• How to use just 1 click away with the move (v command) tool to select the layer in the Group?

  I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Photoshop CS3 10.0.

  Is it possible to click only once with "V command" to select a layer in a group?

  I used to be able to do and on my laptop I can do now (same OS and Photoshop), but the mac that I use for my design work won't... I must also, right-click and select the layer highlighted. I have a document a lot of multilayer Photoshop with many groups, and it is an extra step of your time.

  Is there a preference I can turn on? Or some other simple typo?

  Thank you very much!

  Select the tool move and set the options of the control bar. By default, it took to select a group, simply change layer.

• 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.

• Select the layer name

  I need to select a specific layer or group by name.  What is the correct syntax to do this with Javascript?

  you want to select all the items on the layer? or only some types (e.g., blocks of text, groups, paths)?

  Let's take a look at the same time.

  Let's start by selecting all the elements on a given layer (in this case the layer is called "Target layer");

  Note that pageItems means that any element of art in the document. could be text, could be a path, can be a group, could be a compound path.

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layers = docRef.layers;
  var myLayer = layers["Target Layer"]; //this defines the layer that you want to get the selection from
  
  docRef.selection = null; //ensure there is nothing in the document selected already. this way you only get the selection you want.
  for(var a=0;a
  now lets do the same thing, but we will choose just the groupItems
  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layers = docRef.layers;
  var myLayer = layers["Target Layer"];
  
  docRef.selection = null;
  for(var a=0;a
  and finally, in order to be comprehensive, allows to select two different types of art objects, but not all types. For example, if a single layer has text blocks, groups, paths and transparent traces. Let's just select managers of related texts and groupItems. This time we will have to include a conditional statement to find the correct item types.
  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layers = docRef.layers;
  var myLayer = layers["Target Layer"];
  
  docRef.selection = null;
  for(var a=0;a		   

• Impossible to select the layer.

  I make a film of typography. I am now at the part that I do a composition of each 5 layers. But after several times I'm stuck. Because as soon as I select a layer I select the publication I've done. It's just scared because I still get the error when I'm away in. Losing hours of work.

  If you never turned on, how ' end Open GL?  It should be off, too.  After these two easy to do things, you can dig deeper in the previous proposals if necessary.

• 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?

• "Control Click" to select the layer when it is in a group?

  You can keep the [Ctrl] key and click on an element in your document to select its layer. However, if click you on something that is within a group, the entire group is selected. Is there a way to get around this other that right click and selecting its layer in the context menu?

  What version of photoshop?

  CS 3: next to the check box, you can choose "group" or "layer".

• Select the triangular function to select box

  I have a triangular select function with its output connected to a shift register in a state machine.  The shift register is then used to set the case in order to determine the next case elapse.  The triangular select function entries are T: value of 10 and F: value in the registry to offset after is incremented by 1 so he can go to the next case ?: Boolean flag that lets me know if another parallel loop is running.  The question I have is when the flag is true how it flows to the case 10 when I have only 9 cases in this state machine?  Do I get an error or to the state machine will just end?

  I'm using Labview 5.1.1.

  This makes a big difference. Not sure, but I don't think that cases of failure have been supported in 5.1.1. If I remember correctly, if the business structure was driven by a numeric value and you sent a value greater than the highest value, then the latter would be executed.

• Change shortcut to select the layer

  Hello!

  I have a Wacom graphics tablet and since there or a lot of shortcuts which deals like Alt + [and Alt +], I would like to change that to something less complicated. l can then change the newly programmed shortcut in the driver of my tablet. l has already successfully done with the shortcuts of in - and reduce the size of the brush. Easy to do the same so the selection of layers, one might think. Not quite, because l can not find the option in the dialog (Edition > keyboard shortcuts). There is an entry named "leading" etc, but not what I need! I just need to change the shortcut that switches between active layers! Someone at - it AN idea on how this can be done?

  Thank you very much in advance,

  Anthake a.k.a Sabine

  You said any idea: make an action and gives a more accessible shortcut.

