Photoshop :: Moving From Comp To CSS Web Layout?
Sep 29, 2008
how designers take their Photoshop comps to a CSS-based layout. With CSS-based layouts, web pages are composed of a combination of foreground (standard) and background (CSS) graphics. I'm curious how designers get those images out of Photoshop and into a web authoring environment (be it Dreamweaver, GoLive or Notepad :-).
1. Do you make a selection, copy, create a new file and use the Save for Web feature?
2. Do you slice up the comp for both foreground and background images and then choose Save for Web?
3. Do you use a combination of 1 and 2?

I am animating comps in After Effects CS6, and I'm quickly moving objects across the screen using positioning keyframes and changing size using scaling keyframes. Most of the time it works great; but sometimes the motion blur effect keeps appearing *after* the object has stopped moving. Not just for a second -- but forever. It appears correct when scrubbing on the timeline, but when I render the final output movie, a non-moving object sometimes has motion blur all over it.
Sometimes I can fix it by un-parenting some layers inside the comp... other times it doesn't fix it. Sometimes I just delete it and start over and it works. Seems more like a bug then something I'm doing wrong.
I also tried on my Mac Pro tower and Macbook Pro laptop in case it was a graphics card issue; it isn't, the exact same problem manifests itself in both areas. I did just discover that turning continuous raster OFF does seem to fix the problem--but then my vector images are blurry when I zoom in... and that again sounds more like a bug, not like an incorrect setting.

I've imported the PSD file as a comp, and made changes to the text animation, but this is now a nested comp, and the music is in the main comp. How do I change the timing of the nested comp while still having visibility of the music track?

I have comp A (imported from PS) that's a rectangle background with text & lines above it - which is inside comp B.
While on B I'm reducing the opacity of A from 100 to 0, normally over 10 frames, and the text and lines' opacity goes down normally... except the rectangle background! It's opacity is staying the same during the first 9 frames and then going from 100 to 0 in the last one.
As an experiment I replaced that PS layer with a solid from AE and it works fine. The whole comp's opacity reduced gradually from 100 to 0 over 10 frames.
What causes some layers to behave as described above?

I have two files. I messed one up I was using the solview method (I hear that method is outdated...) Anyway, I digress... and I rotated the model in the model tab creating quite a mess.
Unfortunately, the layout associated with that file, is gorgeous. (ok, I'm biased.)
I went looking around my flash drive, through the good graces of win explorer, and I found a file another file of the same project that was in better condition, because, the position of the model hadn't been moved. There is no layout associated with this file.
However, I need to get the first layout over to this file. I thought of using the Autodesk Design Center (ADC) <---keyboard alias --- So, I did, but it wouldn't import the layout. It imported layout #2 which is just a copy of the model; which I don't need.
It did say that it wouldn't import the titleblock, which is a block which was ignored. But everything I've drawn is *not* a block.
So, how do I get that layout over to the other file, that has the good model?

For some reason our layout tabs keep re-arranging themselves. All of a sudden our sheet 2 ( or what ever) is between tabs for sheets 35 & 36 (or where ever it wants to be).
we use tabs because 45 sheets of images require never ending scrolling. the current tab is never the image shown....they always start at the 1st tab?
when you are on sheet 40 and want to go to 44.....scroll .

I'm finding a really strange and inconsistent bug when managing my Layer Comps. I am dependent on Layer Comps, they're behaving inconsistently in CS6.
When manoeuvering between Layer Comps, the updates I'm making to save a Layer Comp and move on to another are SOMETIMES not working. I set a comp, move to another, go BACK to the original one and it's messed up.

Here'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?

I'm working with a .jpeg-logo that came for a different application.
I opened it in Photoshop 7.0, did a little lightening and cropping, and was going to save it again as it was.
But when trying to save it back I can't seem to be able to do that in the excact same compression format as the original. Whatever way I choose, the box with jpeg-properties pops up. It defaults at quality "5" which gives a marginally smaller filesize but noticeably less visual quality. When putting it at "6" it looks about the same as the original, but not entirely right and at a larger filesize.
Is there no way to just edit it and save it back, without messing with the compression?

