Why I'm losing the layer effects when recording in format PDF, JPEG, etc...?

I'm working on a poster for a school assignment in Photoshop that uses a lot of layer effects for multiple objects, including text. I'll have to save to print to PDF for my teacher, but when I do that I lose a lot of quality and some of my layer effects. I tried to save as JPEG and PNG, but they all do the same thing. I also noticed that I lose the effects when I flatten the layers that the effects are on. I need the effects because I'm giving some objects a metallic appearance. It seems that the effects that I lose are the glow inside and bevel and Emboss.

Is there something I am doing wrong? It has nothing to do with the compression? Can someone help me understand what goes wrong so that I can save for printing?

If it was me I would be recording in the format .psd until the end of the project and then saving it to pdf or jpg that these formats are not intended as alternatives to .psd.

Jpg files don't support layers you will always lose them if you save in this format. PDF, however, should be ok, if configure you it correctly. When you save as pdf, make sure the layers box is checked

Make sure that in the next dialog box his game up like this

and finally click on compression then a lossless like zip compression. It should look like this

Hope that gives you better results

  • Lose the layer effects when I flatten image Photoshop CC

    How can I keep my layer effects when I flatten an image or the merger of the layers?  I tried a few ways to merge: for example merge down to an empty layer, visible merger, stamping the image, the rasterization of the layers, saving in jpg format, but still lose the effect.  I can also send it to a lab to be printed with all layers intact, as it is more than 1 GB in size. I searched the net for an answer, but all suggested does not work.  Help, please.  I really need to solve this problem.  Thank you

    It seems to me that you apply tonal corrections of black and white line art, or an image with the frame of halftone (points) (or something similar).

    That won't do anything because all you have is still pure black white and pure - but it will look as it does If you look at what it is other than 100%.


    The reason why the adjustment seems to take, is that you look at a preview resampled, cached, and resampling softens the edges and introduced middle gray values.

    When you group, the adjustment is calculated on the original size. Then he "disappears", because it is actually nothing to resolve.

    I could be wrong and it's something else - but is a very common question and a good bet.

  • Why my ipad loses the wifi connection when I abandon my modem wireless of Qwest

    Why my ipad loses the wifi connection when I abandon my modem wireless of Qwest

    WiFi connections are losing their strength increases the distance between the router and so as a general rule, there are some conflicting objects

    Try the following steps please

    The following actions and after each test to see if the issue is resolved - if yes, then you can omit the following steps - I tried to list them in ascending order of the effort at least on a Mac and / or an iDevice

    1. Check if the problem is related to a single device and if other devices connect normally-
    2. If the answer 1 is 'yes' - try to connect the device assigned to somewhere else if possible - coffee or the University
    3. Perform a forced - restart cela do not delete or purge all data and allows to solve many problems - here is how - press and hold the Off / On Home button and at the same time for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Allow normal startup upward.
    4. Settings - WiFi - < network name > - Click on forget network - do a restart forced according to 3 and then add again the network
    5. If home - reboot the router by unplugging it for 60 seconds (power) and the plug and reconnect - obviously, this step can be done in a public place like a cafe or airport or University. While you're there - make sure your router is working on the latest firmware (check manufacturer's website)
    6. Settings - general - reset - Reset network settings - remember to have very practical WiFi passwords because it erases the WiFi passwords
    7. If it is a new specific net device in your home - make sure that the router gives enough DNS for all numbers which must / wants a connection - stuff like the printer, Chromecast get overlooked - ask for more details on this so not sure option
    8. Backup the device to iTunes - restore as NEW (no) - see if solves problem - if yes - restore backup
    9. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.
  • Reduction or enlargement of the layer effects

    This situation applies to typography, I've used in a logo design.

    The element type of key is great, and I faked the chrome effect I want.

    There are other items of type in this logo, but they are smaller (by about two-thirds). Using the ' copy / Paster layer Style ' will not give the same effect when applied to the smaller type (that's what I want).

