You should be able to drag the image from Adobe Bridge. Make Bridge window smaller or display it side by side then drag the photo onto application/page where you want to insert image. I am trying with Gmail open in Chrome and everything works just fine.

You can record an action to automate that task. There is Script Event Listener (File > Scripts > Script Events Manager) which you can try to automatically play action when opening documents. Another way is to record the action with two steps: step Open and step to convert Background layer to normal layer. When recording action use Insert Menu Item from Action panel menu to record step Open. Open any document, resume recording action then click on the padlock to unlock Background layer. Stop recording the action. Lastly, assign a keyboard shortcut to action.

Strange things are happening. It seems like Myriad Variable Concept does not have forward slash defined for some fonts (font styles) and it displays empty text fields in the Properties panel when a particular font is chosen (like Myriad Variable Concept Light). Sometimes text fileds with name of the font and text field with font style are empty while other times it displays font name but text field with font style is empty.

The easiest way is to use Image Procesor Pro, as already mentioned. This script allows you to save multiple images with different dimensions (Resize to Fit on the right side) in a single pass. You have the option inside script window to scale the original image so you do not need any action. If you need to add prefix or suffix to the file name here is my tutorial https://www.designeasy.co/2014/07/how-to-add-prefix-and-suffix-to-file.html

I do not see any variations in color on the shirt. You can sample color from shirt using Eyedropper to set it as Foreground color then simply paint with Brush tool on a layer with a t-shirt or on a separate layer above the layer with t-shirt.

With vector data, it will not lose any quality. You can always reopen object in Illustrator by double-clicking on Smart Object thumb in the Layers panel or use Libraries panel and place linked in Photoshop in case you need to make some modifications.

What are dimensions/resolution of document and files that you want to place? If you are placing the small image into huge document (much bigger dimensions) do not expect placed image to fit. It will fit when you are placing an image with bigger dimensions of document dimensions, not vice versa. The resolution also plays a role in this process: if you are placing image 2000x2000px with 300res into document 1000x1000px with 72 resolution it will not fit, it will be placed smaller because in the background Photoshop will match resolutions (with Resample turned on) and your image will be placed at something like 500x500px.

I must put my $ 0.02. Double click on the right side of the layer with dots to open Layer Style dialog. Click on Color Overlay. Set Blend Mode to Normal. Click on a rectangle with color on the right side of Blending Mode to open Color Picker and set color which you want to use to recolor dots. You can also go to Layer > Layer Style > Color Overlay to open Layer Style dialog and set Color Overlay effect. The remaining part is to ensure that Blend Mode is Normal and to pick a color for overlay effect. You can change color at any time by double-clicking on Color Overlay which will appear under Effect below the layer to which is applied effect.

For white background, you can follow last two steps above mentioned. You must record additional two steps in that action. For the rest expand Set selection steps to see what is action selecting. Play one by one step to understand action (Ctrl + double click on action step) then you can perhaps modify it.

Did you ever tried to record action? New command Select Subject may work for you. If you have images with background layer only, follow these steps: Open image Start recording action Go to Select > Subject Go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal Selection. This will create layer mask and convert Background layer to normal layer. Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color. Confirm in the dialog which will appear then choose white color in Color Picker dialog. Go to Layer > Arrange > Send to Back.

It looks to me that you want single file with multiple artboards. It is doable using variables. Your data will contain only single data set and you will have multiple compositions or creations in single file. You can export artboards as pdf, by the way.

If I can understand you correctly the answer is no. I think that you want multiple files created using variables to blend them, for example. The only way is to create more layers in the same document and to assign variables to them.

Do you want to say that you have nested layer groups (groups inside group)? In that case right click on top level group (inside which lives all other groups) and choose: Delete Group. In pop-up which will appear choose: Group Only to get rid of top level group. Everything should work as you expect unless you still have nested groups. Another quick fix is to right click above object (with Move tool active) and to choose from context menu the name of the group which you want to select. In that case you can keep folder structure with top level group, just uncheck Auto Select. After choosing name of the group it will be selected in the Layers panel, just click and drag.

Here is my suggestion how to achieve what you want in Photoshop. I guess you want same shape evenly distributed with same fill on the same shape layer: Crete new shape layer. Use any technique that you know to get the desired shape on the shape layer. I am using two shape layers to cut a hole inside bigger one in the animation below. Ensure that shape path is selected. Press Ctrl + Alt + T then move duplicated path (which will contain and shape fill) Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + T to repeat operation (copy + move)

Lumigraphics You are right, we do not know much about source images. Later it can be done either way: to use Pixel replacement variable with adjusted images in correct perspective with correct aspect ratio or to use Pixel Replacement variable to place pixels using Fit or Fill method what depends on source images and their dimensions, actually aspect ratio than to run action which will adjust perspective.

Export data sets then run a batch process with action. The first step is to export all data sets as PSD layered files. Record action which will do a modification on layers. Use File > Automate > Batch or Image Processor Pro. Select previously recorder action in the top right corner of Batch dialog, for Source choose Folder with previously exported PSD files using Data Sets. That action will play on each individual file previously exported using Data Sets.

I will try to give you advice: learn to break things down. There are actually a couple of shapes in this composition plus effects and probably blended textures. If you place above example in Illustrator or Photoshop you can trace shapes using Pen tool. Start from the bottom-most shape, for example, and keep adding shapes on top and changing colors/adding styles like Bevel and Emboss. Try to find textures which can help you to quickly get the desired result using blend modes. It is not that difficult to replicate things, it is difficult to create something new.

Try this: Record action with Relative turned on and type some values. After recording action click on modal on the left side of action step: Canvas Size. This will force Photoshop to open Canvas Size dialog when playing action while Relative will be turned on so you need to change values and click OK. Here is sample action I have recorded Relative.atn - Google Drive I have recorded the action with pixels as a measurement unit. You can record the action in some other measurement unit if you are working with inches, for example. And by the way, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to play action.

When you use the Duplicate command (or Ctrl/Cmd + J) to duplicate Smart Object that will create a clone. You can create as many cloned SO layers as you want. Changing content in any cloned Smart Object will automatically update content on all other clones. However, scaling factor is not connected in any way, you can scale duplicated Smart Object layers (clones) to any dimensions what will not affect any other cloned SO.

Trevor.Dennis You are welcome! I can not remember how much time I spent to record actions. Who cares anyway? The free version is simpler based on real-world puzzle pieces bought in our local shops. Later on, I have created and paid version which is creating up to 2000 pieces and it is based on Ravensburger puzzles and my interpretation. In that time I checked everything that can be found on the internet and I bought a couple of puzzles in our local shops. By the way, if any ACP needs actions for 1000 or 2000 pieces just email me.
