I want to make a new layer of several elements on layers...
Hello
It's probably easy, but I can't understand it.
I have a multi document layers and I don't want to flatten things to do this.
Sure I can go the long road, but it has got to be a better way I just
do not know.
I drew a selection with the marquee tool. But the elements of this selection of are all separate
layers.
Without their merger, how can I make a new layer of this selection?
I'm on CS4
Thank you
Nikki
Stamp of several layers or linked layers
When you stamp multiple selected layers or linked layers, Photoshop creates a new layer containing the merged content.
Select more than one layer.
Press Ctrl + Alt + E (Windows) or command + Option + E (Mac OS).
Stamp all visible layers
Turn on visibility for the layers you want to merge.
Do one of the following:
Press Shift + Ctrl + Alt + E (Windows) or shift + command + Option + E (Mac OS).
Hold down ALT (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key, and then choose layer > Merge visible layers.
Photoshop creates a new layer containing the merged content.

Is there a way to make a new layer of a selection by simply dragging?
Recently, I watched a video of an artist working and I swear that looks like it's a selection lasso on a smart object layer, drag the selection and immediately created a new layer of the selection only. He was successively to the parts of the sample of an image for later use. I can't understand for the life of me how he did it, and I can't find anywhere that the PS has this ability. On the one hand lasso an area of a dynamic object does not allow me to reproduce that selection, PS is like I want to duplicate the entire image, if I hold down the ALT key. Also, if I try to make a duplicate of a selection to a layer non-smart object I can duplicate the selection by dragging in now ALT, but the duplicate is always on the same layer as the original object, which is NOT what I want. I know how to use copy and paste, so please do not suggest that I have to do this, OR use the CTRL + J I am just trying to understand what makes this person. If it makes no sense to me, I can provide a link to the video...
Perhaps you missed to copy it paste because he used the Ctrl + C Ctrl + V shortcuts that would not be seen in a video. It would look like a brake in a video...

Make a new layer with solid in photoshop
OK - so what I want to do is, I think, so easy that I cannot find directions on how to do. I'm almost embarrassed to ask, but I'm going:
I have several object filmed on a white background.
I'm creating masks so that objects which can be thrown on the white Fund and put a layout.
It has been suggested to me that a way to test the integrity of your masks is to create a layer as a background job, a really strong color like pink or neon green, so that you can easily see if your white (or pink/green) is sneaking through you mask
Problem is that I can't figure out how to create this substantive work.
Can anyone help? I know that is an easy question, but I can't understand it.
Thank you!

Hi all, I work in a small company and would like to have a generic template that back to new users when they start. He practices the company base on internet usage, storage of base directory, login, etc... I want that last page of a form that I fill to contain their user name, password, telephone etc... I've implemented the shape makes a .pdf file and used the form designer to implement the fields I want to have active. Now I don't know what to do. I deally, I want save a copy of the file for each user in a network folder, with their information on this subject, and the form fields locked after I'm done. I've been playing with the distribution of forms and appear not to do what I want, looks like it creates a single file with all the different updates. I want possible, or can I just keep the shape of the United Nations distributed and open / save for each user and hope that they erase their data?
Any help would be appreciated to gratly! Thank you!
Yes, for what you want to do create the form in Acrobat is the best way to go. Here are a few tips.
1. to flatten the page that contains the form field, use the flattenPages method. It is documented here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.466.html
So to flatten the last page of a document, you should do something like:
Convert fields on the last page to the other content
flattenPages ({start: numPages - 1});
For more information, see the tool flatten Page content that you can download here: http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/65.cfm
2. to save the changes in a new document, you can do this:
Trigger the menu item save as
app.execMenuItem ("SaveAs");
It will require a location and a name of daughter. More information: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.143.html
These two lines of code provide the minimum stripped for what you want.
For the backup operation, you probably want to eventually create your own routine to SaveAs in a JavaScript file to the folder level which also contains the code that implements a custom toolbar button that implements this.
For example (method addToolButton): http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.134.html
and (trustPropagator for example of method w/save as): http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.168.html
and (method trustedFunction): http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.167.html
Create your own routine to SaveAs to silently save the file to the desired location by using a file name based on the content of one or more form fields, for example.

I left my computer for my magic jack so I can receive calls. When I woke in the morning, there were two open windows. One was the new network
window and the other was the window asking if I wanted to do a home network or public. Does that mean someone hacked my computer?
The fact that my network connection now has a (2) beside it means I have now two netowrk connections runinning.
The system seems much slower and takes about 10 seconds to respond to the movements of the mouse if it has been sitting for awhile.
Help, please

Extraction of several masks on a layer in several respective individual layers.
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Is it possible (via the script?) to take, for example, a hundred masks on a layer (say a solid) and convert / / excerpt / / between each of these separate individual layers masks, ultimately creating a hundred layers each with a mask?
Congratulations in advance for your thoughts and time,
Six
I just did this search for "layers of mask script", and the second result (Christopher green) seems to be what you are looking for.

