duplicated layer dialog box

Similar Questions

• I use an iMac with El Capitan and Photoshop CS6. I'm trying to add a shadow to a text on a picture. I followed the instructions to double the text layer but not dropshadow dialog box appears and I can't. Where would it be?

  Double click on the text on the right side of the display panel does not cause a dialog box open. I just need to know where the dialog box is so I can add the drop shadow

  Please make sure that you double-click on the text layer in the layer panel not the name of the layer. With the text, it can be difficult if the name is too long. You can also right-click on the text layer in the Panel and bring up the contextual menu and select 'blending Options '.

  

• Can't see anything in dialog boxes and layer/tool names are missing. Help!

  

  
  

  I noticed that after updating to Photoshop 2015. Since then, I have uninstalled re-installed via creative cloud, 2014 and 2015 but still having the same issue.

  
  

  I don't see any options in the pop up dialog boxes (new image, the image size, curves, layer options etc...). I also can't name/Rename layers and can not see the tool names. Before the update of 2015, I've been on Photoshop 2014 for a good half a year with no problems so I don't think it's a problem with my operating system or laptop. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
  

  This could be. They have revamped the user interface in 2015, so if you receive just with him, I guess, but since you get it with 2014 also, it could be something the OS.

• Change the INITIAL values in the layer... Layer styles... Drop the Shadow dialog box

  How can I change the channel values... Layer styles... Drop the Shadow dialog box so that the values that appear when I OPEN the box first are ones that I commonly use?

  For example, once I open the dialog box, the blending Mode is always 'Multiply' and the Angle is always "120". I use still 'Normal' and '45. Is there a place where I can make my default values 'Normal' and '45 '?

  What version of photoshop are you using?

  New versions of photoshop have a button to use by default at the bottom of the dialog box.

  

• Photoshop opens the dialog box when you try to fill a layer with locked transparent pixels

  This script should set the layer to lock transparent pixels and then fill the layer with a color. She is doing this, except when it is in the filling phase, it opens the dialog box fill, and you have to hit OK.

  If you omit the transparent pixel line, it works as not expected, no dialog boxes.

  Is there a way to remove the box? Or I'm doing something wrong, which is causing the box to open?

  #target photoshop
  app.bringToFront();
  
  doc = app.activeDocument;
  doc.artLayers[0].isBackgroundLayer = false;
  doc.artLayers[0].transparentPixelsLocked = true;
  app.activeDocument.selection.fill(app.foregroundColor); 
  

  Not sure why this is happening.

  But I would recommend blocking the above and using the AM code for a fill that pays tribute to transparency.

  #target photoshop

  app.bringToFront ();

  doc = app.activeDocument;

  doc.artLayers [0] .isBackgroundLayer = false;

  doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers [0];

• CS5 - dialog for duplicated layer - but never before today

  I worked with CS5 Mac since it was released. And PhotoShop Mac in general since the beginning of the 1990s. That said...

  This just started today just in the middle of a project:

  Normally, I have my Option and drag a layer up to the icon new layer at the bottom of the layers pane.

  Now, I get a dialog box popping up asking me if the duplicate of the name (if it's multiple layers), or ask if the default name is OK.

  

  That wasn't the case earlier in the day.

  Why is this all of a sudden started to happen?

  How can I disable the pop-up?

  I tried to reset preferences with Cmd-Opt-Shift on reopening PS5. Does not help

  Yes, I know I can do this with Cmd - J, but I did the methods Opt + do drag for many years, and that's now how I'm used to working.

  Help, please.

  So, why you hold the Option key when you drag a layer on the new icon layer? He must duplicate the layer without it.

  If you hold down the Option key IN the layers panel, it will duplicate the layer you are dragging. You may have been confusion between these two methods to duplicate a layer. (A 'senior moment'?  "I got a lot.)

• Layer Style dialog box

  This question is in reference using the layer Style dialog box in CS 5. When I apply the tool gradient in the layer style box how can I get to the setting of the applied slope. In the center of the box advanced blending, it is therefore more means to overturn or change/adjust the gradient applied. Am I relegated to just using the gradient tool now?

  I just watched the dialogs for Photoshop 6 to CS5 Photoshop layer Style, and I see no evidence that a function oriented Gradient has never been in the box labeled Advanced Blending.  However, there is a Gradient Overlay style along the left side.  -What are you looking for?  There is a box reverse [] and you can adjust the gradient in detail via a second dialog box by clicking on the gradient graph itself.

  

  

  It works that way for you?

  If I'm off target here, can you please describe what you are wanting to do more in detail and ideally to capture a screen showing what it is you are looking for?

• Dialog box "Load WARNING summary": charge dependence of the new path

  Hi gurus of LabVIEW,.

