Simplification of the layers in Elements 8?

When I create a shape (rectangle or elliptical) in a new layer, I just can't simplify it.  There is no "Simplify" button in the options bar, and if I drop down the menu layers Layer selection simplify is grayed out and not available.  Any advice out there?

You don't have this button at all when you use the shape tools? Something is very, very wrong.

  • Forming of the layers with Elements 8

    I took 5 photographs using the techniques of luminous paint recently proposed in DPS Light Painting tutorial.  However, using 8 items, I can't combine them into layers.  I can get them in elements, save them and open them in layers of elements section.  However, I do not know where to go to from there.  Any help out there?

    The empty file will be your canvas. It is important that its dimensions and the resolution is the same as that of the images. They should all be the same, because, no doubt, you have taken with the same camera. You will have 6 layers: background, layers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

  • Is there anyway to keep the layers in Photoshop Elements when recording in format .jpg?

    I am new to the use of PES and I like their concept of layers so that the original photo is not altered, however, my preference is to save all my files using .jpg.  I actually discovered yesterday that after 3 weeks of scanning in very old family photos, then using PSE11 and using layers and then backup to .jpg, now when I open it again these files in EPS that the layers created have disappeared.  Help, please!

    Thanks for the recommendation on Googling PSD to JPEG conversion that I'll look in.  My plan is I think the first scenario that you mentioned.  I spent a week off the coast during Christmas pictures old many sorting that I inherited and have since bought an Epson V600 Scanner that came with Photoshop Elements.  I spent a number of weeks of research on the best practices to use with the Epson scanner analysis, then an equal amount of time familiarizing myself with Photoshop Elements I've ever used before.  In particular, compared to the other I used photo editing tools, I really like the ability to retouch PSE and localized sharpening / Brush tool for a lot of old photos that aren't in the best of shape.  To change things (just if I'm not scanning for a year and then touching up for another year +), I'm scanning a group of photos I've sorted by theme and then spending time using Photoshop on these, and most of the time I'm scanning only pictures of people that I know to be members of the family or friends of family nearby. Once this batch is finished, I was moving to the next batch of scanning and treatment with PSE.

    Funny you should mention the kodacolor the slides that you have scanned.  I did this same work (approx. 5000 slides that my dad had in his lifetime) about 7 years ago with a slide scanner that I bought at the time.  Like you, I've scanned everything and then using a tool (Zoombrowser) editing of Canon, I hit only these slides scanned with meaning for me.  Now the phase 2 (7 years later) is scanning in all my photos of old parents, and I've already sorted on the pictures, I think no family, so now are using PSE, I expect I'll do some sort of button until most of them.  Sorry for the lengthy response, but I enjoyed reading of your recommendations and appreciate the help and guidance you provided.  Thanks for all your help and your time.

  • Need help with custom script to rename the layers

    Hello world.

    I need help to write a custom script (because I suck at it) that will allow me to go through all the layers and sous-calques for a specific name ('X') and give it a new specific name ('Y').

    I have had success using the script below, but it does not work on any text layers names where the text layer was previously particularly well-known in 'X' and now changed needs.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    * Note: this script was originally used to find any layer with 'Copy' in its name and remove with anything after (to correct the problem of duplication of layers by adding this text).

    This is why the function is named removeCopy. It works for renaming layers also - just not a layer of text unfortunately.

    #target illustrator

    function removeCopy() {}
    If (app.documents.length == 0) return;
    var app.activeDocument = docRef;
    recurseLayers (docRef.layers);
    }
    removeCopy();
    function recurseLayers (objArray) {}
    for (var i = 0; i < objArray.length; i ++) {}
    ObjArr [i] .name = ObjArr [i].name.replace (/ \s*current name\s*\d*/, 'new name');
    If (objArray [i] .layers) recurseLayers (. layers.length > 0 ObjArr [i]);
    }
    }

    I finally found something after searching forums for a week. My confusion was related to the way Illustrator treats real layers against text/path/object "layers." Instead of layers, I had to use the pageItems in the script. The code below works. Thanks to Gustavo for his answer in another thread and Carlos I thank you for this looking too good! You're great to be ready to help models do more advanced things with Illustrator.

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var items = doc.pageItems;
    for (var g = 0; g)
        elements [g] .name = elements [g].name.replace ('Century Schoolbook text line', ' MonogramText: Century Schoolbook ");
    };
    App.Redraw ();
  • working with layers of animation in CC open psd file so that the layers appear as frames?

    I recently got Photoshop CC and work on animations with limited success, I'll open a psd file and sometimes it will open with the layers as frames and other times not I can put the layers in the timeline one at a time but it is very time consuming that some files are 100 or more layers I'll open the file and it will take only a layer of the timeline when I convert to video editing I'm going to drag the layers up to the first line, but when I go back to the timeline, all are invisible except for the first image I know that it's probably something obvious, but I can't understand it.

    PSD file have been save with aura image Animations Frames in an animation image in the timeline panel.  PSD have been saved without animation image and aura created video or animation of an image or a video in the timeline palette.

    You can create a picture Animation timeline or video for layers Document has nothing in the editing Palette panel.  If you create an image Photoshop Animation can make frame for all the layers quickly and easily.  Create the Animation of the image by clicking on the animation of the image to create in the palette of the timeline. Which will create a single image in the animation of the image. Use the drop-frame animation Palette, then click on branding point layers. An image for each layer will create it in the document.  If the frames are in the wrong order three is in the same menu drop-down to change their order.   There is also an element that will make any new added layers are visible on all frames.  You can also have Photoshop generate tween two frames with the interpolation point.

