In Design I have this text NÁUŠNICE Its written in lowercase so I can of course toggle the All Caps button. When you write in Caps there is no need to show the accents (at least this is what i remember from my Spanish lessons). Not is there a way to toggle the accents off? Matt

Reluctantly its not happening in Sierra. At least on initial tests. Previously it was an issue that got progressively worse. Although a good thing as it may not be hardware issue. However I still need to stay on El Capitan. What I shall try and do is go back to the initial versions of OS X 10.11 and then upgrade till it happens. Or it could all be part of a clean install.

Indeed However as I mentioned in the post, They did recommend updating to Sierra but that I am reluctant to do as I have other software that relies on 10.11.6 > Latest (should have said latest Indesign) > OSX 10.11.6 will try an update to El sierra, at least to rule out the issue. Will keep you posted.

Hi I am having a few issues where my colours go wrong in Indesign. When I change a box the colour changes (notable the hue of red shifts), if i then open a new document and return back its goes adjust again or press W to change the screen view it comes back. When I output as a PDF there are no issues. In Photoshop when working an image rectangles appear over the image. Here are a couple of screen recordings InDesign Photoshop Imac Retina 5K 27 late 2015, 4.0Ghz i7 32GB Ram AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4096mb (one screen connect and 2 happens in both and in various resolutions) What have I done so far both are now on the latest versions of Photoshop and Indesign, They have been reinstalled to reset the settings etc. I have contacted apple support as to me it looks like a graphic card issue. They said to reset SMC and NVRAM, they have been done. They did recommend updating to Sierra but that I am reluctant to do as I have other software that relies on 10.11.6 After trialling those mentioned above they said to ask adobe, I thought i'd bring it to the forums to get advice.

I had a look in the code and this is the area I believe the transform takes place. I tried to sandwich the line in after line 11 var idLnkd = charIDToTypeID( "Lnkd" ); desc59.putBoolean( idLnkd, true ); // keep aspect ratio But the that ddin't work for me and caused the script to stop wrk (no specific error as it is running from within photoshop ) Thanks Matt Stdlib.userGoToFreeTransform = function(doc, layer) { function _ftn() { function preMove() { var desc = new ActionDescriptor(); var lref = new ActionReference(); lref.putEnumerated(cTID("Lyr "), cTID("Ordn"), cTID("Trgt")); desc.putReference(cTID("null"), lref); desc.putEnumerated(cTID("FTcs"), cTID("QCSt"), cTID("Qcsa")); var desc75 = new ActionDescriptor(); desc75.putUnitDouble( cTID('Hrzn'), cTID('#Pxl'), 1.000000 ); desc75.putUnitDouble( cTID('Vrtc'), cTID('#Pxl'), 1.000000 ); desc.putObject( cTID('Ofst'), cTID('Ofst'), desc75 ); executeAction(cTID("Trnf"), desc, DialogModes.NO); } function retPostMoveDesc() { var desc = new ActionDescriptor(); var lref = new ActionReference(); lref.putEnumerated(cTID("Lyr "), cTID("Ordn"), cTID("Trgt")); desc.putReference(cTID("null"), lref); desc.putEnumerated(cTID("FTcs"), cTID("QCSt"), cTID("Qcsa")); var desc75 = new ActionDescriptor(); desc75.putUnitDouble( cTID('Hrzn'), cTID('#Pxl'), -1.000000 ); desc75.putUnitDouble( cTID('Vrtc'), cTID('#Pxl'), -1.000000 ); desc.putObject( cTID('Ofst'), cTID('Ofst'), desc75 ); return desc; } var state = true; preMove(); var lvl = $.level; $.level = 0; try { executeAction(cTID("Trnf"), retPostMoveDesc(), DialogModes.ALL);///ALL } catch (e) { state = false; if (e.number != 8007) { // if not "User cancelled" throw e; } executeAction(cTID("Trnf"), retPostMoveDesc(), DialogModes.NO); } finally { $.level = lvl; } return state; } return Stdlib.wrapLCLayer(doc, layer, _ftn) }

This doesn't allow a custom overlay. True everything in the old script is in the CC however I said I managed to alter the code for a custom overlay. I need to move the anchor point to the centre of my cross but, by default and lock the aspect ratio.

