• 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.

  #target photoshop

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

  theDoc var = app.activeDocument;

  var theLayer = theDoc.activeLayer.duplicate (theDoc.activeLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);

  theLayer.name = "test";

  theDoc.activeLayer = theLayer

  };

• How to duplicate a layer and then change the adjustment layer?

  This used to be easy to PS7, but he is evasive in CS4. Sometimes we need to duplicate a layer, then change the adjustment layer. For example, we may have selected a portion of an image and used the brightness contrast and then we need to create a new layer using the same section using selective correction. What we have done in the past, is to duplicate the layer, and then change the adjustment layer. Any ideas?

  Create your new adjustment layer. Option drag the mask layer on the new original setting, and then choose replace.

  Beware of the many similar masks:

• How to duplicate a layer with all of its attributes?

  Hi all experts of the AE,.

  I know it's a simple question, but it makes me against the wall.

  I have 8 layers.

  I want to copy the layer to layer 4 and put at between 4 and 5 layer layers.

  How do I do that?

  Thank you

  Press Cmnd/Ctrl + D

  or go to Edition > duplicate

  

  As you can see on the screenshot keyboard shortcuts are shown next to the command. It's really basic things. Maybe you should go through this video of Adobe TV.

• How to duplicate three rectangles at once without grouping?

  How to duplicate three rectangles at once without grouping?

  Each rectangle is on another layer.

  Duplicate a rectangle at a time as I can, but not this way.

  I will duplicate the rectangles in the second document.

  At most I might like this: (but it cannot be so because there must be rectangles).

          function ItemByRange(){
              var sourcepage = app.documents[0].pages[0];  
              var destpage = app.documents[1].pages[0];  
              sourcepage.pageItems.itemByRange(app.documents[0].pages[0].rectangles[1], app.documents[0].pages[0].rectangles[4]).duplicate(destpage);  
              }
  

  I use InDesign CS6 and CC, JSX, .vbs. Mac and PC.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I tried other ways but always appears a problem.

  This is the result

  I wrote that does not have problems positioning of objects between them and their layers.

  Example usage of three labels:

  var findLabels = new Array("Name","Photo","Company");
  var joinLb = findLabels.join();
  var result = myAttempt_18 (joinLb);
  alert("Duplicate objects: " + result);
  
  function myAttempt_18(joinLabels){
      var resultLength = 0;
  
      var sourceDoc = app.documents[0];
      var sourceObj;
  
      var destDoc = app.documents[1];
      var destpage = destDoc.pages[0];
      var destSameLayer = new Array();
      var destArrayObjs = new Array();
      var duplicateObj;
  
      with (sourceDoc.pages[0]){
          for (var h = pageItems.length-1; h >= 0; h --){
              sourceObj = pageItems[h];
              if (sourceObj.label != ""){
                  if (joinLabels.indexOf(sourceObj.label) > -1 ){
                    duplicateObj =  sourceObj.duplicate(destpage);
                    destArrayObjs.push(duplicateObj);
                    destSameLayer.push(sourceObj.itemLayer.name);
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
  
      if (destArrayObjs.length > 0 ){
          resultLength = destArrayObjs.length;
          destDoc.select(destArrayObjs, SelectionOptions.replaceWith);
          destGroup = destDoc.groups.add(destDoc.selection);
          destGroup.move ([0,0]);
          destDoc.select (destDoc.selection, SelectionOptions.removeFrom);
          destGroup.ungroup();
  
          for (var L = 0; L < destArrayObjs.length; L ++){
              destArrayObjs[L].move (destDoc.layers.item(destSameLayer[L]));
              }
          }
        return resultLength;
      }
  

  This script will be part of another larger script.

  The code isn't beautiful, but you can use.

• How to duplicate layers & groups without automatically add a "copy", "copy 1", "# copy" at the end of the new group.

  How to duplicate layers & groups without automatically add a "copy", "copy 1", "# copy" at the end of the new group.

  He has been harassing me for a while now, since I often work with the same elements over and over again. His frustration of having to change the name of each layer manually, especially if I copy an entire group.

  Is there a setting in Photoshop or maybe an external script that can help solve this problem for me?

  See you soon,.

• Duplicate the layer just above the layer source by script

  Hello

  I'm trying to duplicate the layer by using script. Layer duplicated only taking place at the beginning of the order of the layers. I want the duplicate layer just above the layer.

  I got this forum.

