• 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 the artboard and move it over the original?

  Basically, I have a document open and want to duplicate its work plan and then move it to a new location (the X axis, the original 50pixels). Doesn't seem too hard, but I can't understand it. This is for CS5.

  var app.activeDocument = docRef;

  var abSrc = docRef.artboards [0];

  var abSrcX = abSrc.artboardRect [0];

  var abSrcY = abSrc.artboardRect [1];

  var abSrcW = abSrc.artboardRect [2];

  var abSrcH = abSrc.artboardRect [3];

  abSrcX = abSrcX + 1221;

  var abSrcRect = [abSrcY, abSrcW, abSrcX, abSrcH];

  dupAB var = docRef.artboards.add (abSrcRect);

  The above works a bit. Original work plan is 17 "x 11" (1224px x 792px) and when I put abSrcX to the foregoing 1221, extendscript throws an error PARM. During one of my sessions of trials and errors, I decided to see what was the document geometricBounds:

  $.writeln (docRef.geometricBounds); = 45-12, 1221.154296875,-780

  So now, I see a bit where I can't go more than 1221, but why can't I?

  I moved the artboard for everything at the top left of the document and I got the geometricBounds again and they were - 6754.5,7038.5,-6463.5, 6736.5, but still can not abSrcX anything about 1221.

  the error is "error Illustrator: 1246458189 ("PARM").

  I tried to understand this is what courses I can think, but nothings working. Any input or help would be GREATLY appreciated!

  EDIT:

  So I tried this for the hell of it:

  var abSrcX = 0;

  var abSrcY = 1224;

  var abSrcW = 1224;

  var abSrcH = 792; (for some reason any 792 translates into 6 "inside the Illustrator, so I put this 432 to make 11")

  var abSrcRect = [abSrcY, abSrcW, abSrcX, abSrcH];

  dupAB var = docRef.artboards.add (abSrcRect);

  and it adds a new work plan and move to X, Y, such that designated. Not exactly what I want, but narrowing down the issue.

  I'm trying

  var abSrcX = 1224;

  var abSrcY = 0;

  var abSrcW = 1224;

  var abSrcH = 792;

  var abSrcRect = [abSrcY, abSrcW, abSrcX, abSrcH];

  dupAB var = docRef.artboards.add (abSrcRect);

  and he throws that error PARM still once, then now there is really no sense!

  Edit2: I changed abSrcY to 10000 and now the height of the artboard is really long, which is insane even more... I don't have the (x, y, width, height) artboardRect down wrong?

  Edit3: If after one more google search, I found out what the problem is. artboardRect is HIGH, LOW, LEFT, RIGHT; and when I do:

  var abSrcX = 1368;

  var abSrcY = 0;

  var abSrcW = 2592;

  var abSrcH = - 792;

  var abSrcRect = [abSrcY, abSrcW, abSrcX, abSrcH];

  top down right and left;

  dupAB var = docRef.artboards.add (abSrcRect);

  This works. BUT I have no idea what the numbers are in relationship with. The center of the artboard? The document Centre? And if I run it again and change... oh dear.

  I think that I just thought of it.

  abSrcX is on the LEFT;

  abSrcY is HIGH;

  abSrcW is RIGHT;

  abSrcH is DOWN;

  Considering that if I add (1224 + 144) to abSrcX and abSrxW, it creates another work plan 2 "away from the previous 17" x 11 ". If I want to run again, I just have to add (1224 + 144) abSrcX and abSrxW again. Now to find a way to do it dynamically on the fly.

  I still like to hear comments on the question of whether this is good or bad, and how I can improve!

  @clrx01,.

  Why do you work with width and height work plan?

  IMHO you need what only once.

  var abSrc = docRef.artboards[abIdx];
  
  var moveX = 50;
  
  var abSrc_L = abSrc.artboardRect[0];
  var abSrc_T = abSrc.artboardRect[1];
  var abSrc_R = abSrc.artboardRect[2];
  var abSrc_B = abSrc.artboardRect[3];
  
  var next_ab_L = abSrc_R + moveX;
  var next_ab_T = abSrc_T;
  var next_ab_R = next_ab_L + (abSrc_R - abSrc_L) ;
  var next_ab_B = abSrc_B;
  
  //top left right bottom;
  
  var next_ab = docRef.artboards.add([next_ab_L, next_ab_T, next_ab_R, next_ab_B]);

• How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

  How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

  I recently had to format my hard drive and reinstall iTunes 12.3.2.35 on my Win7 PC. As part of the re - install iTunes, I clicked on the button scan for music.  This has created duplicates several of my songs.  I deleted then the duplicate songs from iTunes, but when I went to play a few songs a pop-up said "the song would not be because the original could not be found.  You want to locate? "When I tried to locate the song it is not found, but when I pulled the songs out of the trash they could be found.

  How can I keep the original and remove any duplicate songs in iTunes on PC Win7 which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

  iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

  Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

  Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

  Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

  (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

  The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

• How to record the numbers and words in the same file

  Hello:

  I did a vi where I record the spectrum and its integration in different positions of a two-dimensional net. I save the information in two spreadsheet with the comand "write to file measure."

  Now, I am recording the parameters initial positions, end X X and space between measurement points. I want a file with two columns that looks like:

  Initial position X 1000

  final position X 2000

  space 100

  But idon't know how to save the words and numbers in the same file.

  As I have to perform several steps I want to automatically choose the name of the file (something like parameters_1, parameters_2...)

  Thank you for your attention

  Hi bitxor.

  You can use all the functions of the WriteTotext file to write strings to a file.

  Then you could set up WriteToMeasurementFile' to add new data to existing files (instead of overwrite or renaming)...

  BTW. It is not a good idea to mix lvm files containing arbitrary spreadsheet data!

• 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

  Try this code...

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  with(docRef) {

• How to copy a layer and its mask layer to another image?

  With the help of PSE9, how a copy a layer and its mask layer to another image?

  Online Help includes a topic on how to copy a layer but try the different methods in the help topic results in either nothing copied or just the layer without his mask layer is copied.  Thank you.

  How did you get a copy?  If you float your images so that they are both partially visible in the work area, make one with the being copied the active layer.  Then, drag the layer in the layers palette on the other image.  Now you should have both the layer mask on the second image.

• How to use the capture and the print button

  I tried to figure out how to use the capture and the "print" button, or add or what you call. I press it and the whole page of a different color changes, so I try to cut the section I want but I don't know how to send it to the printer. Can someone help me with this. I'm not at savvy with tech stuff, but when I find a recipe or something and it doesn't have an option to print a certain area, I can't understand how to use it?

  Thank you

  Andi Starbuck

  That happens to me is, I click and drag to make a rectangle of yellow selection, and as soon as I raise my finger on the mouse button, the part I've selected is captured as an image, a new tab opens and preview before printing, the image display. I can use the installation of the Page or simply print. But if I close the preview, this temporary image vanishes and I'm back on the page where I started. You see something different?
