Duplicated layers

• Effects of separate on duplicated layers Layer

  How can I separate the effects of layer on layer duplicated so that I can change them individually? For example, when I'm editing a drop shadow on a copy layer, the effects of the original shape change as well.

  In the drop shadow dialog box, uncheck use Global light

  
  

  
  

  

• Precompose the layers after duplication

  I am an artist, not a writer, so you don't have to excuse my lack of understanding.

  That said, I have a fairly repetitive task that appears with each animation I make for my work. That being the case, I decided to write a script to automate this small part. The goal is to select a layer and duplicate twice. The new layers together the behind track matte to luma, and then add an effect of hue and curves than above. Once everything is done the two duplicated layers are then précomposés.

  So far, I have everything works fine until I need to you need to precompose the two new layers. For the life of my I can't analyze how app.project.item (index).layers.precompose (layerIndicies, name, moveAllAttributes) is supposed to work. Here is the code I have so far:

  var theComp = app.project.activeItem;
  var theLayer = theComp.selectedLayers[0];
  
  
  app.beginUndoGroup("Luma Matte");
  
  lumaMatte();
  
  
  function lumaMatte(){
  for (i = 1; i <= 2; i++){
      var dupeLayer = theLayer.duplicate();
       if (i == 1){
          dupeLayer.name = theLayer.name + "_TINT";
          dupeLayer.property("Effects").addProperty("ADBE Tint");
          dupeLayer.property("Effects").addProperty("Curves");
          } else if (i == 2){
                  dupeLayer.name = theLayer.name + "_LUMA";
                  dupeLayer.trackMatteType = TrackMatteType.LUMA;
                  }
      }
  }
      
  
  
  app.endUndoGroup();
  

  Everything I try spit return an error "undefined is not an object. Where I think I'm lost is how to find the layerIndicies. Thanks to a table? In my view, that it should be through a table as the index of the layers will change from project to project. Any price. Thanks to all who can help.

  var theComp = app.project.activeItem;
  var theLayer = theComp.selectedLayers[0];
  var precompLayers = []; // our array with layer indexes
  
  app.beginUndoGroup("Luma Matte");  
  
  lumaMatte();  
  
  function lumaMatte(){  
  
  for (i = 1; i <= 2; i++){
      var dupeLayer = theLayer.duplicate();
  
      precompLayers.push(dupeLayer.index); // add duplicated layer index
  
       if (i == 1){
          dupeLayer.name = theLayer.name + "_TINT";
          dupeLayer.property("Effects").addProperty("ADBE Tint");
          dupeLayer.property("Effects").addProperty("Curves");
          } else if (i == 2){
                  dupeLayer.name = theLayer.name + "_LUMA";
                  dupeLayer.trackMatteType = TrackMatteType.LUMA;
                  }
      }  
  
  precompLayers.push(theLayer.index); // finally add first layer index
  
  theComp.layers.precompose(precompLayers, "Precomp", true); // precompose layers
  
  }  
  
  app.endUndoGroup();
  

• Work plan - layers jumping top of page

  In Photoshop CC2015, I use the new functionality of the artboard. Whenever I want to duplicate a layer or a group of layers, the layer or duplicate group jumps to the top of the artboard. Is any way to prevent this and simply duplicate a line above the original as usual?

  There are certainly undesirable behaviors here. We will look into it.

  In the meantime, try the option do slide on your layers in the Layers Palette and place the exactly duplicated layers where you stack layers.

• Characteristics of the artboard

  I'll explain my workflow and perhaps triggers a response to that.

  I created a work plan for iPad

  Created the design I wanted to see on this Board chart iPad

  It reproduces and reset the orientation is vertical also reset the design to fit properly based on the orientation of the new layout

  The two green., I've created tips art 2Plus for iPhone and horiz.

  I realized while I was doing changes to one of my work plans that these changes have been automatically passed on other my work plans.

  I tried other layers in the same plan of work and did not have the same action - it would be only to reflect changes to the current artboard and don't not tertiary work plans.

  It is:

  What is this function?

  Is there a documentation about this feature that would give me the knowledge of creating a link between all the duplicated layers of other work plans?

  I hope this makes sense.

  Hi Charlie,

  When you say: "I was changes to one of my work plans that these changes are automatically reflected on my other plans of work." are you referring to the artboard itself, or the content within each work plan?

  In theory, you can use a dynamic object that is bound to change the content of the layer in one place and recorded it in spin-off communities. The master of this smart object have would be in a separate PSD, however.

• Effect of Batman sign it please help

  OKAY in this tutorial at 01:50 there's a very cool way that words reveal themselves with the fire inside the batman logo. It would be fantastic if could someone tell how to do this effect...

  Please help me maybe explain to me how it's done, or just point me to a tutorial...

  

  When you want to replicate a start of effect by breaking down the coup in layers. I see a background, a form of Batman, acting as a mask for the text internal, fire, smoke, fire extending outside the mask, glow of the fire, revealing the background and the shape of Batman.  Besides the text down it's eight or nine layers. The form and substance are easy enough. The text is easy and so is hide text with the form. The hardest part is the fire and smoke. Systems of particles and noise fractal both can be used to simulate fire. You must use a copy of the layer text as a path for a transmitter of particles or a mask for fractal noise. Colorama could be used to add color to the fire. The duplicated layers of fire that are fuzzy and add or blend mode of the screen will give you the glow effect. Some animated masks may be the hot text.

  There is no single simple plug in a solution to this photo. It must be a combination of layers and blending modes. Google should point you on some text or burn on the fire tutorials for After Effects. You probably won't find a tutorial that will give you exactly that look, but if carefully, looking for and don't just take the first tutorial you will find, you can probably understand.

  Just so you know, if I were starting to create that effect of a customer I would probably give them an estimate of one day and a half.

• Why Photoshop CC beeps constantly when I do just about anything? (Included video example)

  Hi all

  Photoshop CC has recently started to beep every time I have to pretty much do anything. Here is a video of the ringer in action.

  The beep goes when I do the following things:

  Increase the size of the canvas

  Opens a new document

  Transfer an image from one document to another

  Duplicated layers

  Undo an action

  That's just what I'm pulling off the top of my head.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  ericM,

  I think that you are correct on the generator and beep.  This is a known issue.  See this thread.  http://forums.Adobe.com/message/5689473

• Fastening the large folds

  Dear all, or anyone

  I pulled a large portrait of my great aunt. The problem is that at 93, she has some very deep wrinkles.  It is an in your face close up, I want to tame and reduce the ominous shadow of wrinkles.

  Healing of the paint tools, blur, content aware all seem fake. I can't find the right places on his face for clone or sample.

  I tried to get Adobe using a different label for wrinkles.

  Any help please

  PS: This is my first post using the Adobe Forums... such a incredible and qualified people.

  There are several ways to achieve this.  You mentioned the blur.  Have you tried to duplicate the layer, it blurs, affecting the clarify, add blending mode a layer mask, then paint in the areas of wrinkles?  You can also split the image in frequentcies high and low by two duplicated layers.  Disable the upper and fuzzy layer to the background layer in order to remove the lines.  Turn on the top layer and select it.  Use apply Image with the subtract Mode.  Use the blur layer as the source layer and set the scale to 2 and the offset to 128.  Change the blending mode of the layer to linear light.  By doing this, you have a layer with all the details and the other with the colors and tones.  You can then edit that each separately with makes it easier to make corrections.  To reduce wrinkles by using this method: on the layer of detail, select a brush set to lighten blend mode with a color of neutral gray (128, 128, 128) with brush of low opacity on the wrinkles to clear them up.  You can set the brush to darken to hit the highlights of wrinkles.  To see what you do better, you can add a top layer of detail adjustment layer to increase the contrast, but change the layer of detail back to normal when editing.  You can then adjust the dark areas in the blurred layer that shows the wrinkles.