Keeping selected when you create a new layer of origin
Is it possible to "definitively" select a layer?
At the moment I just a single layer that I am trying to select a portion of and then new layer by cutting. Once this new layer is selected, I have to reselect the original layer before you replicate this process again.On the one hand, this seems really minor, on the other hand, really Basic. I assume that there is an easy way to do what I'm overlooking. I need to replicate this process a few hundred times and work with / export sections is not conducive to my endgoal.
possible?
Not a new layer will become the current target layer in Photoshop. It that way forever and a lot of things relies on this. If this was changed it would brake a lot. The best thing you could do is an action that would do what you want to do and make a shortcut you can use instead of "new layer via cut." The action would simply make a new layer by cutting then the Alt + [Select layers backward step.

I get rather belatedly faced with the new system of interpolation introduced in CS4. To be honest, it was a nightmare, but I'm starting to see its good points now.
One thing that always makes me crazy is when you create a new Tween and Flash creates a new layer for you and puts the interpolation inside. Why? And how he stop? During an animation of 10 min with a lot of preteens I could end up with hundreds of layers!
THX.
It creates a new layer when you have selected. This is because you can not interpolated element and non-interpolated on the same chassis (you can have non-interpolated elements on the same layer, but not shared image - as with any interpolation).
If you don't want to create a new layer, make sure that all is selected on that frame and it will create on the same layer.

With the Selection tool over new layer but becomes "the selected area is empty."
I have been working on an image in PS and I have a number of layers. First of all, several adjustment layers. Then I do various clean ups (especially with the cloning tool). I make a selection and then create a new layer. I'm on one of the layers again, I made a selection to move a part of the image, hit command-J but this time I get the error message: "could not make a new layer from the selection because the selection is empty. I understand the error but what would you suggest to go ahead?
Here is a picture of my current layers:

How can I remove the checkerboard drawing in a new layer in 2015 CC?
I'm doing some exercises drawing using layers with drawing on a layer underneath (opacity turned down). How can I get rid of the checkerboard design in each of the layers so I see what I paint more clearly? I named the layer and watched in the layers panel, but no luck. Thank you very much!
You realize that the Board is in fact the background, and that new layers without content allow you to see through to this context? You can fill the background with white, or you can disable the grid in Preferences > transparency, but all that will do is make each new layer appear to be filled with white, except that you will be able to see through the underlying layers.

Cannot drag image on stage in the new layer, the library?
For a text catalog assignment, it must make a new layer, then drag an image in the library panel on the stage, but it won't let me? The new layer is not the same aspect as the rest in the timeline too.
You must save it as an image (png, jpeg, gif). You have imaging software? If you have a PC, you should have the Paint program in your accessories. You can paste the screenshot into it and save it as one of these types.

Most likely, you need to update your graphics driver... Without knowing exact system information, nobody can help you specifically, however.

'create a new layer without dialogue' redefine shortciut
Hello.
A desire to redefine the default shortcut for the command 'create a new layer without dialogue' but I can't find this command in the shortcuts preferences.
What section of the preferences in photoshop cs6 shortcut, nested this command?
Thank you.
I don't think it's a shortcut that can be redefined as such in the command Editor, but you could use a script and assign a keyboard shortcut for the script.
The following script will make a new layer without the dialog box.
// =======================================================
var idMk = charIDToTypeID ("Mk");
var desc10 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID ("null");
var ref9 = new ActionReference();
var idLyr = charIDToTypeID ("Lyr");
Ref9.putClass (idLyr);
desc10.putReference (idnull, ref9);
executeAction (idMk, desc10, DialogModes.NO);You can copy the above script, paste into Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS6 , and then save the script in the cs6 Presets > Scripts folder in the program folder or the photoshop cs6 application.
(you can call it as you like, therefore the .jsxextension)
Then when you restart photoshop cs6, it should appear under file > Scripts and you can use the keyboard shortcuts Editor to assign a shortcut to the script.
What operating system do you use?

Make a new version of a book?
I have a file (on a Mac) that contains all the data for a book: the file x.indb, folders for each chaphter, that also contain images for this chapter.
I want to make a new version. Using the operating system I duplicated the record, he gave a new name, changed the name of the x.indb file and began to make changes. Then, I found that these changes appear also in the old book ID I spent many hours trying to isolate the two books, i.e. make a new book by the former.
What is the procedure to achieve this? It seems this would be a common process.
Thank you very much

What I want is a "clone" of Antiquarian Book: all the files copied with links to new files from X.idd to the new X.jpeg files, etc. I want an exact copy with consistent internal links that have nothing to do with the old book. I want to be able to remove the old book and don't see any effect on the new book.
It's easy. Just use book (Panel) > package book to print... It will copy the book, INDD files, and all related images, and it will update all links
to point to the new destination.
If, however, your goal is not to change the images linked, which is I think that the situation of RodneyA:
I do this all the time (each new edition of a newspaper), and I find it easier to simply create a new address book file and add the copies of documents chapter. This way you know all the links are correct.
There is an easy trick. Copy the book in the file system, if you wish. Then temporarily rename the folder that contains the old book and page layouts (they are in their own folder, right!). Now open your copy of the book and to ensure that all working documents. They will be updated to point to the new location (copied). Then rename back folder of your original book to what it should be called.
This process forces InDesign to search for files in the book when he can "find in their original path. Which is what you want.
