Script text layers

Hey ho,

Basically what I'm hoping to do is proof a document of the fool.

I have a template saved, which opens, as published in the need - it's text layers, I'm more concerned about here.

The other guys in the laboratory of evil to use windows so much Photoshop, so I'm hoping to write a script that can change the text inside of a several layers of existing text, then save an action to open a script and put actions button mode - do not confuse the cavemen.

I hope to have a pop up entry field, and entries must change the text within the specified layers. Nothing in the text should change (font, Style, color etc...). I think that altogether there are 8 layers, in which the text should be changed from the opening.

any input would be much appreciated guys,

see you soon

In this example, text layers are identified by a name ad must be at the top level.

// 2014, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
////////////////////////////////////
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
//////////////////////////////////////////
////// create dialog for customer-entry //////
var dlg = new Window('dialog', "Enter the texts", [500,300,820,850]);
dlg.textA = dlg.add('edittext', [12,15,308,35], "", {multiline:false});
dlg.textA.active = true;
dlg.textB = dlg.add('edittext', [12,45,308,65], "", {multiline:false});
//////////////////////////////
// build- and cancel-button;
dlg.buildBtn = dlg.add('button', [168,470,307,500], 'OK', {name:'ok'});
dlg.cancelBtn = dlg.add('button', [13,470,153,500], 'Cancel', {name:'cancel'});
dlg.center();
var myReturn = dlg.show ();
// check fpr availability of the used fonts;
if (myReturn == true) {
replaceTheText (myDocument.layers.getByName("text1"), dlg.textA.text);
replaceTheText (myDocument.layers.getByName("text2"), dlg.textB.text);
};
};
//////////////////////////////
function replaceTheText (theLayer, theString) {
theLayer.textItem.contents = theString
};

Edit: And there are opportunities for something to go wrong there indeed.

So we can hope for the best, wrap perhaps problematic things in try-clauses or include controls.

  • Rasterize all text layers?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me please in the right direction in regards to a loop in an open psd file and Pixelation all text layers (no other layers).

    I'm not one of those people who expect scripts written for them, just so that a point in the right direction would be sufficient (except if you're feeling generous).

    I'm new to Photoshop scripts and still get my head around some syntax.

    Thank you in advance.

  • Is it possible to rasterize all layers EXCEPT the text layers?

    Is it possible to rasterize all layers EXCEPT the text layers? Other than each non-text layer selection then by selecting layer > rasterize > layers. Maybe someone had a script for this that they could share?

    Layer to smart object, shape layers, layer and setting.

    Use the filters at the top of the layers panel, and then click to view the layer to rasterize (note that include adjustment layers)

    Click the red button to enable or disable filters.

    Select the filtered layer and right-click and choose rasterize

  • Cannot change text layers different justifications

    Hello


    I have a script in which I add 2 text layers, and on one of them, I want the justification to be right and the other on the left. I must be missing something really simple because everything I try gives them both have the same justification. Help appreciated!

    (some vars are not here because they are part of other codes, but they all work. The problem is just justification)

    var curProj = app.project;
    var comp = curProj.items.addComp("My Comp", width, height, 1, time, rate);
    
           var textLeft = comp.layers.addText(leftSide);
           var textProp = textLeft.property("Source Text");
           var textSettings = textProp.value;
           textSettings.fillColor = [r, g, b];
           textSettings.justification = ParagraphJustification.RIGHT_JUSTIFY;
           textSettings.fontSize = 72;
           textSettings.font = realFontValues[fontInput.selection.index];
           textProp.setValue(textSettings);
           
           var textRight = comp.layers.addText(rightSide);
           var textPropTwo = textRight.property("Source Text");
           var documentSettings = textPropTwo.value;
           documentSettings.fillColor = [r, g, b];
           documentSettings.justification = ParagraphJustification.LEFT_JUSTIFY;
           documentSettings.fontSize = 72;
           documentSettings.font = realFontValues[fontInput.selection.index];
           textPropTwo.setValue(documentSettings);

    There is a bug in After Effects, where the justification always returns left when the value by a script if the last character in text is a space or return character. Difficult to know if it is the problem of the info you gave, but it's the only question I know associated justification if your code is otherwise works as expected.

    The workaround for this is to set justification when the text is set on something more regular, and then modify the text as a separate after process.

  • Whenever I have save my PSD, it automatically rasterizes all text layers within the entire file. Help

  • How to apply effects to layer the layer of text from other text layers?

    Hey people,

    I'm working on a video graphic animation and currently making some changes of fonts.  I added some effects to the police of one of my text layers.  If I want to keep these effects consistent whenever I have add a new text layer, is there a way to copy and paste attributes the effects to a layer to another?

    Thanks for the help!

    m

    What kind of effects are you talking about?

    You can create a preset and apply this. Otherwise, you could just duplicate (Ctrl + D or CMD + D) any existing and any text layer just change the text and timing of each layer. Another solution is to copy the layer with links to property.

  • I think I found a bug with CC 14 in what text layers will not be rendered. Super boring!

    I just changed a video on Youtube and I noticed that my text layers, which I have added to my images wouldn't make out in video. Rather my video to freeze, and then start playing again. I tried to make out in ProRes format and it happened again. So I just wanted to make the text and low and here the screen was blank. I just changed recently cs6 y at - there a way around this? It's a good thing that I discovered this at the beginning because I always have my 30days to cancel.

