Photoshop :: How To Delete Part Of A Duplicated Layer
Jun 16, 2012
I am learning to make an envelope and the tut calls for me to make little sewed rectangles around the edges which are to be colored red and blue every other rectangle.
Draw the Rectangle > Ctrl + T > Right click > Skew > and then
Ctrl + Alt + T to Duplicate > press right arrow key to move and repeat until the end of the envelope > and then
Duplicate Layer > change color from blue to red
Here is where I am lost:
I am suppose to select every other rectangle and delete them in order for the rectangles to be blue, red, blue red . How to go about doing this and I have been unable to find a solution in faq's or other posts within the forum(s). I'm not even certain how to ask the question so, that may be part of my quest denied
In Inkscape I would just ungroup them so that I could manipulate/delete them as individual shapes and then (if needed) use the rubber band to recollect them and click a regroup button. I cannot seem to find anything similar to this in PS.

how to use the marquee tool to delete the bottom 2/3rds of a rounded rectangle.
Here's what I am doing:
Clicking on the rounded rectangle and drawing it to the size I want
selecting the marquee tool and selecting the area of the rounded rectangle I want to delete.
After I selected the area with the marquee tool, I press delete and instead of the area I selected being deleted, the whole layer is deleted instead.

I'm trying to paint over a picture but I'm painting over it with no opacity (which means yes, I'm painting over the picture invisibly) because I want to be able to see what I'm painting and the paint would block out some parts or "shadows" and contrasts of the image that I might've missed. So the problem here was how bothersome it was getting to constantly switch the opacity bar from 0% to 100% (I need to also see where I'm painting and check over any mistakes). So I thought I could just duplicated the painted layer so I would only have to click the duplicated layer instead of using the opacity bar to switch. But the duplicated layer is only left off to when it was first duplicated. It doesn't show the recent parts that I painted over. I remember taking Computer Graphics once and the teacher mentioning something about duplicating a layer and having that duplicated layer constantly updated to match the original layer (from every mark that is placed on the original layer).
So basically how would I make a duplicated layer update to its original layer every second?

It's a common practice when building layers to duplicate existing layers as a start. Additionally, it is good practice that layer names be meaningful.
Suppose I start with the following layer: layer 1
If I duplicate that layer, it seems reasonable I'd get: layer 2. Instead I get: layer 1 copy
Then if I duplicate again I get: layer 1 copy#1, even though this is copy #2.
I propose the following: An option be available whereby user is queried for name of any layer which is to be generated. This is easier than having to edit automatically generated layer names.If automatic layer names are to be generated, code first checks if previous layer name ends in a sequence of digits. If yes, then these digits are incremented as an integer until a unique layer name is generatedIf the layer name does not end in a sequence of digits, then "#1" is appended to the layer name, and the "1" incremented until a unique name is generated.
So with this algorithm:layer 1 would become layer 2 for a first copy, then layer 3 for a second copy, etc.background would become background#2 for a first copy, then background#3 for a second copy, etc.
The problem with using "copy" in the layer name is that it is probably only in the substantial minority of cases that the newly generated layer is destined to be a true copy, so the automatically generated layer name is very likely inappropriate. Better is to use a simpler, shorter name which applies in a greater fraction of the applications.

this is my problem:
Pic 1. I have an image I want to use as a background, however the image is not complete. I need a part of pic 2 to fullfill it.
Pic 2. The colors around the object doesn't match the colors of Pic 1.
Normally it would be best to cut the object out. However in this case it wouldn't look nice (the object is mixed out (in color) with the rest of the image). If I cut out something the object won't look "proper".
My question:
How can I blend pic 2 on pic 1, using the original object from pic 2 (as it is), and at the same time blend the colors around it, so that it matches that of pic 1 / or simply remove it somehow?

Everyone at the office where I work is having the same problem with AutoCAD 2014:
1. When creating a new layer state, and selecting all layers and clicking "remove from layer state" and then "okay", upon going back into the layer state, about 80% of the layers have returned and you have to select all and delete again and hit okay, and then go back in and do it again, about 7 or 8 times total before the layer state is cleared out and ready for you to add back just the desired layers. Even if you don't create a blank slate layer state to begin with, whatever layers you delete, once you hit okay and go back into the layer state, most of the ones you just deleted are back.
2. Even more of a problem is that sometimes all the already created layer states will suddenly reassimilate ALL layers in the drawing, and the above process has to be done to all existing layer states.
This takes an enormous amount of time to correct for multiple layer states, which we typically have in a drawing.

I have in my project a lot of video clip that I did a slip of the audio track.
If I need to delete one clip, by example in the middle of the project, the audio track corresponding is not deleted...and if I delete it manually, all the other audio track at right do not move to the left...so the audio track and the video clip are not sync anymore.
How can I correctly delete a part of my project?

