• 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.

  The solution is a very useful shortcut, but requires a bit of dexterity.

  Of is it: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + e. (Yes, 4 keys at the same time).

  This creates a new layer that is the fusion of visible layers.

• Pen tool on a new layer keeps bouncing back to the original layer

  I'm on a Windows 7 using Illustrator CC machine, using a mouse with the pen tool.

  I created shapes on a layer and totrace now want just outside of these shapes on a different layer. It worked pretty well in the first two forms that I did with (at the time consisting of ellipses in layers to create a special form), but on this third one, she keeps bouncing me to the original layer. It is the only form which includes the straights, but I see no reason that could prevent me from being able to outline shapes on a different layer. Any idea what I might hurt?

  Have you tried the forms of blocking layer? If you track on another layer and accidentally click on an active anchor on the first layer (or lower) will call you suddenly on this layer.

• Duplicate the layer just above the layer source by script

  Hello

  I'm trying to duplicate the layer by using script. Layer duplicated only taking place at the beginning of the order of the layers. I want the duplicate layer just above the layer.

  I got this forum.

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;  
  with(docRef) {  
           var ll = docRef.activeLayer ; 
           var ln=ll.name;
           var ol = layers.getByName(ln);  
                 ll.visible = false;  
          var nl = layers.add();  
           nl.name = 'Duplicated Layer';  
           for (var a = ol.pageItems.length-1; a >= 0; a--) {  
                ol.pageItems[a].duplicate(nl, ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);  
                nl.visible = true;
           }  
      }  
  
  //~ ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE); // moves it above a group named 'my group' in the stacking order  
  //~ ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER); // moves it below a group named 'my group' in the stacking order  
  //~ ElementPlacement.INSIDE); // moves it inside a group named 'my group', at the top of the stacking order  
  //~ ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // moves it inside a group named 'my group', at the top of the stacking order just like ElementPlacement.INSIDE  
  //~ ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
  

  

  I duplicated the layer 2 and place it at the top. Strange.

  Help, please

  Kind regards

  Try this code...

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  with(docRef) {
      var ll = docRef.activeLayer ;
      var n=docRef.layers.length;
      x=ll.zOrderPosition;
      var ln=ll.name;
      var ol = layers.getByName(ln);
      ll.visible = false;
      var nl = layers.add();
      nl.name = 'Duplicated Layer';
      for (var a = ol.pageItems.length-1; a >= 0; a--) {

• To "create new layers and other features of the paid Version of Photoshop Elements 14

  I brought and downloaded Photoshop elements 14 in March and still learn to use it.  I'm editing a RAW file and tried to use the functions of layers by opening the layers panel. Once it opens, I can see my photo RAW showed that the background layer and was partially closed. I tried to hit the "create new layer button but it is disabled.  Even at the second button, which is the "create new fill or adjustment layer".  I was wondering if it's a software problem? Since I paid because he doesn't understand why some features of the software are disabled.  Help, please!

  Elements has never supported 16 - bit layers.

  FAQ: Why Photoshop Elements is less expensive? What is different about Photoshop?

  This has nothing to do with trial versions.

  When you change in the raw converter, you can set the menu in the middle of the bottom line to 8 bits.

  Or you can open 16 - bit, use the global changes of the editor without layers (the only edits where 16-bit is useful) then convert 8 - bit to layer or detail work.

• CC of Dreamweaver for creating nav for the psd layer?

  Have used for a very long time adobe products, taking a few years off and now looking at using the CC to make projects internet-platform. In the past, created from layers in the Photoshop files, menus in Navigation who answered the mouse above and down. Example for the various layers to answer in a PSD file with the mouse and the mouse down. Is this possible in Dreamweaver with extraction or other methods? or do I need to do it in Flash, if it is done in flash, then this can be used in cross-platform internet projects (web, smartphone, Tablet) in responsive web design with bootstrap? Started to seek to do, it is in Fireworks, but Fireworks is currently abandoned. What are the new ways to address more effectively?

  A lot has changed in a few years.  Flash is a web technology that is now dead.  iOS, Android and other smart devices can't and never will be, so Flash is out.

  Mouse event triggers won't hurt on touchscreens because they have no mouse.  Again, the generated PSD menus are one is not a good option in Responsive Web Designs.

  Old fashioned and multi-level drop menus have lost favor in recent years because they absorb too much real estate and they are awkward for users of mobile devices. The trend is now simplified, touch friendly menus collapsing on smaller devices.  See the example. Editor of Tryit v2.6

  Use PS to design comps and images only.  Learn to work with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. Sensitive use frameworks such as Bootstrap if they will help you to start your projects.

• How can I create a layered lens effect?

  I want to create a layered lens effect. I am trying to create an effect like this.

