Photoshop :: Nonlinear Edits/history
May 5, 2006
way to use the history nonlinearly, like how you can modify something you did earlier in Maya and it will propagate the changes forward. Similarly it would be cool if I could do some stuff, stamp it onto a layer (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+e), then go back and make some changes without losing my stamp. I know I could just copy it to another document but it'd be nice if I didn't have to. I'm assuming I would know about this if it existed but I figured I would check anyway. It is really useful in Maya and I'm wondering why Photoshop doesn't have something like it after 15+ years of development.

I am trying to learn layers and layer masks. I loaded an image, than control J to duplicate it. I then added a layer mask. Everything good so far. I then went to filters chose a blur. Then went to brushes with black as my foreground color, I just wanted to brush away the blur, and got an error message. "could not use the history brush because the history state does not have a corresponding layer."

Everytime I try to use my history brush, that error pops up and I have no clue why. If I try to just open a blank document and use the brush it does not give me this error and I can "use" the brush but you cant see anything on the project.
so when this error happens im trying to do a project and say I place a file(picture) into the project and this is the very first thing I do. I place it, then I size the image down some. I then make a new layer to use the brush for behind the picture and then this is when I get the error. I have no clue what is wrong

I can only see how to delete the entire history in the history panel. Is there a way I can remove only selected states? I am using LR 1.4.

I have a new Win7 x64 build with CS6 and ACR 7.3 installed, and have a problem with ACR not saving settings properly after the "Done" button is selected. In the past when I work in Bridge, open a NEF (raw) file, edit it in ACR, then hit "Done", when I return to Bridge the changes are reflected in the thumbnail. They are not showing now and the file looks the same as it did originally. Oddly, the round icon at the top right of thumbnails in Bridge are present as expected. When I try to view the same NEF file in a third-party thumbnail app (Faststone) or in Windows Explorer I also see no change. Thus, I have concluded that the problem lies with ACR.
Some notes:
1. While in ACR if I click on "Save Image" and save as a DNG the changes take effect in the resulting file for all apps.
2. When I edit a raw file in ACR and select "Done" the icon on the top right of Bridge thumbnails are present as they should be.
3. I have CS6 (x86 version) with the same version of ACR installed in another machine (XP Pro x86) and ACR works as expected there.
I tried to engage Adobe tech support and after multiple calls, call-backs, and about an hour of wasted time they continue to force me into a callback procedure. When they call I'm not here, so when I call them and must start again at square one. This problem makes it very difficult to edit a large amount of raw files in Bridge.

I just activated my trial edition with a serial number. Now, when I open an image the cursor becomes a stop sign (circle with slash line through it).
Not sure that activation caused this, but I cannot edit my images.

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6? I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.

I've edited a picture of an old house.... made it look like it was taken in the 1920's. Love the way it looks, I used multiple tools... gradient overlays, noise, sepia tones....on and on..... Now I want to take every action I used from my layers pallet and apply them to the next 20 photos. I'm using CS3

Having problems with my preferences when saving edited files. In the save as menu the options to "save in version set with original" and the "Thumbnail option" is grayed out and won't allow selection.
I have been to edit-preferences but neither of those options are given.

I know how to "edit in" Photoshop... but, ever since my upgrade to LR4, the file transfers un-edited. In LR3 it would transfer with the LR adjustments.

I am working with PS CS6 and smartobjects. I do a lot of advanced batch editing.
I have an issue I have failed to find an answer to.
When working with a smartobject-image in PS, and going back again into ACR to to some adjustments on RAW file, and then back into PS, the updated adjustments I did on the RAW file shows in PS, but is NOT saved in ACR.
This is an issue for me, since I need to copy RAW settings and apply to many other RAW images. The way I work I may need to go back many times into ACR from PS to adjust the RAW file, I can not know the final edit the first time when opening the RAW file from ACR.
As it is now, the only time ACR remembers the edits I do on the RAW file is the inital first time edit which is applied before the file is opened as a smartobject into PS.
How can I get ACR to remember the edits I do when re-opening the RAW file from a smartobject in PS??

.cr2 files... i open them in either Bridge or Photoshop to the ACR panel, make changes, click DONE. when i reopen them to, say, make futher changes or process a whole bunch of files, all settings are back to default, all adjustments forgotten. this seems to happen often, but NOT always. weird.
using MAC 10.6.8 photoshop CS6 with latest updates installed.... this has happened for awhile, though...

I cleared out my cache folders from Premire Pro and Encore recently. Now when ever I'm in Photoshop I am consistently getting the spinning pinwheel on very simple edits.
Example, I open a very small JPG, and add a box to it. Just dragging the box, I will get a spinning pinwheel. I don't get it on any other applications.

What I want is when I open a file in Photoshop (I have LR5 and Photoshop CS5) and make more than one edit, each additional edit shows up in LR without having to close and reopen to edit. I had it set up that way on my old computer and laptop, so that whenever I would "save as" it would add the new edit to my LR catalog. But I am just setting up a new computer I got and it will save the first edit for me in LR but any additional edits don't show up.

History states in Photoshop can be a life saver, they can be set up through PS preferences and managed through the history palette.
how many history states do you work with?
At the moment I'm working with 30.

The tolerance feature of art history brush tool is explained in the reference as following:
"A high tolerance limits paint strokes to areas that differ considerably from the color in the source state or snapshot"
When I try to use this tool on a image's original state (no difference with the history state) with the 100% tolerance setting, some of the areas can be brushed.
So, I'm a little bit confused about the function of the "tolerance" slider.

Is there something like a plug-in that keeps track of the steps you make while doing a project? So when I look at an image a month later,I can look at the steps to remember how I pulled it off?

Is there an easy way to delete several of the History lines all at once without getting rid of all the History.
I've been dragging each line to the trash bin but it's slow going if you have a lot to get rid of.

I am doin a flipping of pages, you know when you lick your finger, grap the tip of the page and flip it over, lifting the page from its original flat position, in photoshop using the warp tool and image readywindow-animation.)
Now i have a few pages which look real enough to be seen as a flip.
I was wondering if there was a way to copy the warp tools deformation history of each position/stance to use on another layer, so all pages have more or less the same flipping technique applied to it?

I am using Photoshop CS3 for a photography class. I was playing around with the Filters and Image Adjustments of one of my photos and my teacher really liked it. I thought I remembered what I did, but when I tried to replicate the result with another photo it didn't seem the same.
I saved the first one as a photoshop image. Is there any way I could find a history of exactly what I did to that first photo so that I can do it again to other photos?

I have an image with a long history palette. I have been working with a burn tool. Accidentally I bumped the keyboard, and up comes the image with a new History State, just the Burn Tool with the History Brush. one line. I have none of the others. So, I dump that one in the garbage can. Slight name change but still the Burn Tool Histoy State. I notice the same statement on a second bar at the top, and the same bar having the minimize etc buttons. So, I click the lower bar, now I have an image with all the history states. I save the History state version and exit that screen. Now when I open the History tab, it opens behind the image! I reopen the saved History State image, same thing. All I can do is save the work, exit PS and start it again. The behavior is normal now, but of course minus the history states.

how to use Photoshop CS3 for Macs, which had a history palate on the right side of the screen. It was way easy to undo and redo steps and it was super convenient to have. I recently downloaded Photoshop CS4 for my Windows laptop, and it doesn't have a history palate on the screen! It's been driving me crazy because I used it all the time on CS3.Does anyone know if CS4 for Windows has a history palate, and if so, how to get it onto my main screen?
