Adjustment layer causes layer to disappear

I have a bunch of 3D precomped layers which are stacked underneath some other layers. I want to add an adjustment layer above the 3d layers but when I add one its ok if its at the top but if drag it down to sit above my 3d layers they turn invisible. Not sure why. There is no effect on the adjustment layer. I can still see thir outline but the image disappears.

What Rick and Mylenium are describing is detailed here:

Applying an adjustment layer / or adjustment TO a layer in a grayscale image is NOT happening!

I'm a long time user of Photoshop, but must admit to being stumped here. I have a very high resolution scanned image from a B&W antique engraving, and I'm trying to "open up" some of the lines to bring out the details in the engraved image while keeping the image as close to the "line art" B&W of the original as possible.
I have the image now "cleaned up," having taken out the yellow color casts, etc., and have a grayscale 8-Bit image in the Photoshop file.
I've discovered that I can use an adjustment TO the layer itself, or an adjustment layer on the layer in the grayscale image to take away some of the density and "open up" the line art a little, so it has better details by effectively "choking" the dark lines back to make them less thick and dense.
Here's the thing, though:
When I tried making the adjustments via image > adjustments > levels DIRECTLY ON the layer (instead of using and adjustment layer to achieve this), every time I hit the OK button to accept the adjustments I've made that way, the dialog box closes and the layer seems to revert to looking just the same as it did BEFORE I opened the dialog box to adjust the layer!
When I try making the adjustments by using an adjustment LAYER, and I try to save the Photoshop image as a TIFF file, I find that when I open the saved TIFF image, the layer adjustment I'm seeing in the source Photoshop file has NOT been applied, and the image in the saved TIFF file looks just as dense as the original, unadjusted image in the Photoshop file!
What am I doing wrong here? I want to be able to save out that adjusted image as a TIFF file to use in designs, but I cannot seem to save it as a TIFF that actually CONTAINS or reflects these adjustments after having MADE the adjustments!
Whazzup?!!

Well, I took the layered TIFF file you gave to me and opened it in Photoshop, reviewed the adjustment layer in there and its effect -- thanks: you get what I was trying to do -- and then saved it out as a flat TIFF image, and when I reopened it, voila! it looked like the adjustment had indeed been applied. So this IS a real head-scratcher indeed.
I've now tried going back to my source file and doing the same thing. One thing that I notice is that when I do the Save As of the TIFF with the adjustment layer in it (OR the PSD file, for that matter), when I go to Save YOUR file, the Layer Compression Options are grayed out, but when I go to Save MY file, the Layer Compression Options are active. I've tried now saving both with RLE layer compression AND As a Copy ("discard layers and save a copy"), and neither works.
I noticed, too, that your file had the layer below the adjustment layer still as a "Background," instead of a named layer, so I went back and applied an adjustment layer to a copy of my TIFF file, leaving the image in its layer as a Background layer, and still this did not work.
The only other difference I saw between your TIFF file and mine, is that mine contained transparency, as I've silhouetted away a portion of the image to isolate the central image of the scanned engraving. But even when transparency is not a factor (i.e. I go back and start with a flattened, nontransparent image layer of my TIFF file with a single Background Layer, and I apply the adjustment layer to that, I get the compression options grayed out on Save, and STILL the saved TIFF image I get out of it has "reverted" to the unadjusted appearance.

Could not complete your request because an adjustment or fill layer cannot be converted to the desti

Getteing the following message when dragging layers between files - Could not complete your request because an adjustment or fill layer cannot be converted to the destination document mode. Original file was client created and supplied. I have issolated the issue- two hue/saturation adjustment layers. I can and will just recreate them in the new file, but am looking for a root casue or long termsolution as it is a new client I believe will be sending me a good amount of production work.

Actually, 16-bit mode (some filters work in 8-bit only, though) is recommended to reduce the introduction of posterization which can easily arise with the relatively low precision of 8-bit mode. It doesn't benefit all work, but, especially if you use adjustments or low-opacity brushes, it's something to consider.

Only want to apply adjustment to one layer

When I apply an adjustment levels layer, all layers below are affected. I only want to apply an adjustment to one layer not all of them. How do I do this?
I am using photoshop CS4
Thanks,
S. Hamsun

To amplify that, an Adjustment layer will affect all layers below it. To restrict the effect to one layer, the adjustment layer must be clipped to the layer below. This can be achieved in CS4 by clicking the icon shown above in the Adjustments panel or Alt-Clicking on the border between the two layers in the layers panel.

Moving Objects from Layer to Layer

Yes I knwo this is probably a very naive question but I'm
learning Flash 8 here and it says nothing in the documentation
about moving an object from one to layer to another. I'm sure in
Flash 5 you selected the object and then simply clicked the layer
which you wanted it on. This seems to have changed and Adobe/MM
have forgotten to say how you do it now.

When you say "move" an object from layer to layer - you
simply want to cut the object on the stage
in one layer and paste it in place on another? You will have
to manually cut and paste it. Flash 5
or any previous version never had an "auto-move" feature,
esprcially the way you describe: "...you
selected the object and then simply clicked the layer which
you wanted it on..."
That type of functionality would be disasterous - if any
object on stage was selected and then you
clicked on a layer would force that object to move to that
layer, would cause major headaches and
render the program unusable - because 99% of the time, anyone
who was not wanting to move the object
would have a very hard time keeping them on the intended
layer while tying to use other features in
flash (like renaming layers, or moving the stacking order of
layers, or creating layer folders or
motion paths or mask layers, etc...
Are you really asking about "merging" 2 layers together?

