Duplicate the layers and groups unrelated

I have a group of layers (in a folder) and duplicate the group without the two groups are related. I tried Ctrl-J and also by dragging the group to the new layer at the bottom of the layers Panel icon. None of these methods worked to untie layer groups. When I change the text smart object layer in one of the groups, changes occur in both groups of layers. I want to be able to edit text layers independently in each group.

Is it possible to separate groups?

If you are using the latest version of Photoshop CC 2014, you will need several steps.

(1) make a right-click on one of the smart object layers in the Group and choose new Smart Object Via Copy. Repeat for all layers additional object dynamic you want to duplicate.

(2) if there are layers in the folder that are not smart object layers, you can copy it by dragging to the new layer at the bottom of the layers Panel icon.

(3) move all the layers that are duplicated in a new layer group folder.

  • When I copy the layers and a harvest, it changes each layer.  Why?

    Cannot operate it.  I imported a jpeg file and copied several times.  I woud want to crop a different part each and have a stack of layers indicating each part of the original jpeg.  When I select a single layer, and lock the rest the result of the harvest of the active layer is applied to all copies of the layer!  Why?  How to work around this irritating behavior?  Work with Photoshop CS on a Mac.

  • Duplicate the size and the position of several objects.

    Is it possible to duplicate the position and size properties and apply them to different objects on slides?

    In short, I have short videos I want located at the same place on each slide more than 30 slides. The videos vary, but the slide location must be the same. It becomes particularly bulky on a sensitive project to manually adjust things for not only all the slides, but once again for Tablet and phone views as well.

  • Get all the layers and apply to other documents

    Hello everyone,

    I'm copying all layers from one document to the other. But just copy paste is not enough for several reasons (root document may already be closed, copy at a time when the new document is not open yet,...).

    This means that I have to remember all the layers and use them later.

    At the moment I am sth. Like this:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    public static std::vector < PIActionDescriptor > layeractions;

    Sub testGet()

    {

    Result PIActionDescriptor = NULL;

    numLayers Int32;

    SPErr error = kSPNoError;

    DescriptorTypeID typeID = 0;

    Int32 docCounter = 1;

    error = PIUGetInfoByIndex (docCounter,

    classDocument,

    keyNumberOfLayers,

    & numLayers,

    (NULL);

    If (numLayers > 0)

    for (int32 layCounter = 1;

    layCounter < = numLayers & & error == kSPNoError;

    layCounter ++)

    {

    error = PIUGetInfoByIndexIndex (layCounter,

    docCounter,

    classLayer,

    classDocument,

    0,

    and result,

    (NULL);

    layeractions.push_back (result);

    }

    }

    Sub testSet()

    {

    SPErr error = kSPNoError;

    Result PIActionDescriptor = NULL;

    for (auto & it: layeractions)

    {

    error = sPSActionControl-> Play (& result, eventMake, he, NULL);

    }

    }

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So what I'm doing, open a doc with some layers. Then testGet(), open new document then testSet().

    But bench always puts "the command 'Make' is not currently available." and error = - 128.

    Hope you get what I'm trying.

    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Who's going to be a difficult path to travel to this topic. Even if you can get all the properties of the active document and the layers within the document, you have not dealt with pixels on a normal layer data. You will need to save this broad as well. And for dynamic objects and linked smart objects... you have a job to do. Any topic of a document is not capable 'get '.

    Trying to cope with this: "document might already be narrow" would be almost impossible IMO.

    Remember, the source document, which is now closed I now want to copy. Then you can do:

    1. open closed source document. (Or make it more if it is already open)

    2. for each layer in the source document

    a. Select the layer

    b. copy of the document target

    3. close source document.

    The Get accessor routines are not for 'read' directly. You must get the interesting bits of information on and then use the game code that you found using listener.

  • How to resize the layers (and keep the properties)

    Hello to all and forgive my lack of knowledge of the AferEffects.  Currently, I got the task to my work to create a video for a display at a local arena.  The height of the screen of the arena is 36px.  I bought a model of Envato that I liked but resizing has been a problem.  I created a new composition for the appropriate specifications and copied the model layers in my new composition.  "Then I went to the size equal to the composition but noticed that there are layer 'points' and I guess that 'transformations or effects' ' are not scale with the height of the composition.

    Is there an easy way to resize the layers and all their properties to meet up to my composition?

    Thanks in advance and I promise you I won't go to the current on the use of AE, but for the moment I'll have to get finishing with searches google and help forum.

    Have you tried to use the script of the Composition of the ladder by going to file - Scripts - scale Composition.  Define a height 36, click scale and then copy and paste all your layers model comp above the 36 x 2760 model. Who should maintain relationships between all layer properties in the model.  Forgive me if I'm struggling to understand what you're trying to do, but a few screenshots of your comps might help illustrate your workflow.

  • How do you manage the layers and objects and to rear of the other

    I do not understand how it is possible to have many objects on the stage and be able to handle the motion tweens with each of them, but ALSO to manage the objects are in front and behind them. I have a boot animation and there are many ongoing action, and there are times where I need my guys to be in front of the objects, and the time when they need to be behind.

    I do not know how to handle things regarding the layers and the movements in a way so I can get the items in the order that I need them to be (as the element on which passes in front of the other).

    Someone at - it advice or a way that I can manage my objects and queries and be able to classify them on the stage so that I can arrange things how I need them to be investment and who should be in front of the other objects?

    Yes, if you want to animate 20 items, you must put each item in its own layer. There are a number of ways to make it a little less tedious. For example, if you place each element on the stage, in the same layer, and then name each instance, you can then select all the elements on the stage and then select the Edit menu and then the timeline and finally distribute to layers. This will place each item in a layer newly created at the same position on the stage and then name each layer to match the name of instance for this element.

