Lost photo

$

I have am trying to recover a photo in Lr 6 classic.  I have date, time, camera, lens data on the shot.  I can bring it up as a TIF, but it only has 6.1 MBs which is not suitable for a large print. Can't find the original CF card but can bring up shots taken at same shoot in a normal TIF file of 400+MBs.  I shoot in CR2. Use Mac OS 10.13.

 

How can I retirevie the shot?

Timeline Sequence Gone After Exporting

$
0
0

This might be a really stupid question, but I'm still getting used to Premiere after being out of video production for a while...

 

I created a new project, imported all the clips I shot (I used two cameras), assembled and edited all the clips from my main camera, then assembled all the B-roll shots on a different track so I could sync them. The color and lighting were different on the two cameras, so I cut all the clips from my main camera and pasted them into a new timeline/sequence so I could export them as a single file then import that file to a new sequence so I could color correct the entire sequence at once. Now I need to make some changes in that timeline but it seems to be gone. I can use the imported file but then I'll need to cut it up again...I'd rather go back to the first timeline and make the edits there then re-export it to fix the color.

 

If I try to reopen the sequence, all I get is the single file timeline. Does this make sense?

 

Can anyone tell me what might be happening or how I can get that original sequence back? I'm using Premiere Pro 12.1.2 Build 69 on a 2017 5k retina 27" iMac with 32GBs RAM.

 

Thank you,

Lloyd

How to retain top layer group style when turning sublayers into separate top layers

$
0
0

I have a logo that needs 12 separate top layers for animation in AE.

 

Currently, the logo consists of 2 top layer groups that each hold 12 sub-layers, for a total of 24 sub-layers.  Each top layer has a style applied that evenly distributes over its 12 child sub-layers (one top layer group style is a gradient, the other top layer group effect is a SVG blur).

 

I need to pair the 24 sub-layers from each group to make 12 separate top layers (one gradient sub-layer pairs with one blur sub-layer).  What I can't figure out is how to retain the distribution style that the current top layer groups provide as I pair sub-layers & make them 12 separate top layers.

 

When I try, I lose my current top layer group style.  If I reapply the gradient to the new top layer, the distribution of the gradient is now focused on new top layer's artwork.  I need it to retain the distribution style it had when it was a sub-layer.

 

I hope I explained this well enough & someone knows how?  Or knows a better way to accomplish this?

clickTAG working in test, not working on publish.

I have made a banner ad in HTML 5 with a clickTAG on a button. When I run a test inside of Animate, the button works fine. When I publish the button doesn't work. I am very new to Animate and have spent half the day combing forums and YouTube to no avail.

 

Here is the clickTAG code

 

this.clickTAG.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_4);

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_4() {

window.open("https://bottomlounge.com/events", "_blank");

AE crashes upon startup

Hello everybody,

 

I'm having trouble making my After Effect trial version work -.-

 

As soon as I open the app from the CC, the loading window starts and after a few seconds another window opens saying that the app has crashed with the option of sending a crash report to Adobe. 

 

Is there anyway I can post a crash report in this forum for further trouble shooting?

 

P.S.: Already watched dozens of Youtube HowTo's but nothing has worked so far. Very frustrating...

 

Thanks for your answers!

Copy Paste w/ Inconsistent Results

$
0
0

I'm a relatively new user so forgive me if I get some of the terminology wrong.

 

I'm working in a single file and creating multiple iterations while exploring a design.  To keep the file organized, I'm copying layers onto fresh artboards with each iteration. However one layer in particular isn't maintaining the structure of it's sub-layers (while all the others work just fine), resulting in broken clipping masks among other problems. "Paste Remembers Layers" is unchecked so that's not the issue.

 

Screencap of me copying, the green layers are the structure I expect to replicate on the next artboard:

Screenshot_1.png

Screencap of me pasting the results.  Right away we see the clipping masks are broken, and the sub-layers are no longer structured as they were. Comparatively, this does not occur when copying and pasting Jelly or the button. Also worth pointing out that the new layer is suddenly marked with an underline as though it were a clipping mask:

Screenshot_2.png

My first solution was to avoid this be duplicating artboards entirely using the Artboard panel, but that creates a whole mess of duplicate objects within the layers themselves and also breaks , rather than creating new / duplicate layers, so I'm not exploring that as an option at the moment (though I'll take any advice on that front as well - this feature seems woefully broken to me to the point that I assume I've missed something).

Screenshot_3.png

To recap:

  1. How can I get the copy and paste to work on "ninja" like it does on "jelly" and the button layers.
  2. The duplicate artboard feature seems either broken or just a terrible UX by default, is there something I'm missing to make it a true duplicate?

Hi I just downloaded acrobat reader on my ipad. When I open reader and try to connect to google drive (locations->more locations), there is no option to connect to google drive. Forum searches basically refer to selecting google drive from "more locations" in the reader app. All I have in Locations is On This Ipad, Document Cloud, DropBox. Selecting More Locations only gives me ICloud Drive. Google drive is up to date. Any suggestions?