    Here is an animation of image that I created with two layers that are visible in all frames.  A layer of layer mask.  I created two frames. The first and last frames where I changed the position of the layers which has the layer mask in both frameworks.  Then I had Photoshop generated all the other frames between the first and the last images.

  • Problems of displacement of the layers

    I've been a user of items for 10 years, using ss12 since June. Recently, I had a problem of displacement of the layers inside and between files. When you work on a file, if I try to drag and drop a layer it just snaps back to where it was. I can move the layer with the arrow keys, but it fully takes to long. I do not understand why it started earlier past. I can open my previous version, PE 6 and move layers I have always done, but since I paid for upgrade to ss12 it would be nice to be able to use it. Any input on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Kirsten

  • SmartImport - add to the layers of scale model

    Is it possible to edit the SmartImport script in the after effects place the results processed directly in a model? Basically, I would like to automate typing a bunch of image sequences and to have these seqeunces fell into a specific model.

    I thought I would add something like that need to reference files to find in the SmartImport function... but I don't know what/how the SmartImport variable are used?  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    masterComp Variables

    var compWidth = 1920;

    var compHeight = 1080;

    var compPAR = 1;

    var compDur = 60;

    var compFPS = 24;

    Create the Master model

    var masterComp = app.project.items.addComp ("MASTER", compWidth, compHeight, compPAR, compDur, compFPS);

    Results SmartImport place in masterComp

    masterComp.layers.add (SmartImportResults);

    If you can assume that the elements of one film in the project bin are those imported by SmartImport, you could do just something like this after you have created your model:

    for (var i = 1; i)<= app.project.numitems;="">

    If (app.project.item (i) instanceof FootageItem) {}

    masterComp.layers.add (app.project.item (i), masterComp.duration);

    }

    }

    Otherwise, you will need to change SmartImport to save its results as it goes along. I would probably create a global network at the beginning of script

    var myFootageItems = [];

    and then change the importSafeWithError() function to push the results in the table:

    function importSafeWithError (importOptions)

    {

    try {}

    var myFootage = app.project.importFile (importOptions);

    myFootageItems.push (myFootage);

    } catch (error) {}

    Alert (Error.ToString () + importOptions.file.fsName, scriptName);

    }

    }

    Then in your code, just go through the table and add the layers:

    for (var i = 0; i)< myfootageitems.length;="">

    masterComp.layers.add (myFootageItems [i], masterComp.duration);

    }

    I have not tested this code, so it may not be perfect, but it should be close.

  • How can I add new images to the layers panel?

    Hello

    I am brand new with photoshop elements 11.  I'm having a problem understanding how to import new images in the layers panel.  If I type "create a new layer" all that I get is an empty layer.  I want to do is to import an image where I'll cut part of it and layer it on another image.  For example: of lets say I want to put a picture of myself in front of a tree.  I want to take the image myself from a photo and he sleeps on the photo that has the tree on it.  How can I get both of these images in the layers panel even?  I can get the picture of me in the layers panel as layer #1, so I can cut myself out of the picture.  My problem is when I try to import the picture with the tree on this subject, it opens upward in a new tab.  If I try to hit 'create a new layer', only a white layer appears above my first coat.  I tried to drag the new image on the layers panel, but will not join.  All the tutorials I could find and monitor, have already all the images they work with pre-loaded in the layers panel.  I just need to know how to get my pictures in the Panel, so that I can start working with them.

    Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

    P.S. I'm working on an iMac 2009

    After selecting, you press Cmd + J and which will put the selection on a new layer.

    Drag your tree to the top of the location of the project in the main image window.

    Organize layers for example you may need to drag the tree stratum under the layer with yourself.

  • How do you manage the layers and objects and to rear of the other

    I do not understand how it is possible to have many objects on the stage and be able to handle the motion tweens with each of them, but ALSO to manage the objects are in front and behind them. I have a boot animation and there are many ongoing action, and there are times where I need my guys to be in front of the objects, and the time when they need to be behind.

    I do not know how to handle things regarding the layers and the movements in a way so I can get the items in the order that I need them to be (as the element on which passes in front of the other).

    Someone at - it advice or a way that I can manage my objects and queries and be able to classify them on the stage so that I can arrange things how I need them to be investment and who should be in front of the other objects?

    Yes, if you want to animate 20 items, you must put each item in its own layer. There are a number of ways to make it a little less tedious. For example, if you place each element on the stage, in the same layer, and then name each instance, you can then select all the elements on the stage and then select the Edit menu and then the timeline and finally distribute to layers. This will place each item in a layer newly created at the same position on the stage and then name each layer to match the name of instance for this element.

    To change the Z-order of any given scene element, you can use a number of different methods. One method is to use Actionscript as I mentioned in my last post. ActionScript is the best method if you need to be able to respond to user input and show the changes that cannot be built in animation since the beginning. If you're just showing an animation preset, you can use a number of methods different timeline based.

    In your example, if you want to have a figure to move another object on the stage, you can do that by creating two layers of the same object. One on one with the figure between the two. So that you have the object to move around both in front and behind, the figure. When you want to display the number in front of the object, set the object in the layer that is on top is not not visible. Then you will see only the object that is at the origin and the figure in front of him. How you go about changing the visible property or the alpha property, of this object. You can use keyframes in the timeline panel or the simple ActionScript.

    You want to find a small pool in the basics of Flash or take a book to guide you. There are a number of very good tutorials on the basic available free animation: http://www.gotoandlearn.com, or at a cost: http://www.lynda.com .

    I use Keynote 7.0 on macOS Sierra on a MacBook Pro.
