When defining Pixel Replacement variable you have options to choose resizing method from Method drop-down list. Here is my blog post which may help you DesignEasy: Easy Way to Automate Photoshop with Variables (Part 6)

Press Ctrl + R then look at Ruler. Check that guide is properly positioned at pixel (marching ants on screenshot) not between two pixels (guide on screenshot).

When using Pen tool take a look at Options bar. From Path operations drop-down you should have New Layer (Shapes) or Combine Shapes (Path) selected. In parenthesis I have added tool mode which is available from the first drop down list in the options bar where you can choose to draw: Shape, Path or Pixels.

Actions can record almost any action (command from menu) which you can perform in Photoshop. However, to use some command there are always some requirements like: active selection, layer in the Layers panel selected and so on. For example: you can not ask in step to create selection based on layers content if layer does not contains any pixel, it will display error message. Each step in action is individual command but you must ensure in previous step(s) that requirement is met. To fix your issue you must expand action and action steps to see what is recorded, which step is causing error message and if that step or command requires something like pixels on layer then look at previous steps(s) to determine why that requirement is not met.

Which command you are using? With type layer selected go to 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Layer.

Bojan Živković · ‎Aug 14, 2017

Your assumption about downsampling images is correct. There are ways to automate process or in other words to batch process images if that's what you mean by more efficient way. You can use Image Processor Pro for that job.

Bojan Živković · ‎Aug 06, 2017

Go to Preferences > General and uncheck: Use Legacy "New Document" Interface.

If you have shape on vector layer (or pixel based layer with transparency) do the following: Ctrl/Cmd + click on layers thumbnail to create selection from transparency Click on Add layer mask at the bottom of Layers panel With layer mask selected go to Filter > Filter Gallery and play with filters like Sprayed Strokes

Bojan Živković · ‎Jul 23, 2017

Select layer with icon then go to Layer > Layer Style > Color Overlay. Set Blend Mode to Normal, Opacity to 100% and click on rectangle with color on the right side of Blend Mode drop down then pick color in Color Picker dialog.

Bojan Živković · ‎May 24, 2017

It is possible. With Pen Tool active press Ctrl to switch to Selection tool and click on shape to activate it (if path outline is not visible). Release Ctrl and click with the Pen Tool on the end point then continue clicking to add anchor point or to continue drawing shape. If you have path in Paths panel then click on it to see paths outline, navigate Pen Tool over end point and click once then continue clicking to add more anchor points and to continue drawing path.

Bojan Živković · ‎May 14, 2017

If you send me dimensions of all crops (presets) I can try to record that action for you. Just to mention that images which you want to crop must be at least in height and width as longest and highest preset dimensions. Another information that I need is which command you want to use to save images?

Bojan Živković · ‎May 14, 2017

It is doable but I would like to ask you some questions: is that action for yourself or for distribution (you are mentioning the user in original post)? If you plan to distribute actions then you must consider flattening, conditional actions or stop to inform user about requirement like only one layer in the file... you are mentioning presets, does presets needs to be specific and what is specific exactly (aspect ratio, specific dimensions...) have you ever used Insert Path and Insert Menu Item from Actions panel menu when recording actions? It will be more difficult to record action for distribution because you must take care for many possible situations = more thinking in essence and different approach.

Bojan Živković · ‎May 08, 2017

Colors are visible in Button mode. Click on Actions panel menu and choose: Button Mode.

Bojan Živković · ‎Apr 24, 2017

If I can understand you correctly, please follow this instruction: Delete Layer 0 Move Layer 0 copy above Layer 1 With Layer 0 selected pres Ctrl/Cmd + Alt/Opt + G to create clipping mask (you can also use: Layer > Create Clipping Mask)

Bojan Živković · ‎Apr 04, 2017

Just by looking at graphics we can only guess that it is indeed done in Illustrator. I will suggest you to stick with Illustrator and Adobe's products because: software quality tons of books and tutorials lots of plugins lots of users and experts who can help you Above are some of advantages over competition.

