It seems strange to me that there wouldn't be a simple mechanism for editing
multiple layers of type

There is if you upgrade your version of Photoshop.

The comments about PS not being a typesetting program are true but I don't think putting text on buttons requires any degree of typographic sophistication!

Have you tried this?

1. In the Layers palette, link all type layers you want to modify.

2. In the character (or paragraph) palette, shift-click in the field you want to modify.

3. Make your changes.

All the type objects should change accordingly.

Or am I misunderstanding what you're trying to do?

I tried that but to no avail. Only the field I am trying to change, changes.
CS won't allow me to select several layers at once.
It would still be a bit of a hassle because it would have to be done layer by layer, but a simple type styles palette would do the trick. They have a layer styles palette for adding a blue drop shadow to each layer or whatever. Why then not have a basic type styles ability?
I guess it is what it is. I just find it hard to believe that Adobe in all its magnificence, the best of the best, would overlook such a basic necessary thing. That's why I'm finding it so hard to believe.
I'll try those other suggestions and post back. Thanks

I just find it hard to believe that Adobe in all its magnificence, the
best of the best, would overlook such a basic necessary thing in a program
where people commonly work in lots of layers. It's not like it's the first
version of Photoshop!

No, but Photoshop CS is 4 versions old...and there is indeed a better way of doing what you want to do if you were running the CURRENT version. For the life of me, I can't even remember what CS has or doesn't have at this stage (it being so old) but /i think what you want is the Type Tool preset (I think CS had that but I can't remember).

TOPIC: PS CS3 Printing 1/8" Too Large

With all of your input, we've got this figured out...

I think the basis of the problem was that I was getting extra 1/8" because I was setting to Borderless. The print still wasn't right, such as the image was not centered, until I upgraded the OS to 10.5.5. - thanks Ramon.

So, now I know how to fudge the dimensions if I'm printing Borderless on 8x10 paper, and to switch to 8.5x11 paper if I require the image size to be exactly a certain dimension when printing with a border on 8x10 paper (if my image size exceeds the printing area).

Thanks again for your assistance.

I have always preferred to use InDesign for printing when it comes to exact placement of elements on the page.

Buko,

Does InDesign give you 16-bit printing in CS4 like Photoshop does?

Here's something that should work too to make use of the Epson ABW printer settings.

In the Photoshop CS4 print window, just use "Photoshop Manages Color" and click the Print... button.

When the Mac OS Print dialog window opens, you can then use the Pulldown Menu (where you can change Layout etc.) under the Presets to make adjustments to color management to how the printer will output the print job.

Artpro. It's like Illustrator, but with a really slick and advanced trapping interface, and all kinds of support for spots and alpha channels.

Is there anyway that i can move up or down on the layers, using the keyboard? instead of taking the mouse and clicking on another layer?

The keyboard would be a shortcut for me...

Thanks in advance...

Yes. Using the bracket keys [ ] and combinations with Shift, Command and Option you can move up and down, move the Layers themselves and jump to the top or bottom, etc.

Command/Control click on the layer and select the layer you want to target from the context menu.

Really? There is no way of evenly distributing them? How come Illustrator does it but Photoshop doesn't?

From: J_Maloney@adobeforums.com

Do it in Illy, and bring it into Photoshop. The reason PS doesn't do it is because it's not a layout program. Distributing space is a layout function.

Thank you guys. Although, I'm still not getting why it does not space them evenly. If it can space other objects just fine (like squares for example), why is it having a hard time with pieces of text?

Even the cheapest hardware calibration puck will give you much better results than any eyeball calibrator, including SuperCal.

From: Neil_Keller@adobeforums.com

The problem with manual calibration is that the human eye is easily fooled by such factors as the color previously viewed, adjacent colors, ambient light, how tired you are, having no optimized point of reference, etc. I mean, even what you think is a "great" picture on an standard def TV pales the moment you put it side-by-side with a properly calibrated HDTV.

You could try activating the optional ForceVMBuffering.plugin.

(If you are not using Open GL, you may also find the optional Bigger Tiles Plugin helpful — although I found that it was unnecessary on my System so I disabled it again.)

Another idea: drop your Cache Levels back to 4.

I was reading that in OSX 10.5, there was no need for using the ForceVMBuffering.plugin? I will try anyway...

I have my cache levels at 1.

and in the printer dialogue box I turn off the printer's colour management.

Exactly how do you know that you've successfully turned off the driver's color management? The results you report, magenta cast are indeed the expected results of double color management. So, while you THINK you've turned off color management in the Canon driver, apparently you have not actually done so. As Ramón indicates, the Canon driver is, uh, hard to figure out...so you should take steps to figure out how to do so....

ok, if the files are corrupt, DCS 1.0 can be difficult to read (it relies on a lot of things being "just right" among all the files).
