• By selecting only visible layers

  I'm a novice scripter, trying to find a way to hide all the layers in a document.  The document contains hundreds of layers so by selecting all and then hide everything takes far too long to run.  Is it a way to simlply button hide all or select only the layers which are visible and can hide?

  Here's a way to disable all visibility of layers...

  //select top layer
  activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layers[0];
  
  //toggle all other layers visibility off
  toggleVisability();
  
  //toggle this layers visibility off
  activeDocument.activeLayer.visible=false;
  
  //This function is the same as Alt/Click on a layers eye
  function toggleVisability() {
  var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
  var list1 = new ActionList();
  var ref = new ActionReference();
  ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '),charIDToTypeID('Ordn'),charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
  list1.putReference( ref );
  desc.putList( charIDToTypeID('null'), list1 );
  desc.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('TglO'), true );
  executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Shw '), desc, DialogModes.NO );

• Is it possible to only select the visible layers to copy/paste in place.

  Hello!

  I must be missing something.  In Adobe Illustrator, when you select a layer (or Sub-layer) to copy, is it possible to copy only visible layers and not those hidden?

  When I provide my clients with their final illustrator files, I only want to register the approved artwork.  Currently, I make a copy of the file and go through and delete hidden files, it would be much easier to copy and paste in place visible layers in an Adobe illustrator file.

  Thank you!

  Given that your items are grouped, select objects on the artboard should be as effective as Select layers in the layer panel.

  You will not be able to resolve this layer-selection-irritation. Happened for some versions. You might consider to report it as a bug.

  The link that I used to post on these occasions no longer works. Google sent me this one, I hope it works for you:

• by selecting all the blocks of text on all visible layers

  I want to select all the blocks of text on all visible layers.

  the script below will select all the blocks of text, even in groups, but if the layer with the text is invisible the script error. (target layer cannot be changed)

  If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

  var doc = app.activeDocument;

  var numTextFrames = 0;

  for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

  textArtRange = doc.textFrames [i];

  textArtRange.selected = true;

  }

  }

  So I made this script to select blocks of text on only visible layers, but now missing text belonging to a group.

  var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;

  var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;

  for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++)

  {

  currentLayer = activeDocument.layers [i];

  If (currentLayer.visible == visible)

  {

  for (j = 0; j < currentLayer.textFrames.length; j ++) {}

  textArtRange = currentLayer.textFrames [j];

  textArtRange.selected = true;

  }

  }

  }

  can someone tell me why it is not some frames of text bound in a group when made this way and is it possible to get all managers of related texts selected on all visible layers?

  Thank you

  Duane

  Try this:

  if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
      var numTextFrames = 0;
      for (  i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
          try {
          textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
          textArtRange.selected = true;
          } catch (e) {}
          }

  Hello

  I discovered that my question above is a non issue. A user has triggered by watching the below article on Illustrator 2014 17.0.2 cc

  http://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/release-note/Illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html

  He had recently improved to wht, we know now is 18.0 to 18.1, which is the latest version. He has read the foregoing artic

  the and assumed that it was a version of fixed a bug for its version - as the number of ov18 v17 is not displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.

  I asked him to post a bug report on Adobe Illustrator CC 20141

• AE makes only physical visible layers?

  Hello

  I will try to explain myself as accurate as possible.

  I have 3 layers in a composition. They are stacked on top of each other, and only the background layers is visible at the beginning (the other two layers are edits on by opacity later).

  I have an effect of very demanding ram/processor (camera Lensblur with 50px blur) on the layer below and no demanding effects on the other two.

  My question is now:

  After Effects takes the lower layer counts, even if it has been hidden by not demanding layers on the top, or AE only 'look' visible layers?

  Thanks in advance

  It depends on the EI version you are using. The newer versions do a better job of optimization makes.

  One way to find out how it works is to test it. Back and see if it speeds up considerably once the lower layer is totally obscured.

  I use AE for more than a decade, so I'm used to the layers of cut once they are no longer visible in order to make makes it faster.

• images from the list for a visible layers only

  Hello

  I need images for the visible layers is ' true 'only. "

  i.e. document includes 10 images, but the conditions (layers visible = true) then images of document is 7.

  Trying Code:
  
  var myDoc = app.activeDocument
  
  var myGraphics = app.activeDocument.allGraphics

  Hey beginner, Hey Suresh.

  Each layer has its own ' allGraphics property, for a nicer way to do is to use that:

  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  var myLinks = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++) {
            if (doc.layers[i].visible) {
                      myLinks.push("Layer "+i+"("+doc.layers[i].name+"):")
                      var layerGraph = doc.layers[i].allGraphics;
                      for (var j = 0; j < layerGraph.length; j++) {
                                try {                                        //  not all graphics have a itemLink, for example the embedded ones
                                          myLinks.push(layerGraph[j].itemLink.name);
                                } catch (e) {
                                          myLinks.push("Error: Graphic " + j + " on layer " + i + " might be embedded");
                                }

  This gives a shot.

