After my last post reply, Illustrator was working normally. Then, after going about Smart Object edits it started doing it again. ... View more

Hello, thanks for replying. These are client files so they arrive as is- The artboard conforms to the size of the "Page" each element is "extracted" from- so any sort of editing in terms of resizing the artboard probably wouldn't be beneficial as it creates more work. I think I read a near similar issue where users ended up wanting to request something like a "size to fit" for Illustrator and this request has been up for a long time. Saying that, this only became an issue a day or 2 ago so I don't know whats going on. I'm a bit busy at the moment but I'll try to run additional experiments when possible. ... View more

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, on this particular machine all my setting for updates and downloads and everything are all managed. I have no clue why that happened and am still curious to find out ... View more

Thanks for your reply. I see no need to provide a sample file as any sort of PSD experimentation can be carried out with a simple user created file like the one the screenshot is based off of above. In fact, if any sort of script or action was found I would likely strip out all other layers aside from the dialogue layers. All one would need would be a rasterized layer and it's designation in the layer panel. Thanks for your time though and have a great day.  ... View more

Thanks for the reply. The other layer names are irrelevent as I have the option of dumping them entirely- just keeping my dialogue layer groups for whatever exprimentation. Even if I had a type layer for each and every panel I am not concerned with them as I would just pick out what I wanted to keep. The non-text layer names are named by the author and/or me- as they are just named "layer 1, 2 etc." by Photoshop if not designated by the user.   I do work in a "visual medium" but this particular request deals with a very basic Photoshop function- which is just creating a new layer. I'll throw in an example screenshot of a rasterized layer with the original layer name designation Photoshop adds to it when you type out text. Thanks. ... View more

Thanks for the response. The guy just screwed up his files for the most part by rasterizing them- he generally gives me at least PSD's with editable text layers. If he was sending completed files out for whatever final publishing purpose- that would be fine. The thing is, the "base files" need to be edited and translated to multiple languages. The particular font doesn't matter too much as I usually change the fonts when I am changing to another language- sometimes I even change the Asian fonts before editing as well due to plugin quirks.   The data is still available in the layers panel as the lines are not overly long. So far I have just manually copy-pasted things as I was sure I wouldn't be able to pull off any "tricks" in time for when I want to finish the project. Repositioning was done but that wasn't too much of a concern for me.   I actually did try some screen reading software though and a lot of other tricky methods to try and capture the text and re-insert into the PSD files. I think if the text was English one of these methods could have mostly worked but since they were Asain characters I wasn't able to get more than a few random characters per page. ... View more

I think I can describe that without a sample. When you create a text layer, the layer is named the same in the layers panel (If I typed "Hello" in text the text layer would read "Hello". The client accidently rasterized the text layers but the text information exists within the layer name designations. ... View more

Hello. I edit multiple .PSD files for work. When I am done editing a series of .PSD files, I run a Batch command of a simple Action file I created to resize them all at once. I noticed today after updating Photoshop, that the Action file I created ends in an error in Photoshop- I even re-created the Action file to see if I could get a different result and it does not work. Photoshop gives me the error "Error: Could not complete the command because of a program error. (-1)". I can see that Photoshop will resize the first .psd file but then refues to save it and it spits out the error. I can run the batch with the errors sent to a "log" and at this point Photoshop will perform the resizing actions on the series of .PSD files but then I have to manually save each one- needless to say this defeats the purpose of running commands on multiple files. Any chance this will be fixed? I have too many files to manually resize each one like this. ... View more

Update : It appears I am going to have to open every PSD file I am working on in the last release as the same issue keeps occuring. I can sort of "fix" the problem by working normally in the older version saving it and then opening it in the latest version but at this point I may as well not use the latest release. ... View more

After looking over things, I almost think that this particular issue is just Legacy Compatibility. I'm not entirely sure. I get work to edit that could have been created recently or up to 10 years ago. The people in charge of delegating this work are not artists or designers- certainly not Adobe users. I sort of think Adobe has jumped the gun on all of these new updates which break backwards compatibility- the business world is slow to adapt to changes so Legacy Compatibility should probably be supported for another 10 years or so just to kind of "wring out" the last of the older documents that will still be in use. I think I may have gotten a mixed batch of PSD files in a series because 2 files down, the text slowdown has seemingly stopped. I say this now but God knows if it's really another issue- considering that this same kind of problem is routinely posted in the forums. Meh, I think I am typing to myself.   ... View more

To follow up. Updating my Graphics Card Driver did nothing. Aside from V 23.1.1 I also have 21.2.1- This version has the same problem. ... View more
