• change the color of text blocks only the active layer

  Well my script to change the color of the text frame changes the color of all the blocks of text hidden or not.

  I need to change only the visible text blocks.

  If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

  newCMYKColor = new CMYKColor();

  newCMYKColor.black = 0;

  newCMYKColor.cyan = 0;

  newCMYKColor.magenta = 0;

  newCMYKColor.yellow = 0;

  for (i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

  textArtRange = app.activeDocument.textFrames [i] .textRange;

  textArtRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newCMYKColor;

  }

  }

  Any ideas on how the way only change the color of the text on the active layer blocks? In the final script I want to hide all other layers so if it could be done by a visible attribute more easily that would work just as well.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It will work for you?  Have not tested much beyond text blocks in groups and those who are just stand-alone on the layer.

  If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

  var thisDoc = app.activeDocument;

  newCMYKColor = new CMYKColor();

  newCMYKColor.black = 00;

  newCMYKColor.cyan = 40;

  newCMYKColor.magenta = 50;

  newCMYKColor.yellow = 50;

  Need to retrieve blocks of text within the groups on the layer.

  var artSel = thisDoc.activeLayer.groupItems;

  for (i = 0; i<>

  If (artSel [i] .hidden == false) {}

  var text = .textFrames artSel [i];

  for (j = 0; j<>

  text [j].textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newCMYKColor;

  }

  }

  End to change the rest of the outside groups text boxes.

  var textArtRange = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textFrames;

  for (k = 0; k<>

  If (textArtRange [k] .hidden is false)

  textArtRange [k].textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newCMYKColor

  }

• JS CS4: Create the variable for the active layer, and then select the layer at the end of a script

  I'm come white with the verbiage and spin my wheels with OMV guide and script.

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (0);
  Alert (myOriginalLayer)

  Returns "layer object" and not the name of the layer.

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () .name;

  Returns the name of the layer I want but not by choice.

  I am challenged on how to select the layer.

  Hi John,.

  The difference lies in that the [Object Layer] is the real object, and the 'name' is a property - like color.

  You can use one of these two approaches:

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (0);
  Alert (myOriginalLayer.Name);

  hosts the original layer object, and you can see the name if necessary :-)

  For re - select the layer, use

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = myOriginalLayer;

  You can also select name goes like

  var myOriginalLayerNAME = app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () .name;

  ...

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (myOriginalLayerNAME);

  I also noted the following:

  app.activeDocument.layers.item (0) points to the first layer of your document; not the 'active'. Similarly, app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () points only to the very last. I don't know if the order of the activeDocument.layers array mimicks the order as shown in the tags palette, but I hope for it :-)

  To get/set the active layer, use app.activeDocument.activeLayer as shown above.

• A change from all the other layer styles layer style? Disable this option?

  I'm sure that there is a simple answer to this, but I can't seem to find it. When I apply a style to a layer in CS2, and lets say that I give it a drop shadow that is different (it is 110degrees instead of 90 degrees for example) compared with other shadows in my other layers, the layer style curent will change all the other layer styles in all areas. I looked everywhere for some settings to modify for each layer individual keeps his own style, but I can't seem to find it. I want that each layer to have his own style attribute and does not change the rest, how to fix this?

  Thanks for your help!

  You should uncheck the global light option in the layer styles dialog.

• relationship between the active layer and enable layer

  I use AE CC 12.2.1. I think that is not specific to the AE version but something general.

  When I read my layer by extendscript property, it shows layer.enabled = true and layer.active = false. If I change layer.enabled from false to true, the active property seems to follow the enabled property also.  I don't know the meaning of 'active', because even layer.active = false, there is no problem to manage the layer in AE.

  I would like to know something.

  1. How do the status layer.active to AE UI even I check it in the source of the script?

  2. What is the difference between layer.active = false and true?

  3. What is the relationship between the layer active and active layer?

  Thanks in advance.

  [Moved to After Effects - moderator script forum]

  In general, a layer is activated if the eyeball is on in the timeline panel. It is active if the layer is activated and that the model currently is between the points layer and output. You can control the active state. The active state is determined by the active state, in and out of the points and the current time.

  There are some exceptions (audio layers, other layers prone, etc.), but that's about all.

  The style layer blending mode Panel has no distance and angle option.  Some billboards as the bevel and Emboss layer effect are those that do not all effects...

  

• How the downloaded asl Styles if displayed in drop-down list window inside the elements?

  When I download a DSM format STYLE in the my Adobe Elements, it does not appear in the drop-down window for the Layer Styles. What should I do?

