• Problem with layer fixed opening

  Hello

  I have a problem open layer sets. In my script, I get index of layers and then iterate through the layers.

  Here's the script:

  function getAllLayersByIndex(){
         function getNumberLayers(){
         var ref = new ActionReference();
         ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr") , charIDToTypeID("NmbL") )
         ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
         return executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(charIDToTypeID("NmbL"));
         };
         function hasBackground() {
             var ref = new ActionReference();
             ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr"), charIDToTypeID( "Bckg" ));
             ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ),charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ),charIDToTypeID( "Back" ))//bottom Layer/background
             var desc =  executeActionGet(ref);
             var res = desc.getBoolean(charIDToTypeID( "Bckg" ));
             return res   
          };
         function getLayerType(idx,prop) {

             ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), idx);
             var desc =  executeActionGet(ref);
             var type = desc.getEnumerationValue(prop);
             var res = typeIDToStringID(type);
             return res   
          };
         function getLayerVisibilityByIndex( idx ) {
             var ref = new ActionReference();
             ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr") , charIDToTypeID( "Vsbl" ));
             ref.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), idx );
             return executeActionGet(ref).getBoolean(charIDToTypeID( "Vsbl" ));;
         };
         var cnt = getNumberLayers()+1;
         var res = new Array();
         if(hasBackground()){
      var i = 0;
            }else{
      var i = 1;

        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), idx)
        desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref );      
        desc.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID( "MkVs" ), visible );
     executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "slct" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
  };
  
  var groups = getAllLayersByIndex();
  
      for(var i = groups.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
        makeActiveByIndex( groups[i], true );
        ....working with layers....
  

  Me, my problem is in the makeActiveByIndex function, because it is not activate a file and does not open it.

  

  You can see on this picture. All of the active layer is 'Skupina 1' and she is defined layer "hlavicka". But "hlavicka" is not open. WHY?

  Can you help me solve this problem?

  Thanks Domaneni

  Make an active layerSet located in a closed layerSet will not open the parent layerSet. It's true wheither you use the project manager or the object model of Photoshop. To open a narrow layerSet in a script, you must make one of the artLayers in the value active.

• Problem with the scale/resize the masks

  Win 7 64 bit, CS5.1

  This question relates to the updated scale/resize the layers with masks. I have a layer with a mask that only shows part of the image, so the majority of the mask is black. However, when I resize the layer (with linked mask), Photoshop changes the mask so that areas once black become white, except for the area around the part that has been hidden behind.

  Below are screenshots of the before - after a sample mask.

  Before:

  

  After:

  

  This example shows what happens to the mask using the Image > Image size of dialogue, which I would have assumed would fully respect the layout of the mask, but does not work. I also have the same problem when you use the transform tools. I also tried to change the permission of foreground/background colors to resize, just to see if it has auto-fill of the mask with white, but I saw no effect by changing or reversing the values.

  I am hoping there is a single place or a preference to prevent this behavior and respect for implementing page-fill masks when resizing. I appreciate any assistance.

  This is probably the reason why your seeing this behavior.

  If you add a layer mask > hide all, or invert the layer mask if you are using a layer mask > show all (even just by clicking on the button layer mask), just use Ctrl > I (Image > adjustments > invert) to reverse the layer mask.

  So you probably won't see this issue.

• Problems with the creation of a mask in AE 4.1

  Hi all

  Yes, I use after effects 4.1... not CS4... This is the version 4.1 13 years ago.

  I'm having a problem creating a simple mask and I see a more current AECS5 tutorial create a mask on a layer like to create one in AE4 based on a comparison with an old AE4 tutorial.  I have read the material and it seems pretty simple, but for some reason that its does not work for me... I know I'm doing something wrong.  I am an advanced user of Photoshop and I know that the concept of layer masks and how to create them.

  I create the mask on a layer, and I can see and adjust the points of Bézier to adjust the shape of the mask... to adjust the shape of the mask by Bézier points is a little tricky because it extends in both directions when you take one point, but it is correct,

  But any mask mode I try, Add, Subtract, Intersect, lighten, darken or difference, it does not hide the layer to which it is attached to the same when I preview the timeline.

  I don't want to just create a new layer on top of the layer color I want hidden to simulate a mask (which I can do otherwise) because I want the stack of layers with masks and have the parts exposed showing through (as in Photoshop), without rendering different layers and re-import them with blue or black projection projection... I should just be able to hide parts that I don't want to appear on each layer and only have parts unmasked each layer show by the other for my final rendering.

  Thank you for any input,

  Digi

  Oh, now I get it!  Because of the effect that you are using, the mask is ineffective.  You know about the caches?  Use a solid as a track matte for the layer of the digital clock to hide unwanted numbers.

