• Importing Photoshop files with layers in AE

  Hello

  I have a file with layers photoshop and here to import into AE as composition (no images) so that I can retain its layers. However, when I try to import the ps, it has not imported layers.  He has not even invite me with the dialog 'layer option '.  When I try to open the other ps file at random, they have worked very well. So I think it's something to do with my photoshop file.

  Any help appreciated.

  Post a screenshot of your Photoshop file and the layers panel, unless it is in CMYK color (or possibly the Lab colors). If this is the case, change the color in RGB.

  There is no reason to not have the option to import as a composition in the first dialogue, but the file will import that only a single layer and may not work at all.

  

• Cannot save a PNG file with alpha channel transparency format

  I try to send a PNG file with transparency channel alpha on my Zenfolio web page. It is a custom application of copyright law that I do.  When I save the file, cs5, and I select Save in PNG, in the window, I get a message error/alert that says "the file should be saved as a copy with this application.  I'm not allowed to select the Alpha channel option.

  I think that I have a setting in CS5 that is making this happen, but I'm not smart enough to understand.

  What happens when I have when even save it and upload this file to my Zenfolio website is copyright logo has a cloud of sorts with it. It's the rest of the House generated page which should be, but is not transparent.

  PNG does not support alpha channels, only one channel of transparency.

  Just make the image with transparency and save in PNG.

• Export to the file with Alpha layer

  Hello

  I m looking to create an Automation that takes each layer in a Photoshop Document and export it to a TIFF file with an Alpha channel.

  There was very little action that export the layer selected as a TIFF with Alpha and there is of course the function of 'layer to export to files '.

  I don't know how I can combine these functions, and it would be great if I could get this feature in a droplet.

  Maybe you can guide me in the right direction

  It treats pixel and the type of layers and masks on the groups would apply, perhaps you want to give it a try.

  Save your hair without transparency, but with pixels alpha channels and layers type;

• How to import multiple files with the same parameters psd?

  Hi all

  I'm working on a project that requires me to import batches of psd (about 300-400 PSD) files. now when I import PSD files, I have to click all the dialog boxes appearing individually seeking to import the PSD as all merged layers or as sequences.

  now, I have to click 'ok' to all these Photoshop PSD.

  are there not in a way where I can import all Photoshop PSD with the same settings applied to all?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Kind regards

  Unfortunately, the answer is no: one at a time.

  That's all. Thank you for the help.

• bug in fireworks CS4 at 24/32-bit with alpha transparent png export?

  Hello

  I recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3 and am very disappointed that the ease of export png to 24 or 32 bit png is then useless on my installation of fireworks (Vista). I have a colleague who reported the same behanviour on his mac.

  Please see this file png native fireworks CS4 and the attempt to export it as 24 or 34 bit png, ensuring the canvas is transparent (it shuold be already)...

  http://www.capitalh.NET/demo-bug.PNG

  The visualization mode in CS3 would show the png with its alpha channel, indicated by the transparency checkerboard. Exporting as well would produce the desired result > a PNG with an alpha nice mix channel.

  Viewing in preview in CS4 mode displays an horrible rendering of the image on a white background. Export the image gives the same result. Please see this link for confirmation:

  http://www.capitalh.NET/demo-bug-export.PNG

  Please also see this simple image, this time using a simple ellipse shape:

  http://www.capitalh.NET/demo-bug-export-SimpleShape.PNG

  You will notice that it is not transparent, and the ellipse has not been smoothed.

  Anyone can shed light on this behavior?

  Export of png as such is something I do every day at work, and is a fundamental requirement of an image editting application targeted to web site design.

  I'm doing something wrong? I been using Fireworks since 2003 so I'm inclined to think that I'm not.

  Transparency is only available when the file is exported as a PNG 8 or

  PNG 32. The sample you have to downloaded has been optimized for the PNG-24 format. When

  I changed optimization PNG 32, the file exported as planned.

  The shape simple PNG file seems to be a solid image, not a vector

  ellipse. In this case, the layout optimization of PNG 8

  with index transparency has solved the problem.

• How to overcome the lock of security on imported Photoshop files?