• Select the aggregation function

  Hello
  I have the PL/SQL block that I'm testing. The block reads a list of values from a local file and inserts values in a select statement that uses an aggregate function. Here is my code:
  
  DECLARE
  
  f utl_file.file_type;
  N % cOLa TYPE; -contains the values in the file
  v% COLb TYPE; -contains the value returned by the select statement
  
  BEGIN
  
  f: = utl_file.fopen(dir,file.txt,'R');
  
  loop - browse file
  
  UTL_FILE.get_line (f, n);
  If length (n) <>0 then
  
  SELECT max (A0. COLa) v
  FROM (SELECT HCA. COLa, A0. COLb
  
  OF TAB1 TAB2 A0B, A0
  
  WHERE (A0. PK = A0B. PK) and A0B. COLa = n) A0;
  Number of lines IF SQL % = 0 THEN
  dbms_output.put_line('no Rows);
  on the other
  dbms_output.put_line (v);
  end if;
  end if;
  
  end loop;
  
  UTL_FILE.fclose (f);
  end;
  
  
  Here is the error I get:
  
  declare
  *
  ERROR on line 1:
  ORA-01403: no data found
  ORA-06512: at "SYS." UTL_FILE", line 98
  ORA-06512: at "SYS." UTL_FILE", line 656
  ORA-06512: at the level of line 12
  
  I checked the database for the first two values from the list and got lines. I also ran a simple PL/sql code to print values in the file successfully. So I do not know why it is not no found data. What I understand select in the statement using aggregate functions don't ever trigger this exception, so why I get this error?
  
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Actually, the key to SELECT it... INTO is not the problem here.
  Look at the error message:

  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-01403: no data found
  ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 98
  ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 656
  ORA-06512: at line 12
  

  The error is ancestral inside utl_file, who is called to the line 12 of your code. (Which should be

  utl_file.get_line(f,n);
  

  )

  Utl_file.get_line triggers NO_DATA_FOUND when it reaches the end of the file. (If she wouldn't you have an infinite loop, because your code is not an exit strategy.)
  You can put the call to get_line in its EXCEPTION-BEGIN-END block won and intercept the NO_DATA_FOUND error.
  For example:

  end_of_file := 0;
  
  WHILE  end_of_file = 0;
  loop -- loop through file
  
      BEGIN
          utl_file.get_line(f,n);
  
          if length(n) != 0 then          -- Use !=, because you can't post <> on this site
  
              SELECT  max(A0B.COLa)     -- No sub-query needed
              into    v
              FROM    TAB1 A0
              ,         TAB2 A0B
              WHERE   (A0.PK   = A0B.PK)
              and         A0B.COLa = n; 
  
              IF SQL%rowcount = 0 THEN     -- Not needed: SELECT MAX ... without GROUP BY always returns 1 row
                  dbms_output.put_line('no rows);
              else
                  dbms_output.put_line(v);
              end if;
          end if; 
  
      EXCEPTION
          WHEN  NO_DATA_FOUND
          THEN
              end_of_file = 1;
      END;
  
  end loop;

• 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... ?

• Selection of the layer groups

  Hello.

  I wanted to ask you:

  There he shortened or key combination special to select the layer on the Web when he's in the band?

  When I press ctrl + lmb in a layer that sits on canvas PS selects the entire group, but not this layer.

  Hi Oxmstr,

  There is a shortcut to select the layers that are inside a group.

  

  If you have a mouse with more than one button, select the move tool and right click on the area of the image that's on the layer you want to select. If you use a Mac and a mouse to a button, select the tool move and Ctrl + click. A context menu appears and you can select the layer you want very quickly.

  

  To find more Photoshop CS6 shortcuts, see the Photoshop CS6 quick reference Guide. You can search for tools, menus and shortcuts.

  I hope this helps.

• Workflow problem - how to stop Illustrator by selecting the top layer after each record?

  Hello

  One of the great things about diapers is the ability to have items in a locked layer above the layer you are using. However, when Illustrator finishes savings, he selects the layer and if the layer that is locked and then you travel constantly in the layers palette to select the layer that you worked prior to backup - I need to that 50 - 100 times per hour.

  Is there a way to force Illustrator to remember you were working before the backup - and bring him back to this layer after layer save him?

  Any pointers in the right direction would be much apprciated.

  See you soon

  Ben

  Yo know what - I think this may have something to do with having "Create a PDF compatible" off in la - like preferences.

  It seems that when this option is enabled, the problem does not occur, but turn it off makes it - I just tried this on a whole new file with text and boxes.

  It's the same for you guys?
