Move the selection form, not the content, to another layer

I understand that after the creation of any selection, CTRL-J copy the selection into a new layer, but this isn't what I want to do.

I want to copy just the selection form (i.e. its contour), not its content, so that I can then apply this form of selection to any other existing layer.

The goal is to take a selected layer A shape, apply the shape in layer B, remove the box around the selection into a layer B, and end up with a form in the B layer that contains the content of layer B pixels, no layer.

I have Photoshop version 9, CS2. I tried to study masks, but were not able to find a basic explanation of beginner of masks

Nice day!

You can store a selection as an Alpha channel and then load it as often as you wish.

Also you can use layer masks, those who can the duplicated on other layers (and if necessary reversed) easily.

I want to copy just the selection form (i.e. its contour), not its content, so that I can then apply this form of selection to any other existing layer.

It doesn't seem wise, an active selection is a property of the file and not a layer.

The goal is to take a selected layer A shape, apply the shape in layer B, remove the box around the selection into a layer B, and end up with a form in the B layer that contains the content of layer B pixels, no layer.

If the selection is anti-aliased or soft that risk unnecessary fringes.

Could you please post a screenshot with the Panel visible layers to clarify your intention?

Kind regards

    As long as you do not position keyframes later in the interpolation, it won't create a new Tween. If you have position keyframes, then you make the selection rectangle on the stage to move the content.

    Once the swf file is loaded in "image1", is there a way I can perfectly move the contents of "image1" movie clip "image2" (on another layer and position on the stage.

    Thank you very much

    You can not re-parents in as2.  You can in as3.

    you might be able to give the illusion that you're new parents, but if your loaded swf file has animation or not static display, even that will be difficult.

  • Is it possible to know if the contents of a layer have been edited?

    HII...

    I wanted to know whether or not the contents of a layer have been edited since its creation... I'm not looking for a solution where the controls are carried out after the last document updated the... Allows to observe a scenario where a document is not saved... So, in this case how do find us that a layer has been changed since it was opened... ?? Please guide me...

    Thank you...

    PS: I need to compare between the two States of a layer. For example, when I start my plugin to create a document, it opens a document from a specified path. It contains a layer with its editability is to be drawn. Now, the scope of my plugin ends... The user is free to make any changes on the document, but it is forbidden to change this specific layer, but no one can stop the user... !!

    Now I raise my plugin once again, and I check if this layer has been published or not... Now, can someone guide me... ?? Since then, the scope of my plugin ends after the creation of documents, so I am not able to keep all the values in post...

    There is no way to tell after the fact if a layer has been changed. Even noticing when a user does it right now that they do is difficult; you will have to rely on something like the kArtPropertiesChangedNotifier, and it's a little risky. You can see when the author of this notification happens to see what art is selected and see if it is on your layer, but there are a few holes in it. Deleted, for example, would likely happen before that declaring then you'd see never the art on your layer is removed (since his is more selected, because his party).

    In general, the changes in art is almost impossible, I'm afraid

  • [AS] Move the contents of Photo Frame

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with moving the content of an image using AppleScript.

    The frame is made in the right position on the document and the image presented with internal coorinates left top of 0,0. Depending on the type of model, it is that this image needs an applied horizontal shift. The script runs generating only the amount compensated for necessary but I simply do not know how to apply, let say,-50 mm horizontal offset to the content of the image.

    I tried using the transformation matrix but get an error. The very simple code for the drawing area and get the image is:

    -Create and place the Code price page 4

    the value mybox. to do Rectangle of page 1 of myDocument with properties {line color: 'None', fill color: 'None'}

    say mybox.

    -The scope of the framework.

    the value geometric limits of mybox. to {docHeight - 27, 32, 0, docHeight}

    place pricecode

    end say

    "pricecode" is the image and path of the file is acquired earlier in the script. This set works very well in my script. If someone could help me with the code to apply an offset of-50 mm for the contents of the box, it would be great. It's in InDesign CS3.

    Thanks for any help in advance

    Hello

    I'm experimenting Photoshop Elements and wanting to use a layer of black and white (gray scale) I did as a mask of a another layer and do not know how to do in elements.  In Photoshop, I could do it (there may be a better way to do it in PS, but I've not yet discovered)...

    Click on the layer, I created that I intend to use as a mask

    Select all

    Copy

    Select the layer that I want the mask to be applied to the

    Click on the button Add a mask layer (bottom layer)

    Click on the mask icon so it is highlighted (and is not the image)

    switch to the channel display

    highlith the layer mask in the R, G, B of the layers and make it visible

    Dough

    invisible again

    Switch to layers.

    This works and retains the full range of transparency for the semi transparent and soft contours of mask etc.

    Otherwise, I can choose a range of colors, but this doesn't seem to be available in PS Elements.

    So, how do I get the same result in PS Elements?