  A customer sent us a PSD file with all layers of an image component. We are required to animate these layers, but have problems, their import at first there seems to be a kind of block that prevents us copy the files on the timeline.

  We use the tool to capture Windows as a workaround to copy the original images, but surely there must be a better way than that?

• When you open a Photoshop file with Bridge, how can I control what version of Photoshop, the file wil

  At the opening of a bridge of fthrough Photoshop file, how can I check which version of Photoshop, the file will open in?

  I store my PSD files that is adjacent to the original RAW file which it originates.

  If I open the folder and double-click this PSD file, it opens to the CS6. But, if I use the bridge (CS6) for access to and open the same file, it starts by is Photoshop CS5 and then opens this file PSD in CS5.

  How can I control which Photoshop will open a file then choose to open it through Bridge?

  Interesting, but it does not give any idea what I'm supposed to do. No Photoshop ducuments listed.

  Look at the PSD file on the location of Curt and Photoshop Document research. Beside him ideally should show Adobe Photoshop CS6 if you have Bridge open CS6. Click to provide the fly on the menu and choose the correct Photoshop from the list.

  But probably something went wrong with your installation. By default, Bridge chooses the latest version of PS to open its plug in.

  Maybe reset preferences may also help you. Can you provide more details about the version of the OS etc.

  And you have a good reason to keep your Raw and finalized in the same place files. Personally I put them aside and use a convention of appropriate filename (YYYYMMDD and details) so I can easily search the DNG files in my archives if I needed, but I don't make mistake by opening a bad

• Import Photoshop files (PSD) for Animate (Flash) via JSFL scripts

  Hello

  I want to automate the workflow we have including import psd files in Animate (Flash)-> make a few changes on the content > export swf.  The last part (-> to make some changes on the content > export swf) is already automated, the only thing left is to import psd files. The problem is that every time you import a psd file, you are invited to a window where you must enter the preferences how you want to import a psd. Exactly, this window is the problem, we must always change preferences and confirm the changes by hand. Is it somehow possible to set preferences for psd import by jsfl script and avoid the window preferably?

  Thank you.

  Yes, assign the boolean false dialogue show in the importFile method.

• Error when importing complete file with many newspapers

  Hello

  I came across an error when you try to import an entire folder containing 118 newspapers (total size 63 MB), created by and imported to Signal Express 2012 (version 6.0.0).

  After about 80 of them have been imported without any problem, error, indicated in the attached file, see.

  The journal other files can be opened one by one after will have been delivered to market there is apparently no problem with files.

  My path to the folder that contains the log files are 81 characters long. I also tried a shortest path with only 9 characters, but it did not help.

  Looks like it's a bug in SE. Is there a solution?

  Concerning

  Jocke

  It turned out to be a bug in SigX2012. SigX opened the TDMS file handle but could not close during the import. So when a loading 118 connects at some point, SigX reached the memory limit.

  As for SigX2012, we have a solution for you. Newspapers, by half and each folder contains 59 newspapers. Launch SigX and import logs folder, and then save the recording project and exit SigX. SigX to restart and load the project you just save and import the other journal folder. Let me know if it works on your side.

  Once again, thank you for reporting the bug to us.

  How can I get around the commas in the text?
  
  Published by: cinnamon on April 4, 2011 08:07

  There is a way to do it, but it depends on a few assumptions, and (b) you have to jump through hoops to do it.

  First of all, this only works if there is no comma request_id, user_id or facility_id. (if there is, then you're stuck, because there is no way to determine which commas are part of data and those that are separators.)

  Second, he must know if there are any particular character - say | -who never appears in the detail.

  If you can do both of these assumptions, then what you have to do is:
  (1) create an array that consists of a single VARCHAR2 column large enough to hold longer line of your input data.
  (2) to import your data into this table.
  (3) replace the first five commas in each row of the table with. (or whatever your "unused" character).
  For example:

  UPDATE temp_data_table
  SET row_text = REPLACE(SUBSTR(row_text, 1, INSTR(row_text, ',', 1, 5)), ',', '|') || SUBSTR(row_text,  INSTR(row_text, ',', 1, 5) + 1);
  COMMIT;
  

  (4) write a SQL INSERT command to build your target table according to the values separated by the | characters.