How to Fade Edges of Image... Seriously!?

$

Hi Photoshop community,

 

I feel really annoyed and stupid.  I cannot fade the edges of an image to save my life!

 

I have been searching through the forums and use cases yet everything is extremely complicated and ineffective.

 

This seems like such an easy task.  I want to fade the edges of my images all at the same standard, while keeping the image shape (in this case a square).


can someone provide me a how to to create images like this...

 

I did this in word (sadly):

2018-01-29 17_17_46-Brochure - Print V1.0 (Last saved by user) - Word.png

My Goal:

Create a square shape with the proper feather edges and then layer mask each image I want to fade in, so that I can produce these type of images (in single serving) rapid fire.

 

Can someone PLEASE explain to me how to properly feather edges in photoshop?

 

This has been my Achilles heel.

 

Thank you very much for the support!

Elements 11 [not working on new Mac laptop]

Hello, I am posted on behalf of my grandmother who is having trouble with Elements 11.  She has been using the program for a while and isn't terribly interested in upgrading to the 2019 version as she has read that it doesn't have all the features that 11 has.  Recently, she purchased a new Mac lap top.  Since the purchase, elements 11 has not been working on her new or old lap tops.  When opening the program it automatically opens to the bottom right corner of the screen and when moved shuts down. It gives a very long error text.

 

Any help here would be appreciated.  I am not well versed on Mac systems or with the Elements program.  I can provide the error message if needed.

I have a 19page PDF in table format. The paid PDF to excel export is working quite well on the first 15 pages, but then it just stops and will not do more pages.

 

Is there a way to make it complete all available pages, or do I need to split the PDF up into 15page segments and then export to Excel?

 

Thank you in advance!

Script Timeout?

Im seeing a strange issue with this script.  When selecting more than 75 or so of images, the script appears to simply stall out.  It fails to process any of the images nor replace the smart object with any of the selected images.  very strange.

 

any ideas on what is causing this behavior?

 

// replace smart object’s content and save psd;

// 2011, use it at your own risk;

#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length > 0) {

    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

    var theName = myDocument.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];

    var thePath = myDocument.path;

    var theLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;

    // psd options;

    psdOpts = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();

    psdOpts.embedColorProfile = true;

    psdOpts.alphaChannels = true;

    psdOpts.layers = true;

    psdOpts.spotColors = true;

    // check if layer is smart object;

    if (theLayer.kind != "LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT") {

        alert("selected layer is not a smart object")

    } else {

        // select files;

        if ($.os.search(/windows/i) != -1) {

            var theFiles = File.openDialog("please select files", "*.psd;*.tif;*.jpg", true)

        } else {

            var theFiles = File.openDialog("please select files", getFiles, true)

        };

        if (theFiles) {

            // work through the array;

            for (var m = 0; m < theFiles.length; m++) {

                // replace smart object;

                theLayer = replaceContents(theFiles[m], theLayer);

                var theNewName = theFiles[m].name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];

                //save jpg;

                var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();

                jpegOptions.quality = 10;

                jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;

                jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;

                myDocument.saveAs((new File(thePath + "/" + theNewName + ".jpg")), jpegOptions, true);

            }

        }

    }

};

////// get psds, tifs and jpgs from files //////

function getFiles(theFile) {

    if (theFile.name.match(/\.(psd|tif|jpg)$/i) != null || theFile.constructor.name == "Folder") {

        return true

    };

};

////// replace contents //////

function replaceContents(newFile, theSO) {

    app.activeDocument.activeLayer = theSO;

    // =======================================================

    var idplacedLayerReplaceContents = stringIDToTypeID("placedLayerReplaceContents");

    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var idnull = charIDToTypeID("null");

    desc3.putPath(idnull, new File(newFile));

    var idPgNm = charIDToTypeID("PgNm");

    desc3.putInteger(idPgNm, 1);

    executeAction(idplacedLayerReplaceContents, desc3, DialogModes.NO);

    return app.activeDocument.activeLayer

};

Unclickable Xrefs

In the body text of one document I refer to a figure on the same page, using language something like this:  See Figure 10 below.

 

However, I don't want to enter the figure number in the body text because the actual number might change in the future.  So it makes sense to use a variable for the number.  Normally I'd use a cross reference for this, but that would make the variable a clickable link.  Since the image is on the same page, I don't need (or want) the variable to be clickable.  I just want the number to update automagically.

 

Is there a way to accomplish this in Frame?

 

Thanks!

"The document “photoshop_reference.pdf” could not be exported as “photoshop_reference.pdf”. You don’t have permission.

To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."

 

Since I was not permitted to Download, I could not locate the file in the Finder. I went to security panel, but the option did not appear.
