Late layer CS3 question

Hello

I apologize for asking a question about CS3, but that's what I tend to use at the moment. How to unlock the original background layer or create new layers when editing, say, a .png? In previous versions, only the layer could be unlocked just by double clicking and the layer Layer 1 and create new layers would automatically change to a .psd image while it was being developed.

I can't believe that I actually have a new image and copy and paste all to it; I must be just missing the way to unlock the layer or my settings were set wrong.

Thank you for your time

If you open a gif or a png 8-bit, then it will be in indexed color mode and the background layer is called Index. Indexed color mode does not support the layers among many other things, so you will need to first go to Image-> Mode-> RGB

  • After effects layer mask Question.

    Hello


    I am a novice and will try to explain this clearly

    I used this tutorial as a guide for Lightsaber effects. http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=gQ7dC0gWzG0 07:44 video, he explains how to make the effect of going behind the video using a mask... but not using his video, im using an another clip... anways...

    "Layer 3" has my video. I the effect of sword "layer 2", at a point in the timeline, I made a new solid layer with the pen tool master on "layer 1" for the effect of sabre on "layer 2" can get behind the main video image, I cut the points of entry and this (works but). "" "

    My question is, can I add another solid to the mask 'layer 1' later in the chronology for sabre effect on "layer 2" can get behind the next point, where it should get behind? ".

    The problem I had is that for this mask work "layer 1" would seem to be directly on top of the "layer 2". I tried to make a new mask solid, but as it was not directly above "layer 2", it would not work. So, I wonder how do another mask on the layer 1?

    Thank you

    Rather than add a new solid, add a second mask to your first solid.

  • Mac mini (late 2012) flashing - question mark folder recovery does not work

    Hi all

    earlier today, I upgraded my Mac mini (end 2012) to the latest version of macOS Sierra.

    After 1 hour of use, I realized that many of my plugins FCPX were not working.

    I contacted the developers, and they said does not update the plugins and they told me to go back to El Capitan.

    I decided to listen to them and try to downgrade my OS.

    I restarted the Mac and held down Cmd - R or something like that that took me to the disk utility screen.

    Then I went down to dinner, and when I returned 30 minutes later my Mac had entered the sleep mode for some reason any.

    I woke up the Mac and 40 seconds later the power went out for 5-10 minutes.

    After the blackout, I restarted my Mac that took me to a black screen with a flashing question mark folder.

    I followed some tutorials online (including how to enter get - and the recovery of internet mode), but after a while even restoration of the internet shows me the flashing question mark folder.

    I don't know what to do.

    And no - unfortunately I don't have a Time Machine backup.

    But I have a backup with all my most important files.

    Is it possible to force the Mac to reset itself or something like that?

    Help, please.

    Best regards

  • "How to make a picture without people": standard CS5 vs long feature (vs CS3) question?

    This article "How to do a people-Free Photo in crowded Place" (http://submit.shutterstock.com/newsletter/217/article2.html) suggests CS3 extended is necessary. I was about to buy CS5 standard, but this seemed to be a useful feature to have (I was a bit larger 50-50, he had a few features that I would find useful, but not essential).

    Where my questions are:

    (1) it will work CS5 yet?

    (2) is there a better way to do this in CS5?

    (3) is expanded need, or has the functionality down to the standard?

    Thank you for any help or advice.

    Yes, it works very well, but requires CS5 extended to use batteries of the Image.

  • Flash CS3 Question. Help, please! Thank you!!!

    I posted my question once again, since it is in (.zip) file.

    http://S687.Photobucket.com/albums/vv231/Suchana6/?action=view & Current = website.jpg

    There is a link to the problem with my button, that I created using Flash CS3, Action Script 2.0. The first button is inside a big white box. Anyone know why this problem and how can I solve this problem? Thank you very much. It will be greatly appreciated.

    Here's what I think, what your problem is.  Your internship must be resized to the size of the image.  I'm just guessing that you publish the SWF in this file and the code that places it in an html page is saying that it is very small to fit in this small space, but the swf file includes all of the white background that see you... then all you see is a specification due to having shrunk so small in the web page swf file.

    If you change your Document settings to the dimensions that you see for the width and height of the Flash file in the html code.  Then move the content in the scenic space and publish this file.

  • MacBook Pro Late 2011 startup questions - SMC reset necessary after each shut down.

    I was asked to look at a friends end 2011 Macbook Pro.

    Initially, it seemed dead. No power, no response. I did the Shift + Command + control + Power to try to reset the SMC nothing helps.

    I opened the back and disconnected the battery and the magsafe. I help the power button down for 5 seconds. reconnected the dough tried power on and it didn't work until I plugged the magsafe. Ah ha I thought it, BUT. Once started it works very well, some check everything looks good and battery shows healthy with 70% of load.

    I restart the machine and it starts fine. HOWEVER. I stop the machine and I'm back to square one. Power supply photo and battery connected.

