Can't we just crop a single image that we have in our document? Using the layer mask is not ideal, because if I then want to resize the image, it includes the space taken by the mask (unless I'm missing something?) ... Why is it that Adobe hasn't included a tool or shortcut just for this? Any idea? This seems to be such a basic thing a lot of us use, that's why I can't really wrap my head around why it isn't possible. By @TiagoRocha   There may be a translation issue when you use the term "image" – the context really means "layer" and "crop" is really "mask".   Only Adobe can answer "why"... I suspect that this has to do with non-destructive editing. The methods previously mentioned are destructive.   Smart objects can achieve a non-destructive workflow and allow you to resize the layer to the cropped area without the overall bounding area of the original layer's pixel content being transformed.   1) Add a Layer Mask to the raster layer content 2) Convert the raster layer to a Smart Object   Now when you transform, the masked area is used, not the entire layer bounding area.   If you need to revert to the original layer's raster content:   1) Edit the Smart Object 2) Delete the layer mask 3) Image > Reveal All 4) Close and save the Smart Object .psb file   All of these steps are easily recorded into an action or script. ...

im was also facing the same issue, got a solution for that which works for me. go to file,automate,batch, choose your folder for the action to applied and than choose your action to apply and add destination folder and add overide action that will work  ... View more

It's working, thanks ... View more

thank you. It's been a nightmare with this app. I had all my CDs I LOVE my CS4 and then Adobe screwed everything up.  I even gave up my printing and editing because it wasn't the same as my CD.  I'm at the age now when I don't really need it but I guess it helps to open up a jpeg. :-((((  ...

Hi Myra,   Thank you for the suggestion. I also thought that was a good alternative, but after testing, it's not. For example, if you move a layer up or down, all comps will reflect that order. The same if you delete a layer. Another test was adding a LUT to a layer. After saving different comps and changing the LUT for each, the latest LUT was also reflected on all comps. I'm sure there are probably other disadvantages to comps over snapshots and the method I just described, but these are the ones I tested and I believe those are big ones compared to principle of snapshots. I would assume that for particular cases, comps are useful, but I don't see them replacing snapshots. I just really think Photoshop could have that option where people could save the snapshots inside the file. Let the user decide if they want a huge file or not. Not all projects are super heavy to begin with anyway. ... View more

Let's say I have this image: And that I have this reference color:   Now if I pick a pixel from the image with the eye dropper it will give me a color, right? Let's say that I pick a color from the sky and I get this:   Now I would like Photoshop to grab the values of the first blue, compare them to the values of the second blue and then modify all colors in the image based on that difference. In this case with this image of the beach, there would be some crazy colors, but this is just an example. When I posted my original post, I was working with a vector image where that color change wasn't relevant at all. I just wanted the blue to match a blue I have as my brand's color. ... View more

I was not sure if the image is RGB (in which case the three Channels would already be identical) or CMYK (in which case the four channels might have different content).  To make a »Screen« Layer work properly in such a scenario all the composite channels should be identical (and contain full black).  ...

Thank you again for your time and help! This last code isn't as valuable to me as the other ones, because when I'm using this feature, it's more of a way for me to know the ratio of a particular section, not to really crop it. If I had the ability to press a button and make it automatically create the preset, that would be an improvement, but cropping it right away is not the intention... I know that on my request I wrongfully mentioned the Apply Crop button, but now looking back, it doesn't make sense that I mentioned that (at least not for my original intention for this feature). Maybe other users will find it useful though, knowing the ratio before cropping something? 🙂   Anyway, when I tried it, I got an error, after it was able to crop it successfully:   Again, thanks for your help. I totally understand that something as complex as this would require a lot of extra work and to me, the first 2 scripts are already a HUGE help, because I was struggling with this on a regular basis and this will save me a lot of time, so THANKS!   ...

So my question still remains: Is it possible to use CC offline? ========== No, of course not.  Online services require an internet connection.  It's in the system requirements.  That goes for file sync, CC storage, Adobe Fonts, Libraries, Behance, Portfolio, Spark, updates, notifications, etc... https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html You can use Photoshop offline when needed but online services like Libraries won't be accessible until you resume your internet connection.   Hope that helps.   ...

You wrote: I think I found how to set it up as the default (using the File > New... > Advanced section, I was able to change it to sRGB and it seems that it stays as the default). Part of this is due to your color settings hence the new video. Part of this is about other doucments you may open or edit, and again, that's part of the color settings: ensuring you always end up with sRGB and are informed when you are not editing sRGB documents, when documents are untagged, what the untagged documents assumption is etc.  The new dialog is sticky and you can make you own defaults too. There are also several ways you can view the current color space of all open documents (info palette if so set, document lable, if so set etc). Outlined in the video.  ... View more

@Kukurykus  Oh I see what you mean. Thanks.   My questions before your reply were not related to that though. All I wanted to know if that particular script was supposed to run inside xtools (because I was/am assuming that that is an app?) or if I could run it by itself (which I then tested and realized it can) and also, if that script can be changed to bypass the window where it asks where to save the backuped actions, because I want my actions to always backup to a specific folder, so being asked where the destination is, is just an extra step that I would like to bypass, if possible. ...

@J453Yes, that was the issue. Thank you so much for the tip 🙂 ... View more

Well, it's just a matter of habit that will probably change from now on.   And to be honest, the whole process of saving actions is a very cumbersome process. The fact that you can't just save a single action, but need to save the whole set, or that you can't save all sets at once, but you have to save them one at a time, makes the process less "friendly" and I believe maybe that's the reason why I don't do it whenever I create a new action.   But again, maybe that mindset will change from now on...? ...

It's undocummented indeed, so I had no idea it's possible until I found out in your code a true parameter. I was like what? Why anyone would put it in? Now we know the true parameter is default, so parentheses can be left empty, but with the other goal the false parameter is surely needed. It's a bit odd because normally 'no parameter' used is like false was put in, not true 😕   Aside of the above, at Apr 09, 2022 I presented a code I thought up myself many years ago before I start scripting in Photoshop. It let you exchange background with foreground colour without using ActionManager code, also without storing and later retrievieng original values. ... View more
