• Center of a sentence within the text layer

  Hi all

  I would like to focus a sentence within a text layer for example I have two phrases within a text layer and one of them, I want to be centered in the layer itself

  Is it possible to do?

  I don't know that I follow. If you want two centered sentences then create a text box by clicking and dragging in the pane of the model with the text tool, start to type, define the Center paragraph style and then make sure that the point anchor and position of the text layer are centred.

  Another way is to use the shortcut Alt/Option + Ctrl / Cmnd + shift + T to add a new text layer or just use the menu layer and add a new layer of text and the cursor will be centered in the Panel of the model which have not messed you with the base line. With the "centered" applied paragraph style you will be have a centered text.

  With the latest version of AE, you can add an expression to the position that calculates the area of a text field and then aligns the text field in the Panel of the model. If you really fancy, you can watch the size of a text field and offset as well vertically. I don't have the time to write this expression for you, but it is possible.

• I use an iMac with El Capitan and Photoshop CS6. I'm trying to add a shadow to a text on a picture. I followed the instructions to double the text layer but not dropshadow dialog box appears and I can't. Where would it be?

  Double click on the text on the right side of the display panel does not cause a dialog box open. I just need to know where the dialog box is so I can add the drop shadow

  Please make sure that you double-click on the text layer in the layer panel not the name of the layer. With the text, it can be difficult if the name is too long. You can also right-click on the text layer in the Panel and bring up the contextual menu and select 'blending Options '.

  

• Make the text layer transparent logo

  Hello

  I want to create a logo with the text layer and the background transparent (so that both are found with the gray and white square)

  I have it done before, but when I now create the circle logo, create the text, then use magic want to select the text you want to delete and make them transparent, he said: I can't edit without pixelation of the image.

  Once I did I use the magic wand to try to make it transparent, it removes the text and watch only the circle.

  Can someone give me a step by step guide?

  The attached picture is the effect I want to create with transparent lettering.

  Thank you in advance!

  You get the error because you are trying to remove pixels from your text layer.

  When you have the choice of characters, activate the layer with the circle, then click on remove. (Hide your text layer when finished)

  BTW better (than the magic wand) to select the text is in control, click on the thumbnail for the text layer.

• You cannot change the text layer

  I am trying to change a word in a layer, but whenever I click on this word a new layer comes and I can't access the text in the layer I want.  What I am doing wrong?

  According to the guidelines of the screenshot you provided, it seems the text layer was rasterized or flattened, you can't get back to edit mode.

• Start the text layer (using the text tool) of the current-time indicator - Adobe after effects CC

  It's something that would drastically improve the speed of my workflow. When I click inside a composition using the text tool, the text layer is always positioned at the beginning of the composition.

  Is it possible to make the text layer from the current-time indicator, so don't constantly do defiler to the beginning of the composition and drag the text layer forward in the desired position?

  Thank you very much.

  There is a preference: create layers at Composition Start Time.

• Text glow effect disappears when the layers are placed in the text layer. Need help!

  Whenever I have add a layer of white or a white shape under my text layer, the glow on the text layer will show is no longer.  I can't get the glow on the text appears on a transparent background. I use Photoshop in CS3.

  Glow in the first photo, no glow in the second when white layer under the text layer.

  

  

  Hello

  Default Outter Glow has the screen as it has blend mode. on a white background, you need to change to a different mix (normal color, more dark, multiply, or whatever you prefer, experience with some doubt)

  I suggest leaving the white background on all tweaking and if you need output, turn off the white layer before saving transparent

  Please post if this does not resolve the problem for you

  

• How to get the color of the text information in the text layer?

  How to get the color of the text information in the text layer?  I mean using scripts Photoshop, Version of Photoshop CS 8.0

  The color textItem is readable for me in VBS Note expects the activeLayer be a textLayer and displays the HexValue of the color of the text.

  Option Explicit
  
  Dim appRef
  Dim docRef
  Dim textItemRef
  Dim artLayerRef
  Dim textColor
  
  Set appRef = CreateObject( "Photoshop.Application" )
  
  appRef.BringToFront
  
  Set docRef = appRef.ActiveDocument
  Set artLayerRef = docRef.ActiveLayer
  Set textItemRef = artLayerRef.TextItem
  Set textColor = textItemRef.Color
  
  MsgBox textColor.RGB.HexValue
  

  And returns the color of the text if the text is the same color. But if the text is more than a color textItem.color returns only the color of the first text range.

• Question of FACT while hiding the text field

  Hello

  Code written in the way: trying to hide the text field by ticking a box (box is to have fire action)... when the user activates the box to check, capturing fire action and hide the text field...

  Question: but when the action of fire box is drawn, no code executes methods processformdata and processformrequest of my custom controllers but throwing error saying forces de FACTO fields are required and my box is checked, but field text is not hidden.

  If required: here, if DFF fields mandatory error throws then box must be unchecked.
  