  I put it in the presets under Styles. I see others here. Of course, these are them that accompanies the program. Yes, I know this is an old program, but I'm used to working on it and cannot afford a new version at the moment. When I do the same for the brushes, they work, why not not the style?  What I am doing wrong?

  I have the value files not hidden and restarted my computer. Nothing works.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  I think remember having this same issue years ago under windows xp with pse 4.

  Here are a couple of things to try:

  (you probably won't have some of the items below, but that normal)

  (click on the screenshots below for more great views)

  1. go in C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\4.0\Editor

  and delete the PresetsCache.psp and Styles.psp and then start or restart PES 4 and see if it works.

  

  2. If still no go in C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\4.0\Editor

  and delete the Adobe Photoshop éléments 4 Prefs.psp and then restart pse 4.

  

• the related layer styles?

  I have a lot of layers with a style applied. If I want to change a style in each of them, that's what I'd do:

  -J' I would alter a style in one of them

  -I copy the style to which I've made changes

  -I would choose all the layers I want to look the same

  - and I would like to paste the style to all the

  When there are not only many layers to be apllied a style, it works fine, but I have MANY layers with the same style.

  So is it possible, to change the saved style then it would be reapplied to the layers with such style automatically?

  Or y at - it a way to bind styles? To say somehow to Photoshop if I do change to this style on this layer the same change should be applied to these layers?

  Or in any other simple way

  Thank you!

  Alisa

  Hello, Alisa, are the layers with different style? If this isn't the case, it could be a dynamic object you want to duplicate, and changes in one could be replicated in other.

  OR you can select all layers that have the layer Style, put them in a smart object and then apply a style to the SO.

• Unable to complete the command reverse because the active layer is empty

  Help!

  I think you're misunderstanding 'Reverse' what about and you really mean "Fill."

  Try this

  (1) take your image and create a new layer by clicking the marked icon. Do not put a lock on this layer as it crashes the layer

  

  (2) make sure that your foreground color is black as below

  

  3)

  Now with the blank layer selected press alt-backspace or option-back on the keyboard and the new filled layer of black

  

  (4) I don't know your reason for wanting to invert the layer, but if you pressed ctrl-I or command I'm going now you change the fill color of black to white.

• How to select the active layer?

  It seems that to resize the layer must be selected (from the UI perspective) and active from the point of view API. Otherwise, I get error on any function call that this function is not supported.

  So I didn't before resizing

  var a = doc.artLayers.getByName("iPad");
  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = a;
  

  It does not visually change layer selected, calling so resize function fails after that. The only way to make it work, manually click Layer (all), then it works.

  What is the right way to resize the layer without user interaction?

  Hi Pashkatarakashka

  Now, try this code...

  var app.activeDocument = docRef;

  docRef.activeLayer = docRef.backgroundLayer;

  var layerRef = docRef.layers.getByName ("iPad");

  docRef.activeLayer = layerRef;

  layerRef.resize (120, 120, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);

• Some how I changed something and now my brush not to sample the colors of all the layers, only the active layer.

• Free transform bounding forming around an empty space, not the active layer.

  I don't know if it is a bug in PS or if I have some weird settings, I can not understand. I searched for the answer everywhere and can't find it.

  Here is what happens:

  I chose a layer, I hit cmd + T to transform free layer. Usually, would the bounding box around the object in the layer, I hit cmd + T, but he chose some other empty place instead. As if there was something else there.

  Nothing is selected (I even hit Ctrl + D to make sure that everything has been disabled and I wasn't trying to transform a selection)

  It is not just the keyboard shortcut (if I go into editing / transformation / scale, it does the same thing)

  Any layer I'm on, he chooses the same pristine "process."

  I think that I have a weird setting, I can't figure out how to turn off! Any ideas?

  Hello, pls check these things:

  -When you have the object selected in the tools Panel tool, in the control bar is the option 'display the transform control"off? If it is enabled, the bounding box will be visible around the object on the layer, even if there is no selection, and they are almost not visible. If you think that there is an empty place, you can first try to remove it (Ctrl / Cmd + A + cancelled)

  -did you use the "Crop" tool on this document, without the option 'Remove the pixel crop' on? In this case, the content of the layer exceeds the window.

  -pls check the channel Panel if you are on a specific channel, e.g. one channel Alfa and not on the colors.

  I don't know if you can be on one of these situations. Another test you can do is make a new file and check if the problem is still there, that way you can test if the problem is the specific document or a general problem.