ISDN BRI layer 1 & layer 2 do not sustain "active" statuses

Hi Expert,
I have some routers which can not sustain the ISDN layer 1 & layer 2 statuses correctly. Whenever, the ISDN line is manually activated or the ISDN BRI ports are manually reset, the layer 1 & layer 2 statuses become active but they become deactivated after a while. I have changed the ISDN module and the same symptom is observed. Would you advise what is the cause and resolution. Your advice in this matter is greatly appreciated.

I have another router with the same configuration and the statuses are able to sustain correctly. Thus, I doubt that the backup interface command has any effect on the layer 1 & layer 2 statuses.

It seems my "passed" events in my calendar are not on my iphone anymore...Is there a setting I have changed that caused them to disappear? They do still appear on my Outlook calendar on my pc? How can I get them to show up on my iphone again?

Events that are in the past do not appear on my calnedar on my iphone. Have I possibly changed a setting that caused them to disappear? Can I get them back on my iphone as they do still appear on my Outlook calendar on my PC?

Thats still gave an error. The error it first runs into the if layer.....
this appears to work now like this.

How to create new canvas at photoshop and apply a layer by layer name?

How to create new canvas at Photoshop and apply a layer by layer name ?
So simply what i want is

When you write Apply a layer what do you mean Script will select layer by name. A new document will have a background layer or a normal layer do you want to rename that there is onle one layer. Or do you want to add a layer by name what kind?
thanks for answer. you know like background layer. for example when you are generating web buttons you are preparing background layers. it will select a layer like that.
also can you post full script here if possible ? thank you.

Rename layers with layer 1, layer 2 till and layer N

My Name is Sathya Murthy
I have psd files with many layers each with different names
I want to rename the layer which i have selected using right click with name Layer 1
Next layer which I right click with layer 2 and so on till layer N
and layers with are left out without renaming should be put in a new layer set or group in layers separately in the same file.
which i have opened
and layers should be arranged like this
till Layer N
Layer 4
Layer 3
Layer 2
Layer 1
Group or Layer Set
Background
I hope you understand what i am saying
I want scripting for that action as I have more files to rename layers so by using scripts i can work little bit faster
anyone knowing please help
Thanks In Advance
Sathya Murthy

I don’t think one can select Layers in the Layers Panel or on the Canvas while a Script is running.
One could select the Layers via a dialog, but that would take focus and need to present a list of the Layers.
Alternatively it might be possible to set up a work-around by selecting a Layer, invoking a Script (either by Keyboard Shortcut or from a Configurator Panel) that stores data (the activeLayer in this case), repeating that as often as needed and at the end of the selection process trigger another Script (or possibly the same with the shift-key pressed) that then processes that stored information.
But maybe someone else has more insightr or a better idea.

Video transition on Adjustment Layer causing errors

I have video transitions (native, not plug-ins) on an adjustment layer without any effects. When playing, the video freezes on the last frame before the transition and then continues playing after the end of the transition. The transition does nothing but hold that frame. Also, if I try to render the work area or export, I get the "Error compiling movie: Unknown error". If I remove the transitions, things work ok.
Starting a New Project and importing the old one did nothing to fix the problem.
I've got plenty of RAM and HD space, please help.

Then...why are you using one. Just apply the transitions directly to the clips.
I did this to discover why another project was producing the "unknown error" when rendering and exporting. I kept everything clean changing one variable at a time on a new project: clip sources, resolutions, transitions, effects, adjustment layer, etc.
If rendering the sequence works, then that is the appropriate solution. Do you have a red line above the timeline indicating that you need to render? Or do you need to set the opacity at 99% - AND - then render to make it work.
Simply changing the opacity to 99% worked, no need to render.
Just out of curiosity, why are you putting transitions on an Adjustment Layer? I can't think of a reason, but then again, I use transitions between nested sequences a lot. Maybe it is in place of that?
An effect in an adjustment layer is jarring if its transition does not match one applied between clips.

My Layer Dropdown Arrows Have Disappeared?!

So I'm not sure if this has been brought up before on these forums but didn't see anything when googling the question.
For some reason my Illustrator CS6 Layer arrows have disappeared. Not allowing me to drop down all the objects within a layer to unlock certain objects within that layer. Not sure if I'm explaining this very well but if you view the two images of my screen, you'll see that I'm only have this problem with one file. The other is fine (as well as all my other files) and gives me my drop down arrows allowing me to go in and select or unlock individual objects within that layer. Please does anyone know why this is doing this? I need to finish this project by the end of the week but I can't finish it if I can't edit multiple objects within layers. Could it possibly be a bug? I don't think so. I may just have disabled it accidentally somehow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Go to the Layers Panel menu > Panel Options and see if the Show Layers Only option is enabled. If so, disable it.
It is a document specific setting.

(Video) Moving Layer Causing Lag Issue with Latest Photoshop CC (12-14-2014)

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQPtBTrjfzw
I have a 218 MB PSD file that is causing me major headaches. Any time I start up the file, dragging a single layer goes at about 2 frames per second. However, if I delete one layer or simply cut and paste a layer, the lag is fixed.
From the video:
- Deleting a hidden layer fixes the lag
- Removing one background layer fixes the lag
- Cutting and pasting any background layer onto a new layer fixes the lag...
Saving and returning to the doc causes it to lag again.
Anyone know what's going on? Photoshop Preferences:
Other Notes:
- Happens in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions
- I have the same issue with Photoshop CC 2014.
