    Centreing Layers in PS

    Victoria I had that brainwave last night. Believe it or not, it does exactly the same as the X & Y co-ord's when recorded as an action. The distance it moves towards the center is recorded, not the position to which it moves....Crazy! Thanks for posting though. Will have to keep working on...

    Centreing Layers in PS

    Is there a way of centreing a layer without using the X & Y co-ord?s. I want to record an action that includes the layer being centred. The X & Y co-ord?s don't record as I would expect. The action records the distance a layer moves in the X & Y directions, rather than its X & Y position...

    Ps & Xara X users ?

    Thanks Welles. Will try at a more suitable forum. Can't find anything on the Xara site to confirm Sark

    Ps & Xara X users ?

    Thanks for replying. One other question. Does Xara X have an "Actions" equivilent that could batch export layers as individual files? Just looking for a quick way of getting a lot of layers into PS from a vector app (other than AI) Thanks again Sark

    Hi all. Can Xara X export psd files with layers intact, so that the layers remain when opening in PS. Thanks Sark

    photoshop error when saving

    tomasz...When I first read this I assumed you had used the Purge function but, reading - "Closing and reopening seemed to release enough memory to save it." - suggests maybe not. You may not be aware that PS can purge memory via Edit/Purge/All. You don't have to purge everything but, if...

    My Pictures (Want to display PSD files)

    Eric... Not sure it called the "show filmstrip" option in Win 2K, but it is basically the same. The My Pictures folders shows a small thumbnail image of all files. There is also a preview window in the bottom left corner that shows a larger preview of the currently selected icon/thumbnail. Mine...

    My Pictures (Want to display PSD files)

    chillman That would be great, but just to clarify. I get a thumbnail, but not a larger preview in the preview window. Sark

    Merging Layers

    JoeD, Moltas Thanks for the replies, but I was really trying to find a quick way of making a "merged copy" of a number of layers. I've now discovered a method, using an action, that suits my needs. After linking the layers, I create a "New layer set from linked". I then "Duplicate layer...

    Merging Layers

    Hi all. What is the best way of making a merged copy of a number of layers? I know the Alt/Ctrl/Shft/E shortcut, but this requires turning evertything off except the layers to be merged. In a large doc with some layers already turned off, turning everything on and off quickly is not always...

    Layers and sections

    jc1 Maybe Welles has answered your first question but, if you are just making selections of parts of a layer, you can select the Move tool and drag the contents of that selection anywhere in the layer. This method cuts the selection contents from the layer. If you hold the Alt key when...

    Layers and sections

    You can capture the entire screen via Windows. Just press the Print Scrn key (next to F12). This copies the image to the clipboard. When you create a new document in PS, it will automatically be the same size as the captured image, just paste in and crop accordingly. Sark

    Digital 'vs' Traditional?

    Lee Does your 10D produce a sharp image? I'm looking to buy a digi SLR soon and have been looking at the Nikon D70. My only issue with this camera is its plastic body and huge size. The Canon 20D is out of my price range, but the 10D is now a reasonable option. My only concern with the...

    Transform Property Bar issues

    JoeD Well at least I know I'm not going mad now. The problem was on PS6 and now PS7, which is why I wondered if it was my system. I mostly get 1px error, but if you try scaling a shape other than a simple rectangle, it can be quite considerable. Like you have discovered, if you...

    Transform Property Bar issues

    Klaatu Baradda Nikto This problem occurs even when the Info palette and Transform bar is set to the same Pixel units. It is most noticable when scaling anything other than a simple rectangle. I guess this is just something to do with my system. I'll just have to get used to looking at the...

    Transform Property Bar issues

    the Keeper Firstly, the pixels back to % issue is one I've had. I figured out that when you type in the H box in pixels, as soon as you type in the W box, the H box reverts back to % (or vice versa). The solution to this is to always use the px suffix after typing a figure. This is daft...

    Please help this noob!

    It may be to do with your Color preferences. Go into Edit/Color Preferences and select a different RGB color profile. Which profile you choose depends on a number of factors. My own system uses my printer color profile because this is my primary output. Web developers will use a different...

    Transform Property Bar issues

    Welles & theKeeper Constrained proportions is not turned on. The sizes I gave where just approx to give an idea of the increase I was applying. I'm pretty sure "Snap to" is not enabled, but will double check tonight. The objects size changes according to the settings I use, but when I...

    Cutting rounded rectangle shape from photo

    JoeD & mflinter Yes I agree. Clipping paths are preferable, hence the link to a clipping path tute. I know nothing of web development, so a request on how to cut out the exact shape, may have been important in this case. And I still say it's a Shape tool in "path" mode...So there 8D...