  It will leave you with a table containing the layers you had selected in the layers panel when the script is run.

  You can see the bottom I loop this table so you can see each name and origin of visibility

• The invisible layers using the text returned on visible layers

  I'm working on a newsletter page 8 for a customer. There are 5 versions of the newsletter of new pages 3-6 are common to all the 5 editions, pages 1-2 and 7-8 is unique to each version. I use an InDesign document with 6 layers, 1 layer of background (#1) pour common/story layouts and a separate layer for each version (#2-#6). When laying on the stories of page 7 (a single page) my invisible layers affect the provision on visible layers. I have a story on layer #2 all plotted, so when I move to the layer #3 I disable #2 and light #3 which should give me a blank page to work with. The page appears empty, but when I add my pictures and text, information on layer #3 is being moved by what looks like a build-up of layer #2. Why is this invisible layer affecting the layout on a visible layer? How do I fix this so I don't have to go back and rebuild individually 5 versions? Thank you!

  It is exactly as expected. If you want to disable, open the properties of the layer of hidden layers, and it can be.

• How to save only VISIBLE objects in artificial intelligence in jpeg or Pdf format.

  I have several layers but do not want to save objects of items currently visible on in PDF or JPEG.

  How can I do this without having to laboriously double-click each layer and choose "do not print' (layer).

  It would be nice to have a preference in prefs 'not print hidden layers'.

  OK, I just realized the problem, each layer of higher level in artificial intelligence has been save to the PDF file (even if hidden or invisible) because I ""create acrobat layers from top-level layers " checked in the PDF file save dialog down." When unchecked visible layers only record.

• Display only certain layers of the master by page

  Hello

  First of all, I'm pretty new to Adobe Indesign.

  I'm doing a kind of operating instructions, where all the pages are divided horizontally in three rows.

  each line can contain a certain part of the manual, it can be:

  • A step that people should perform
  • A warning
  • A graph
  • A table

  So I made a master page, with each of the four option all three rows in separate layers.

  I thought that I would be possible to turn on or turn off the layers individually for each new page, but it's not.

  each page will be the same.

  So is it possible to individually change the visible layers for each new page that I want to do?

  Or what I do with master pages for every layout possibility is it possible?

  See the image below for the layers I've done and two examples for the manual.

• Export the visible layers in photoshop by using the script.

  Hello

  I am new to adobe script, so please forgive me if this has been covered before.

  I have a book script Adobe Scripting of Chandler McWilliam, I want to use. Essentially, it exports all visible layers in a document open in PS. The script works, but I can't seem to export to a folder/directory of my choice. It is default export to the folder that contains the Photoshop application.

  I use a Mac.

  The Script looks like this:

  function exportVisible (doc) {}

  var myJPEG = new JPEGSaveOptions();

  myJPEG.quality = 10;

  myJPEG.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;

  var myPath = ' / users/tr/Desktop/JAVATESTFOLDER ";

  var myFolder = new Folder (myPath);

  myFolder.create ();

  var settings = new Array();

  var current; Reference to the current layer

  for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

  current = doc.layers [i];

  settings [i] = current.visible;

  doc. Layers [i]. Visible = false;

  }

  for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

  current = doc.layers [i];

  If (settings [i]) {}

  Current.Visible = true;

  var myFile = new File ("Img-" + current.name + '.jpg');

  doc.saveAs (myFile, myJPEG, true);

  Current.Visible = false;

  }

  }

  for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

  current = doc.layers [i];

  Current.visible = settings [i];

  }

  }

  exportVisible (activeDocument);

  I tried many variations, but in vain. I would be very grateful for any advice.

  I've not heard JJ found, but you need to add the path of access, but with my corrections.

  var myFile = new file (myPath + "/ Img-" + current.name + '.jpg');

• ACR adjustments after merge visible layers

  After I work on photo in LR, I want to open it as a smart object in PS. I'm doing this so that I can continue to make adjustments in ACR. Once in PS, I do typical changes with adjustment layers, still try to work non-destructively. However, at some point I will use merge visible layers (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-E) to do some cleaning pixel-based. Once I do that, it seems that going back to ACR in the object dynamic is no longer an option. Do you know why this is the case?

  If the smart object layer was visible when you did the Merge visible layer. There is no longer the smart object layer all layers that were visible have been merged into a single layer of Pixels a raster layer.    All RAW data and ACR settings were lost during her Merge visible layers.   You can convert this layer fused to a smart object layer and use ACR as a dynamic filter on this layer to smart object. If you use ACR as a filter on the layer without converting previously to a layer to smart object ACR will be like any other destructive filter.
