Thank you. After installing PS Elements, I find it is a crippled version of PS, not real PS. So I have to continue use the subscription-based PS, though it is much more expensive and has no perpetual license.

Thank you very much. Actually I download FoxIt Reader and try by myself. Your solution works perfectly. But at that time your last post does not exist, so I mark your previous post as a correct answer. Now I have marked your latest one as the correct answer.

Not sure. I get the file from a friend. Below is what she said about the file: "No idea how the file became corrupted. It was downloaded from a data service, scribd.com. Files on there are uploaded by many members."

Hi, When I try to open a PDF file at https://www.dropbox.com/s/yrcdx5aawb3plgs/Ya-Gotta-Try-Nestico.pdf?dl=0 , I will always get "Insufficient data for an image" error. I try to search online and find some similart posts, such as https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/insufficient-data-for-an-image/td-p/9691197 and https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader/insufficient-data-for-image/td-p/4334063 But the solutions for these posts do not work for my case. I am using the latest version of Acrobat Reader(2020.009.20067).

Hi, Currently I am using Photoshop 2020 in Creative Cloud Plan. It works under my Windows 7(64bit) without any problems. However, I think the plan is pricy and I want to switch to a perpetual license instead of a subscrption. So I contact Adobe and the support told me that I can purchase Photoshop Elements 2020. But to my surprise, Photoshop Elements 2020 does not support Windows 7. So my question is: 1. Why the latest version(Photoshop 2020) in subscription plan supports Windows 7 but the Photoshop Elements 2020 does not. 2. Is there a version of Photoshop Elements that supports Windows 7 and I can purcahse? Thanks

Hi, Stephen_A_Marsh, Thank you for your reply. Then is it possible to batch export multiple files from PSD to PNG? It is really inconvenient to save many files into PNG one by one if no script can be used.

Hi, I have a Photoshop file at https://www.dropbox.com/s/0kr95lj5o43brze/daccr.psd?dl=0 When export it as PNG, using "File" -> "Export" -> "Quick Export as PNG-8", I will get a PNG of 16.7k. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xfrhmub6moj98q/daccr%28quick-export%29.png?dl=0 When using "File" -> "Export" -> "Export As" and set the output format as PNG and check "Smaller File(8-bit)", I will get the same result. However, when I using the following script to export the file into PNG format, var BoxshotFile = File("E:\\daccr.psd"); var BoxshotDoc = app.open(BoxshotFile); SaveForWebAsPNG (BoxshotDoc, "E:\\daccr(script).png", 100); // Save the PSD file BoxshotDoc.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES); BoxshotFile.close(); function SaveForWebAsPNG(doc, filename, quality) { var outFile = new File(filename); if (outFile.exists) { outFile.remove(); } var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb(); sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG; sfwOptions.PNG8 = true; sfwOptions.transparency = true; sfwOptions.quality = quality; doc.exportDocument (outFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions); } I will get a PNG file of size 21 kb. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/kucn5q97324icjq/daccr%28script%29.png?dl=0 Why the GUI operation and script will produce difference results?

Hi, I have a boxshot at https://www.dropbox.com/s/9t0zj4zlx37j62a/dfsp.psd?dl=0 . I want to try to get the box and trim all unwanted pixels around the box, including the shadow below the box. I have tried the following methods: 1. Remove the White background. Then use "Trim" -> Transparent Pixels. But this will not trim a lot. There are still many around the box, though I cannot see them. 2. I enable snap and try to select the box only via snap, but it seems that the selection will not be able to auto-snap to the corner of the box, which makes the selection very difficult. Therefore, I just wonder if there is a good method to select such a box and trim the unwanted pixels aound it. Thank you very much

Hi, @JJMack, Your strategy works for the following cases: 1. Align one or more layers with the carvas. Just Use select All, and then align the layers with the selection. 2. Align layers with the canvas corners. However, currently there are two layers above the canvas. And I need to align one with the other. Therefore, I need to accurately set the active selection to the latter layer, so that I can apply "Align to Selection". Now I cannot find a way to accurately set the active selection to a specific layer. I can drag a selection on the layer manually, but that may not be border of the layer accurately.

Hi, JJMack, Thank you for the solution. Now my problem is how to create a selection for a specific layer. It is possible to select a layer by clicking the layer in the "Layers" window, but that will not automatically set the selection to the box of the layer. If I make the selection manually, then that is not accurate.

Hi, I try to figure out how to align two layers, groups or objects in Photoshop. Below is what I try to do: 1. Select the first layer, group or object. 2. Press Ctrl and select the second layer, group or object. Click the "align right edges" or "align left edges" to align the layer, group or object. My purpose is to align the second one to the first one. However, the problem is that sometimes the second one will be aligned with the first one. But sometimes the situation is reversed, the first one will be aligned with the second one. And that seems to run in a random way. Which makes a real headache to me.

Hi, Ged, Thank you very much. I find the trick. That is, one must double-click the "T", after that, the box border will become dashed lines. In such a mode, when resizing the box, the texts will not be resized. Originally I just click the "T", in such a case, the box border is solid lines. In such a mode, when resizing the box, the texts will be resized.

Hi, How can I resize the text box without resizing the texts inside it? I search on Google and find the following article: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/42095/photoshop-how-to-resize-a-text-box-without-distorting-the-actual… However, I check the text layer in my PSD file, and there is only a "Type" -> "Convert to Point Text" menu item for it, which means it is already a "Paragraph text". But when I try to resize it, the resize will still cause the texts inside it distorted again. Why? My file can be downloaded from: Dropbox - Problem2.psd - Simplify your life

Hi, I have a layer in my PSD file. The layer has some effects, such as "Inner Shadow" and "Gradient Overlay" etc. Now I want to grab a block from the layer, therefore, I try to add a layer mask on the layer. However, I find the layer mask not only pick out the block I want, but also move the shadow all inside the block, which is not desired. How to prevent this?

Hi, Thanks to all of you. Dave's solution is the best one. And I solve the problem by asking the designer to resend the source PSD file and find the background layer, then adjust the borders like Dave's suggestion. As for how to increase the width of the shadow, it is a bit complex to me. And the background layer in the source PSD has enough width for me, so I just adopt it. Thanks again for all your helps.

@davescm That's a great method. Then is it possible to increase the width for all borders. Currently I try to increase the size of the "Innser Glow" to 250px but it still not wide enough. I want to increase more. How to do so?

Hi, I get a .PSD file from a designer, at Dropbox - Question2.psd - Simplify your life In the PSD file, in the upper part, there is a section with a light blue background. The background layer is called 'bg' layer in the "Hero" folder. I try to change the color of the background layer, by select 'bg' layer, then click "Edit" -> "Fill" in order to fill the layer with a specific color. However, I find "Fill" menu item is always disabled. Why? Thanks

davescm​ Thank you very much for your help. Is there a way to increase the width of the shadow in bottom? I check the original background, it seems that the shadow in bottom is much more wider than that in the top. I try to increase the size of inner glow to 250 px but seems still now wider enough. Thank you.

The designer first design with PS, then they will implement the graphic with HTML & CSS. Currently we are still in the design stage so this is still a graphic.

Hi, I hire a webdesign company to design a website. The designer implement the homepage. I cut the header part of the page, as below: In the upper section, the background is using a very light blue. And I can notice the color in the border is deeper than those in the center. I ask the designer how to implement such a feature, but it seems that the designer cannot understand me very well. After several communications back and forth, I give up and decide to ask on the PS forum. Can anyone tell me how to implement such a background? Is it using "Inner Shadow" effect or "Gradient Overlay" or other effects? Thank you very much. !