  

  I can create a rectangle with a hole in it using mask form = Shape.subtract (backgroundRect, lensRect). The problem is that I want to want to be able to move the lensRect with the mouse. I don't know how to do this. I can use a clip to reveal the background under the lens. The problem with that approach is that is will not let me create a semi-transparent background. Do you know how to update the mask each time, the lenseRect is moved? I tried to use a changelistener on the lenseRect translateX property, but we cannot update the form inside the event. To use the reference of mask in the case where there be declared final.

• Y at - it a good script to collect all the layers in 1 layer?

  I am doing something similar to the selection of layers and using collection based on new layer in Illustrator. It runs successfully on several layers, but for others it will expel just ' mistake Illustrator: 1346458189 ("PARM").

  My script is really simple and I use it to collect layers into a layer named "Earned", if it has more than 2 layers. I even tried the fix suggested in this Readme: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/illustrator/scripting/Readme.tx t. But I get an error just when you reference a running level. I tried directly referring to the current in the loop layer, but it always causes problems. If I get rid of the line of movement (which is the whole reason for this script), it works fine. I tried to let the script sleep and a few other things, but cannot make it work properly. I've included some debugging lines who write in the console to make sure that everything is properly defined

  var = app.activeDocument actDoc

  var layerCount = actDoc.layers.length;

  $.write("\n//layer Name\nLayer Count:" + layerCount + "\n///").

  var placeInLayer = actDoc.layers ['Collected ""];

  If (layerCount > 0) {}

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

  try {var topLayers = actDoc.layers [i] ;}

  catch("|)    "+e) {

  $.write (e)

  }

  .write $("\nLayer name:"+ topLayers.name+"|)    Count: "+ i +" ")".

  Sublayers = topLayers.layers;

  If (topLayers.name == "Collected") continue;

  topLayers.move (placeInLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);

  }

  }

  Try a loop back... from the bottom layer.

• Script to connect several layers to one layer draw

  I'm trying to bind several layers to one layer no animated but I want each layer to start the animation layer from time.

  What would be the script that I need to add instead of duplicating layer draw for each layers?

  I hope that this question is not too complicated to understand lol

  TIA

  I think you can do it with an expression as follows:

  thisComp.layer("ROTATE").transform.xRotation.valueAtTime (time-inPoint)

• Place of cc 2015.0.1 integrated Photoshop puts the new layer at the top of the artboard stack, not above source layer as it should, or even in the same folder of layers

  . Is this a bug or is at - he of the settings that I can adjust?

  I want to confirm that we share the experience should be improved, and we have taken steps to do this in the next version.

  An unsatisfactory explanation: we are short of time for the first version of work plans, so that we don't treat this as we would have liked to 2015.0. We have seen having placed hidden content completely outside the boundaries of a plan of work as a very bad experience, so as a quick fix and prevention, we decided that if the layer target was inside a work plan, we would place new content at the top of the layer stack where you could see it and then leave the artboard auto-nid code drop in the projected work plan. We have heard from a number of people that it was not good enough.

  (Unfortunately, I can't comment on the timing of the next release, so please don't ask.) Just know that we are listening and we spent some time trying to improve things in this area.)

  In addition, the changes described above are in a completely different area code logic who handled double layers. That's why the duplicated layer marker did not affect placed layers.

• Script to create a shadow over each layer mask layer in my document

  I tried to find out how this script, but I'm really new script and he couldn't understand. I would like to a script that would create a layer clipping above all layers mask in the document. So, it would create a empty new layer above each existing layer, rename the new layer based on the layer it's on top of + a suffix and apply a clipping for new layers mask.

  So, if I had a PSD file with the following layers:

  Layer has

  Layer B

  Layer C

  the layers that results would be:

  Layer A_clip

  Layer has

  Layer B_clip

  Layer B

  Layer C_clip

  Layer C

• Photoshop CS6 creates new layers when cropping

  When I crop my picture CS6 today creates a layer.  If I check the history, there is no sign that a layer has been created, just cropped, however if I check under layer, "Flatten Image" is highlighted.  How do I get rid of this, just started today.

  Rufous03,

  Layer 0 is the only layer that displays in the layers panel after crop you the image or is there still a 'Background' layer below layer 0.

  Photoshop CS6, the crop tool has been refined. There is an option that allows you to 'not' to remove the trimming pixels when you crop - which means that your image data is not lost - you can return to the original version at any time. With this feature enabled (disabled by default, it is - look in the menu bar at the top - "Delete the cropped Pixels" will be), your "Background" of the image layer is all simply "unlocked" so leads to "Rename" the layer as the layer "0".

  If you enable the option 'Delete cropped pixels', it will simply get rid of pixel data which you are flush and your layer will remain as 'Background '.

  Trust that this assistance.
