I just purchased Photoshop CS2 and I noticed the linking feature for layers has been changed. I used to be able to link layers together by clicking in th box with the chain link, but now that box is gone. I did notice there is the link symbol at the bottom of the layers palette, but it's constantly disabled. How do I link layers in CS2?
View 1 RepliesI create a photo consisting of several layers and then I want to move the whole thing over to another photo.
There has to be a way to link the layers so that I don't have to move them over one by one and then have to try to reposition them again.
I don't want to flatten the layers as I want to be able to move them around if I need to later.
When I go to the link layers icon at the bottom of the palette it won't let me choose it.
I have to add an object to an exsisting image that has lets say 30-40 layers. In doing so, I have to move the entire image up or down, so I have to link all the layers to move it up or down. I can't merge the layers, because I have to use the same image several ways, so is there a quick way to "link all" layers, move, then "unlink all" layers in Photoshop 7??
I know that Select-All layers doesn't do the trick.
I work on a lot of files with 4-6 layers each, and then need to link them to create layer sets, to move them onto other files, where I combine the whole lot (we have a photographic studio, so it's for multiple images in wedding 'books' rather than separate photographs in albums).
I deal with hundreds of files a week, so I'm trying to automate it as far as possible. I've got most of it sorted, but I can't find any command or shortcut to link all of the layers. Is there one? For now, I've set up an action that links each individual layer and then creates the set, but that only works when I've got the same number of layers each time.
I am wondering if there is a way to create an adjustment layer that only affects two layers that are spread apart. What I'd like to be able to do is change the color of both layers at the same time.
The problem is, I can't group the layers together and add an adjustment to the group because one of the layers (Number Color Flare) has to stay on top of the rest.
I would like to add an adjustment layer to a photoshop CS2 file that has an effect on a particular layer rather than all of the layers. I have tried adding the adjustment layer from the icon at the bottom of the layers palette, from Layers, New adjustment layer, and I have also tried linking the two layers. In all cases the adjustment made applies to the whole image. I am sure that previous versions of Photoshop had this facility.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working with Illustrator files that have psd images placed in them. Each image has a shadow that is a separate image placed into illustrator on separate layer. So what I end up with is "image" layer and a "shadow" layer with their respective images in them. What I would like to do without having to group these is somehow linking images on separate layers so that when I move one the other moves as well.
I know that this isn`t a very logical way of managing these objects and if I could I would do it differently but it is a work method that is implemented and I have to abide to.
I am using Civil3D 2013. I was wondering if there was a way to link your dwg to a master dwg file? For example, if i were to copy the dwg into folder A and copy a dwg into folder B. I would then update the master dwg with either a layer color change or linetype or add a layer / label etc, could those changes from the master be (linked) or a child or the parent master dwg? Or does this work with dwts?

I've tried to link and paste and I can't get multiple layers highlighted to link. As a work around, I've copied them and merged them and then copied and pasted the single layer -- overall not a pleasant solution.

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:
Any Extension that Links Smart objects. Much the same way you would link in InDesign or Illustrator?
I used to use one in CS4 'Smart Objects Link Panel',but since upgrading to CC I cannot use this extension.
or to edit a layer property like gradient overlay from 2 layers at the same time?

I am having real difficulty linking the base human to the gnou CAT rig, so that the gnou can walk with the human sat on top with realistic movement. I have tried using a link constraint from the pelvis which doesn't work and I've tried using IK. Either way I cannot get the pelvis to link to the spine of the gnou.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen you start a new drawing, you use a DWT
When you insert a pagesetup/layout, you use a DWT
When you insert anything else (like your default layers into an existing drawing), you use DWG.
However, in the described case... the DWG would basically be the same as the DWT (as it would be your default layer setup, or have your company styles etc), so you would create the DWG by going to new and then save immediately.
What bothers me about this is that you then basically have two files... which should be one file - or at least they should be linked: version control.
How do I make sure, non-manually, that the "template DWG" and the "template DWT" are the same, remain the same etc? Or how do I eliminate one of the two?
AutoCAD Mechanical has the "Drawing Setup" utility to import a DWT - am I just overlooking a similar option in Vanilla?

I just reconnected my harddive and opened this project to render it and now the files are not linking. I may have saved it while it was unlinking, would that prevent me from relinking the files now?
View 6 Replies View RelatedPicture this:
I have a project: project.vsp
I have a file: d:file.avi
I click on "project.vsp" the program starts and i should just be able to render it.
However
The file ("d:file.avi") is frequently rerendered. It has the same resolution, and duration, but the content is new.
Every time i click on "project.vsp" I am told that d:file.avi is missing (even though it isn't) and I have to relink it or skip.
Isn't there some way to just get the program to load the file without bugging me?
It seems if i go to preferences and uncheck the relink setting, the program will instead just skip the file and not load it - which is not desirable..