Hi I have downloaded this script. Golden Crop for Photoshop - FAQ And I have been able to alter the script for my own overlay. Its quite an in depth script but super useful. I have a few more changes that I would like to put in place. prior to the crop make the canvas fit the ratio of 2:3 and expand where required. When you transform the crop mask I would like the width and height linked. (fixed ratio) I think it can be found around line 2123 (I'm guessing this is where I might need to be place it. Can the transforms anchor point be changed to a specific location? That point would be x=(w/2), y=(131/408)*h Where w and h are the original dimensions. Also with the last menus prompts 'Canvas extension detected' can this be default to and choose Crop style be defaulted to [1] so that there are less prompts. A lot to ask, but I am not too familiar with the photoshop script more with applescript. Many Thanks Matt

Sorry I have finally got to look at this and I quite like it, although I would like to be able to put my own guides/overlay, any idea how I might do this in the code? Had a look but the they have spent along time complying it. Thanks Matt

I've been looking at this, I think this isn't what I am looking for. As the page sizes remain the same throughout. I was thinking that If I have an image as a portrait when I then drag a Master over that page it would then apply that image to the new place holder, instead it over lays another placeholder, with the old image remain. Another example is in lightroom books. Please see the video here

Unless I am misunderstanding you the page doesn't change size just the orientation of the placeholders

Again I am sure I am going the wrong way about this. I shall attempt to explain. I have 2 image placeholders that are horizontal as a master. When I then use this page to insert the relevant images, I have them displayed as I would like. Now if later I wished to change the orientation or layout I thought I could have another master page that I could then place over the page to update it, I realise positioning of the images might be wrong, but it would stop me from placing the images back in after. I Presume the boxes would need to be linked some how?

I must still be doing something wrong. I'm on version CC 2017 on a mac. I can lock it exactly as it says above, when I get to the document page I have then selected Override All Master Page items, I can see that it is editable (--- to a solid line) and it is locked. But nothing can be pasted in to the placeholder. It only places it self where I click so above the place holder. Also I thought I could detach an item from the master rather than all of the master page by click cmd+ shift and click but, this does nothing.

I'm sure this is super basic, but I have tried to search this answer but come up with nothing, I am possible looking up the wrong terms. I want to create a master page with a placeholder that its position is locked, so that when used I can drop an image in its place and the image can be moved but the frame fixed. So dimensions and place on the document cannot be moved or altered only the actual image can be adjusted. Many Thanks Matt

I'm just trying out the script inlineMerge (is thats what you meant). And it partly works. I don't get the dropdown menu when it runs, just an area to type and by default has ^p as an option (new paragraph) . So at the moment I get a line displayed.

In Fairness I think i might be going about this the wrong way. I think the list side of things is fine, Although what you provided is helpful. I was trying to produce a hierarchy tree that could be a web page so and therefore easier to refresh through InDesign? (I think) I'm not convinced that I will be able to achieve the layout I expect via InDesign. I'm not sure how to populate something like this.

Hi I'm just experimenting with the data merge and it works well. However is there a method to reverse look up, by this I mean. If the csv file looks like this. Position, Name, Year started, @picture Director 1, Mr Big, 1992,big.jpg Managing Director, Ms Bigger, 2012,b.jpg So I can set up a picture and have it look up the "Managing Director" details? I think from what I have searched, data merge is limited so is there another program that I should be using? Many Thanks

Yes I tried a delay, I added 10 seconds then 30 and it stalls on that first image. I just tried adopting your version of the code and again first one doesn't process and the rest do.
