Photoshop :: Layer Pallete Always Closed By Default
Nov 18, 2008I've question. On my CS4 the layer palette is always closed when I open CS4. Is there some way to set it to stay open? I tried to save a personalised workspace but it does not help.
I hope you know what I mean. It's a real pain since I work with layers a lot and I'm used to having the layer palette open right away. It's useless to have it closed anyway since there is not space to be gained down right where it usually sits.
Photoshop :: Wierd Color Picker/Pallete Discrepency
Jan 17, 2007I've noticed that my color pallete seems to give a wierd blue-green tint to everything that isn't solid white or solid black. I know that if I deselect the proof colors option that the image I'm working on acquires the tint. Which is another thing, all of the sudden Photoshop has decided that it doesn't want to keep the color proofing on all the time. What's odd about all this is it's just started happening today and I don't believe I've done anything to cause it. 'Elp, I'm being oppressed by Photoshop!

View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Actions Stopped Working After Downloading More Actions
Aug 31, 2004I downloaded a couple of actions from the web to my actions palette and they worked fine, but then I got greedy and downloaded a few more and that’s when things went south. Now none of the actions work - by not working I mean when I mouse over the Play Selection icon at the bottom of the action palette I get that little circle with a line through it. This happens with the PS default actions as well (I also get the circle on the Stop Playing/Recording and Begin Recording icons).
Somewhere in the following is probably what messed things up.
I downloaded actions to my computer in zip files. Copied them over to the actions folder (or somewhere) and unzipped them. I went back to the actions palette and hit “load actions” and loaded them. On the second set of actions that I downloaded I remember thinking “why am I copying and pasting these files - I bet I should cut and paste them, so I did and that may have been the start of the great crumble of 2004. PhotoShop help says: (under Saving and loading actions) “Actions are automatically saved the the Actions Palette folder in PS7.0 Settings folder. If this file is lost or removed, the actions you created are lost”.
I have searched for the settings folder and couldn’t find it, but the actions still show up on the actions palette - they just don’t run.
I’m a little fuzzy on the details on the above steps. In fact, I probably did something different on each download.
one more thing, I reloaded PhotoShop, but still nothing.
Photoshop :: How To View All Actions In Actions Panel
Nov 24, 2013My computer crashed and I removed all apps and reinstalled so now none of my actions appear. However I do have a backup file of all of them and want to reinstall but before when I was using cs6 ( Im assuming same thing as CC as it was all on the subscription plan ) I would click actions then the right arrows and it would bring me a big screen of all the actions ( even the ones that were just preloaded in ps ) and it was a big box with all the actions and some options to record etc...Now that box isn't there and it's just a single column drop down menu.

Photoshop :: Actions: Where I'm Putting My Actions
Nov 17, 2006I like to put my actions somewhere special on my hardrive, not in apps folder.
Now, in past, when I saved actions CS2 would "remember" where this folder was, making real easy to save.
Lately, it keep defaulting to save as in the app folder-- even though I did navigate to my special area on last save as.
Photoshop :: Actions In CS6
Feb 19, 2013I am currently trying to find a faster way to create the images I use for our website at work. We sell phone cases with lots of different printed designs on but all of the actual surrounds of the cases are the same, either in Black or White.
I have created a Black and a White template and kept the front, back and side shots of the phone case on separate layers so they can later be manipulated as needed. I have all of the 'design inserts' saved as separate files which then need to be pasted into the templates (in between certain layers) and saved (one for each case colour).
I am wondering if there is an action or a way in Photoshop that I can set it to import the design into the template, then save the design, then import the next design and save, and so on and so forth? As we have well over a hundred designs and creating the images manually can take a very long time.
I have attached images of a template, a design and how I need it to look after.

Aug 19, 2009I have created an action to prepare images for web posting. The action resizes images, sharpens them, adds a frame writes into the frame my contact details and lastly adds the name of the subject (location, or person's name) and then outputs the image to the correct folder. Typically I run the batch on a folder of say 30-40 images at a time.... sometimes upto 100. All run from either bridge or as a droplet via Lightroom. The action works great... except that each batch I run it on the "subject name" I need to insert is different. Is there any way at all to get the action to prompt me for just that bit of information. I've tried checking/ticking the dialog on/off option for the text field in the actions pallet and that works, but... when I'm applying the action to a batch of images it asks for the text EVERY time and doesn't remember what I typed in last time. At the moment, the solution I have is to open one image that I want to run the batch on. Make a copy of the action and enable a stop before the text prompt... run the script to that point. Then run/edit the text line, remove/disable the stop. If necessary create a new droplet. I can then go over to bridge or Lightroom and process the images using the new action. Ideally the what I would like to hapen when I'm running an action like this is when processing the FIRST image in the batch for PS to ask me what text I want and then use that same text on all the other 30 or 40 images.

