• JS CS4: Create the variable for the active layer, and then select the layer at the end of a script

  I'm come white with the verbiage and spin my wheels with OMV guide and script.

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (0);
  Alert (myOriginalLayer)

  Returns "layer object" and not the name of the layer.

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () .name;

  Returns the name of the layer I want but not by choice.

  I am challenged on how to select the layer.

  Hi John,.

  The difference lies in that the [Object Layer] is the real object, and the 'name' is a property - like color.

  You can use one of these two approaches:

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (0);
  Alert (myOriginalLayer.Name);

  hosts the original layer object, and you can see the name if necessary :-)

  For re - select the layer, use

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = myOriginalLayer;

  You can also select name goes like

  var myOriginalLayerNAME = app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () .name;

  ...

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (myOriginalLayerNAME);

  I also noted the following:

  app.activeDocument.layers.item (0) points to the first layer of your document; not the 'active'. Similarly, app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () points only to the very last. I don't know if the order of the activeDocument.layers array mimicks the order as shown in the tags palette, but I hope for it :-)

  To get/set the active layer, use app.activeDocument.activeLayer as shown above.

• Cannot select the layer via CTRL + ALT

  Hello

  If my memory is good, in CS3, I could ctrl + click on the layer alt while using the Brush tool. I can do is more in CS4. To do this, I first have to click on the selection tool, and then ctrl + alt click an image to select its corresponding layer, which is not a time saver. In any case, am I doing something wrong or avoid to activate certain features? Thanks in advance.

  Select the move tool and make sure automatic selection is checked and it is set to layer in the Options bar. To select another layer simply Ctrl + click on it in the document (no need to the ALT key). Is that what you want?

• Select a layer invisible before

  I am writing an action. I have two layers visible and above the invisible layer. [When I press Alt +] invisible layer does not select. Is there a way to select the layer forward, although it is invisible, without using a mouse?

  You might be able to use an action something like this:

  Before you run the action with the not visible color fill layer

  

  After the execution of the action to select the fill color now visible and selected layer.

  

  You have to experiment the action according to the number of layers, and where in the stack of invisible layers are.

  For the the second stage of the action of the layer current Show that makes all invisible layers visible, stop recording the action after selecting all layers ( Select > all layers) and make the invisible layers using the layer > hide layers

  Then resume recording of the action and go to layer > show layers.

• When I select a layer, I want it to automatically select the content

  I create a new layer empty, then add 1 big brush with very soft edges (making it difficult to see where it ends up actually).  When I select the layer, I want it to automatically select the stroke of brush to resize or move or other.  How can I do this?  Sorry if I don't him have not properly explained.

  With the selected layer, Ctrl + T (PC) command + T (Mac), then you can enter an anchor hold SHIFT and drag... ?

• How to get key command key to toggle only the feature "select automatically layer... »

  Hello world

  Without updates or changes in preferences I know, PS began to work differently for me today. With the tool move I normally have the option 'automatic selection of layer... '. "on. I can then select subgroups in my layers palette, hold down the command toggle button temporarily «automatically select layer...» " offshoreand drag this subgroup around the canvas.

  Today when I toggle the button «Auto select layer...» ' on, now the command temporarily switch it out.

  But when I switch the "layer select automatically...". "button off, holding command modifies the 'Group of layers' option next to him.

  Anyone know why this just started happening, or how I change it back and leave the command button to temporarily keep the selected subgroups ?

  Here's a little video showing the problem: auto select.mov

  Looks like that it will exacerbate a ton of people.

  It's a little confusing, but creative cloud, you will also see fine 'Photoshop CC' and ' Photoshop CC (2014).

  The first is 14.* PS and the second is PS * 15-active extract in Photoshop CC (2014).

• selecting a layer of control

  Hi community...

  I write a script that end with a layer of control and some effects of mouse.

  When the script is done to create all the stuff, I wanted it, the layer of control Master must be selected, and show all the effects of slider in the effect options.

  Without code "selection" the layer is not enabled after the creation of the progress. And when I select the layer by clicking on it, the layer is selected and the effects in the effects controls.

  I only find a code to select the layer by the script:

  newNullControl.selected = true;

  He works at halfway. The layer is now selected, but the effects do not appear in the effect control window.

  How can I fix it? Any ideas?

  THX, Andreas

  Here is a little example that should help you:

  var app.project.activeItem = myComp;

  var theLayer = myComp.layer (1);

  theLayer.selected = true;

  myComp.openInViewer)

  app.executeCommand (app.findMenuCommandId ('effect options'));

  Also, when you get a good answer to your questions, you can mark messages as correct, that makes it easier for other readers to see what worked. We get also points to provide correct answers, which is pretty useless but nice all the same!

• Multiple selection of layer in Photoshop Elements 10

  I used Photoshop CS3 at work, now I'm retired I started using PS 10-elements; can't afford the real thing! I thought that would be substantially the same as CS3 for fairly simple jobs.

  I can't select more than one layer. I select a layer and then hold the Ctrl key, select another layer. The first layer is not checked and the second is selected. I use "Select"-> "All layers", but I am still unable to deselect the layers individually. I know it must be something I am doing wrong, but I'm at a loss to know what! Help!

  I found the answer!

  A little dark, but to know about. I run two computers from the same keyboard and mouse. The second computer is a server for my farm and for security reasons is almost a firewall from the internet but access to it and its screen using 'Synergy' (http://synergy-foss.org/) over the network. Sounds complex but once you have it stood up and launched, you can forget about it and your mouse and your keyboard just move between computers as if they were one.

  Not with Photoshop but! That's what was causing the problem and was slaughter control keys work.

  Deactivation of synergy makes it work OK!

  All my other software is OK with synergy.

  If I use a computer slower than the master of synergy and then use Photoshop on the slave of synergy, that the control key works even on a fast machine.

  Thanks for your help. I'll see now if synergy know this kind of problem!
