Automatic selection and ignore adjustment layers?

Hi all

I use some photoshop files quite massive with lots of layers for architectural visualization. Is there a way I can disable the automatic selection to select adjustment with masks layers?

then when I ctrl click on a layer, select the raster / smart object layer, not a random mask over the top on my layer stack?

I hope that there is as it would allow me to save a lot of time! and maybe my mental health.

Thank you very much

I think you can have clear auto SELECT and use the layers palette to target the layer. The layers palette is equipped with filters that can help you manage this, when you have a lot of different types of layers.

  • Save and reuse adjustment layers

    Hi, I feel that I am doing should be easy, but I can't understand it.

    I have a set of files that I want to apply the same set of adjustment layers for.  I opened one of the images, created adjustment layers and tweaked the settings until I was happy.  Now, I would like to create an action that would apply to this set of layers of multiple files in batch mode.  I understand that if I save my creation of adjustment layer, I could play again it, but I did not save - I have a set of layers (I even saved them in a separate file), but no way to retrace my steps.  I could do all of this by hand by duplicating my group of adjustment layers for files that I opened, but I can't find a way to automate this.  Any help?

    Thank you

    Without script, is to record down the settings in the form of files. Adjustment settings can be saved to the bottom of in any adjustment dialog box or Panel using "Save Preset". Your Action then must load in these adjustments, one at a time from your drive. Another way is just to record step by step the creation of all settings. But it is not as easily adaptable.

    This lack of capacity is a huge problem in Photoshop actually. The process of batch adjust images, or combining images in general should be MUCH easier than it is in stocks.

  • How to incorporate the timestamp and file name automatically select and save the file dialog?

    Hello

    I try to incorporate the name of the file that is the registration of the end user with the timestamp in the selected and save file dialog box. Can you help me?

    Thank you

    Hi Mike227,

    I couldn't find a way to immediately make the bat. I guess you need to mess with ActiveX to do. I found an msdn page that could help with this.

    Have you considered simply concatenating the name of the file and the time stamp with a path of the file and save the file when you create it, without inviting the user?

  • find police and ignore locked layers

    Hello

    I have a document with a number of layers and want to 'find the police' and change fonts thoughout just a layer. But even with the other layers locked and hidden Indesign wants to investigate in these layers, which I do not want to change.

    Is there a way to 'find the fonts' and change the font, although it looks through the other layers? Unfortunately, it is not as "Find/replace" where you can specify locked or non-locked layers.

    I found absolutely nothing about it here.

    Thanks for any help,

    Petter.

    Is the text on these layers unique in some way, such as the clause may be invoked or the styles used? If you can isolate the text in this way you can use find/replace.

  • Move the function of automatic selection of the tool is not capture several objects on drag / select.

    I know that the title of this discussion is a bit murky, but the problem is a little weird.  I have Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2.  In this version, I will activate the selection, automatic check selection tool: layer, select Show transform controls and then while using the selection tool, I will drag to create a rectangle to select several layers with content in the specified area.  Unfortunately, this action doesn't work when I start the selection of outside of the area of the canvas.  If started from in the space of the canvas, any rectangle will appear, it will show me a measure of the size of my choice, and then choose without diapers as soon as available.

    This may not be working as intended, right?  I mean multi-Select drag cannot be wanted only work when started outside the canvas on the right?  Is there a way to fix this?  Is this a bug?  See the images below for more information on this issue.

    outside-canvas.pnginside-canvas.png

    If you have the tool move on automatic selection, and you begin to drag inside the canvas... It will not work as you expect that it is not selectable area unless the point where you click to start the drag operation (such as a locked layer or transparency)

    When you do it the way you describe... the move tool self-selecting a layer and pass only a layer.

    Look at your layer panel and see which layer targeted to your insertion point of the trail. And lock it.

    (in other words, if I understand correctly your problem)

  • Automatic selection in Photoshop CC selects the layers locked or hidden groups

    I can't be the only person who thinks that it is the nut that when ' automatic selection > layers are selected and drag to select a bunch of layers, I also select the layers that are turned off or locked, what I can?

    I just confirmed that this IS not the case with CS6 - locked or hidden layers are not selected on drag to select the exposed layers.

    is this a bug or some new features that I'm a failure to grasp? I noticed that in CC, on the right click is the new option to 'isolate the layers', but this seems just to isolate and to clean up the layers in the layers panel.

    I'd greatly appreciate some insight and possible solutions to this problem.

    Thank you.

  • Clipping masks and adjustment layers

    If anyone can answer this question quickly I'll be eternally grateful. I'm having a problem with clipping masks does affect the planned layer any background color I have on.

    For example-, I have some letters that I want to apply an adjustment layer map gradient. To only affect the text layer I oscillate between the adjustment layer and the layer to now the Option + click to get the double b + w circles clip.

