How to consolidate the existing layers into a new layer at the top of the stack?

If I have several layers that contribute to the current view of an image, how can I create a new layer at the top of the stack, which brings together all the layers that contribute to the view without destroying the existing layers? Thank you.

Shift + Ctrl + Alt + E or Shift + Cmd + Option + E (mac)

Merge Visible (stamp visible) in a new layer at the top of the layers stack so the top most layer is active (targeted) and visible

    can it be done apart from copy and paste into a new layer?

    If you want to copy (not move) a layer to another file, click and drag the layer in the layers Panel on the other image.

    'Move' means remove the layer from the source file.

  • How to consolidate the two volumes?

    Friends:

    My catalogue "somehow" has become divided into two volumes A and B.  A 60 000 and B has 5 000 files.  How to consolidate volumes?  [I want A to have all 65 000 images]

    (Later, I want the other volumes being simply a bakup)

    I want to add volumes to A and B are my Master Library, with each divided into folders for years and each year, there are folders for each event.  Both volumes have the same folder hierarchy.

    Please share your strategy and enlighten me.

    1 million thanks!

    I see. The situation that LR does not display files and/or images are on the hard drive even occurs because changes were made outside of LR.

    LR is depebdent on its database (the ' catalogue') and not just 'see' what is on the hard drive. When you change files of the image outside LR won't 'see' the new situation - so that you get something on your hard drive and another thing in LR.

    Because LR works this way, it is best that you do all of your image management - movement and rename folders and images - LR only. Then, Lr will always display the correct situation.

    Now to your situation:

    You say that your readers A und B have exactly the same content. So - at the level of the hard drive - a single disc is a backup copy of the other. It's OK because you want a backup of your images.

    So don't change anything on your hard drives.

    For LR you must decide: do you want to have a set of images - those on the drive or disk B - LR?

    Or you want to have two identical sets of images in LR?

    LR is not designed to actually manage duplicates - files that have the same file name. It's OK, as long as the duplicates are in different folders or on different drives.

    This is why I suggest that it is easier if you have only a single drive in LR.

    If you choose to have only the readers in LR then click photos B (the one with only 5000) of disk, and select .

    If you want both of your drives in LR, then click your player B (the one with only 5000 photos) and select . Synchronize the file will import photos (and files) that are on the disk, but not in the LR and delete photos (and files) that are not on the disk.

  • Adobe Muse and edge animate - how to consolidate the files on the ftp/server?

    Hi all

    I'm working on a site, and I've recently added edge animations animate.  They look great, but the only problem I encounter is that the site load faster I want that there.  I did a few speed test and I think that what is originally the loading time is that I have about 5 edge animations animate different and they each have their own folder separately with their own javascript into a folder called "assets".

    Is there a way to consolidate the "assets" folder, so that my site loads more fast?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, VelveteenWebDesignGroup-

    You're in luck!  Add us in a feature in the latest version of edge animate CC (3.0) to activate the CDN for OAM option publish (what we call the "animate Deployment Package").  This means that your animated compositions can now reference jQuery and the runtime Animate the network rather than from the project directory.  (Please note that this will only feel for the integration of Dreamweaver and Muse with OAM and will not make sense for InDesign.)

    To enable this, launch Animate and go to file > publishing settings.  Select the Deployment Package animate on the left and click on 'executable files on Adobe CDN to host.  Save and publish, and you should be good to go.

    Hope this helps,

  • How to clear the stack

    Hi friends,

    I have a small doubt

    here in my application I'm just pushing the screens I'm not poping up screens.

    Here, I want to keep that one version of data not multiple versions of the data

    That's why I push screens here I am pressing back I go to the previous screen that was stored in the stack. I want this fun.that why I'm not poping up screens.

    so I want to burst the screens not set screens.

    example:

    I'm open to a single screen 5 times

    I want to blow this screen 3 times not all (that form only).

    is it possible then to give me the idea.

    Please help me it is urgent.

    Thank you

    Here is a code example.  This would be a method of your screen and will be called if you want to go to a new screen, but do not let the current screen on the stack.

    {} public void swapToScreen (next screen)

    UiApplication.getUiApplication () .pushScreen (nextScreen);

    UiApplication.getUiApplication.popScreen (this);

    }

    Code of Kiran_b seems fine for what it is, which is a way to erase the current stack.  You said

    "it does not.

    This unfortunately isn't a description of the problem very useful is?  How about explaining what you did, what happened, and what you expected more in detail.

  • Paste it into a new layer problem

    I get an error when I try to paste an object or text in a new layer in Illustrator.

    I'll create a new layer and select it in the layers palette, but when I go to paste the object or the text fits in the layer it comes.

    I tried to lock all other layers, and then selecting the layer new/unlocked to stick in, but then I get the:

    "you try to paste or drag one or more layers that are hidden or locked"... but the layer is NOT locked or hidden.

    any help?