    So I rinse and repeat. battery disconnect power hold button wait 5 plug in back and then turn it on. As before it works only after the power supply was ALSO connected. to test this situation I tried again without connecting the battery and just the power supply. Since then only the battery was in, nothing until that I plugged the battery ALSO.

    So the Macbook will start only after a stop if the battery and power are both removed, button / help for 5 then BOTH the power and battery are reconnected.

    I've seen people with similar questions but no one seems the specific symptoms that it requires this reset each STOP but restarts not on the list.

    Clues, help, correct?

    See you soon

  • Picture moves when you preview in a browser (was: DW CS3 question)

    When you attempt to place an image in a page in DW CS3 and try to view the online placement, even if the positioning is correct using firefox, the image moves to the top of the page when you use safari.

    Any comments?

    You do not have a page printed on a typewriter.  It is a web page.  Do not use the key entry as a layout device.  It does not work.  It is same for the space bar and tab keys.   Not good.

    Learn to use CSS margins and padding to align items if you wish.  In very rare situations, you may need to use a little CSS positioning, too.  But it must be done with care.

    Also remember that all browsers add their own default margins and padding to HTML elements.  This results in the change in browser.  You can use a CSS Reset to remove the margins by default & fill if necessary.  But these effects each element on your page.

    * {margin: 0; padding: 0}

  • Base layer update question

    I have updated a base layer that exists to a 'major' version 2.0 and am trying to assign it to my test computer lab. When all computers receive my Base Layer 2.0, I'll be able to remove my Base Layer 1.0? I see they have the same identification number, so it seems that I am not able to. Once I update a base layer, I don't really want to have the old taking up space.

    Also, if I delete the files, for example a shortcut on the desktop or a folder that is not necessary, a layer of base (Base Layer 1.0) and update a layer of base with these gone files (Base Layer 2.0), and then apply this Base Layer 2.0 on a computer that already has the basic 1.0 layer applied am I correct that the files/folders are NOT deleted on this computer, but only the computers being base layer supplied with Base Layer 2.0 would be no deleted files?

    Thank you!

    If the files are there, they remain there after the updated base layer has been assigned. Of course, if the updated base layer is supplied to the computer, then it is completely updated.

  • Layer Mask question, please help.

    Hello

    My layer mask does not work, do not know what is happening. I use 4 CS. I want to use the blend effect so I put the photos on a white background. I click on the layer mask on each photo, select the tool brush on the picture but does not work, is either appear black or white when I use the brush paint on it. So not bad, the foreground color should be gray & white based on layer mask, but it appears black & white instead. Please see the screenshot below. Please help, thanks

    Untitled-2.jpg

    Hi, I'm going to try explain your problem.

    In your posted example we see that you have three layers in the layers panel.

    On each layer, we can see, on the left side, there is the thumbnail of the layer, it is a display of the actual image of your layer, then a thumbnail of the layer mask (the white rectangle on the right side).

    A layer mask works as follows: you tell Photoshop to show or hide the actual parts (pixels) of the layer with the grayscale values. Indicates a white pixel on the layer masks Photoshop to display the area of the image with a (non-transparent) full opacity, while tells a black pixel on the Photoshop layer mask to hide the layer completely (0% opacity.) Gray values will therefore partially show the image data.

    But you paint on the document, and you must specify Photoshop if you want to paint on the image (what you did in your example, and you don't want to) or if you want to paint on the layer mask (what you want to do). This indication is called targeting. It is simply done by clicking on the thumbnail of the layer or the layer of your layer mask thumbnail. (By clicking on different areas of a layer in the palette layers are different orders, you give to the program). For example, if you want to move the layer that you hide to another, in order to paint on his mask, sure to click on the layer of the other layer mask thumbnail in the layers panel.

    In Photoshop CS5.5 and earlier versions, you'll see that a layer or its mask is targeted because there will be three contours around her: a black, a white and a black once again, as the actual layer data in the highlight 0928 your image layer. You should see these three contours around the layer mask to paint over it.

    CS6 the target indicator is different, look in my image, we can see that the layer mask is targeted with white corners: I then have the part of the black layer mask by targeting the layer mask in the layer panel and then paint on the image where I want to hide the layer.

    If you want to change the layer (photos, in your case), just click on the thumbnail, and you're ready to go!

    I hope this helps.

  • Object Layer Options Question

    I just upgraded to CS6 in CS5. (I use Windows 7)

    I put a 2 layer (created Illustrator) PDF in Indesign and do only the layer 1 visible in the object layer Options (display the layers). I'm doing this in CS5 and pdf exactly stays where I put it.

    In CS6, the image moves. I need to stay put because I use 2 layer for placement.

    How can I make the pdf stay exactly where I put it after that I do a non-visible layer?

    Looks like you have picked a crop option, such as bounding box or art, which may vary with what is visible.

  • CS3 question

    Hi all

    I'm new to this forum.  I use CS3 and I have problems, see files camera raw (CR2) of my Canon 40 d.  I went to the Adobe site and download the Camera Raw 4.6 update and I can now see the CR2 files in Photoshop, but I still don't see the Bridge.  I tried converting them to DNG, but still don't see them in Bridge.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I know that I should upgrade to CS5 but just can't afford it right now.

    Thank you

    Kevin H.

    Everything you need to make the camera is ACR 4.2, so it should work perfectly.

    Most of the problems with camera raw are one of 2 things.

    1. you have several files in the folder

    2. you have it in the wrong folder.  See the download instructions.

    In Photoshop, click on help/about plug / camera raw.  Should see a version listed.

  • Hyperlink InDesign CS3 questions

    I create hyperlinks in InDesign exporting to a pdf file. I ran into 2 questions that I hope someone can help with. I tried this using a Mac (OS X Leopard) and a PC (Windows XP).

    1. I have a link that I try to go to a pdf file that is located on an https site. I created the destination using the full URL. I assigned to it for the words in the document (the "for more information" type words). In InDesign, in the hyperlink Panel, the drop-down menu to go to Destination of works. When I pdf file, however, there is no hyperlink available on the Mac or PC.

    2. "words" in InDesign that are actual URLS, all are typed in parentheses with spaces on each side, IE [www.adobe.com]. On the PC, some of these links work in the pdf, and some do not work as they include the closing parenthesis. I did them all in the same way and do not understand what I could have done wrong. And on the Mac, they all work. If there is no easy answer, I might have to convince the author of the document to exit media. :-)

    I hope that I have included all relevant information. It's my second try because when I tried to post, I got a notice that I was not open session and could nothing when I tried to send, even though I was logged - VERY frustrating.

    I appreciate any help on this.

    Thank you

  • Newbie on the video quality in CS3 question

    I'm new to Premiere CS3. I use iMovie but wanted to move up to an application with more features and grain more fine tuning. However, I have difficulty getting my clips imported to maintain their quality. Don't know if I have PrCS3 configured incorrectly or if I don't know enough about video formats.

    I'm under first v3.2.0 (374) on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB memory, OSX 10.6.6

    Here is my scenario:

    I have a video clip with the following specifications: .mov, 720 x 480, H.264, 30 fps, bitrate 244 (see screen capture below). It was captured from my computer using Snapz Pro X.

    original_mov_file.jpg

    I have imported the clip of PrCS3 and was surprised that the preview of the clip and composite overview posted less quality than the original (even made that quality mode has been set to the 'up'). The video clip was a bit of a hurry and clean edges of my vector art have been shredded. The whole thing seemed blurry.

    PrCS3_clip preview.jpg

    PrCS3_composite_preview.jpg

    I thought that the exported video could be better. I exported the sequence using the following parameters:

    Premiere_export_settings.jpg

    But the results were not better (I actually got the best results using iMovie HD). This is the last sequence exported.

    Any help from the community of PrCS3 would be greatly appreciated.

    I am running CS3 on a Dell XPS M1330 with an Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Ram and Vista OS.  Like everyone else, I can't capture HDV footage - get capture to control the camera, even bring up the ofline screen I'm supposed to see while he cpatures, but in the end, it captures without frames.  However, I have peut capture HDV 1080i (60i) mode camera, but is not a HDV tape.

    Can someone please help?

    1. Unplug the XHa1 firewire cable
    2. The value XHA1 VCR/playback
    3. Press the Menu button
    4. Select "Signal Configuration.
    5. Replace the reading HDV standard.  The default value is automatic and it does not work well.

    Now connect firewire, ensure that the AGENCY is set to HDV mode (mode not DV).

  • More installation of CS3 questions

    HI, I have Win xp and I had downloaded CS3. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times and I've never had this problem before. I had a problem with the CS3 version and thought I have just uninstall and reinstall, but after I uninstalled it using simply add and remove programs, I tried to reinstall and continued to get the message that he was already running and let it complete the installation first of all. I'm crazy and so went uninstalled everything manually. Always the same message and now its projection upward to add and delete and I can't remove it! I have been put into registry and tried to uninstall all cs3 it but then every little thing I uninstalled appeared in Add and remove programs without the possibility to uninstall. Then I put everything in registry and photoshop shows always upward here even if I removed everything. So I downloaded the clean script Wincs3 from Adobe. I followed all the instructions but I can not get this program to run, and now I'm PISSED OFF! I've never had this problem with Adobe before and I don't like. After that, I did all these nonsense I tried to reinstall and get this stupid message. Can someone help me to reinstall photoshop? I don't know what else to do. I should add that when I tried to run the WinCS3 cleaner he says its not installed and when I click on WINCS3 cleanupadditon it just POPs and closes immediately. I turned the popups blocker and firewall and still have the same problem.

    Not sure if this will help, but there is a Windows Installer Cleanup utility, you can remove install entries that you don't want, but it is dangerous to do that in an overzealous manner, so be careful.
