It's a pixel layer, not a photo. So I can't make the adjustment?

I barely know the basics tbh, so do not know how to carry out the operation you describe. Can you lay out the steps? Thanks in advance

I need to apply a color spectrum to an object - a pixel layer in this case. I am fine applying a chosen single color, but how would I apply a 'rainbow' effect to an object? Being able to choose the gradations - whether color or greyscale would be useful. Thanks

How do I 'nest them in the shape layer'? When I insert them in the layer everything vanishes

Thanks for the reminder Garry - it's Photo. But I have all three. Are there any videos that show the procedure you mention?

In Photo I have an image made up of layers. I wish to cut out and export part of it as a jpg. My preference is to use the shape tool. What is the process for this? Thanks

I spend a lot of time resizing things to match the size of other objects, so am wondering if there is a way to select one object, then have another object conform to those dimensions? In case it's not clear, I mean that I have to manually input the dimensions of the first object, to have the second take those same dimensions.

Thanks Carl. Needed a reset for some reason. How do I change the size units? It's on pt but I want to use mm.

I need to resize an element but the dimensions info on the bottom right, below layers, has vanished. How do I get this back? Thanks

Do you select group or group layers?

Works great, thanks guys. I only noticed you check contiguous, not uncheck it again. It's like learning to drive again - so many things to pay attention to. One last thing: for the final layout I have many other cover elements, including text boxes. And I need to have all the elements ungrouped until the last minute, as I need to do tiny adjustments to line everything up. How would you recommend I handle the masking, given that there are so many other elements on the page? Do I just untick everything that I don't want to work with, and perform the steps in your video?

Thank you. If I click the inside of the circle, only the inside is selected. Likewise if I select the outside of the circle (but still within that box) Where might I be going wrong? Also, how do you create your videos?

That could be helpful, thank you. When you say 'select the black' in your instructions - which black are you referring to? The background, or the grey in the box?

How have you merged the circle and the background before starting? I can follow what you are doing mostly, but I have them as separate layers, so the process is not behaving the same. Thanks

I tried to follow all this - but I still ended up with the same grey box. I'll try it again from the top ... I think I followed it better this time, but now have an outline around the grey box when I zoom in When he says: select the black Which black is he referring to? The black background (left me with same grey box), or the grey box (left me with grey outline of box)?

I got as far as step 5, Click on the mask layer icon - but could not get this working. I cannot select only the mask - the background is always selected as well

What are the steps to create this? Thanks

I have a PNG image for a book cover, and need it to merge with the black tone of the background. But even though it is a PNG, and I would expect (in my ignorance) the image to merge with the background, you can see a grey box around the image. Is there a way to have the image sit on the background without the grey box showing? I could try changing the whole background to the same grey box color, but that's not my preference. I've upload all relevant files here. Thanks. M:M_AFF_test_1.afphoto

Publisher v1.8.6 is crashing about once an hour at the moment, if not more. I am submitting each report to Apple now. I doubt it is a memory issue as I have very little else open and 16GB of RAM. I don't know what more to tell you, but I've never known it to be this unstable. I'm on Mojave, 10.14.6

I have everything else as it needs to be, all masters, TOC, everything. I simply need to insert some pages without screwing up the linked frames, sections, headers etc.

I have a book laid out and need to insert the foreword. I have tripped up in the past when trying to add new sections, so would like to ask the community's advice on the best and easiest method. I have everything else as it needs to be, all masters, TOC, everything. I simply need to insert some pages without screwing up the linked frames, sections, headers etc. I'm not sure what you'll need to know about the way the book is set up, so please ask for any clarifications. Thanks.

Evidently I wandered into this realm cluelessly. Having never used InDesign I assumed that if someone says 'here is an image', that it is indeed an image. I have gone back to the sender to look for a solution.

Using XnConvert the error message says: "Not a picture" The mystery deepens I have gone back to the sender and asked them to convert to PNG within InDesign - fingers crossed The file seems wonky

It is PNG that I need to convert to.