I want to select part of an image with just one layer. Say I just flattened the image and have to move one part of. I select it with the rectangular select tool. It seems intuitive that I could then just move what I selected, but when I drag the selection, the selection itself moves without moving what is inside the selection.
If I then remember to click the move tool and try to move what's in the selection (seems to work sometimes, maybe when there's multiple layers?) the entire image moves.
The only way I can move part of the image over is if I make a selection and then cut it (ctrl X) then paste it.
How am I supposed to move part of the flattened image, is there a way I can set it to default to "When I select something, I can immediately drag that selected area around."

My AE comp renders as a full-length video of a black screen (with audio, when enabled). Comp plays fine in RAM preview, and I've tried all types of codecs and disabling RAM intensive effects, though I'm working on a quad-core i7 macbook pro with 8 gigs of RAM, so that shouldn't be a problem.

For a project, I've imported a jpeg file that I made on Photoshop. The colors look perfectly fine on the RAM previews and stuff but after I render it, just that specific jpg image comes washed out. It should be dark grey / almost black but after rendering into .mov that image becomes medium grey. It's noticeably more washed out and lighter. All the other colors in that image are also noticeably lighter as well.
I have set my working space to my monitors color profile and I have proofed the colors after saving on Photoshop.

I have a AE Comp (1280x720 Square Pixels) in a Premiere Pro timeline (HDV 720p, 1280x720) through Dynamic Link. In my timeline everything is fine and the same size. When I render the timeline in PP it stays the same size, everything is a lovely 720. However, when I export it as a H.264 using Media Encoder the AE comp shrinks to what looks to be 480p. The rest of the text and video in the timeline stays 720, but the AE comp shrinks and has a black box letterbox around it.
I was able to export from AMC with a Quicktime preset of 720p 24fps and it did not shrink. Additionally I bypassed AMC and exported directly from PP and the comp did not resize.
PP CC v7.0.0
AE CC v12.2.0.52
AMC CC v7.2.0.43

The current time indicator won't move to end of comp in AE CS6. I setup a new comp at 10 seconds. When I drag the current time indicator OR hit the End key to bring the current time indicator to the end of the comp it stops at a value of 9:23. Is this a bug?

I have 6 layers in a comp, and I'm taking them across, via copy/paste, to another comp. Each second layer is an Alpha channel for the one below it. However when they're pasted into the next comp they ALWAYS are reversed, or randomly resorted, ruining everything about their blends and alpha relationships with one another.
Why does After Effects do this? Is there a way to prevent it from happening?
This doesn't just happen in this instance, I've noticed it nearly always happening when pasting multiple layers.

I have two compositions on a page and I identify them within the AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback. As soon as the user scrolls to the first animation I want to start it with an external call (compId.play()). If this is the only composition on the page it does work correctly. But as soon as the second one is added to the page it doesn't play at all. If I trigger the first animation via the console (e.g. compId.play(1000)) the animation jumps to the 1000 ms mark but then it stops immediately and doesn't play on.

I'm attempting to create a dynamic link from PR to AE (both CC) by right clicking on the desired clip in my PR sequnce and selecting "Replace with AE Comp". Doing so properly launches AE, asks me to save the AE project, and creates a comp with the correct parameters (duration, frame rate, size, etc) with the desired comp name. The sequence in PR shows the linked comp with the correct comp name. However, in both AE and PR the video clip is simply black. In my understanding of Dynamic Link, the original files (clips) should be sent over to the AE project. In my case, I only see the project with no associated files. Is there a trick (or a known reason) why the files would not be transpored to the AE project?

I am going to try a cd layout. When I open the templates in Photoshop 7 do I have to choose 300 dpi (the same dpi required for the images I have saved); make all the same choices as I have to for the images, (ie) CYMK, 5x5 inches, 300 dpi etc.? When I have the template open, what is the best way to bring the image to the template?
Is the template considered a layer? Do you always see the template through the image as you are working with layers? What is the easiest way to start another layer? How do you save each layer? How do I make my jpg become a photoshop file? Some of these Qs might be dumb but if you can answer them I may be able to fly.