    When I cut my layer ad, I don't get my purpose. The only way I see the adjustment gradient effect is if I unhook my adjustment layer, but then this affects my ENTIRE background rather than the type.

    Is there a trick to keep the effect of setting without affecting the rest of the layers no matter what background color I have? Setting gradients seem better to work on black only. The problem is that my original document has a red background, so I have TO fix so that the gradient does not affect my red background. But even on a black background, I have to unclip the ad layer to see the effect. It's weird.

    Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean.

    I could flatten my document and retrieve my type with all its splendour of effect and just import it into my original doc, but selecting and extracting type of blur would be a big slap on the head.

    Thank you.

    Test on a black background.

    Something you might try instead to use a clipping mask is a selection of the layer of loading type and then adding a layer of the gradient map.

  • It is possible to select more than one layer by selecting the first and the last layers?

    I frequently get Illustrator files which are individual objects such as the paths on separate layers that can be grouped together to make the shorter layers. I find that I have to change click on each individual layer to select it to finally bring together them. Sometimes, I have 25 or so layers that I need to select. Is there a way to select the first and the last layer in the layers palette and have Illustrator select all the layers in the meantime?

    Don't know about the selection of layers of first/last, but to select several consecutive layers in the layers palette...

    Option-click on (Mac) on a layer to select it and, with the option always pressed key, drag to the bottom of the list - DO NOT slip on as logical target icons you like.  When you drag to the bottom of the list of layers, the icons of the target will become selected.

    Shift + Option-click allows you to ignore the layers and continue to select consecutive additional layers on the bottom of the palette.

    Note: Drag slowly or some layers would not choose.

    Strange, I know.  It took me years to come across this.

  • ASA and AnyConnect - automatically select the best server

    If I have two servers in different regions, is it possible to have the AnyConnect client to connect to the server, it has latency less also?

    I'm sure I saw a reference to this before, but I am struggling to find any documentation on this subject. For example, I have an ASA in Europe and an another ASA in North America. I would like to the client AnyConnect to automatically determine which server it has smaller response time too and that allows to connect too.

    I would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.

    Thank you

    Go to the Preferences of VPN tab in the AnyConnect client settings and check the box ' Enable automatic selection of VPN server.  This should get you what you ask.

  • Is there a way to have photoshop save under and automatically select a new name?

    I'm an artist in history, so I draw much images per day and save them with sequentially numbered names. If I paint another program I use sometimes - Sketchbook Pro - the program automatically selects a new name for me.  So if I'm working on a document called A100 and I hit record under it suggest automatically A101, then A102 on the next, etc. Is there a preference or something that I can choose so Photoshop will do it for me so I don't have to manually rename the file in the Save dialog box under? Or maybe an action that I could create?

  • Can I copy the image adjustments in another image if I didn't not use layer styles and adjustment layers in Photoshop?

    I have several photos captured in similar conditions and have already adjusted one of the photos for my taste. I am a complete newbie and have just read layer styles and adjustment layers and did not them you use while editing. I simply clicked on the Image > adjustments and went from there. Would be really nice if there was a way I could 'redo' these adjustments on the other photos that I stupidly forgot precise adjustments I made. Is this possible? I use Photoshop CC 2014.

    Sorry but no, this is not possible. It was possible, if you had used adjustment layers instead of making the adjustment directly on the image.

    Using adjustment layers is the best way forward: it is non-destructive; It can always be changed later or even completely deleted, and he has a mask that allows you to restrict the adjustment on the only parts of the image. And it can be saved for later reuse...

  • My nail of the thumb in bridge always have evidence the adjustments I make to RAW files. Now, for the first time they have not. However when I select the images adjusted and open them in CS6 adjustments are there. I restarted the bridge and PS, and I rest

    My nail of the thumb in bridge always have evidence the adjustments I make to RAW files. Now, for the first time they have not. However when I select the images adjusted and open them in CS6 adjustments are there. I restarted bridge and PS, and I restarted the computer (Mac). Still the same problem.

    I thank assani, but it wasn't the answer. The problem was, I finally understood, that the "option for generation of quality and preview thumbnails" wasn't on "high quality" as it usually is. I have no idea how this happened as I never change this option.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • How to change the default name of new adjustment layers? (and other Q)

    How can I change the default name of new adjustment layers?

    How can I do to make the adjustment layers do not come with a mask when I create them (unless I have an active selection)?

    Why isn't the functionality of shadows / highlights an adjustment layer? It is accessible under "settings", but you can use it not destructive

    Where can I find documentation on the API of Photoshop? (I want tools do it o - javascript)

    How can I do to make the adjustment layers do not come with a mask when I create them (unless I have an active selection)?

    It is an option in the drop-down Panel. Uncheck the 'Add a mask by default'. No mask unless you have a selection active.

    (it is using PS CS6, don't know about older versions)