Bojan Živković · ‎Apr 02, 2017

Look at Options panel which is just below menus. With Brush tool active you will see Mode: drop down list.

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 26, 2017

Download action from here Unconstrained batch resize .atn - Google Drive Load action in Photoshop using Window > Actions panel > click on hamburger icon in the top right corner > choose: Load Actions > navigate to Unconstrained batch resize.atn file and double click on it. Run Image Processor then check Run Action: in section 4. From the first drop down select: Unconstrained batch resize (see screenshot below)

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 26, 2017

You can run action while batch processing images. Can you record action in Photoshop? Start recording action and do things as you would do normally to resize image then stop recording action. See screenshot below: check Run Action and specify set with previously recorded action (first drop-down) + recorded action (second drop-down list).

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 18, 2017

You are correct, C, M, Y and K stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Those are percentages of CMYK colors which are measured from 0 to 100% while RGB values are represented with numbers 0 to 255. Numbers for RGB values are creating color inside circle or inside square in the middle in your screenshot and those numbers translated to CMYK colors are represented on the right side: C: 4%, M: 28%, Y: 28% and K: 0%.

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 13, 2017

What you mean by manually resize? Did you tried to use Image > Image Size?

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 09, 2017

Here is video which explains what to do to pause playing action crop to multiple dimensions with stop.mp4 - Google Drive Here is action with stop step Crop using path 2.atn - Google Drive

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 09, 2017

Here is video which will explain to you alternative way of doing exactly same thing using different method crop multiple dimensions.mp4 - Google Drive Along the way you can learn and few tips. To master actions you must think sometimes outside of the box and to know how to speed up process of recording repeating steps. Here is a link to download action recorded while recording video Crop using path.atn - Google Drive

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 09, 2017

I realize that after recording video. Try to draw rectangle crop selection after specifying dimensions which must have px after number, do not forget that and tell me how that works. Note: you will have problem when using images with different aspect ratios. To record action for just any aspect ratio of image please watch alternative method (using path) which is posted below.

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 08, 2017

Please watch this video action for different dimensions.mp4 - Google Drive

What name you gave to your color swatches when saving? Can you remember? Another way is to re-save in different location like Desktop.

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 03, 2017

You must have color swatches in Swatches panel to be able to save them as explained. That's why I am asking where you have created palette. Usually I am creating palette (couple of colors for my project to maintain consistency in colors) in Swatches panel then saving it to Libraries. The very last option, if you have problem with other recommended options and you do not have color swatches in Swatches panel is: open Libraries panel then click on color from your color palette to set it as foreground color. Click on Create new swatch... (page icon in Swatches panel) and save as new swatch. In other words, move all swatches or colors to Swatches panel and then you will be able to save from Preset Manager.

Bojan Živković · ‎Mar 02, 2017

Where have you created color palette? In Photoshop? Go to Edit > Presets > Preset Manager > Swatches. Select swatches by clicking on each while holding down Ctrl/Cmd to add to selection then click on Save Set and save it.

No tricks, everything works as it used to work in Photoshop when opening Ai and eps files.

Bojan Živković · ‎Feb 15, 2017

If I can understand your question then use Variables and Data Sets. Variable should be: Text Replacement and you can load text file with all 1000 headlines then to export 1000 files with different text (variable assigned to layer with text and loaded data set) and the rest of composition will be the same for all exported files. Please read this tutorial: Creating data-driven graphics in Photoshop

Bojan Živković · ‎Jan 30, 2017

Please go to Edit > Preferences > General and uncheck: Resize Image During Place to solve problem with smaller images being placed. To measure in Millimeters do the following: display Rulers from View > Rulers. Right click on Ruler and choose: Millimeters. If you are using Ruler tool to measure then display Window > Info panel and there will be result of Ruler tool displayed in units that are chosen for the Ruler (Millimeters in your case).