• Problem with vacuum created during a photomerge of 8 jpg images

  Hello

  I have a problem with a panoramic picture created using photomerge and 8 photos (with photoshop cc)

  The result was very good with the exception of a segment not very much aligned.

  I managed to put in place a few pixels and the picture is almost 'perfect', unless I have a sewing little empty space that I can not complete by any tools such as stamping, brushing, patch, or even paint.

  Now, I have a suspicion of snicking the problem lies in the layers, but I can't understand to create duplicated layers, and where possible.

  (I should try to merge the psd pcictures instead of jpg?

  Any ideas would be very welcome.

  Thank you

  Serge

  
  

  After you create the photomerge you have 8 layers.

  If you merge the layers into a new layer at the top of the layer stack by pressing Ctrl + Alt Shift + E (Cmd + Option + Shift + E), does make a difference?

• Frames/layers consistent duplicated in gifs problem

  Hello

  I was do gifs for years, using two load files in the stack and import video frames to layers scripts. For some reason, about six months ago, I started having problems with the video image import tool.

  This has happened on both my old laptop and on my current PC.

  Basically, I over the section of the video I want and let the images to load. I use all the frames, because I love my smooth gifs. But they are still restless. The layers and images that I do from them using the timeline are duplicated. When I make a gif executives should go 123456789 etc, one after the other. But now, most of the time, they're going to 11335577. Delete the images between the two does not it - I think that some of the images are reproduced on each after.

  This tends to happen more often when I'm giffing of animation videos, like YouTube video games records. I don't really know why that is.

  I have a new computer with a card NVIDIA GTX 745, but I appreciate that it might be related to that. I searched for months for a possible solution to this, and nothing has worked. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I use Photoshop CC.

  Thank you very much.

  Import video Frame to layers is word a script.   However, the function is limited to importation of 500 images and much ignore frames if you look its dialog box.  GIF also has very poor colors compared to the video and poor compression compared to the video.   You may be better to create an MP4 file, it may even have audio and very probably be smaller size then the GIF that has a poor color no sound. I had to cut it to 30 framse the GIF is still 1.6 MB

  

  

  This mp4 is to linger and 1.4 MB http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/bonjovi.mp4

• Dealing with layers of duplicated scenes

  I use Flash CS5.5. I had an unfinished work on flash 8 and I'm under actionScript

  2.0 in one of my scenes I came upwards with a right button set up I wanted to use in all of my

  scenes. So I have reproduced the scene and proceeded to rename my layers on

  the new scene according to new content in the form of bitmap images. Well well, on the output

  I got warnings such as: 'reproduced the label on layers. My SWF is always showing normally

  but I don't know what to do with the warnings. Is there something I should have done other than

  double clicking directly on the old labels on the layers and change his name?

  If you receive warnings for duplicate labels, then chances are that you missed to rename some.  When you compile a file that uses scenes, all the scenes come together to form a long timeline it is so preferable if you do not repeat the same labels in different scenes.  It might still work, but historically using only scenes can be problematic when you mix in navigation (I will not use them in my own work), nevermind complicate duplicate of the label.

• Duplicateing many layers...

  I have been away fom PS for a while. I used to know how to combine multiple layers into a new layer. But it has been awhile.

  Any suggestions?

  As I mentioned, if you want to make a flattened copy of layers all now individually hide them all other layers and press command-alt-shift-E or select them and convert to an object dynamic (layers exist in Society and can be changed there).

• Create a model that can be replicated, but will not show changes in the original model, which occurs in any comps duplicated from it?

  I imported a doc I - 4 layers. Then I dragged these 4 layers in a new comp - comp1. I would like to reproduce this model so that I can try different things using these same 4 layers. But when I duplicate the comp I did - comp 2 - any change I make appear in comp1. How can I create a model that can be duplicated - but will not show changes in the original model, which occurs in any comps duplicated from it? Thank you very much!

