Select visible layers

Similar Questions

• 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

  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) {}
          }
      }

• 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.

• On adobe Illustrator, how could I sellect a selection of layers and move to the top of the tab layers everything always now on layers selcted, other than to scroll to the top?

  On adobe Illustrator, how could I sellect a selection of layers and move to the top of the tab layers everything always maintaining on the selcted layers in a sub-folder already done, other than to scroll upwards and gout? As it takes long time, if there are a few hundreds layers. Shortcut keys / setting?

  I'm afraid, is not a feature in artificial intelligence. [PS it would be Shift-Cmd / Ctrl +] or [.]

• CTRL-r: can this select all layers when in the window of the model please?

  Thank you

  Cmnd/CTRL + A selects all layers in the timeline panel or the Comp panel when panels are selected. In the project Panel, he would choose all of the assets within the Panel. Have you tried it? The only way to have that does not work is to have another selected Panel.

• 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.

• Import from a PSD unique selection of layers

  How is - a matter a specific selection of layers in a single psd file containing many please.

  That is to say. in one fell swoop after selection of the layer.

  The simple answer is you can't. Closest to you that you can come is to import the PSD file as a composition and to remove some of the layers after that.

  I presume you've seen the Premiere Pro workflow for this and expect the same thing in After Effects. If so, please submit a feature request:

  http://Adobe.LY/feature_request

  FWIW, we seek to work on Photoshop and Illustrator import of workflows in After Effects to the near (ish) future, so it is a good time to make such a request.

• Simultaneously select several layers and sous-calques

  Hello

  I'll have to select several layers and their Undercoats in Illustrator 2014, but sticking to the procedure described in the post below only lets you select several "main layers" with the left sublayer deselected.

  Re: Is it possible to select more than one layer by selecting the first and the last layers?

  Could someone please explain how the layers and sous-calques can be selected in the layers panel?

  In Illustrator, make more and more confused about the layer control...

  Thank you in advance,

  EAD

  That would be nice.

• 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.

• Replace in selected only layers layer names

  I use this script to find and replace words in layers. (The script targets only particular words, rather than the entire layer name).

  I would like to do so it targets only the selected layers.

  I found this script that loops through the selected only layers, but I don't know how to add search and replace the name functioality layer.

  Thanks for any help that can be offered.

  Flipping through the guide, it does not seem to "hasSelectedArtwork", is built in function either. Are there tutorials or guides that explain how to target the selected layers?

  Wrong reference manual, see this one:

  Layer

  Property

  hasSelectedArtwork

  Value type

  Boolean

  What it is

  If true, an object in this layer has been selected; set to false to deselect all objects in the layer.

  So, as I have spoken here:

  Fix. Yes there is no direct way unfortunately (like many things through script), that's why I suggested using "hasSelectedArtwork", that might work if you select the target layer in the choice of your layers you want to rename.

  and...

  if(layerReferenceString.hasSelectedArtwork == true) {}

  Who would offer a way of knowing whether a layer is selected.

  As far as I know that is the only round about way to know if a layer is selected via the script.

• Automatic selection in Photoshop CC selects the layers locked or hidden groups

  I can't be the only person who thinks that it is the nut that when ' automatic selection > layers are selected and drag to select a bunch of layers, I also select the layers that are turned off or locked, what I can?

  I just confirmed that this IS not the case with CS6 - locked or hidden layers are not selected on drag to select the exposed layers.

  is this a bug or some new features that I'm a failure to grasp? I noticed that in CC, on the right click is the new option to 'isolate the layers', but this seems just to isolate and to clean up the layers in the layers panel.

  I'd greatly appreciate some insight and possible solutions to this problem.

  Thank you.

• 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

  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");
                                }
  
                      }

• Shortcut for "select visible pixels?

  CS3 was a command when you click a layer in the layermenu: "Select visible pixels", but he went in CS4. A Mac user showed me how a command-click on a layer selected visible pixels, but it does not work with Ctrl, alt, or shift on my CS4/Win7-PC. There is no other choice for this command in the selection menu. Does anyone have any suggestions?