    Here's the question:

    Is there a way to achieve the same effect (in this case to the chrome), regardless of the size of the characters?

    TIA

    You can adapt this way Layer Styles - layer > layer Style > scale Effects.This dimensionnera all styles on a layer, in percentage

    So hidden that most people would never know it was there. Should probaby be as a cursor proximity for this, but some of this stufff they never get round to.

  • How do I make the "REVERB" effect when you export the multitrack mixer?

    How do I make the "REVERB" effect when you export the multitrack mixer?

    The pre-rendered in multitrack view tool is the tilde to bit at the bottom of the effects rack lightning bolt.  Select the range that you have pre-made and click on the button that will turn blue when activated.

    Alternatively, you can go to the sight of waveform on the track, you need to pre render, apply the effect, and use the Save command as (with a new name) to save the new version and keep the original.  Less elegant than pre rendered but sometimes useful.

  • question on the layer effects and filters - Jews Becker

    Hello

    I have a question about the layer effects and filters

    first is there a way to layer effects in flash (as in photoshop 'coup' "outter glow" etc...)

    so it is a kind of plug-ins to special effects - perhaps with particles or pretty effects that I can buy

    Thank you very much!

    (as you may have guessed I'm very new at this and appreciate all the advice I can get!)

    -Jews Becker

    You won't find anything exactly like filters in Photoshop for use in Flash. There are filters in Flash. They are available at the bottom of the Properties window for an object MovieClip or button on the stage. Alternatively, you can apply and animate a filter in Actionscript. There is a good third-party developer, http://www.greensock.com, where you can find a few effects tools very useful. Most are free.

  • Why the layer effects do not work for the photos in Photoshop CC?

    Layer effects do not appear in Photoshop CC for the photos. They work very well for text, but not for any image. The layers in the image are unlocked, I've updated to Photoshop and I erased the preferences but still nothing. Any suggestions?

    Promote the selection into a new layer (Ctrl or Cmd + J to copy; CTRL or Cmd + Shift + J to cut), then try to apply the layer style.

  • 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.

  • Keep the layer names when describing the text

    I would like to know if there is a way to keep the names of the objects/layers of text when the text is converted to text outline, using scripts.

    I create files with dozens of text layers (player names on the back of the jerseys of sport) and send the .ai file to manufacturers. This means that I have to expose the text, but when I do, the layers all lose their names and everything becomes "< Group >.

    Can anyone think of a way of naming these layers with the text they contain?

    Hi openbracket,.

    It is impossible, if the text is underlined.

    But it is possible for the text and the outline of the text via script (don't forget that the selected text is only filled with no effects or stroke)

    You can try something like this:

    // required: an opened document with one selected text frame
    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var aSel = aDoc.selection;
    if (aSel[0].typename =="TextFrame") {
        if (aSel[0].characters.length < 40) {
        var newName = aSel[0].contents;
        } else {
        newName = aSel[0].contents.substr(0, 39);
        }
    aSel[0].createOutline();
    aSel = aDoc.selection;
    // name of the new Group = contents or part of contents of selected text frame
    aSel[0].name = newName;
    }

  • How to make an image/object move with edge of the layer effect another?

    Hello


    I'm doing a video presentation of Whiteboard.


    What I should really do is bind the sequence .png of the arm/hand to the effect of sequential race that I applied to the layer below, as to pretend that the hand movement draws this layer (which is actually a scanned hand drawing) after masks I created with the Auto route tool.

    Obviously, I need to find a way to do it to avoid creating keyframes for each unique hand (REALISTIC) movement.

    I train after effects CC 12.2. I have a composition of 'HAND' with 7 different .png goes on loop, stop motion such as; a composition where the edge effect is applied to the design and overall composition where I would like to merge the previous two.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?


    Thanks in advance

    It may be possible to copy & paste the masks of illustrator and join some of them in a continuous path, however, but otherwise he must get used to the fact that there is no automated for any solution. Some things just need a tedious manual work and it's one of those things...