    In addition to the oddities that Ann has been noted, the sequence is interlaced while the export parameters are progressive. I have no particular reason to think that one of these weird little details would cause a problem, but it is of course an original set of properties.

    I would start by checking with a more normal scenario to see if the problem persists:

    1. New project
    2. New sequence, using a 1080 preset, such as AVCHD 1080 p 24.
    3. Create a universal counting Leader and a title and add both to the timeline.
    4. Export to the same preset from YouTube.

    If the result of this sequence has the same problem, then it's time to collect information about your system: OS version, map chart & driver, if you have installed the codecs.

    If the title survives the test, then start to tweak things in the direction of the problematic sequence, change only one variable at once--adding weird 29.99 video AVCHD, changing a single sequence setting in time, etc.. Export after each change and see if the problem returns.

    Tests should also be:

    1. Try the different paths of coding: 'in-process' by clicking Export in the export and through SOUL settings dialog box by clicking on queue.
    2. In the SOUL, encode with the Import parameter sequences enabled natively, then again with the option turned off. [Preferences > General]
    3. Test rendering to GPU acceleration engine and with him assign software only [file > Project Settings > General.
  • Why my text layers are not made? Text makes RAM Preview

    I have a 2D moderately complex composition in 2014 EI, using several Adobe Illustrator files and nested compositions that make it very well.

    I can also preview the composition perfectly RAM Preview (about 25 seconds of it anyway).

    The problem starts when I try to add the composition to the render queue. Everything except text layers make it very well, but the type is absent (these are native text AE layers, not any type).

    I have had no success, the research of the Creative Cow and Adobe user groups. All layers are visible with the 'eyes' on, and I do not use the 3D settings.

    Render settings are best settings, Lossless, but I played with different parameters and get the same results.

    I have the computer which is a duplicate of another comp that I added about 20 layers of text too. I did it because it is a series of videos of 6 part with the same minute long intro. It was filmed on a green and hidden background with primatte. I use police in Kandal of TypeKit. I used this font for the last 6 months with no problems.

    Just before I went on h.264 I restarted my computer (as I usually do) so the RAM would be clearly and he would make a few minutes faster. When I opened the project to the top I noticed that the model of third lower, I added was jibberish fonts and text layers. It is also apparent that way inside After Effects. It is not consistent and effects of different images in different areas and it affects all the text. Someone please tell me how to solve this problem. Screenshots below (I've cut out a lot because it's a customer)

    The video below has gone blurred out because it is a customer but shows the problem in action.

    Looks like fonts corrupted for me. Try to change the font in AE and see if the text clears. If it does not try then type something again. Failure tell us everything you can on your project, and try to remember what anyone who may have changed since this project has worked successfully.

  • REGROWTH DOES NOT STEP ON THE TEXT LAYERS

    I'm having a problem with the 3D feature pushed back in Photoshop CS5 on text layers. About two weeks ago, I had a pure Windows 7 install on new hard drives in RAID 0. Everything seems to work perfectly until when I tried to use repoussé feature a couple of days. I got an error message that says "unable to complete the command text layer as the text layer uses a style"BOLD"false".

    I tried to create a new document to see if it can work, the modified fonts that previously worked, but to know avail. I open a file I created using Windows Vista, typed a text layer and it works using the same font that would not work on the other file. At some point it has failed on the two files. It seems to be selective, because it works on some then fails to work on others. I'm really confused as to why this is happenning.

    Am I missing here?

  • Enregistrer to save in PDF, keeps all the text layers

    I am trying to save a file in Photoshop CS5 in PDF, it works for the most part well, only problem is that not all text layers are kept as selectable text in the PDF file.  I initially tried the rescue of the PES with this result, I thought that perhaps Photoshop CS5 would do a better job.  Unfortunately, same results.

    I don't know if text only is passed as text in the PDF file, I get quality really incoherent text to the printer.

    Advice on potential problems in the work that could lead to convverted text layers in the file PDF is not properly?


    Thank you


    Mark

    PS, I did an extensive web and knowledge base, research before you post and can't find anything useful.

    Found the solution!

    The problem was with any text layer styles 'false '.  It's bold and italic applied as a style rather than use the specific style of the font family font.   After removing all the beautifully converted file false character styles to PDF retaining all as selectable text and printing is high resolution vector text.

    I want to thank Print New Hampshire that took long hours this investigation until they found the solution for us.

  • Scripts using layers.

    Please can someone help me? I have a file with text objects illustrator (no shots) text objects are numbers 1 to about 300, there is 2 * n ° 1, 2 * n ° 2, 2 * n ° 3 and so on. It is used for the corresponding numbered components up signs numbered for 3D papercraft.

    the script that I need help is to sort the numbers (which are all in 1 layer in a random order) in ascending numerical order.

    It is in order to select the numbers, say 1 to 50 (up to 100 items in total) and then add the (red) fill color, and then select 51-100 and choose the fill (blue) color and so on, to make the shutters numbered and the panels easier your search.

    I know that it is possible by manually selecting, it takes too much time.

    Please can someone point me in the right direction.

    and that puts them in the right order
