to make it seem as if though there is more space between each of the counties as if there they've all been separated just a little bit more than. Is there a way I can do this efficiently in Illustrator? I'm working in CS 6 on a mac.
I am trying to add several photos to a frame. I just downloaded the free trial of photoshop elements 12, but the entire column labeled 'layer' is disabled. I can't use clipping mask. I am wondering, is this feature disabled because it's a free trial? Do I need to have my photos arranged differently in order for the layer column to be active and usable? Is this a feature that elements does not have?
I've never had this problem before today but I went to duplicate a layer into another photoshop file I have open, and where you select which .psd you'd like it to duplicate into, the open intended target file was not listed. I could either duplicate it in the same .psd, or I could duplicate it into a new file. I've tried restarting, I've checked for updates...

I've been using CS2 Photoshop 9 for some time on an iMac running 10.4.11. all of a sudden, the Layers window will not stay open. It'll open with F7 but as soon as I click on the image I'm working on, the Layers window closes! All the other windows seem to work OK. Did I mistakenly hit something to cause this to happen? It's almost like an automatic window closer.
I can do it by choosing "external editing" and then choosing the photoshop.exe file but by doiing it this way I've lost the sweet possibilitie to open several pictures as layers in Photoshop...
In the link below you will find a jpeg of a sew on patch, then a pdf of just the logo. I am wanting to learn how to create the outline look of the patch around the group of objects that form the logo. I have tried the appearance, outline trick but for thsi project it does not even come close. [URL]
I have a collection of color groups, that I am applying to grouped objects, but every time I change out the color group, it randomizes the order which the colors are applied.
In the kind of bulk work I'm doing, its really turning into an hours burner.
The specific process I'm using (I've tried several different ways with the same result)
1) Draw my art 2) Group the art 3) Create a new color group with my art selected. 4) Double click the color group and recolor. 5) Save the swatches ----- so far so good 6) Double Click a different color group (or select from the Recolor panel) -- here the other color group (swatches) get applied, but every time I do it, the order of which color is applied to
Why can't I just highlight multiple objects and move or resize them together? This wasn't a problem in previous versions, but now when I select more than one clip (or grouped objects), the effect controls go away. I have a lower third (the title and 2 different cropped color mattes) that I want to be able to move and resize while maintaining their relationship, and I can't figure it out. I've been using Premiere for a long time, and this is a huge inconvenience. I also cannot highlight multiple clips, and adjust their length together. Sometimes it will work (rarely), but most of the time it will only adjust one at a time. It's a real nuissance when you have upwards of ten layers you need to adjust together.
I have CS2.I have created a series of layers that I would like to animate. At this point all of these layers are in the form of a psd file within CS2. How can I open this psd file in ImageReady and have access to all of the layers.
When I try it now, I end up only seeing one layer in ImageReady.
