Don't see the "Stack It" button #9

Closed robpurdue closed 9 years ago

robpurdue commented 11 years ago

I was wondering why I was having so much trouble understanding this, and then I watched the YouTube tutorial from a couple of years ago. I got the TychPanel 2.2 installed tonight using CS 5.1 on OS X, but I just don't see the "Stack It Up" or the other button that gets the thing started.

When I click on a new row/column (which, I think the icons are wrong for those) I get the reorder images dialog box. But once I produce one tych, I don't have any way to reset the layout. Does that make sense?

Here's what I see in the Tych panel in PS. I assume I should be seeing more buttons?

Thank you!

Hi Robiuipui,

Tych Panel 2 is redesigned to not use predefined layouts and the Stack it up-button is no longer used. You are seeing the correct interface but there is now way to reset the layout other than starting over.

Instead, in Tych Panel 2 you can continue building your layout by adding more rows or columns. This way it's more general and powerful.

Hope that makes sense.

Hey --

Thanks for the speedy reply. I thought I would just reply here.

Maybe I don't "get it," but I don't know how to "start over" with a new layout. Here's an example:

I had three landscape images that I wanted stacked on top of each other. I clicked the add row button and was able to select my images. The script ran fine.

Then I had three portrait images that I wanted aligned next to each other. I clicked the "add column" button and selected and ordered images, but then the script made them vertical (stacking the three tall images on top of each other) rather than horizontal.

I don't know how to preview the layout I'm using, or reset it.

Thanks! Rob

Add row will add just that, a row. That is, images laid out horizontally.

Add column will add a vertical column of pictures.

If you want to create say two rows of images, you need to enable the Composite with active document-checkbox. You would then add one row at a time and build up your composition.

To start over you close your document and start from scratch. There is no way to preview the layout, you have to know what you want beforehand.

Does that make sense?
