• How to activate the movement of tools toggle the layer/group off

  Update photoshop today and the command key, which allows use of select lock when it is used with the tool moving, is become a rocking/layer group. Hot damn, this really screws with years years of muscle memory with this tool. Is it possible to return it to the way it used to have it function?

  This topic was brought up a little bit in the poast weeks, while many users encounter this same problem.

  I seems to me that the interim solution is to hold down the 'V' instead of command. Just treat the keystroke 'V' exactly the same way you treat the "Command" key... in other words, hold the V key, click anywhere in your document to select your layer, then release V.

• Rename the layer, group, Javascript object

  Hey guys,.

  I am writing a script which renames a layer and the group within the layer, then an object in the layer (but is not part of the Group) and have it executed in a loop.

  This is what I have so far, change of group name does not work.

  #target Illustrator
  
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  
  idLayers(doc)//IRename layers
  idGroups(doc)//Rename groups
  
  function idLayers(doc){
      for(i=0;doc.layers.length>i;i++){
          doc.layers[i].name= 'id:GTM_Group '+(i+1)
          }
      }
  
  function idGroups(doc){
      for(i=0;doc.groups.length>i;i++){
          doc.groups[i].name= 'id:GTM_Group '+(i+1)
          }
      }
  

  I got into anthing to rename the single object still since I can not even rename it group work. I suspect that the new group name section does not work because I'm either using the incorrect syntax or a command that is not valid. Any ideas?

  (Attention to groups hidden within the transparent traces or other groups because it will find and rename these groups as well.

  to avoid dealing with groups (or objects) within the groups, not loop through all elements in the document, reference your articles by layers

  #target Illustrator
  
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  
  idLayers(doc); // Rename layers
  
  function idLayers(doc){
      for(i=0;doc.layers.length>i;i++){
          var currentLayer = doc.layers[i];
          currentLayer.name= 'id:GTM_Layer '+(i+1);
  
          idGroups(currentLayer); // Rename groups
          idPathItems(currentLayer); // path items
      }
  }
  
  function idGroups(layer){
      for(j=0;layer.groupItems.length>j;j++){
          layer.groupItems[j].name= 'id:GTM_Group '+(j+1)
      }
  }
  
  function idPathItems(layer){
      for(k=0;layer.pathItems.length>k;k++){
          layer.pathItems[k].name= 'id:GTM_Path '+(k+1)

• Selection of the layer not bound to cancel the story when the effect controls panel is open.

  Did anyone else noticed strange with the undo history behavior when the effect controls panel is opened?

  Try this:

  1. have the layers panel, the history and the visible effects at the same time.

  2. open an image

  3. duplicate the layer

  4 make a new empty layer

  5. take the Brush tool and paint two strokes on the new Virgin layer

  6 return the layer duplicated under the layer of white and two strokes of paint

  7. in the history panel, back in the States in history and look at the layers panel

  

  Now close the effect controls panel

  1. in the history panel, select the last State of history

  2 go back in the history States

  Noticed a difference?

  I see the behavior, and I'll log a bug for her report. Very strange, but good catch what the effects Panel which is the source!

• Align the selection to the layer (CS4)

  I know that there is this option to align a layer to selection... But what I often do is I want to make a selection and Center it on the layer - IE, the rectangle selection tool. How are you?

  I guess there should be a very simple way to do it.

  I want to do is darken/lighten the edges (a bit like making a thumbnail) around a few images, and I make a selection, invert the selection, feather and to make an exposure mask and go to little matter I think is very pretty. This is often where I want it to be centered on the layer.

  Thank you!

  Set the Distance 0, as in the example above.

  Hi Cello.25,

  Greetings!

  You can create a group of these layers and then make the change for the Group competition.

  Apply a clipping mask to show changes to this group in particular.

• Have a layer that is replaced with a group of layers of cycle, while the layer back when finished?

  I read a few other topics concerning situations related to this, but I think that I don't quite get my head around what I do.

  I have a puppet. I created a framework of cycle per layer framework for arms action group and, as it should, he travels the layers in order to breast when triggered with the key that I put.

  I want an arm by default to be visible all the time and then just momentarily get replaced when the trigger is active. How do I configure that?

  I worked on it.

  For reference, I had to hide the layer group to cycle along the side of the default arm and check the brothers and sisters to hide when it is active.

• Ctrl-alt for double layer now duplicates groups not only the layer?

  I almost always duplicate the objects or layers by using ctrl-alt drag (while using move tool) to duplicate the layer.  Now, in the last Photoshop CC 2014 it duplicates the not only the layer group.  Is this a setting?  Thank you

  Well, obviously, in the December Update they fixed it... It must have been a glitch in the previous update.  So if you have this problem - update to December was last updated.

  Thank you

• Stack the images in layers with the name of the layer

  Hello

  One allows to stack several images in layers of a particular folder with the name of the layer.

  Example:

  I have 3 layers, and each layer is referred to as a1, a2, and a3. I need a script to take a1 file from a folder (to office) and places it in the layer of a1 and the same need to repeat for the rest.

  So I'll get image layer a1 a1, a2 image layer in a2...

  Thanks in advance

• 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.

• "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".

• In any case to select and distribute the layer MASK?

  First of all:

  Bravo to adobe and being the scourge never in my professional life.

  Now:

  I want to use the button "Distribute Horizontal centers" to space out perfectly a few places I've hidden with images inside. There are six in a row (he is a Web browser) and they are each in a group with a text layer, a button that covers the image, and the image itself which is hidden for a square perfect with an edge effect.

  Naturally, when I select each group, even with the direct Selection, the value 'group' tool, distribute botches royally just work.

  Of course, I can order select each layer, but it is not to distribute what is visually shown, but all of the content of what is hidden, and seeing that I can't not order select each mask, it makes a selection, I turned to what to do. And no, I don't want to flatten each tile because I want to keep the raw nature of the adjustments and other file.

  Yes.

  I created a shape object, live text and a masked image. Created groups, related to all elements inside each respective group, selected all 3 groups and clicked p "distribute horizontal centers.  Worked fine, I understand your dilemma.

  Before you distribute:
