Photoshop question, yes, i dont know how to make it - GoFuckYourself.com

Can be simple but i need help doing it.

You can easily enlarge canvas size, but how can you insert some vertical space ( kinda inserting rows in Excel ) between layers on top of curren tobject and layers below current object?

czarina · 01-21-2011, 03:37 PM

I don't understand your question. You want to insert space on top of a layer?

I have a long vertical design. And i need to SQUEEZE in in the middle couple more blocks of design, i dont wan tto just enlarge canvas and then drag layers up and down to make that space, i thought it would be possible just define an area in the middle and do a command like BREAK IN THIS AREA.

I could be wrong, but I've been using Photoshop for a decade, and I don't think it has an option to expand canvas in the middle of the image. You can add space to top, bottom or sides, of course.

Perhaps someone with more experience will correct me?

Well, i always did it like you said before but today i got extremely lazy and i guess we just found out a new feature for Adobe PS to come.

Correction, not in the middle of the IMAGE, but in the middle of the PSD area, so that would mean expanding it both ways up and down with
free space insertion.

czarina · 01-21-2011, 03:50 PM

nope, there's nothing like that. Your only choice is to move the top layers up or the bottom layers down, thus creating an empty area of canvas in the middle

Sid70 · 01-21-2011, 03:57 PM

Time to email Adobe Photochop!

Nick_Merlot · 01-21-2011, 04:09 PM

I don't understand the question either. If your just wanting space at the top and bottom, then when you enlarge the canvas size make sure the middle box is clicked and then only add to the vertical space. Or if your just wanting to add space to the top, then click the bottom middle box then add to the vertical space. I don't think this is the answer you are looking for though. When I first read your post I thought you were trying to add depth. Still not 100% clear on what you are asking.

he said he wants the space added to the middle

sounds like every layer would have to be moved up and down, or flatten them all and do it, but then you lose the layers

maybe you could write a macro to go into each layer and select and move things to automate the process

In that case I think he could just group the layers so he can move them all at once?

loreen · 01-21-2011, 04:30 PM

Yeah, group and then ungroup - but if it's a long page that also takes a lot of time. If it's going to be css coded I usually leave it out from the design and just add it in the code

VladS · 01-21-2011, 04:32 PM

CTRL + ALT + C and move up or down the layers?

V_RocKs · 01-21-2011, 04:42 PM

Umm... are you just asking to alt-I, S and then put extra large number in the height field?

See the gap between shits?
Thats what i want to be made automatically without
takign shit up and down, just INSERT A FREE SPACE IN
THE DEFINED area that would cause upper shit go up and
bottom shit go down.

Hahaha

thats the best way to explain a problem that I've ever seen

Some Guy · 01-21-2011, 05:18 PM

I knew what you were talking about immediately. I'd love it if Adobe created an option for this in future versions of Photoshop. It's a pain when you're designing something, realize you want to add something else to the middle, and then have to move all of your layers around.

facialfreak · 01-22-2011, 01:49 AM

Creating groups makes moving as many layers as you want very simple ...

It sounds like you need to learn what features PS already has, before requesting new ones ..

Proper PS etiquette says you should be using groups for similar objects anyways ... and then your question would have never been a question to begin with ...

having n number of layers all in the wild is just sloppy photoshopping ...

this way you can expand canvas either way and move a group of layers appropriately
hope this helps ;)

Yeah this would be the way to do it. In your layers window, create two folders/groups, then put the layers you want to be above the gap in one, and the layers you want below the gap in the other, expand the canvas and manually move the groups/folders.

There's no way for Photoshop to automatically do this (and you can't email adobe in hopes they'll add it in as a feature). Because there is no way for Photoshop to know what to move up and what to move down. How would PS be able to tell which of the layers were supposed to be the ones to move up, and the ones to move down. And what if you had a layer that stretched the whole canvas - is PS supposed to rip it in the middle - that would be bad.

You just have to learn to 1. Plan better and 2. Organize your layers and groups better so if the need arises to do something like this it's an easy task.