• Problems with layer visibility/PS CS6 Timeline

  Hello

  I've been animating with Photoshop CS6 for some time, but a new problem today and I don't know how to fix it. My current project has 112 executives and about 3 times as many layers. Everything was going well until I exported a GIF to work under test. After the fact, each image has been shortened by 0.01 seconds, and all the layers were "visible" in each image. Toggling the visibility of each layer does not allow me to see an individual layer but, and layers on that I need to remain invisible when the toggling the visibility of each layer button.

  I am able to get a new layer over an existing layer and those normally. I really have trouble understanding what is happening here. Help, please!

  Record Photoshop which layers are visible for each image.  When you change the visibility in the palette layers only change you its visibility in the frame (s) that is targeted in the frame animation palette. You must either select the image that you want to change the visibility of the layer in. Here is an animation that I have all the layer show in all frames.  I target all odd frames and turned it off of the top layer. Siena is the screenshot just before I turned off the visibility of the top layer. After that I turned off the visibility of the layer. I saved on a GIF.

  You can also make a picture at the same time.

  

  

  When the top layer is visivle in all frames it look like this

  

• problem with layer background

  This happened about 3 weeks ago.  I have scanned the internet and have not found any problem like this.  It may be something simple that I'm just missing.  The problem is when I open a pix or anything and click to crop or resize, I lose my background layer that has the lock on it.  For some reason any as soon as I get anything, it immediately becomes the first layer and my background layer has disappeared.  Yes, every time when I go to save something (unless, of course, I didn't have to crop or resize), I always flatten image first to get it as a jpg.  I need my coat because I work with layers a lot and it will become more difficult now.  Anyone know why this could happen or what do I do next?  Thanks in advance!

  PS... someone please answer because I posted this on other places and I have never answers.  I don't have an issue with redownloading photoshop, but I am only the monthly fee of photographer and cannot find where to download it again since I did that once already.

  I think that your problem is related to not have Delete the cropped Pixels checked in the toolbar options for the crop tool.

  Delete with cropped uncontrolled Pixels, photoshop will unlock the background layer, if it is the only layer in your document.

  (turn the background layer to a regular layer Layer)

• Problems with adjustment layer masks

  I have serious problems with adjustment layer masks. I have converted a photo black and white usiing one adjustment layer and trying to return to colored eyes. My form tool is selected, the color black is my first plan and target my layer mask. Coloring on the contour of the eyes a brownish/sepia-like color is revealed instead of blue (the color of the eyes). When I on the skin a reddish colour. In this case on THREE platforms... PSE6 CS3 AND CS5.5.

  I have reset my tools. Close the program. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice (PSE6 and CS3). And you have installed a trial version and reset preferences in CS5.5 (just to see if I could overcome my problem). I also reset the default preferences in CS5.5.

  Recently, I uninstalled a trial version of PSE10 (a week ago give or take and I think that I have chosen to remove preferences... do not know well).

  OS: Vista

  Browser: Chrome

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Katherine

  Yes, I figured that the surrounding grayish area would give the impression that the color of the skin is too orange/high heat, and without external tone, the eye color looks different.

  Katherine, take a piece of paper, make a big hole like brush strokes and place it on the corrected image. This is not the colors are the same as on the image corrected, now? (Well, there should be a gray piece of paper to get exactly the same result)

  It's an optical illusion, like this: http://capslove.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/optical-illusion/ where the eyes of the same color green or cyan according to its surrounding areas. Your mind compensates for the colors and the tricks you into believing that they are different in picture one / two, skin color lighter and less saturated than in your second picture image.

  Knowing this, you can use another adjustment layer, to drive the color where you want (to the soft blue brighter, more saturated) or skin made down the color that appears too bright.

  If the other members of the forum are not paid in graphic design and the influence of surrounding the optical tricks colors/classic, it doesn't surprise me that they are consistent with the description you give, especially if you do ask them 'the skin looks too orange.

  This is why it is recommended to have a photo studio (or the room in what you use Photoshop) with gray walls, why Photoshop interface is neutral blue-grey and not bright pink, etc.

  (If you work on a Pc, select a black theme without transparency for Vista/7, or on a mac, select the choice of interface of graphite, as it could also mislead you.)

  Some use a grey full desktop picture.

  Thanks for the props, guys!

• problem with dynamic mask.

  I have a video with green screen. I removed the green part of the video. in this way, I have people in the video without background,

  I want to get this effect: Morgan - after - YouTube 01:02 I want to insert a video or an image on top of the population with green screen, but this new video should stay only on the people and it should not cover the bottom.

  I get this with a simple mask for 1FPS, but the people themselves moves and I can change the mask of each image.

  I am looking for an effect that create a dynamic mask or a way of excluding the background in the new video.

  Sorry for my English, but explained a problem with sequels in a another language is very difficult.

  I hope that everyone knows the effects or a video tutorial

  I'm sorry, but I can't see the video in the USA.  However, I think I know what you want to do.  You want the Green people shielded to become invisible.  In their shapes, you want to put the new video.

  It's easy.  Add the video you want to fill the hole of people-shped on your comp.  On the top layer, add the green screen of people.  Now go to the bottom layer and use the layer screen green people as an Alpha inverted Matte.  You will see your video of replacement in a hole in the form of people.

• Problem with the levels in PSE7 adjustment layer

  Hello

  I have a problem with the levels adjustment layer in PSE 7.0. I made this photo that shows exactly as I want it in PSD format, but when I save it in JPG format all adjustment layers are lost. I tried to get the same result by using simple Enhance > > adjustments > > levels, but I cannot get the same result with the same settings as with the adjustment layer.

  How can I solve this?

  I saw in a tutorial that might help add a new layer above the layer of setting and then merge visible layers, but it does not work either.

  I hope someone can help me if I can complete the picture.

  It seems that the problem is that your image size is big enough in comparison to the size of your available screen and you make your settings at roughly 18% view.

  Photoshop elements uses interpolation to show the images on the screen, so you can't really see exactly the result unless you view an image at 100% display (actual pixels)

  If you try to do the steps from the beginning with your image at 100% view, does make a difference?

  (Double-click on the Zoom tool in the Toolbox for 100% view (actual pixels))

• Problem with the placement of layer 3D Ray Trace

  I have problems with this ORB. I want it revolve around the ferret, as it seems to be made up display on the right, but when it is in the camera activates, it remains before the ferret. If I place the ORB layer below the layer of ferret, so everything is behind the ferret. I can't surround around well. Any ideas on how to get this to work? I work in Raytraced 3D.

  I am running After Effects on mac osx 10.7.4 11.0.1.12 CS6.

  

  Edit: To give more information, the orb is a CC Particle World with a glow effect.

  So here is what I found that worked. I took the extruded ferret and the movement of the camera and pre-comp had, he fell into a new comp, he made a 3D layer, then put my particle effect in and using the obstructing layer as you suggest, I could successfully create the scene that I was going to. He also spead to the top the overview and updates LiveUpdate considerably.  I also used a mask to make smaller ferret model, although I don't know if that actually does something.

  Thanks ShiftHorizon for suggesting particular and thanks Mylenium for obfuscation layer!

• Problem with mask effect Gaussian blur

  Greetings! I've seen discussions where people had various problems with the following mask in Premiere Pro CC, but I had not seen this issue discussed, so I hope it's just a user error.

  I have a video where I need to blur the faces of several people in it.

  1. I applied Gaussian blur effect to the clip and used the tool free draw draw around A person's head.
  2. I have enabled the button animation next to the mask path label and then played the clip for some time.
  3. Then when his head would move out of the effect mask that I created, I would pause, add a keyframe and click and drag in the middle of the blue mask, that I had done in the program monitor, dragging on his head.

  Everything was fine. I did this several times.

  Then finally I suspended and made a keyframe, and suddenly the blue lines for the mask disappeared! You could still see the effect, but I could capture the effect is more and adjust it.

  Anyone has an idea why the blue lines for the mask suddenly stop appearing in the program monitor? This has happened several times, and I can't understand what the problem is. Thank you!

  Furthermore, I had already tried the mask tracking tool and he was not coherent enough, that's why I'm doing it manually.

  Select the mask in the Panel for the outline to show effect Options.

• Problem with mask in mask with mode GPU on a HTC m8

  Hi, this could be an old bug, we see a problem with AIR 15 and 16 on only this phone HTC Android (4.2.2) newish special. Our app uses GPU renderMode. The problem occurs if you have a MovieClip that is hidden with children who have children who are also hidden, so only the first hidden child renders. Also, make all other objects that are not hidden but if one of them has a mask, then that has not been made. This problem will not occur on an older One X HTC and HTC Desire 610 running the same version of Android (4.2.2). He can't get on Google Nexus 4 or iOS.

  Thanks for your help!

• Problem with masks at sending back of Speedgrade first (CC)

  Hello

  I'm color ranking a clip in SpeedGrade CC using the new direct link function. For calibration of the colors I used masks and also the different layers. Once I'm done, I sent my sequence back to first Pro CC.

  I see, first shows me exactly the color correction, I did in SpeedGrade, except for one thing:
  The places where I used the masks in SpeedGrade to illuminate their for example a little until now are filled with lines pixeled...
  I thought it's just a problem with the preview, so I exported it. Slept pixeled lines.

  Once again: in SpeedGrade is all fine, but when I send the return sequence to the first there are those pixels.

  It's really irritating because one day before it worked fine with no problems and I was virtually the same as now.

  Please help me if you can! Thank you!

  I even posted in the Premiere Pro forum and got a good answer:
