    Keep pen lines straight?

    Yes exactly. I usually put a guide down then my last point will snap but sometimes I forget, and these are very complex shapes so trying to line things up is sometimes wonky :) I don't even notice it until later when I print my design and am cutting out halves and realize they have some non...

    Keep pen lines straight?

    This is a really basic and stupid problem I am having. I am drawing shapes (complex shapes) with the pen tool. Usually toward then end when I reconnect I end up with a vertical or horizontal line that is not full straight (as in only completely vertical or horizontal, no angle). I know you can...

    Auto Arraange Text Layers (So they are not overlapping)

    I have 50 Text layers that are all on top of each other. I want to quickly stack them/space them out - but have not found a way to do this aside from just using move tool on each one to move it down. Is this possible? So just say I have 50 layers with text on them from 1-50 which currently is...

    Auto Name Group based on Layer Names?

    Is it possible to automatically name a Group based on layer name when you group it? Or a script that can do this. I need the groups to be named but I have about 500 named layers to group and don't want to have to type in the name 500 times.... Thanks :)

    Find stuff on layer through layers pane? (GoTo)

    I should have put that in my post. I know of the ways like turning on and off, or selecting all, or any of those tricks. But this document is 8k x 8k and has small elements on it so when I am zoomed out I cannot see them via those methods. I know I can hide all other layers also to find it, but...

    Find stuff on layer through layers pane? (GoTo)

    So is there a way to find the stuff that is on a layer through the layers pane? For instance so I have a huge document with TONS of stuff all over it, and I want to be able to click a layer be it images or text and then it will find that stuff on the artboard? Kind of like a reverse of what...

    Remove Layer Effects from Layer Panel (after effects have been disabled)?

    Sometimes you add effects to a layer, then you decide you don't need them. You can uncheck them or click the eyeball..but the effects always show in the layer list. This clutters things. Is there no way to "remove" them completely? Thanks in advance. (Edit: Oh my. I looked for a long time, of...

    Variable Troubles - Relative Path not importing

    I don't HAVE to use excel, the files come from Open Office originally and I load them in Excel and save to CSV. The problem has now come up again and I can't even seem to fix it. I can't use notpad though because there are like 10 columns. Maybe the problem happens when I load the Open doc...

    Variable Troubles - Relative Path not importing

    So I have huge datasets that have 10 or so variables. I use the same file for batching every data set and have had NO issues tonight so far. Now randomly when I import my CSV file just ONE of the images is not importing the relative path. Most of my variables are text but I have 3 images and 2...

    Batch Automation Issue with Large Batch due to Layer Names issue

    There's no transparency, although when I look close it looks like whoever cut these images maybe left some small edges..so maybe if I do action to create a new layer, place on bottom then merge it will save as background? I could do it the other way but it would just take a lot longer. Thanks...

    Batch Automation Issue with Large Batch due to Layer Names issue

    I have about 700 PNG images that I am batching, and about 75% of them the layer (there is only one layer in all files) is named "Background" but the other 25% it is named "Layer 0" The action I am using is looking for "Background" so the ones with "Layer 0" error out. I tried finding a way...

    Variables with Images - How to control position?

    Me again with another newb question :) I've setup a huge document that pulls in a lot of data from a CSV file, mostly text, however there are 3 or 4 images that are also pulled in. Text seems to pull in fine, and stay positioned where the variable item is pre-positioned, but the images...

    Pen Tool: Make Selection via Right Click not working

    Well I just took a screenshot, but then I forgot I had not restarted Photoshop and so tried that and it worked. Now I feel like an idiot :) Still not sure why PS goes wonky like that sometimes.

    Pen Tool: Make Selection via Right Click not working

    Did I type Pane? Lol. Sorry today I turned 38 and it's been a long week..not much sleep :) Yes Pen tool, and resetting was the first thing I tried. I used to have issues like this when memory was a problem (where things start acting wonky) but I have 16gb ram and this file isn't THAT large to...

    Pen Tool: Make Selection via Right Click not working

    I am not really a "newbie" but not a veteran either. I assume this problem is something VERY simple that I am overlooking. Never ran into this one before. Been working on a document for a few days, no issues but now suddenly when drawing paths with Pen tool, when I right click, make...
