• Select layer by name.

  I need to be able to select a specific layer by name to make it active. I can't find any documentation.

  The layer name is always "PDF (replace content...)" - then I will replace the content with a specified PDF (constant - also naming convention).

  Here are some examples...

  activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.artLayers.getByName('LayerName');
  activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layerSets["LayerSetName"].artLayers.getByName ("LayerName");
  

• How to select a layer by name using Javascript?

  How to select a layer by name using Javascript?

  You can do this in Applescript by using this code:

  set active layer of the window active to layer "Layout" of myDocument

  I can't understand the correct syntax in Javascript.

  Someone knows how to do this?

  Any information would be greatly appreciated,

  adobeJavaScripter

  In JavaScript, you can use the following code:

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer=app.activeDocument.layers.itemByName("Layout");
  

  For "app.activeDocument", use "myDocument", if you prefer.

• A script to add several layer text names

  Hello world

  I am quite new to this, so I hope you don't mind if my question is maybe a bit simple for the pros...

  Basically, I'm looking for a way to add multiple names of layers in the form of text boxes. I found this script below pixxxelschubser, which already ensures the task.

  Re: Script to add the name of the layer to the artboard in text form

  However, this script updates all the text boxes in a position to (0,0). I'm looking for a way to change this, until the first box (0,0), the second area is (0.10), third (0.20) and so on.

  I guess it's sort of a loop thing, but I'm really not familiar with this, so just a little hint would be great

  Thanks in advance!

• Activate the layer by name from the Clipboard

  It's just a quick follow-up to "move the layer to cursor" - I try to activate a particular layer, and the name of the particular layer will be on the Clipboard.

  So, for example, say that the active layer is "Layer 1"

  and 'Layer 5' on the Clipboard

  So, I want to be able to switch to the tier 5. The reason is that the Clipboard can contain names of different layers at one time. Is it not as easy as simply to write a script to switch to 5 layers. I need to move to some layer is in the Clipboard at any given time. The reason for this is a bit tedious so I'll leave that part for now

  Here's a script that I was hoping to change and make it work:

  #target photoshop
  
  var layerRef = app.activeDocument.layers.getByName( 'Layer1' );
  
  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = layerRef;
  
  
  

  but I was hoping to change it to something in this direction:

  #target photoshop
  
  var layerRef = app.activeDocument.layers.getByName( 'WHATEVER IS IN THE CLIPBOARD' );
  
  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = layerRef;
  
  
  

  #target Photoshop
  var SCRIPTS_FOLDER =  decodeURI(app.path + '/' + localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts"));
  var libPath = decodeURI(SCRIPTS_FOLDER) + "/psClipboard64.dll";
  var  psClip = new ExternalObject("lib:" + libPath);
  var clipData = psClip.getClipboard();
  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layers.getByName (clipData); 
  

  You must use activeDocument.layers.getByName ();

• Can't see anything in dialog boxes and layer/tool names are missing. Help!

  

  
  

  I noticed that after updating to Photoshop 2015. Since then, I have uninstalled re-installed via creative cloud, 2014 and 2015 but still having the same issue.

  
  

  I don't see any options in the pop up dialog boxes (new image, the image size, curves, layer options etc...). I also can't name/Rename layers and can not see the tool names. Before the update of 2015, I've been on Photoshop 2014 for a good half a year with no problems so I don't think it's a problem with my operating system or laptop. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
  

  This could be. They have revamped the user interface in 2015, so if you receive just with him, I guess, but since you get it with 2014 also, it could be something the OS.

• Detection of a layer by name

  The following code is part of a larger script. I'm trying to detect if the layer 'Guns grid' exist. If it don't then create a new layer with the same name. This code fails each time, even if the layer does not exist. What I am doing wrong?

  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  var canonLayer;      
        try {
                    canonLayer = doc.layers.itemByName("Canons Grid");
              }
              catch(e)
              {
                    canonLayer = doc.layers.add({name: "Canons Grid"});
              }
  
  
  

  It works for me:

  var canonLayer = doc.layers.item ("Canons");

  If (canonLayer.isValid == false) {}

  canonLayer = canonLayer.layers.add({name:"Canons"});)

  }

  Don't know what the difference is, but I bet someone here will know.

• How to remove the layer by name?

  Hello

  I currently have a script that removes the unused/white/empty layers:

  var layers = app.activeDocument.layers.everyItem () .getElements ();

  for (var i = layers.length - 1; i > = 0; i--) {}

  {if(Layers[i].pageItems.Length==0)}

  layers [i]. Remove();

  }

  }

  but in addition to the unused layers, I need to remove layers which have a layer name that begins with a support "[]". Often, there are layers of model in our workflow which are not necessary - they are named differently but always begin with a hook. Example: [page 2] xxx - xxx-#.

  I tried frankensteining in a piece of code that Jarek provided for another script that processes the names of swatch, but I'm afraid, I'm rather desperate (I intend to become less desperate... then maybe you will not always be overcome with dread seeing my messages... but it does not solve my (or your) problem now).

  As always, I appreciate your consideration and help.

  After the first appearance of the line

  layers [i]. Remove();

  try adding the line

  continue;

  Here, the reason may be that if a layer is empty, then it is removed, and

  so it's no good trying to access his name since there is no

  more. A command continue will force the loop to move on to the next

  iteration instead of a wrong to move on to the next if statement.

• Losing layer and names during the copy and pasting information

  I have an illustrator CS4 file which is a character created in a single layer.  Within this layer are many sublayers, with specific naming conventions.  For example, there is a head entitled layer, and within the head's eyes nose mouth etc. When I copy and paste into another document all my layer information is destroyed. Any ideas?

  In the target document, select "Paste remembers layers" in the layers panel.

• prompt you for the name of the layer

  var lyrname = prompt("Please Give the Layer a Name");
  lyrname.name = newName;
  

  I'm asking a layer name then I want to write this name of layer, but the code above does not work.  I tried adding a lyrname.name to the command prompt argument, but no progress?

  I solve it, I would have called the name of artlayer.

• Search layer by a part of its name

  Hello community!

  I'm working on a script and at one point to get a layer according to certain parts of the layer name.

  I know the way to find the exact name with the line:

  
  

  layers.byName ("name")

  But in the cases where I have a layer with a name like "target 1 - control", how can I find the assunimg the name layer has the words 'target' and 'control '?

  TIA

  You will need to loop through all the layers of the model:

  var app.project.item = comp (1); your comp

  var layer;

  for (var i = 1; i)<= comp.numlayers;="" i="" ++)="">

  If (comp.layer (i).name.indexOf (searchString)! ==-1) {}

  layer = comp.layer (i);

  break;

  }

  }

• How to get the ID of the layer name layer?

  Hello everyone.

  Trouble with the implementation of a small script.

  I want to add to each of the selected layers in the Document a new layer with the image, make sure that the top of each layer.

  I think what I need:

  1. create a table of the layers selected by the user (necessarily by name)

  2. Select the image;

  3. pass by the table to create a layer, put in new picture selected layer and move the table above this layer.

  Found an example where the table is created on the index, but in my case it's not that - after that each addition of a new layer index is changes. How can I get the index of the layer by name?

  Andy_Bat1 wrote:

  But if I understand correctly, I need to know the ID or Index of the layer?

  No, you need a layer object (or layerSet). You can make reference to an object layer in several ways. The excerpt you posted has two, one is owned by activeLayer and the second is by index. You can also make a reference using the name of the layer and some methods like ArtLayers.add () return an object layer. The DOM is not an ID of the layer property.

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer.move (activeDocument.artLayers.getByName ('top'), ElementPlace ment. PLACEBEFORE);

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = 'new top ";

• Get the name of the layer

  Starting full here!

  I am writing an extension for Photoshop using Flash Builder and Extension builder 2.  I would like to ask what layer, by name, is currently selected.  Is this possible?  Also, I would like to know what the opacity is currently set on the same layer.  I guess this would be a similar query.

  
  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thanks Joe, that is almost not right... no need for media:

  var name: String = docRef. activeLayer.name;

  opacity: number var = docRef. activeLayer.opacity;

  Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

• Option of opacity not appearing is not in a layer

  Hey guys, as shown in the image, some of my layers below does opacity to all option, I'm really confused about what happened.

  Even two same images have opacity, while the other is not. What will happen? All images are in png and of course to have transparency

  I use AE cs6 v.11

  

  Select all the layers in the timeline panel and press the letter "T" on the keyboard,

  This will show only the opacity for layers

  You can also show/hide all the properties of a layer in the timeline panel by clicking the small triangle of little next to the layer's name
