Photoshop :: Limiting Effect / Adjustment To Transparent Layer Group?

Oct 1, 2011

I am working with a lot of layers in PS and frequently I need certain adjustments to affect each transparent layer in the group without affecting any groups underneath. Is there a way to do so without resorting to masks? In other words is there a way to group adjustments with particular groups rather than with particular layers?

Photoshop :: Baking Adjustment Layer To All Layers In Group?

Dec 1, 2011

I have 20+ layers that all need the same levels adjustment, so I put them in a group, and applied a Levels Adjustment Layer to the group.

Is there a way to bake that adjustment in to every individual layer, while retaining them as separate layers?

Photoshop :: Applying Adjustment To A Group Of Layers

Nov 16, 2005

I'm doing an animation for a progress indicator. Basically I have a set of 72 spokes, and I'm using sub-set of these spokes with varying transparency to show the underlying gray layer through.

I've seperated each spoke into 72 different layers, and I'm then manually adjusting each one for each frame.

The effect works great, but I've decided that I would like to apply an adjustment to all of the spokes to adjust their color balance. I've got an adjustment layer, but this is affecting my gray layer underneath.

I've tried layer sets, linking layers and grouping, but none seem to allow me to apply an adjustment to a group of layers. I'm using Photoshop 7.

Photoshop :: Reversed B&W Adjustment Layer / Export Color Channel To Layer

Mar 1, 2012

What I want to do is to have an adjustment layer that is a reversed, black and white image.  I initially thought to merge B&W and reverse adjustment layers, but read that an adjustment layer may not be the target of a merge.  Is the way to accomplish this to fiddle with the B&W adjustment layer sliders somehow?
 
I like how the black and white displayed image of a given color channel looks, how can I export that channel into a layer?

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer To Affect More Than One Layer / But Not All?

Dec 16, 2011

I'm familiar with adjustment layers and clipping masks, but am wondering if there's a way to have an adjustment layer affect a group of layers below it, but not all of them. (Usually you have a choice of having it affect either JUST the layer beneath it (through a clipping mask), or ALL of the layers beneath it.

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer Or Background Layer?

Mar 31, 2006

When you open an image with adjustment layers, what determines what is selected, the background or the adjustment layer? It seems sometimes it's one or the other, and I don't know the logic. Personally I would prefer that the image always opens with the background layer selected.

Photoshop :: Applying Effect To One Group?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use Layer Group Filters For Layer Translation (LAYTRANS)?

Oct 2, 2013

A drawing with hundreds of layers should be simplified for our customer by decreasing the numbers of and renaming the layers (there is yet no target file existing). In order to solve this, I generated group filters and assigned every single layer to them (all printing properties are assigned to objects). The layer groups show the desired layer structure after the transformation (still a three-digit number).

Unfortunately, the LAYTRANS dialog doesn't let me choose layers by group filters or remarks. It seems as all the work was for the birds.

Is there any way to translate my layers using filters or remarks?

I use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010.

Illustrator Scripting :: Write A Script That Renames A Layer And Group Within The Layer?

Jul 25, 2013

I'm trying to write a script that renames a layer, and group within the layer, then an object within the layer (but not a part of the group) and have it run in a loop.
 
Here's what I've got so far, the group rename doesn't work.
 
 #target Illustrator 
var doc = app.activeDocument;
 idLayers(doc)//IRename layers
idGroups(doc)//Rename groups
 function idLayers(doc){

[code]....
 
I haven't put in anthing to rename the single object yet since I cant even get the group rename to work. I suspect that the group re-name section isn't working because I'm either using bad syntax or an invalid command.

I see how to resize images by change the pixels or dimensions but is there a way to limit the file size?  For example, when submitting images for review some organizations set a limit on the size of the file, i.e, files may be now larger than 5MB.  Other than byt trial and error is there a way to set a file size limit?

GIMP :: Align Single Layer In A Layer Group?

Jun 7, 2013

Why can't I align a single layer that is inside a layer group? The align tool would always select the top most layer group as the 'boundary' for alignment, thus automatically selecting the whole layers inside of it and align them as a group.

Is this a bug or just GIMP's weakness? It definitely reduces the layer group's usefulness.

Illustrator :: Transparent Gradient On A Group Of Objects?

Oct 30, 2012

I've created a heart using many strokes (like a child would do with crayons). So it's made up of many lines grouped together. I've expaned the stroked lines, so they are now a group of objects in a heart shape. I need to fade them from 100% red to 100% transparent. I don't know how to do this with a group of items.

Im creating a layout in CMYK and have a brigthness/contrast layer above my artwork. Once I merge the layers together (save it as TIFF) the contrast is not the same and I cant get the same color/contrast effect when I do it in flattened image. Any ideas how to solve this problem?I was thinking of taking screenshots of the "pre-merged" layout and putting it together but its a rather large file...

3ds Max :: Limiting Number Of Cores Which Are Used During Rendering

Oct 4, 2011

Is there a way to limit the number of cores which are used by MR during rendering ? I know that I can switch from multi-core to single-core rendering in max configuration but can I ask MR to use only 6 of the 8 cores available in my CPU ?

The purpose is to be able to use the same computer for other tasks waiting for MR rendering to complete (during some test rendering for example), because when all cores are used it's quite impossible to do something else on the same computer.

Photoshop :: CS6 Adjustment Layer Interface (vs CS3)?

Nov 14, 2012

In CS3, my workhorse editor until recently, when I double clicked an adjustment layer it opened up the initial settings window. There I was able to tab browse through the variables, make whatever adjustments I wanted, hit enter, and live happily ever after. I haven't been able to figure out how do do this in CS6, which has the 'properties' panel for making changes to adjustment layer settings.
 
The question: Can CS6 be set to behave like CS3 in this respect?

Photoshop :: Difference Between New And Adjustment Layer?

Feb 15, 2012

1) I'm not clear about when I should use an ordinary "new layer" and when an "adjustment layer"; are there instances when either will work and others when only one will; and

2) I think I've come across something funny about using an opacity setting: Say I've used one of the brush tools and, then, toned things down by lowering the opacity. I then go on to save the photo and quit PE. Well, when I open that photo again, the opacity comes already set as it was before. I find this confusing, especially if I go on to do something else involving opacity. Somehow it makes more sense to me to always begin fresh at "100%".

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer Linking

Oct 21, 2013

I'm almost finished with a project, but like always at the end something has to go wrong.

So I'm trying to make this sort of portal (based on a videogame).

I got the portal like I want it to be, but when I link the Color Balance effect to the Portal layer (so that it only effects that layer) the color just disappears, leaving me with a white portal.

But it needs to be done, otherwise it effects my other layers to and turn everything red.

When I link layers this happens:

But if I don't, it of course turns everything red:
