Make specific selections in a Photoshop action

• Scale or make a selection of pixel on Photoshop

  Hello guys,.

  I have Photoshop CS6 and when chipping or make a selection I use a mouse, which, of course, is not entirely accurate (it ignores pixels) when I am forced to choose something of perfectly, scale or move an item.

  Is there a way that I can make a selection, resize or move accurately says, without having to fight with the mouse?

  Thank you in advance,

  Fabry

  Hi Fabry

  You can make very specific changes on the scale using the fields in the Options bar with free transform.

  Selections depend on what you're trying to do, but one thing you can do is add Guides in specific locations using linear or percentage values, if you know exactly where you place the guides.  This will only work with rectangular selections, but the marquee tool will snap to the guides.

  Does this help?  Give us more details if not.

• When I make a selection using the lasso and try to copy the selection, nothing is copied.  Why?

  I have PhotoShop CS6 for Mac, version 13.0.6.  When I make a selection using the lasso (or any other selection tool) and select 'Copy' and try to move the selection copied, nothing is copied.  What is going on?  I can't find an answer in my search for Abobe PS or the Web site, in general.

  If you still use the selection tools when you try to move the contents of a selection, it will simply move the selection. If you want to move the content, use the tool move (but be aware that the default action is to cut; use Opt (Alt on Windows) to copy the selection by dragging).

• Would it not be possible to make a selection based on the percentage instead of pixels? For example: 90% left, 5% of the upper part.

  Im having a little trouble getting a Photoshop Action to work the way I need to.

  Product photos are taken in different batches, and the only thing that is guaranteed, it must be transparent in the upper right. This means I need an action that makes a selection with the 'magic wand' tool and is independent to define an absolute selection through pixels (see images below).

  Anyone know how I can solve this problem without resizing the canvas to an exact size?

• Photoshop actions + Relinking image

  Hi all!

  I'm trying to optimize the way in which my colleagues and I add labels of our bottles. I have created a 3D tag and wrapped around our bottles. My next step in the process was to create actions that once played, all that was left for us to do was select the files that we want to apply our texture and save the files. The only problem I have encountered is that when the script gets to point d - link the smart object, it calls a dialog open as smart object, where we then have the opportunity to harvest to: Crop Bounding Box, media box, etc.

  

  What I would like is for this step to be fully automated, where once we choose the image we want to replace this dialog automatically chooses Crop to: Media Box, close and then fills the rest of the procedure of the action. I currently have this step by using the "Insert Menu Item' > 'Layer' > 'Intelligent objects' >"Recreate a link to the file"I tried setting up using"Action Record"but then he would always choose the same image to replace, I obviously don't want.

  That's what my script looks like if it helps someone.

  

  Thanks in advance!

  What you show, it is an action, but you are referring to it as a script.  Photoshop scripts are different Photoshop actions. Scripts are programs. They are programmed in a scripting language, and unlike actions can use logic.  However, I don't know if what you want to do can be programmed in a Photoshop script.  I have not programmed in this area in lieu of a linked smart object.  Watching your action, it seems that you have inserted the element menu to create a link to the file.  This will be an interactive action step as you wrote.  I'm not familiar with this menu item.   Saving item menu differently when used in an action, then when it is inserted as a menu item.  When used they are not interactive step. Step can be hard coded to a particular file, however.   A script may be able to put in a file selection dialog to allow you to select the file you want to link. Once you select the script file may be able to recreate it a link to the file in a non-interactive manner.    If you change your action and uncheck the menu item from insert reissue so it does not get played and record a step when you using the menu item Insert the item.  When you have completed step if name path file etc settings get saved in step. Probably you can code a Photoshop script that will work the way you want the process works.

• How to change a photoshop action so I can manually enter data in?

  I'm currently editing the Image Processor.jsx and their xml files respective for best results. I would do the same for photoshop actions. Is there a program that would allow to open this type of file so that I can manual type and edit data inside. Hope someone can answer to this...

  [Left the lounge general Forum, troubled for a specific product - Mod support forum]

  You can do a few interactive steps by turning on step dialog boxes. You can therefore use your judgment to adjust the steps as levels, sharpening, curves, transform, change the text etc.  You can improve to buy stocks using some scripts in them.

  Xtools has a few scripts to help you change the Actions and convert shares to scripts.  Search for XTools X writes that he also wrote a plugin Script that is better than the script non-plug-in Processor.jsx Image Image Processor Pro.jsx

• receive ' make order not aviaible when using actions)?

  When using my actions of sky, I receive the order does not make available anyone can help please?

  This type of error occurs when a condition sine qua non of the action about to be executed step is not met. For example, a layer or another object may be selected where this step will be performed. Knowing what stage this error occurs on we will tell more about what should be done. The solution might be to perform an extra step (for example, you need to have created a selection before performing the action). This step may be a prerequisite to the implementation of the action or an additional step that can be added to the action to prove this error to appear.

• Selection tool hangs photoshop, CC2015

  Make a selection with the marquee poster tool, oddly, has a few extra boxes and lines inside the selection. Highlighting a selection many times in a row, basically plant photoshop or at least makes it completely unusable for a few minutes. Even by selecting all and hit copy merged. What is this crap and how to solve? Never had such problems with previous versions.

  Fixed with the patch.

• Problem by combining selection tools in Photoshop CC 2014

  When I make a selection using the Quick Selection tool in Photoshop CC and then switch to the Lasso tool to refine the selection, it added to what I had already selected.  If I do the same thing in 2014 CC, as soon as I click on the picture with the Lasso tool, the original selection disappears.

  Review your selection options in the toolbar options of the lasso tool.

  Looks like cc has the value Add and cc2014 has the value New

  You could keep the option on new and use the SHIFT key to add to the selection.

• change the results of the report with the selection list using dynamic action

  This is one of those situations where if I could understand the appropriate search terms to use, someone else must have asked this question in the past.
  
  I have a report with a SQL query with a condition based on a list of selection on the same page. So I have a list of selection -: P177_FISCAL_YEAR
  
  My request for my report is:
  
  Select md_id, display_name, description
  of media_tbl
  where fiscal_year =: P177_FISCAL_YEAR
  
  When a person makes a selection on the selection list (: P177_FISCAL_YEAR), I would like to report up-to-date without having to submit the page. I was hoping that I could do something like this using a dynamic action but have not found a way to do it.
  
  Thanks in advance!

• Create a photoshop action to save a batch of images as models

  I try to use Photoshop actions to the script on the image of a thousand in PAT files files. I'm running a problem with actions when it comes to defining a model. The program naturally selects the file name as the name of the template, when do it manually, but when I do this while recording a Photoshop action saves the file name used in the creation of the action and then uses this file for all models of sripted name. Is it possible to change this setting to select the name of the current file instead?

  

  That should be all you need...

  createPattern();function createPattern() {    var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();        var ref3 = new ActionReference();        ref3.putClass( charIDToTypeID('Ptrn') );    desc6.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref3 );        var ref4 = new ActionReference();        ref4.putProperty( charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), charIDToTypeID('fsel') );        ref4.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Dcmn'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );    desc6.putReference( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), ref4 );    desc6.putString( charIDToTypeID('Nm  '), app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '') );    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc6, DialogModes.NO );};