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;  
  with(docRef) {  
           var ll = docRef.activeLayer ; 
           var ln=ll.name;
           var ol = layers.getByName(ln);  
                 ll.visible = false;  
          var nl = layers.add();  
           nl.name = 'Duplicated Layer';  
           for (var a = ol.pageItems.length-1; a >= 0; a--) {  
                ol.pageItems[a].duplicate(nl, ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);  
                nl.visible = true;
           }  
      }  
  
  //~ ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE); // moves it above a group named 'my group' in the stacking order  
  //~ ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER); // moves it below a group named 'my group' in the stacking order  
  //~ ElementPlacement.INSIDE); // moves it inside a group named 'my group', at the top of the stacking order  
  //~ ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // moves it inside a group named 'my group', at the top of the stacking order just like ElementPlacement.INSIDE  
  //~ ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
  

  

  I duplicated the layer 2 and place it at the top. Strange.

  Help, please

  Kind regards

  Kitty

  Try this code...

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  with(docRef) {
      var ll = docRef.activeLayer ;
      var n=docRef.layers.length;
      x=ll.zOrderPosition;
      var ln=ll.name;
      var ol = layers.getByName(ln);
      ll.visible = false;
      var nl = layers.add();
      nl.name = 'Duplicated Layer';
      for (var a = ol.pageItems.length-1; a >= 0; a--) {
          ol.pageItems[a].duplicate(nl, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
          nl.visible = true;
      }
      docRef.layers.getByName("Duplicated Layer").move(docRef.layers[n-x], ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER);
  }

• How to duplicate a payload in a BPM process?

  How to duplicate a payload in a BPM process?

  Thank you

  The screenshot of the process the Workflow tool that you used looks like it helped a split occurs with no melting downstream point.

  This is not allowed in BPMN.  Parallel and inclusive gateways must have a downstream melting point.  Because the model you have described has no melting point, it would be better managed using an activity to send without being involved a bridge.

  Once this activity send is called, another process (or service) is called asynchronously.  In this case, the process called can contain activities that you are showing "Path 2".  Once the send activity is called, the work item instance continues to the next step of the original process automatically and would go maybe through the series of activities that you testify "Path 1".

  Here is a recent blog post that I wrote which describes the patterns of different processes supported in BPMN and Oracle BPM: model processes using BPMN BPM | AVIO Consulting

  Hope this helps,

• When I try to duplicate a layer from one file to the other why appears a window of "displacement"?

  When I try to duplicate a layer from one file to the other why appears a window of "displacement"? What should I do?

  Never seemed this before.

  Thank you

  I can't reproduce this. The layer as you try to duplicate a smart object and there a displacement map? Looks like you might need to reset your preferences.

• How to copy a layer from one project to another draw in Adobe

  Hi Seffrog,

  No, I'm sorry, he's not. You can duplicate a layer, but there is currently no way to move it to another project or canvas.

• How trim/split a layer in After Effects?

  I started to animate using Adobe after effects CC 2015 and I have a few questions about the layers.

  I am aware that I can cut down them to the help option and support keys, however, what I wanted to do was to divide the layer so that there a gap between the two.

  For example, layer 1 is visible between 0:00 and 01:00, but what I wanted was to appear again at 02:00, leaving a blank in the middle section from 01:00 to 02:00.

  The only way I found to do this was to duplicate the layer then adjusting, but it requires a huge amount of layers.

  # You can do it in first however. The stuff you are talking about sounds a lot like video editing. AE is not a video editing software. This kind of thing is much faster and easier in the first.

  As Rick says, you can press CTRL / CMD + SHIFT + D to divide a layer. You can then adjust the layer or whether a second more to come, but it will be on a new layer. Alternatively, you can use hold keyframes on the opacity of the for keep on the same layer.

  How to duplicate an image into elements 14?

  On the file menu of the editor, you have the option of 'double' that creates another instance of the file that you are working; You can duplicate your work with layers or flattened. The duplicate remains only in ram until you save it.

  If you want to simply save a file as a copy, use the file menu > save as and give another name.

  From the Organizer, you can select one or more files and use the 'Export' function to create copies. Process allows you to redimensionnerez, rename the file exported.

• Is it possible to use scripts to duplicate a layer?

  I recently asked this question in the Illustrator forum that I did not know there was a separate script forum: find and replace text problem

  I finished just dangling down and solve my problem after spending a few hours just to experiment with script guide.

  Now, I'm finishing the final piece of the puzzle for this script which would be totally solved my problem. Is it possible to make the script duplicate a layer? There is a duplicate() function, but it seems not to apply to the layer element. Is there a work around?

  Thanks for your help

  Regarding javascript:
  -CS5, you must name a new layer, called the same name as your source for baptism layer and then duplicate each element of the source for the new layer.

  Be aware that things such as graphical styles, layer, opacity masks on layers and sublayers don't get carried forward like that.

  However, with the CS6 + that allows a script to play an action, you can actually get "whole enchilada" by recording an action where you go into the menu drop down and use the "Duplicate" command This will save "layers > duplicate Selection" in action. Then, you can use javascript to target your desired layer and play this action. Your new layer will be a string of "copy" added automatically, so you can choose to delete or modify that.