  This project (01_Main) contain several baskets libraries built from another project file, let's say

  02_PPL.lvlibp

  03_PPL.lvlibp

  My problem comes when I opened the 01_Main.lvproj get the dialog box 'support WARNING summary": charge dependence of the new path.

  The gap between all the path's SVN folder that is duplicated;

  Track:

  SVN_Project/SVN_Project/02_PPL.lvlibp/Myinstr.VI

  NewPath: (which is the right of an ofc)

  SVN_Project/02_PPL.lvlibp/Myinstr.VI

  Opening Myinstr.vi in the containning the 02_PPL.lvlibp project does not appear of the warning... or the dependency problems.

  No idea how to solve those WARNING? Even if ignoring their job well... How to solve those for good?

• Prevent the dialog box fill with scripts

  Hello.

  I have an automation script that fills some pixels on a layer. Everything works, but sometimes it displays the dialog box to fill for the parameters with some png files (not all). I need to get rid of the dialog box. Is it possible to do this with the script? for example a default option?

  

  Thank you!

  Photoshop 2015.5 CC

  Windows 8.1

  Well, look's like I solved it the problem.

  The dialog box showed on the png files, Image-> Mode-> indexed color.

  So I added prior to filling, the following script, which will ensure the RGB Image Mode:

  var idCnvM = charIDToTypeID( "CnvM" );
var desc36 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T  " );
var idRGBM = charIDToTypeID( "RGBM" );
desc36.putClass( idT, idRGBM );
executeAction( idCnvM, desc36, DialogModes.NO );


• Dialog box with multiline entry?

  I work on the automation of one of our most tedious chart types, a typed statement upward and ran into an obstacle. I have a pop up dialog box that the user fills out. They put in the name of the applicant, position, and then I have a large space to paste them into the text, they would like to insert into the chart. Unfortunately, it only sticks the first line of the text. Is it possible to enter several lines in a dialog box? Initial searches lead me to believe that entered fast can only be a single line, but I have to imagine that there is a way. Any ideas? Not having not any problems making the text in the box, the question is stick it in the dialog box.

  Thank you!

  Here is a cut down version of the part of the dialog box with the fact that I have problems:

  The GRP is the area that I intended to use for multi-line text blocks.

  // Export dialog
      this.dlg = new Window('dialog', 'Create new depo layer');

      var contentGrp = msgPnl.add('group', undefined, '')
      contentGrp.oreintation = 'row';
      contentGrp.alignment = [ScriptUI.Alignment.LEFT, ScriptUI.Alignment.TOP]
      
      var contentSt = contentGrp.add('statictext', undefined, 'Content:');

      // OK button
      btnPnl.okBtn = btnPnl.add('button', undefined, 'Create Single Depo Layer', {name:'ok'});
      btnPnl.okBtn.onClick = function() { 
              //add the textPull content in
              var textPullBox = docRef.textFrames.getByName("textPull");
              if(contentEt.text != ''){
                 textPullBox.contents = contentEt.text;
              }
              var paraStyle;
              if (contentEt.text.match(/Q./) || contentEt.text.match(/A./)){
                  paraStyle = docRef.paragraphStyles.getByName("DepoPull");
                  }
              else{
                  paraStyle = docRef.paragraphStyles.getByName("TextPull");
                  }
              //apply the paragraph style
              for(tp=0; tp<textPullBox.paragraphs.length-1; tp++) {
                  paraStyle.applyTo(textPullBox.paragraphs[tp], true);

  Hope this helps your efforts.

• Pipette in the curve adjustment dialog box average pixels, so the color balance is watered.

  Hi all.

  When you use the pipette to set the points black and white pixels of an image in the dialog box curve setting, I found that it seems not middle of the neighbouring pixels or provide a way to select a value "monochrome".  Thus, the color balance is still impaired and is thrown way if you happen to choose a noisy pixel (for example).

  I expect that there is an option to set the size of the sampling for the pipette area, but I don't see one.  I have considered making the monochrome image, defining curves, save them as a preset, and then reload the image color and apply the preset (if she does not leave me); but this seems heavy and hokey.  What is the usual procedure to adjust the tone curve of the image without changing its color balance?

  Thanks for any idea.

  When you select an eyedropper in the curves adjustment dialog box, you went to the eyedropper tool.

  You then set the sample in the Options bar.

  In the curves adjustment layer, any pipette also has sample settings in the Options bar.

  

• How to ignore a dialog box (for a fit), by implementing the function "enter" in a JavaScript script (Adobe Configurator 4)?

  I made a custom with Adobe Configurator 4 with several buttons settings panel.

  However, if I press "Brightness/contrast" example, I Don t always wants to confirm the dialog box (name of the layer).

  How to skip this step? I thought to implement somehow the entry command in the Script, but how is this possible?

  Here are several photos to see what I mean:

• caviggia files and dialog boxes (the role of Qt, Flex, etc) post-ADM

  After a few years of having to put my development efforts well enough hold him, I'm now back in the thick of it and work to get my CS3 (and so - CS5) plugins updated to CS6 and beyond. With the disappearance of the ADM, it seems to be quite a wild west as far as UI goes. First (if I remember), we were encouraged to use Flash, Flex, and now HTML5. What most developers using, especially smaller developers?

  Make a palette (now called a sign?) seems simple enough using native Xcode and Visual Studio, although there is a lot of extra coding for each platform. I see that the swirl sample plugin uses a file of .zxp in addition to the file of Betty. A caviggia file does not contain enough information for these controls, although it is apparently enough for the EmptyPanel project? I am not happy to find plenty of platform-specific reminders, etc., but do not want to submit my clients to an awkward two-step setup with the Extensions Manager process, either. Nor do I really had the time to become competent in several new programming languages.

  My plugins often use modal dialog boxes, but I can't find an example of how to apply them without an Interface separate editor. I already has many palettes/panels that you almost an extra monitor just for all, so I'd rather not have to go Park that route - but if I have to. Am I correct in guessing this is better done in Xcode (somehow) with a view with a window in Interface Builder? I'm sure that Visual Studio is not easy or intuitive.

  Golly, developing a plugin would be so MUCH easier if it was somehow possible using XOJO, which is simpler that C++ and completely cross-platform, including a great WYSIWYG editor, or even better if ADM dialog/control have been revised to work with the new user interface.

  I would greatly appreciate comments and recommendations for porting to CS6 and beyond, keeping in mind I'm an illustrator of trade and a self-taught programmer who writes plugins in my "spare" time

  TIA - Rick

  I think that a lot of small developers simply abandoned, and which perhaps explains why this forum is so quiet now. Personally, I use Flex. When Adobe has HTML5, they said that they would have begun to remove flash products support Creative Cloud in the middle of 2014. There are also rumours that they would stop Extension Manager. I don't think they did either again.

  Make a palette (now called a sign?) seems simple enough using native Xcode and Visual Studio, although there is a lot of extra coding for each platform. I see that the swirl sample plugin uses a file of .zxp in addition to the file of Betty. A caviggia file does not contain enough information for these controls, although it is apparently enough for the EmptyPanel project?

  The zxp file is an Extension Manager installer for the installation of the part of the user interface of the plugin, which is built from other files. Betty files are only used to set the entry point and name of plugin. All the stuff of the user interface are now in mxml flex for files and html html5 files, or native code, as in EmptyPanel.

  I am not happy to find plenty of platform-specific reminders, etc., but do not want to submit my clients to an awkward two-step setup with the Extensions Manager process, either. Nor do I really had the time to become competent in several new programming languages.

  You can include the zxp UI file in another zxp file that also contains the plugin by creating a hybrid extension, so that it looks like the user that they install only one thing.

Am I correct in guessing this is better done in Xcode (somehow) with a view with a window in Interface Builder? I'm sure that Visual Studio is not easy or intuitive.

  The suite of AIUser has functions for the display of message boxes (* alert functions) and also has functions to display the file picker and color picker dialog boxes. There is also one to get a string of the user (GetInputFromUser), but if you need anything with more controls, you have to build your own dialog boxes. I would recommend this doing flex/HTML5 rather than as a native window to maintain the look and feel of the Illustrator.

  Golly, developing a plugin would be so MUCH easier if it was somehow possible using XOJO, which is simpler that C++ and completely cross-platform, including a great WYSIWYG editor, or even better if ADM dialog/control have been revised to work with the new user interface.

  Yes, Adobe could simply write a conversion layer to convert WMD in which that is the language of the INTERFACE now takes their fancy, but instead, they decided it would be best to plugin developers to rewrite their code whenever they decide to change the user interface.

• Need advice from the scriptUI expert on the correct application of the scriptUI Photoshop dialog box

  I'm in the middle of my base obsolete flash to HTML5 version Panel port. Part of the SLA of my group, I wrote a script to create a new photoshop document, including settings for video editing. Since the Panel a separate script file called generating then a window of dialogue for user input. Once the completed script the dialog box and any reference to it has been automatically deleted.

  Because now I'm using a file single hostscript.jsx for my duties I run on issues related to the (re) opening - of the dialog box after the first time.

  The behavior is replicated better when you run the script directly in the ExtendScript Toolkit (oriented itself).