    To change the Z-order of any given scene element, you can use a number of different methods. One method is to use Actionscript as I mentioned in my last post. ActionScript is the best method if you need to be able to respond to user input and show the changes that cannot be built in animation since the beginning. If you're just showing an animation preset, you can use a number of methods different timeline based.

    In your example, if you want to have a figure to move another object on the stage, you can do that by creating two layers of the same object. One on one with the figure between the two. So that you have the object to move around both in front and behind, the figure. When you want to display the number in front of the object, set the object in the layer that is on top is not not visible. Then you will see only the object that is at the origin and the figure in front of him. How you go about changing the visible property or the alpha property, of this object. You can use keyframes in the timeline panel or the simple ActionScript.

    You want to find a small pool in the basics of Flash or take a book to guide you. There are a number of very good tutorials on the basic available free animation: http://www.gotoandlearn.com, or at a cost: http://www.lynda.com .

  • Why can't copy several layers and groups in a new PSD file?

    I created a bunch of new files PSD w / they must be the pixel dimensions. But I can't copy over 1 layer in these new files in a source file (w / all of my work). Why is this? Does anyone know?

    Go to Image > Mode for each file type and check that they are both RGB, or the two etc. CMYK. An adjustment layer, such as a curve or a Hue/Saturation, which is setting red, green, and blue pixel in an RGB document, cannot be moved in a CMYK document (or grayscale, etc.) because the color channels, that layer is adjusted are not there. This means that your new PSD files should be replaced by the same color mode as the documents you want to duplicate adjustment layers of.

  • How to duplicate the layer and rename it?

    Greetings to all.

    I do a little tool, and I need to duplicate the layer, change of name and so...

    Tell me how to change the name of the layer? After all, when duplicate layer app.activeDocument () of the range slider layer remains on the same layer. Can be done through hard brace, but I think that there is a simpler solution.

    Thank you

    Layers have a name property that can be changed via the Script.

    2014, use it at your own risk.

  • Keep the layers with Group/Ungroup CS5

    I hope I missed a box hidden somewhere in illustrator.

    I work with complex figures and often use the group to move the sections and align the panels. Unfortunately, this process flattens all objects in a single layer; which is ok when I move the group, but NOT OK when I need ungroup and modify objects in layers separated again.

    For example:

    Graphic overlay, text, highlight behind the text.

    One use is when I make a model, distributing the work to occupy the available space, then going back in and update text and highlights, etc.

    I'm dealing with too many objects to manually reassign the layers after dissociation.

    Thank you.

    N ° this feature never existed in artificial intelligence and still does today. Layer affinity is not an attribute of the object, it's just the opposite, so any object that is grouped together with those on other layers is engulfed in the dominant layer, which is usually the first object belonged to.

  • Duplicate the 'Favorites' and 'Music' folders that appear.

    In my file user a few months ago I noticed that I had two folders called 'Favorites '. I deleted one of them only a few times to make it reappear later.  Today, I noticed another problem of dupe. I have now two "Favorites" and two records 'music '. Does anyone have an idea of what is causing this and a resolution possible?

    Example: http://www.thecaldwellfamily.net/rjc/images/Clipboard-1.gif

    With the favorite dupe files one is empty and one actually contains the Favorites of IE. For music files, it is empty and contains in fact all of the music stored on my PC. One that is empty display a normal folder icon while one that contains music shows the blue note CD icon. (as shown in the image link)  I tried to remove two empty folders but when I reboot him reappear. I've been using MS Security Essentials and keep up-to-date and analysis since it was released.

    I think I can have it fixed for now however.  It seems that some combinations of iTunes and TuneBite creates a bunch of 'ghost' (i.e. folders hidden / system) and some were 'linked' to Favorites and music files.  When another application would attempt to access these folders (for example WMP or IE) apps could not find records and create duplicates.  I did some digging in the properties of the records and found the "Restore Default" button in the location tab. When you click on that I noticed that the place has changed the name of folder long ghost the correct path of "C:\Users\\Music" and "C:\Users\\Favorites.

    Everything seems to be fine now, but if I have additional problems, I will use your suggestions to create a new user and copy only the data through. I'm just trying to not have to re - import my mail again. I am a digital packrat and have mail dating back to 1995 it takes awhile. :)

  • Duplicate the layers of a plan of work on another file

    I am having some problems of duplication of layers to a Committee of art on another photoshop file.
    Whenever I try to reproduce it sticks to the first Board of the art of the document. I'm trying to stick to the third Chamber of art in the document.

    Can someone give me an idea on how to place it on a specific Board?

    Thank you
    Shawn

    (Long answer, see shorter answer below)

    There are a few known issues when transferring content between two work plans in two different documents.

    1. we do not keep the relative xy position within the artboard when you drag layers in an old plan of work in an old document to a new work plan in a new document. The self-positioning code currently only works in the same document.

    2. When you drag layers from one document to another, if the destination layer is in a work plan, we adjust the destination to the top of the layers stack.

    The rationale for (2) is a complex: fall of layers added xy by position in the center of the view, regardless of the layer order insertion point. If we inserted just the layers in the order you choose, depending on the location of xy of the artboard (edge of the view, or even out of sight), the layers added wraps being entirely hidden outside the boundaries of the artboard (Hey! I dropped something in my document and nothing happened). It is a very bad behavior and it has side effects, as the layers come out of the artboard unexpectedly at a later time during editing. So we put the layers newly added at the top of the layer stack and let auto-nid - drop layers in different existing work plans. If the work plan of destination is located in the center of the view, the new layers would fall in this work plan. In the upper part.

    We could certainly better on (2) and have them inserted above the selected layer if they would be always visible, but we should solve also (1) first, and there are many cases that we need to worry.

    These two problems are currently on our list of work and should be considered bugs.
