Thanks again - this probably won't work though. When I double-clicked on the smart object, it opened up a new document with only the Hue/Sat and brush strokes layers available. The "yellow circle" layer doesn't get carried over to this new document. I'm working on a live canvas-style painting (using chalk/pastel brushes, mixer brushes, etc) so I wouldn't be able to jump back and forth between smart objects all the time. Can I go back to the original idea and find a way to use the clipping layer method instead? The problem is, the top layer clips to the middle layer *and* the bottom layer as well. Can I somehow clip the top layer *only* to the middle layer, and then clip the middle layer *only* to the bottom layer? (sorry for the confusion) ... View more

Thanks Dave! But how do i do this: Make the Brush strokes and Hue/Sat a smart object. Then change the blending mode of the smart object to Hard Light and clip the smart object to the Hue/Sat layer I can't figure out how to do that - also, can I paint on a smart object layer?     ... View more

Thank you Mylenium. I do appreciate the help. This is a little complicated so bare with me. This might be painful lol: Your suggestion to use a hue/value adjustment layer on top works! It's perfect. But there's one last hurdle. Let me try to explain this: On the bottom layer I have painted a solid circle with a hard brush, using a yellow color. The layer above is set to Hard Light. Now when I paint on this layer, it adds highlights or shadows to the yellow circle beneath, and the intensity of those shadows/highlights depends on the value of the color I am using. Using grayscale colors(shades) work perfect for this. But if I use anything other than grayscale colors (i.e. any other color), then the shadows/highlights that I am painting become saturated with color - not what I want. So, I want to restrict this hard Light layer to grayscale only when painting on it, so that even if I paint with colors on it, it forces those colors to completely desaturate and become grayscale only.  So, your trick worked - above the Hard Light layer, I added a Hue/Sat adjustment layer, and pulled the saturation slider all the way to the left - and it works. So I now have 3 layers in total. The bottom is the solid color, the middle is the Hard Light layer for painting highlights/shadows, and then the top layer which is the adjustment layer which forces the Hard Light layer to be desaturated. Perfect. Here's the problem: I need the the shadows/highlights to be clipped to the bottom layer (yellow circle). So, I added a clip to the two top layers and the clipping works, but the yellow circle on the bottom is now desaturated - no color shows through.  The problem here is within the clipping masks, but I don't know how to solve this. I know there are other ways to do this very easily, but for the time being I need to go this route (I'll explain later). Still with me? Thanks! Is there a way to do this? ... View more

excellent, thank you!! The HEX code works now. "Getting the name of the current brush preset" still doesn't work though, but it's okay as I don't really need it at all.

Hi r-bin, great script! It will be useful. But the same old Adobe problem exists: 1. select a tool preset 2. change the size of the brush 3. now run the script - it doesn't work. This is an Adobe problem that I mentioned years ago: When you select a tool preset from the tool presets panel, it 'highlights' in blue (or whatever color your operating system uses when you make a selection). This is so you can keep track of what tool preset you're on. But when you change the brush size, the 'highlight' disappears. And now we don't know what preset we're on anymore. Also, your script doesn't work either. *Edit- I'm still using CC2014. Have they fixed this in newer versions? ... View more

Got it working. Here's what I did, in case anyone else out there ever runs into the same problem: I installed an older version of the Wacom drivers (6.3.10w2). (I didn't uninstall the newer ones, I just installed the older ones ontop of the latest ones already installed on my system).  Once installed, all tablets on my system stopped working (Cintiq27, Intuos4). Then, restarted the system. After reboot, all tablets still did not work. So, I re-installed the latest ones. (Again, I didn't uninstall anything). Then, re-booted again. This time, the tablets worked, and I had to re-calibrate. After that, pen rotation worked. A very strange run around here, but it worked. Anyone else who experiences problems with pen rotation, tilt or sensitivity might want to try this routine to see if it works for them. ... View more

It can be done with AutoHotKey, infact it is a common request. You wouldn't believe the power AHK gives to Photoshop. And no I am not associated with it in any way, I've just come to realise over the years that it can indeed supercharge Photoshop with everything it does.

this works! Thanks, SuperMerlin!! And thanks to pixxel schubser and r-bin as well this will be a very useful script to switch documents in Photoshop. Right now I hate clicking on the tabs to change documents. There should be a "list", or a document panel or something which would make it much faster to find the document you want to switch to. This script will be the first step in designing a listview of all documents. Kind of like clicking on the "Window" menu in Photoshop, then scrolling down to the document you want - but that's a hassle too. There needs to be a panel or something with a list of all documents that is visible at all times, sort of like the layers panel. ... View more
