Ok I found the problem: If I change the name of the folder, it will show me that warning. If I only rename, move or delete the file, it shows me the original path. So I still think that Photoshop is still 50% broken when it comes to this. It should show the original path, regardless of the folder not existing anymore. It should record that as a normal text information and show it to us so we could locate that file ... View more

Weird... I created a test action and indeed it shows the file that was supposed to open and it shows me the "Open" window for me to pick the file... but that didn't happen with those other actions I had where the File or Folder Not Found warning...   I wonder what happened with those other actions, because I definitely did the same thing on both ...

When I record the action it shows me the path and file name.  Now try to move that file to a different location and you will get the File or Folder Not Found.  And that's where I think Photoshop is "broken". Photoshop should save that information and say "File or Folder not found. Original path and file name: /folderX/folderY/filename.jpg". That way we would be able to know what file/folder is trying to open. If I go back to an action I created 5 years ago, it's hard to remember what Photoshop is trying to open. Maybe I still have that file, but it's just in a different location. If I knew the name of the file and its original path, I could at least remember what I was trying to achieve.   As a musician and producer, when I use Logic Pro and there's a missing file, it shows us that information: ...

Here's my issue with this:   If you create 2 300px by 300px images, regardless of their resolution, if you check their size, they are both 300px by 300px. That's their size inside Photoshop, and that's what Photoshop should focus on.   Now, if we create a Smart Object inside Photoshop by selecting various layers, the Smart Object won't be resized, so it's ok that if I try to resize that SO, it shows 100%   BUT...   When we drag an image (Place), if we think about the first example of the 2 images of 300px, just different resolutions, if my dragged image is smaller than the original document, then it shouldn't resize it (unless we tick that option) and it shouldn't say (after it scalled it up to fit the canvas) that it's 100%, because it's not, it scaled it up.    That's my only issue with this, because by scaling it up, it degrades the quality of the image and then I won't be able to know when it's the optimal size. Like a "reset" button.   Because if we need to open the image, copy and paste it to avoid image degradation, then what's the point of even having the Place feature... right? 😉   When I say that it degrades the image, I mean that it scales it to a size that will be in a lower quality. I know that being a Smart Object, the image itself is "protected", but still, if it scalled up, it degraded the quality if I don't make any changes and, for example, print it like that.   ...

Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to have some free time to really dive into this. Ok so one of my issues is not the degradation of the image, even though that's not desirable, of course. My issue is that Photoshop says that the image is at 100% when in fact it's not, at least, size wise. This only happens when the resolutions are different, yes, but if an image is 1000px by 500px and it's now at 2000px by 1000px, because it was resized to fit the canvas, then the Transform information should clearly say 200% and not 100%, otherwise I will never know how much the image was scalled up. Does it make sense?   In your example, the second to last image was in fact scalled down to fit the canvas, but I don't see a problem with that. It's just how Photoshop works, I guess and for me, it actually works better that way. But as you can see, the Transform window tells you that the image was scalled down to 33.33%, which is a good indication. The issue is when it's scalled up and you have no idea how much. That's when real degradation happens, not when you scale it down.   I was testing with some images with different resolutions and what I noticed (not sure if that makes any sense or not for those more into resolution than I am) is that if the resolution of the image being dragged into an opened document is LOWER than the opened document, it scales UP and doesn't tell you how much. The opposite also happens, but the other way around: an image with higher resolution will be scalled down and it shows you how much.   Here are the results. Feel free to comment. Maybe I'm missing something here, but when it says "100%" when it actually scalled it up/down, seems like a bug to me...   Original image: 300px by 300px, 300ppi   Imported images:   100px by 100px, 100ppi: scaled it UP to 300px and showed it as 100% in the Transform window 100px by 100px, 300ppi: kept the original size (100px) and it showed as 100% in the Transform window   300px by 300px, 100ppi: scaled it DOWN to 300px and showed it as 33.33% in the Transform window   600px by 600px, 300ppi: scaled it DOWN to 300px and showed it as 50% in the Transform window 600px by 600px, 600ppi: scaled it DOWN to 300px, but showed it as 100% in the Transform window   ...

Hi,   Thanks for the reply. That would be a workaround, but when working with something that's not final, that wouldn't be practical... I'm trying to figure out how to link those 2 together so I can move them around together, resize, etc, and then if I need to resize the whole image and keep working, I don't want to commit to that, you know what I mean?   I know that I can move the gradient around when the Gradient Fill (adjustment layer) window is open, which is kinda useful, even though I think Photoshop should add this feature to the layer itself without opening the window. And then, the ability to link the layers together.   It's kinda weird that this is not so straight forward...   ... View more

Hi Bojan,   On a Mac it's CMD + Shift or CMD+Shift+Alt/Option. On my Photoshop it's increasing 2px/2pt or 10px/10pt on a new project (please check the previous reply I sent JJMack explaining what's happening now... weird, but working, somehow...)   Thanks for the reply 🙂 ... View more

Hi, JJMack   For some reason, on a new document, it's working as expected... weird... It's increasing 2pt/2px, not 1pt/1px though. Not a big issue at all. It's not a huge difference. And it's increasing 10pt/10px when adding the Alt/Option key as expected.   Here's the weird part: I opened the other document and it behaves weird, still. Checked the doc settings and checked the text as well. Both "working" and "not working" docs and text boxes have the exact same settings and yet behave differently. I even copied the "non working" text box to the new doc and it still behaves weird so I guess there's something wrong with this text box... go figure...   Thanks for your feedback 🙂 ... View more

I just tried it and if I don't change the name of the file, it doesn't change the destination. But this to me sounds like a bug, because why would it change the destination based on the user changing the name of the file? What if the original file is called ABC.png and I want to create a file called DEF.png (not jpg)? That would overlap, but the thing is that maybe I want the original file to be the "master" file and then I want to crop it and create a second file with a different name. Seems like a bug, right? Especially when it goes back to normal once I do the second run ... View more

This is what's happening. See how it's a normal folder first, then it's in the trash and the name of the image itself when I hit Run, just renames itself This is when I record all the steps, before I send the created file to the Trash Then when I delete that png, the location itself changes: And this is the file in the Trash, when I hit run the first time: ...

Yes, it is there on CS6 and not on CC. This is a feature I use all the time, just because when I knew about it I was like "wow this is exactly what I needed to save me time" and know that I don't have it I was like "oh crap, it will make me waste more time" Sometimes I would like to know who's behind these decisions to remove features that are useful... ...

Thanks. I wish they could include that as an option or at least it would be great if, after saving a certain step inside an action, we could just go and delete some stuff inside, like for example the location part inside the Save As step. I just found a way to workaround it for my workflow. I created different folders (Folder 1, Folder 2, etc) and had to make the same action several times, but having it saved to each different folder. It took me a while, but since I'm going to do it 365 days (once a day for a year), it's worth the time Thanks for your reply! ... View more
