Animation Window Is Bane Of Animation's Existance - A True Story

Hi gif smarties!

I am using the animation feature in Photoshop CS5. Im rotoscoping by tracing footage that has been imported to layers. The traced frames are on their own separate layers. Im keeping my workload, per file, to 60 frames (120 layers total). I tried to make a file that was 70 frames instead (140 layers). Now every time I open the animation window, the layers go crazy and the traced layers are moved, uncolored, and generally all weird and wrong. I tried copying the file and breaking it into 2 files of 35 frames each (70 layers) but the damage seems to be done. Opening the animation window screws with the frames. Is there a fix for this or do I simply have to keep files to <60 in the future?

halp halp!

Exporting Layers Separately

I have Photoshop CC and I loaded a PSD file into it with many layers.

Somebody created the PSD design for me.

I am trying to export all layers separately but when I go to Scripts >> Export Layers to Files, it kinda mixes a particular layer with all other layers.

So I can never get a layer on its own.

Have a look at one of these export below. The top shade should be on its own, but its accompanied by the bottom layer also. Every other file is also accompanied by the bottom layer. Any idea how I can just export all layers on their own?



Any suggestions?

Automation Question

Hi

I have a file with 760 layers plus a background that is a photo. The layers are rasterised smart layers from Illustrator

I have a task by which I have to have the background always visible. I then make the first layer visible as well as the background and then save for web and devices. Once one I turn that layer off and then turn the next layer on and then save for web and devices. 760 times Oh God!!!!

I know I can create an action and even a droplet from the action the issues I have is how do I tell the action to turn the first layer on and then optimize the resultant image and then turn that layer off and then move to the nest layer and so on through the 760 layers

Any ideas would be great

Thanks

Auto Blend Layers Stack Image Option In Photoshop 3

I have several images in different layer in PS3 ( macro images with different points of focus).
I have aligned all layers ok, but when trying to blend the layer (all layers selected) using the auto blend layers tools, the tool does not give me the stacked images button.
Instead it launches straight into the process.
The results are not what I am expecting, each layer bar one has a totally black mask, and the image is not a blend of all the images.
All tutorials for the process using CS3 show a button for selecting "stack images" mine doesn't.
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help as I am going mad with it



Question On Copying Part Of A Layer Fx

I had a situation earlier where I had about 50 layers, each with there own specific layer fx, but then I wanted to add a color outline to all of them.

Now, because the other fx are all different, is there a way I can just copy the stroke to all layers, instead of entering every layer, one by one, & setting it manually.

Collapse Layers With Mask

Thanks!

Merging Layer Styles Not Working As Expected

Hi folks, newbie to the board. I'm using Photoshop CS6 and have hit an issue that I can't get to the bottom of and was hoping someone could help.

I've completed an image for a client. The original involves many layers, and I have got to the point when I want to merge everything down into a PDF for them to send to their printers.

Problem I am having is that when I try to directly save as a PDF or merge down the layers in a copy of my main PSD file, I am losing certain layer styles.

I have tried creating a blank layer below an offending layer and hitting CTRL + E, I have tried creating a blank layer, hiding all but the offending layer and blank layer and merging visible, I have tried Layer - Rasterize Layer Style, I have tried turning the layer into a smart object and then rasterizing (I lost the layer style as soon as I turned it into a smart object, even though it is still present in the smart object itself), and I have tried turning the layer into a group and merging the group. I have also tried saving the file in a number of different formats to no avail. I don't know what else I can try and why none of this has worked! I've also tried right clicking on the FX in the layer palette and chosen "Create Layers" at which point I get a dialog: "Some aspects of the effects cannot be reproduced with layers", and I get the same result. Most noticeable style that disappears is the drop shadow.

Weird thing is this isn't the case for every layer. I've particularly noticed it happens on text layers that have been text warped. However I've tried rasterizing them before trying to merge and that hasn't helped so I can't see how that is the problem.

I hope someone can help, I am totally stumped. If it makes a difference the mode is CMYK Color, 8 bit.

Converting Image To 3 Layers For Silk-screening

Hello! I'm making a poster for silk-screening. Each color needs to be on a separate layer so that each color can be hand-printed one at a time. Foolishly, I did not draw the colors on separate layers. I need a layer for the white outline, a layer for the purple, and the remaining layer the black (which will just be the color of the paper for those familiar with silk-screening). Posterizing doesn't seem to work, and selecting color range doesn't seem to nail it exactly either. I would greatly appreciate any help.

I am attaching the PSD file. Please do not reproduce this image (though i don't know why anyone would!)

Eyedropper

Hi, I have a doubt about eyedropper. I work with a lot of layers, and sometimes I want to pick the "All Layers" color, and others only the color in the current layer...

I have seen here http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2012/06/the-eyedropper-tool-additional-sample-options-in-photoshop-cs6.html that CS6 can do the job, but I don't find the way to do it (And I have googled a lot).

Thanks folks!!!

Saving Parameters Of Rotations And Translations Of Layers

Hello,
I have a quite specific question about the use of Photoshop.

I wish to import a stack of images as layers in a Photoshop file. Then I wish to apply a certain rotation and translation on each of these layers (so no rescaling operation, only rotation and translations).

My question is the following. How can I somehow "save" the parameters of each translation and rotation for each layer so I can apply them on another stack of images later on? Basically, I wish to save the "Transformation matrix" for each layer and then be able to reapply it to another stack of images.

I thought of doing scripts and saving each operation, but I really need to be flexible and be able to go back to my primary stack of images and re-rotate or re-translate them later on if necessary, and resave the "transformation matrix".

Thank you in advance for your help and your time

Best,
Julia