  (CS5.5)

  It is a common misunderstanding when you start working in Ae. It takes time to get used to, and even veterans are still this error from time to time. Here's the thing, you have to get in your head: your project Panel is where your source material is, and the timeline is the place where there is a representation of this source. This means that if you duplicate an item in your timeline (particularly relevant for the precomps) it will duplicate a copy, not the source. so, if change you it - it will change all instances of this copy. If you want to duplicate a precomp and create another source, you will need to do it in a 4 step operation:

  1. duplicate your precomp in the timeline (you got that day)
  2. Select the source of this copy in the project Panel (currently the same precomp)-right click on the-> precomp 'reveal the source layer project.
  3. duplicate the precomp selected in the project Panel
  4. replace the copy in your panel mounting with the duplicate of the Source Panel (shortcut - Ctrl + alt + / when both are selected, or drag it to double with pressing Alt)

  what you are really duplicate the precomp twice - once in the project window and once in the timeline, and then one link to the other.

• My layers panel will never appear when I opened PS CS6

  Every time I open Photoshop CS6, say I open a PSD containing like 9 or more layers. Well when I open it, the layers do not appear. In this example, I created a new file and duplicated the bottom 10 times and still without layers show.

  Until I click on the tab layers:

  

  The main problem is that Okay, I could press F7 or go to the window and CHECK the layers of the workspace.

  The problem is that when I close PS (it does not crash, I do not force the end) and reopen it, I do the same thing, because the layers panel is never active and is not checked in the tab of the window of the menu. Whenever I open PS I need to check and open the tab layers. I tried to make my own workspace, switch to another one, look for general preferences, but I still have no change. It's like the PS never recorded this preference and you will notice that the same thing is happening in the settings/Styles Panel. I like these perfectionist tendencies, so I know that this is not the end of the world just click tab or press F7, everytime I open the program, but somehow it makes me crazy, he is not supposed to happen and that's enough for me.

  Thanks in advance!

• Linking multiple layers to a main layer

  Hey there.

  I have a script in which I have a loop for duplicating a layer a certain amount of time.
  I was wondering how can I then bind the properties of the effect of all newly layers a copy to the original.

  I thought the PropertyGroup about my effect on each laye access and then, for each property, to set an expression, link to the original layer.
  Unfortunately, I couldn't find that whatever it is in the Witch of script references might I want to loop through all the properties of an effect.

  
  If my description was not clear... here's what I want (more or less) the script to:
  You have 1 layer with a 'fill' effect apllied on it.
  I want my script to duplicate this layer a certain amount of time and then bind the fill color of all new layers to the fill color of the original.
  Note that this is not my real script, just a simplified example of what I have to do.

  I would be very grateful if someone can give me an idea of how I might accomplish this, or refer me to where, in the guide to script, I can find more information about it.

  Thanks in advance

  The script guide said nothing about it.

  You must use the duplicate() layer and the effect, and then set a correct expression which will connect duplicates the original.

  To define an expression, simply do myProperty.expression = myExpression. (string)

  You must ensure that the initial layer and effect both have a unique name.

  Code example (works for most of the effects, except the paint and a few others, who has a tree of property more complex):

  var numDuplicates = 15;
  var comp = app.project.item(1);
  var mainLayer = comp.layer(1);
  var index = mainLayer.index;
  var mainEffect = mainLayer.effect("ADBE Fill");
  var effectPath = "thisComp.layer(\""+mainLayer.name+"\").effect(\""+mainEffect.name+"\")";
  
  // create a 1st duplicate, and link the effects properties:
  var dup = mainLayer.duplicate();
  var effect = dup.effect(mainEffect.propertyIndex);
  var n, N=effect.numProperties;
  for (n=1; n<=N; n++){
      if (effect.property(n).canSetExpression){
          effect.property(n).expression = effectPath+"("+n+");";
          };
      };
  
  dup.moveAfter(comp.layer(++index));
  
  // duplicate more times (numDuplicates-1 times)
  for (n=1; n
