Hi, Our company just upgraded to CS2 from CS. Many of our .psd files are filled with countless layers that are organized into Layer Folders. With older versions, one could CTRL + Click any object on the document and its layer would automatically be highlighted in the pallete. Unfortunately, I...

Hi, I have several AE files that will be exported as AVI movies. However, I've been requested that every movie is required to loop back to the first frame and end. I scoured the Make Movie dialog for such an instruction to no avail. I know there are workarounds, I'm using one right now...

Thanks Jmgalvin, The only thing is that I need to just rename the layers in the one file, I don't want to export them into several separate files. Ideally, it would be nice if one could right click on a layer to rename it and in the window it would have an option where it would ask "apply new...

Hi, I have several .psd files, each with 40+ layers. Each layer is a frame to an animation, I need to rename each layer like: Boss_01 Boss_02 Bozz_03 Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks, Dan

Nevermind, figured it out. CLICK then EXPAND while SHIFT + ALT.

Hi, This has always bothered me and I finally decided to post this question, hopefully there's a solution: Whenever I use the elliptical marquee tool and drag it out, it always expands from left to right or right to left. Can one just simply expand it from the center point? I've tried several...

Thank you everyone for your responses, especially dimoj. Dimoj, this tid-bit will make my work so-o-o-o-o much faster and easier. Man, am I thrilled!!! Thanks again!

That's too bad. It would make my job a lot faster. My workaround right now, is to create an elipse on a empty layer with a solid fill. Then I scale and distort accordingly, make a selection, then selection the layer that the artwork in on (general concept vehicles) and then that marquee as a...

Hi, I was curious if there is a way to use the Transform tools on a marguee selection? I know one can make a selection on a layer that contains an image, but that is not what I want to do. The problem is that it distorts the image. I just want to distort the marquee and not the image. Any...

It was awhile back ago. It may have been, but I'm pretty confident it was straight PS. I remember how frustrated I would get waiting for the large files to open and one day, my supervisor said "want to know a knifty trick" and then he did the steps I mentioned earlier. I used it ever since...

Thanks Spiderix. Perhaps it was a special plugin for PS. I just remember pre-flighting large jobs that this was an option. It would show a proxy of the overall image, the user marquees the area desired, clicks OK and only that portion of the file would open in PS. Hmmm, if you come across...

Hi, Many years ago, I worked in a pre-press departement and occasional we would need to do this, but now I have forgotten. Anyhow, I have a large 600dpi image which requires work. I remember the ability to open specific sections of a large file to reduce CPU labor and memory. Can someone...

Some excellent advice, everyone. Thanks a bunch.

cmeagan656, thanks for the advice...much appreciated. Especially in regards to the raw email address info. Thanks, Dan

Hi, I have a website with an email link that reads "info@blitzdesign.net". Occasionally, I receive emails from this account where the recepient is either asking me to take them of my mailing list or stop sending them viruses. The only problem is (a) I don't have a mailing list (b) I don't have...