I recently started using photoshop 7 again, and while messing around with pens, pencils, shapes, vectors, masks, and filters....I messed something up.
When only one layer is left, I can't delete it! There is a icon or symbol to the upper left of the project, which won't go away.
Is this a path? layer? I accidentally pressed "OK" on some screens that I didnt get to read ::slaps forehead::
This is having a profound affect on other things I'm trying to do! This messes up my invert, and some filters....I need to get rid of this mess.
heres a screenshot of it ....

I just started using Xara and have been doing some sketches in Xara Photo & Graphics 7.0 Once I am done my sketch I often want to delete a line (inner line I used to draw but now needs to be deleted to make sketch look right). Is there a way to erase part of a line. If I try to highlight and delete the line I lose the whole thing. I just want to delete part of a line (in the center of the line not at the end of it). So far I have been importing into photoshop and erasing my lines with the eraser tool but it takes so much time!

If I want to make artwork for a clock by drawing a black circle and then putting 12 white lines on it for each hour, how do I then cut out the parts of the circle where the white lines are so that if I put it on a blue background, all I see is a black circle with 12 sections missing where the white lines used to be? CS6, Windows 7.

I have a photograph as my background layer, and then a shape layer on top of that. I want to put a font layer on top of the shape, select the font, and then delete the selection on the shape layer, so whenever I hide the font, the photograph shows through the shape, but every time I do it, no matter the tolerance, the font that is in the shape looks pixelated. I've reset all of my settings, but I'm not sure what to do.

I have a photo open and click on the "Create new fill or adjustments layer" button at the bottom of the Layers panel.
In CS3 I able to create a layer (say Levels) and apply it, then select the eraser tool and delete sections of that adjustment layer that I did not want revealing an unaltered section of the original photo behind it.
I can not seem to do this in CS4. I can add the layer and select the eraser tool but it will not delete anything.

How do I delete work plane 1 from the attached part, 'test derived'?
workflow.
create a part, pattern a plane, save as 'test deriver'
create new part, derive work plane 1 from 'test deriver' sketch onto work plane 1, save as test derived
go back to 'test deriver, delete the pattern and create a new pattern, work plane 2, (i couldnt just edit it because the real life case was a series of patterns at different distances)
open part 'test derived', edit the derived part to include work plane 2, (work plane 1 doesnt exist in 'test deriver' anymore) redefine the sketch onto work plane 2
try to get rid of work plane 1 from the part?

I made a fillet earlier and then continued to work on the part. Now when I try to delete the fillet (to replace it with chamfer) Inventor gives me a box: "delete features" and the middle box can be selected which says "dependent sketches and features". If I check the box and hit ok, some of the unreleated holes and chamfers gets deleted and the fillet I wanted to delete doesn't get deleted. If I uncheck the box, different chamfers and threads dissappear, fillet I wanted to delete stays in place again and yellow box appears on the corner of the part. So what should I do to just delete the fillet and keep everything else?

I recently upgraded my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7 installing a new hard disk in the process.
Before starting I used PSE 6 to backup the catalogue.
I installed Windows 7 on the new disk and copied all my data files (including pictures) from the old HDD.
I then restored the catalog on the new drive after installing PSE 11.
All seemed fine, so I carried on working on my pictures.
Now some weeks later I notices that the restore created duplicates of ALL my pictures, so for example, as well as _MG_0876.CR2, there is also a copy of it called _MG_0876-1.CR2 which is the one that is actually in the catalogue.
This seems really silly at best. If I restore the catalog, the restore should ASK what to do about duplicates, not just create thousands of duplicate files willy-nilly.
The ONLY easy solution to this mess I could find was to delete the entire fiolder structure and restore the backup again, which has resulted in my loosing at least two weeks worth of work in the form of image editing. Going through and manually deleting files in Windows Explorer just wasn't an option.
The manual doesn't mention that this will happen at all.
1. What is the recommended procedure?
2. Why isn't this described in the manual?
3. Why doesn't the restore ASK what to do with duplicates?

I recently had my computer reformatted and notice that following Photoshop Elements reinstall and catalog restore all my photos have been duplicated in the Adobe/digital photos folder. I have read that this is due to my computer tech restoring all photos in the original folder structure prior to me executing the catalog restore (I should have done my research first). My question is what can I do now to eliminate the duplicates? Do I delete all photos and the Adobe folders or is there an alternative?

I'm trying to delete a unused layer. But when I do that I get the following error (see attachment). I googled a bit and figured out that the LAYDEL command might solve my issue, but as I'm using Autocad 2013, that's not possible, as it doesn't have this command..
The block that causes the error can also be deleted, I tried with the purge command, but must be doing something wrong cause it didn't work. With regard to the purge command, I see it this way (attachment 2), how can you display it in a window kind of view to get a better overview?

I want to delete a layer in a banner. I am a novice with gimp and looked to a tutorial to find out how. It says:
Go to File > Dialogs > Choose Layers or just hit CTRL-L. This opens up the Layers Dialog (or window).
The problem is there is no dialogue option in file. I do not know what to do.