  
  

  Note: required fields in FACT have not yet entered. If entered and then clicking on the check box text box will be hidden. the problem is only when de FACTO mandatory fields are not entered and trying to hide the text on the checkbox fields.

  
  

  Required resolution: have to skip the mandatory FDF check GOLD fields when a FDF survey error then the box should not be checked (automatically unchecked)
  

  
  

  Thanks in advance...
  

  
  

  Kind regards

  RAM

  Fact FDF mandatory configuration option and run the mandatory audit of de FACTO on the presentation page.

  now it's completely works well...

  Thanks AJ.

• Apply a gradient within the text?

  in CS5, how can I ask a gradient within the text?

  Thank you.

  Many things come to mind: using filters. warping selections, getting a different gradient for each letter, without creating separately, masking, etc..

  Of course, most of this does not apply if you create your gradient as a layer of setting (the black and white circle in the layers palette)

  The best suggestion: play with all the options, you will get their benefits!

• How can I apply a shadow to the text of paragraph & there not as a system?

  Is there a way to text style, typekit, webfonts not system fonts?

  I wish I could have the styles, like the strokes, bevel etc on my text.

  Also, is the shadows to the text of the paragraph, not only title text, a widget for it?

  Thanks in advance.

  These features are not available for text in web browsers. They must be converted into images.

• CSS - is there a selection button to apply RGBA degraded to the text?

  Degraded much info on RGBA backgrounds, but I found nothing for the color of the text.

  I try to avoid more images as

  

  but get the same look.

  I appreciate your time

  Not directly, no.

  There is a trick that works well in webkit browsers: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/gradient-text/

• Noob question: how to prevent splitting when text overflows with phrases?

  Here is the script I am trying to avoid: I have text flowing on the next column or page, but it only overflows with one word, leaving a single word before a new article.

  Is there anyway to change the settings of text flow so that the sentences are not cut, when the text overflows? Maybe the whole sentence goes on the page instead, as in my case, the last word?

  If the problem is you want to avoid having a word on the left at the top of a column before a new paragraph starts and not you must keep the whole sentence together, use keep Options from the paragraph palette to tell you want to bundle a number of lines of a paragraph. In the design of books, I always put it so that each paragraph has the first two lines and the last two lines together on the same page.

• AppleScript cannot change the font of the text layer

  I used Applescript to create a text layer and specify its properties, but when I specify the font I get a compilation error:

  Impossible to define 'class NTR' to 'TradeGothic-Bold ". Unauthorized access.

  That sounds like a kind of permission error.

  Here is a little simplified script:

  Tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"

  say current document

  do new layer of art Properties {name: "File name", type:text layer}

  say the text object layer of art 1

  the value {content, size, stroke color, position, type} {"thefilename", 12, {class:RGB hexadecimal color, hexadecimal value: 'CC0000'}, {2, 12}, text of paragraph}

  set the font to "TradeGothic-"BOLD""

  tell the end

  tell the end

  tell the end

  If I put the police manually and use 'get properties of the text object in layer art 1', the Script Editor returns (with a long list of other properties):

  "" police: 'TradeGothic-"BOLD".

  so I think that I've specified the name of the font correctly at least. In the list of properties returned by the Script Editor, the font is blue like above, but all other property names are purple. It's I have to say something.

  Well, after some trial and error, I answered my own question. Here's what worked:

  Tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"

  tell the active document

  new layer art with properties {name: "File Name", layer type: text}

  the text of the layer 1 of the art of storytelling

  the value {content, size, stroke color, position, type} {"thefilename", 12, {class hex color: RGB, hex value: 'CC0000'}, {2, 12}, paragraph text}

  tell the end

  set the font for the text of art layer 1 to "TradeGothic-"Bold"object

  tell the end

  tell the end

  Maybe someone who understands OOP and/or better than I do, may explain why it worked and my first try didn't.

• Set different font sizes for certain parts of the text layer?

  I am a novice as AE is going, but I'm working on a script to dynamically change a project.

  The project in question has a text layer has a single string, but with variable font size (the text is a price, where the hundred part is a smaller font to the different initial values).   I want to use a script to change this text, but it is enough to assign a new text document does not retain the variable formatting - all figures are found with the same font size.

  Since the guide of the script, I see that the size of the font of a text document object is available, but only in a very limited form - definition of value he sets for the entire document, without options to set for a range of characters.  I would be fair to assume that programmatically create/update a document with several sizes of fonts is not possible?

  If this is the case, what would be my best options to achieve the same effect?  If the project is modified to have several layers/documents, is there a way to adjust the positioning to maintain good spacing/kerning between independent channels?  (I'm also a dollar with yet another sign size of police prior to the price, so I would have actually three pieces of text to position in my script and just to the right/left cannot justify two strings).

  Thanks for the tips!

  AFAIK, there isn't a convenient way for a script to maintain several font sizes once it changes a text document.

  You can however, use sourceRectAtTime() to get the actual span of text in a text layer, positioning and three text layers to get the desired spacing is not difficult.