  • How can I move an image in a new layer

    I hope someone could help me.  I need to pass only an image of an image in a new layer with a white background.  I tried everything and can not make it work.  If someone could help with this, I would be grateful thanks TI.

    Have you selected all before copying?

    Otherwise if you select a part of an image, once completed the outline press (mobile dotted) Ctrl + J (Cmd + J) which will copy into a new transparent layer. You can drag a white background below.

  • How to consolidate the files 2 GB hard into one?

    I have created a virtual machine from a physical Windows XP system by having the converter on read a True Windows Disk Image backup and he managed to create a virtual machine that has copied on my iMac and I can run with the merger.  But he created the virtual machine with 20 files hard physical between 1 G and a little less than 2 GB (myVM - s001.vmdk myVM - s019.vmdk and myVM.vmdk).

    I would like to get this in one hard file.  How can I do this on Mac OS X?

    Thank you

    Manager of vdisk is stored in/Library/Application Support / VMware Fusion / it is a terminal application, so if you open terminal and drag it in there and press ENTER, you will receive the individual options.  It is a sophisticated method to change your virtual machine.  In your case, he translated the virtual disk in the format that you specify.  It actually creates another virtual machine with the same information inside, so when completed, you should have two.  The difficulty with that is that you need a space left on your computer to make a new.  So for example in the terminal if I enter the following command it must create a new virtual machine with the same information but a monolithic disc rather than split it into 2 GB pieces.   "/ Library/Application Support/vmware-vdiskmanager-r/Users/user_name/Documents/Virtual\ Machines / Windows\ Professional XP\ / Windows\ XP\ Professional.vmdk t 0 Users/username/Documents/Virtual\ Machines/XP_Pro.vmdk.

    This should create a single expandable virtual disk inside your virtual computers folder.  From there, you can create a new virtual machine using an existing virtual drive and choose this disc.

    The other way to do this sort of thing would be to vCenter Converter allows you to create a new virtual machine disks.

    Normally, if you have a snapshot and enter the section hard drives options will be grayed out and there will be a notification that says "these parameters is not editable so that the virtual machine has a snapshot.  To make these changes, first delete all snapshots. »

    If you open your .vmwarevm there will probably be snapshot files there which depends on the virtual machine.  Fusion can sometimes lose the recording of snapshots during an upgrade to a superior fusion version if the virtual machine has snapshots.

  • How to consolidate the catalog?

    I have 6000 + photos across multiple drives and 100s of files. I need everything on a single hard drive in a folder. SELECT ALL - MOVE does not move all, only a few small random subset? Restore backup does not build a location even if original location is not checked. Help Adobe does not help.  I am looking for a new program to better organize my catalog, unless this can be done easily.

    Any ideas?

    While you were trying, I practice

    Just for fun to test and prove my point, I did the following:

    -Create a backup of a catalogue of 36 000 pictures (109 pictures GB) located on several drives to an external USB drive.

    -Create another a second catalog of photos of 6,000 after write metadata to files.

    -restore the first requirement in a single master folder on a second internal drive in another computer.

    -restore the other into a subfolder of the folder above to the new computer

    -the catalogue created by the first (main) restoration, I did a file/get pictures / files and folders for the second restoration of the first catalogue restored files.

    What has been the result in my restored main catalog?

    -nothing has been changed my tags, albums and categories to my main catalog

    -a new category of master 'imported' keywords was automatically created and all the second catalog tags have been recovered.

    -the second restoration to create catalog a new catalog for pictures of 6,000, exactly the same as the catalog saved (in a custom location)

    As I said above, the categories and tags for the second catalog have been automatically merged with those of the main catalog, should be something like an hour to do it manually.

    However, I lose nothing categories, albums and creations of the second catalogue, since the restored second catalog is still available from its restoration.

    The very basic move of files in a catalog is simply display the folders in the left panel, dragging files to another location (folder of drive or master). It's more easy and different merger or 'consolidate' catalogs (databases).

    I understand that you may need more details and explanations for results above, so please ask.

  • How to reverse a PSD file that combined layers into a single layer...

    Hello

    I'm not sure what happened, but I got a PSD file, I was working with multiple layers and then I saved a PDF file of the file and I think I may accidentally active files somehow because now my PSD file layers are combined in a background. How to cancel it (somehow liberate all the layers in the file again)? I need to send the PSD file with all its layers available for editing, and I have no idea how to solve this problem.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

    ashmic19

    Unless you have a copy backup of the PSD layered, you can't. Once flattened and saved, you can never restore flattened layers, they are gone. Sorry... better is to save several copies so in this case in the future you don't suffer that again.

    Vincent,

    Crossposting: I was the addition of the procedure (which I posted accidentally before finishing).

    Here's the Bill:

    But you can create a selection across layers as follows, using the drop down selection:

    Select objects, then > Save selection, selection of a name;

    After that, the choice is displayed at the bottom of the drop-down list selection, available for selection (sorry)
