Achieve visible layers through the layers above them

I can't understand this. In Photoshop CC if I do a new adjustment layer, it blocks the effect of the layers beneath it. How can I get the effects of the other layers are visible? For example, if I copy the background layer to clone a default and then add a layer of burning somewhere, can't do them as well to show up--according to what is on top, that's what shows. I tried the merger, put them in a group, etc., and the same problem is there.

I of course forget something obvious, right?

Ed Merrin

It seems that you want to burn in an area on the dupe layer in which you had cloned on an object. You want to burn it on a separate layer. If this is the case:

Add an empty layer above the dupe layer: Edit > fill with 50% gray and change the blending mode in the layers of overlay Panel.

Then paint with black to burn an area, paint with white to dodge an area. Set the Options bar opacity to paint in small increments.

(Do not use the Burn and Dodge tools >)

  • edge of the visible images through the mask

    I do a screen split using position, a solid black layer effect and masks and for some reason that the edges of one of the clips and the black solid layer are appearing through the mask like what seems to be 1 width in pixels. It appears in the record.  You can see that the two lines just to the left of his head. What I am doing wrong?

    So it turns out that this is a bug and is also a novelty, I arrived just to never try until the day where it became available, no wonder no one could help me with it, it has never existed before! Now in the cropping effect, there are a few form buttons that will make masks. However if move you the position of the image, it only covers the last width in pixels of the image. BUT! If you make a 2nd mask then lay on this line annoying that it will remove. I guess they'll fix that in a patch later.

  • loop through the layers defining the lock and visibility

    I need to loop through the layers in the active document and the value of the properties of the layer is false or true.  I tried to create a loop using a method 'for', but it doesn't seem to work. I have renounced the method 'for' because I kept running into a problem.  I have set all layers with these settings just the odd ones (2,4,6, etc.). Here is sample if it was written.

    myLayer = myDoc.layers var [2];

    myLayer.visible = false;

    myLayer.locked = true;

    myLayer = myDoc.layers var [4];

    myLayer.visible = false;

    myLayer.locked = true;

    myLayer = myDoc.layers var [6];

    myLayer.visible = false;

    myLayer.locked = true;

    myLayer = myDoc.layers var [8];

    myLayer.visible = false;

    myLayer.locked = true;

    I have 208 layers, so doing it this way would be way to long. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Is it possible to only select the visible layers to copy/paste in place.

    Hello!

    I must be missing something.  In Adobe Illustrator, when you select a layer (or Sub-layer) to copy, is it possible to copy only visible layers and not those hidden?

    When I provide my clients with their final illustrator files, I only want to register the approved artwork.  Currently, I make a copy of the file and go through and delete hidden files, it would be much easier to copy and paste in place visible layers in an Adobe illustrator file.

    Thank you!

    Given that your items are grouped, select objects on the artboard should be as effective as Select layers in the layer panel.

    You will not be able to resolve this layer-selection-irritation. Happened for some versions. You might consider to report it as a bug.

  • Delete the layer and fill the empty place in the timeline with layers above

    Hello

    When I delete a layer of AE CS5.5, is there a way I can get all the other layers above him to retreat and to fill in the empty space in the timeline, without physcially having to pass them all?

    Not automatically.  But you can do this:

    Place the cursor in the timeline to the place where you first layer to begin once that everything is moved.

    Click on the layer immediately above the layer you want to delete.

    Shift-click on the upper - layer you have selected now all layers above the one to delete.

    Maj-do drag the selected layers.  They will align with the point where the cursor of the timeline.

    Once you have verified that all is well, delete this undesirable layer.

  • Export the visible layers in photoshop by using the script.

    Hello

    I am new to adobe script, so please forgive me if this has been covered before.

    I have a book script Adobe Scripting of Chandler McWilliam, I want to use. Essentially, it exports all visible layers in a document open in PS. The script works, but I can't seem to export to a folder/directory of my choice. It is default export to the folder that contains the Photoshop application.

    I use a Mac.

    The Script looks like this:

    function exportVisible (doc) {}

    var myJPEG = new JPEGSaveOptions();

    myJPEG.quality = 10;

    myJPEG.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;

    var myPath = ' / users/tr/Desktop/JAVATESTFOLDER ";

    var myFolder = new Folder (myPath);

    myFolder.create ();

    var settings = new Array();

    var current; Reference to the current layer

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

    current = doc.layers [i];

    settings [i] = current.visible;

    doc. Layers [i]. Visible = false;

    }

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

    current = doc.layers [i];

    If (settings [i]) {}

    Current.Visible = true;

    var myFile = new File ("Img-" + current.name + '.jpg');

    doc.saveAs (myFile, myJPEG, true);

    Current.Visible = false;

    }

    }

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

    current = doc.layers [i];

    Current.visible = settings [i];

    }

    }

    exportVisible (activeDocument);

    I tried many variations, but in vain. I would be very grateful for any advice.

    I've not heard JJ found, but you need to add the path of access, but with my corrections.

    var myFile = new file (myPath + "/ Img-" + current.name + '.jpg');

  • The invisible layers using the text returned on visible layers

    I'm working on a newsletter page 8 for a customer. There are 5 versions of the newsletter of new pages 3-6 are common to all the 5 editions, pages 1-2 and 7-8 is unique to each version. I use an InDesign document with 6 layers, 1 layer of background (#1) pour common/story layouts and a separate layer for each version (#2-#6). When laying on the stories of page 7 (a single page) my invisible layers affect the provision on visible layers. I have a story on layer #2 all plotted, so when I move to the layer #3 I disable #2 and light #3 which should give me a blank page to work with. The page appears empty, but when I add my pictures and text, information on layer #3 is being moved by what looks like a build-up of layer #2. Why is this invisible layer affecting the layout on a visible layer? How do I fix this so I don't have to go back and rebuild individually 5 versions? Thank you!