Jun 22, 2007i have about 100 photo cds with 80 to 100 images on each...i have copied each one to a dedicated external drive for storage and access...i would like to convert each cd (folder) to 16 base at 300dpi
to access an image now for photoshop, i have to process each image through graphic converter...
what is the "action" required to to batch convert these folders (retaining the cd number as well as image number: i.e., PCD245_001, PCD245_002, etc)...? presently, the images are tagged: IMG0001.PCD, IMG0002.PCD, etc.
Photoshop :: Actions
Jun 7, 2006trying to create an action which moves a particular item to a certain place every time, and then resizes. This place must be absolute, as I need it to be the same on a variety of images. The problem is whenever I try to use the move command, it uses a relative position. Is there anyway I can tell an object to move to the same place every time?

Mar 17, 2004I use Photoshop 7 on a laptop with 900 mghz and 128 ram. Using actions along with batch processing my goal is to open a folder, and, in no particular order, apply the crop tool, levels, curves, and save for web.
Problem is I can't individually apply curves, crop, levels or save for web without batch processing coming to a stop. All files don't require generic applications. When contructing action I've inserted a stop with and without the "allow continue" option and still the batch processing stopped.
Is this manipulation of the action command not combatible with the batch processing command? Do I need to break action into several actions?
Photoshop :: PS CS Actions
Jun 23, 2005I have just discovered 'actions' in CS and started to use them to place a frame around some pics BUT one of the actions 'Recessed Frame' has me beaten & confused.
When I play the action I recieve the following messages:-
The command duplicate is not currently available. (and the others saying that others are not currently available) 'set, delete, set (again)' then the message 'warning no pixels were selected' and again currently not available, 'delete, channel frame edge' and at the end of all this I have a totally black picture area.

May 16, 2008I want to do a simple thing - create a frame around my picture. The Help directions in the product are so ridiculous in that you cannot follow them. They tell you to look for Photo Frame which does NOT exist, then etc., etc. I've tried exploring Actions, reading all the help - the whole thing makes no sense.

Mar 12, 2005Is it possible for someone to give me the short run down on how to do the following with an action? It doesn't have to be batch-applied to a bunch of files. I'd just manually apply it to the files I wanted.
1. Converts from INDEXED to RGB Mode
2. Creates a new HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer with a setting that would turn the file from say, red to blue
3. Save the file in the same format the original was (preserving transparency) and naming the file in the following manner:
original file : top_left_red.gif
new file name : top_left_blue.gif
I could then either modify this action or create a new one that could do the same but apply an orange/green/purple/teal HUE/SAT adjustment and naming convention instead. This would save me a great deal of work and time.

May 4, 2004Is there an in-depth Tutorial online that will help me create actions of my own...I can find very basic tuts only.
Due to the basic tuts I can now make an action, but I want to extend this knowledge further such as entering the instruction test boxes, and for another example, creating a new document that has the dimensions from the windows clipboard.

May 17, 2012I just read that the easiest way was to save the Actions in CS5 in a specific folder then go to CS6 and load the individual Actions. Sounds easy, however I can't get past the first step. Photoshop won't let me save the Actions in SC5. What can I do?
View 11 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: CS6 Actions Recording Bug?
Oct 22, 2012I upgraded to CS6 two weeks ago and so far I haven't recorded a single action that has not been EFFED UP in some way! I'll record the action on a test file, but when I run it on another file or a batch of files it will have at least one bizarre mistake...like the saturation will be set to 100%...or a channel in Selective Color might be set to -78%...or the opacity of a layer will be 100% instead of whatever lesser value I set it to when I recorded the action! I check the test file and it is always fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Edit Actions In CS5.1?
Sep 28, 2012 I'm trying to edit an action. I'm trying to change how I move something. I'm using a mac, I've tried clicking on the specific item in the action and hitting record; NO JOY.
Â
I've tried selecting 'record again', but NO JOY. When I click on 'record again', it quickly goes to reord, then out of record and then it's back to normal as if it wasn't recording. I've put in a lot of work on this action it's a shame.
Â
The action itself, is placing an image as a watermark, then moving it down and centre, slightly editing the image with effects, then finally flattening the image. Auto colour tone etc.