    It is exactly as expected. If you want to disable, open the properties of the layer of hidden layers, and it can be.

    Hey beginner, Hey Suresh.

    http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs5/pc_Layer.html

    Each layer has its own ' allGraphics property, for a nicer way to do is to use that:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var myLinks = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++) {
              if (doc.layers[i].visible) {
                        myLinks.push("Layer "+i+"("+doc.layers[i].name+"):")
                        var layerGraph = doc.layers[i].allGraphics;
                        for (var j = 0; j < layerGraph.length; j++) {
                                  try {                                        //  not all graphics have a itemLink, for example the embedded ones
                                            myLinks.push(layerGraph[j].itemLink.name);
                                  } catch (e) {
                                            myLinks.push("Error: Graphic " + j + " on layer " + i + " might be embedded");

  • by selecting all the blocks of text on all visible layers

    I want to select all the blocks of text on all visible layers.

    the script below will select all the blocks of text, even in groups, but if the layer with the text is invisible the script error. (target layer cannot be changed)

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var numTextFrames = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

    textArtRange = doc.textFrames [i];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    So I made this script to select blocks of text on only visible layers, but now missing text belonging to a group.

    var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;

    var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;

    for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++)

    {

    currentLayer = activeDocument.layers [i];

    If (currentLayer.visible == visible)

    {

    for (j = 0; j < currentLayer.textFrames.length; j ++) {}

    textArtRange = currentLayer.textFrames [j];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    }

    can someone tell me why it is not some frames of text bound in a group when made this way and is it possible to get all managers of related texts selected on all visible layers?

    Thank you

    Try this:

    if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {

  • Iteration through the activeDocument.layers is very slow

    Hello

    I am trying to build a table of all visible layers currently in a document, and the only way I know how to do it is by performing an iteration (by using where loop method) app.activeDocument.layers however, the problem is it is really slow for some reason any. For 37 layers, it will sit there for about 10 to 15 seconds and the mouse pointer will fluctuate between normal and busy pointer.

    A few questions:

    (a) is there a better way to build the list of visible layers?

    (b) why it takes so long to complete this (Note: there is only a single action in the loop that is assigning the active layer in the layers panel to l):

    var layers = app.activeDocument.layers;

    for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i ++)

    {

    var l = layers [i];

    }


    ?

    Any help on this will be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Nate

    If you have CS4, you can use the function below to get the index of the selected layers AM.

    function getSelectedLayersIdx(){
         var selectedLayers = new Array;
         var ref = new ActionReference();
         ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Dcmn'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
         var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
         if( desc.hasKey( stringIDToTypeID( 'targetLayers' ) ) ){
              desc = desc.getList( stringIDToTypeID( 'targetLayers' ));
              var c = desc.count
              var selectedLayers = new Array();
              for(var i=0;i
    

    There isn't really any documentation by using the Action Manager. The javascript guide that ships with Photoshop lists the properties and methods for the action descriptor, Action reference and list of actions. And the app.object methods to convert an ID.

  • Create Split layers above original layer

    Hello everyone.

    In the Preferences-general- if you uncheck the Split create layers above original layer. So if you split a layer, Ctrl + Shift + D. You'll see the Split layer under your original layer. I was creating an animation for a movie and I wanted to have different effects in every 5 seconds, so I shared the layer several times so I could apply the effects to other layers. So, I liked the idea of Split layers under the original layer. Is there a reason perhaps better to have Split over the original layer?

    Thank you.

    Usually, you create a composite from the bottom to the top. Separation of the layers to me usually means that I add something to the composite to the new layer above the original makes perfect sense. Most of the time when I shared a layer, I'll do something different to that layer and then extend the layer below to create a composite. It would be a very strange thing for me to have a sea of layers under a layer of master because he wouldn't do that add to the antics so I wanted to build some layers by using the original footage.

    I would like to warn you to make your comps too long. 90% of my friends are suddenly and less than 7 seconds. Try to change in AE, especially an animated film, is a painful and ineffective effort. You will have more success creating shots and short sequences in AE, and then polishing and completion of your film in a NLE such as Premiere Pro. You will not save any time in projects of more than a few minutes if you make and then change in first.

  • ACR adjustments after merge visible layers

    After I work on photo in LR, I want to open it as a smart object in PS. I'm doing this so that I can continue to make adjustments in ACR. Once in PS, I do typical changes with adjustment layers, still try to work non-destructively. However, at some point I will use merge visible layers (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-E) to do some cleaning pixel-based. Once I do that, it seems that going back to ACR in the object dynamic is no longer an option. Do you know why this is the case?

    If the smart object layer was visible when you did the Merge visible layer. There is no longer the smart object layer all layers that were visible have been merged into a single layer of Pixels a raster layer.    All RAW data and ACR settings were lost during her Merge visible layers.   You can convert this layer fused to a smart object layer and use ACR as a dynamic filter on this layer to smart object. If you use ACR as a filter on the layer without converting previously to a layer to smart object ACR will be like any other destructive filter.
