Adjustment layers effects not applying when flattening image or merging layers CS6

So about a week ago I noticed something changed with my adjustment layers. In an image I would make a selection and start using adjustment layers to edit that selection, and then once I was finished, I would merge the adjustment layers together so that I could erase outside areas where the effect was not intended. However, whenever I merged the layers, the effects would go away and the thumbnail preview by the layer title would become blank (gray and white transparent) as if there was not anything on the layer. I messed around and I reset Photoshop, and then I thought the layers were fixed. They were somewhat fixed, except I've started having trouble again. Now I'm having difficulty editing this one image i'm on. It's a portrait with a photoshop-created red mask going around eyes, and I used the dissolve layer effect on the original mask creation which was black at first. Then I selected that selection and made more layers editing the hue, saturation, brightness/contrast, and exposure.
I tried to save the image as a jpeg, and the effects were messed up. The hue and all other adjustment layers seemingly applied, except the dissolve effect does not show up at all. So I tried to fix it manually. I flattened the image first with intention to then save it as a jpeg, but as soon as I flattened the image, again the dissolve effect was not applied. Then I tried to merge the layers, and yet again, the dissolve effect was not showing up. It shows up fine in PSD form, something's wrong with the conversion process. Please don't be mean to me. I'm not great at photoshop, I'm not saying that I am or claiming to be a pro or anything I just want help from people who actually get it. I have CS6 and use a Macbook Pro.

I stopped even trying to read this append. For is seems very complex and overwhelmed my little mind. Please consider including some screen captures showing your Photoshop window with your document that your writing about open and the layer palette shows the structure of the document. For me examples and screen capture of the steps involves involved would be very helpful.

Bevel & Emboss effect not visible in flattened image

I created a file in .psd, with several text layers to which I applied effects (fx) such as stroke, bevel & emboss, outer glow. When I flatten the image, the outer glow and stroke remain, but the bevel & emboss effect is gone. Type is a single color without the 3 dimensional effect.
I am also not able to preserve the bevel & emboss look when saving as a jpeg or a flattened .tif or .pdf. A saved .tif or .pdf with layers shows the effect just fine, but if the pdf is opened with Acrobat instead of Photoshop, the effect is not visible.
This must be a new problem, because I found a file that I created several years ago that is a flattened .tif with the bevel & emboss effect preserved.
I tried rasterizing the layer, and the type. Tried converting to 16 bit changing mode to CMYK, and multi-channel. Everything that involved merging layers lost the bevel & emboss effect.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thank you for the help!

Hi Trevor,
Thank you for the help. That didn't do it, either.
I did figure it out, though. My problem was that I was making a very large image (36" x 28"), and was viewing it fit to the computer screen size. What I needed to do was view actual pixels and tune up the layer style at that size.
All is well, and I sure learned a lot!

Blur effect not applied when exported to swf ?????

hello,
I have added a fast blur effect to a portion of my video project in AE, it looks great in AE.
but when I export it out to a swf, the blur effect is not applied, why??????
thank you

See "Render and export a composition as a SWF file" for a description of what is supported and what isn't for SWF export.
You can choose to either ignore or rasterize unsupported items. It seems that you probably have the Ignore setting selected.

Timewarp effect not applied when rendered from Media encoder CC

The timewarp effect (enabled using console veiw in PPRO CC) does nothing to footage when rendered through Media encoder...
It does however render when not sending it to the queue, and rendering straight from PPRO.

Fair enough,
Just hoping to raise attention of this...as I believe this should be a normal supported feature of PP as it once was back in CS3 days.....
Normal frame blending interpolation doesn't really cut it, and round tripping to AE is overkill for something already built into PPro....
But at least it's in there in some form

Preserving Layer Style Appearance When Flattening Image

I'm using Photoshop CS3 on the latest OSX platform with 6 Gigs of ram, and 75 to 100% cashe allocation. I'm working at 400ppi.
When I create a bevel and emboss layer style to make a shape dimensional, then go to flatten the image or merge layers the contour of the shape on the inner part of the bevel gets irregular and a slight white highlight is added. I want the image to look exactly like it does in layers when I flatten or merge it.
I need to send this to a client this afternoon - could you help please? Thanks!

Not sure how Smart Objects would make a difference to this. I can't reproduce this behaviour, on any file at any size. Your images look like a classic case of rendering descrepancies, at view percentages. I'm also not sure they are labelled correctly - looks more like the flattened one is likely to be the correct one.
Do you have OPEN GL on? I've only got one other suggestion - Layer/layerstyle/ Global Light - is somehow being reset by your flattening process?

Sysprep unattend file not applying when image is captured with wds (no errors)

So I've been around the block a bit using sysprep and wds. Recently I've created a reference image with a virtualbox environment using windows 7 x64. I was succesfully able to create a reference image, sysprep it and capture it to the wds server. My
plan there after was to create driver specific images for each model computer we use here after not having much success using the driver store (another story)
Any how So I take my reference image and deploy it to a new computer... In this case an HP Probook 5310m. Install any missing drivers and Sysprep it with the following command. sysprep /generalize /oobe /unattend:unattend.xml /shutdown
Below is the sysprep file I have been using

The machine succesfully syspreps and shuts down. I restart the computer pxe boot and capture the image succesfully.
Now here comes my problem...
Upon deploying the above driver specific image.. my sysprep file is not applied. Nothing from the OOBE wizard answers to the pc logo , or first logon commands are applied ... nothing.. I have gotten no errors during this whole process. I have
started to try to read the logs within the panther folder but havent gotten far.
What is weird to me is that I have tried recreating this image... deploy the reference image... add drivers ... sysprep ...shutdown. And if I boot normally (without capturing the image) the computer shows all of the sysprep changes.. Only when
i capture the image does it not apply the changes....
I'm stumped...
Any ides?

Confirm this scenario: You installed Windows, then ran sysprep and used the /unattend switch. Then you captured the image.
In this scenario there are 2 deployment methods.
1. If you deploy the image with DISM, the answer file generated by sysprep is detected on first boot and settings are applied. It is the same function as if you ran sysprep and chose to restart.
2. If you deploy the image using Setup.exe, it does not use the answer file specified by sysprep prior to capturing. I have not looked into *why* this happens, but I suspect that after the image is applied, it replaces the unattend.xml with the generic one.
If you are using Setup.exe, you need to use its /unattend switch and point to the answer file location. This location cannot be inside of the image. If you are not using setup.exe in a manual method (using WDS) you will need to apply the answer file to the
install image in the WDS snap-in.

Auto exposure not applying when using the auto enhance function

I am on Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite. I use a Canon 6D and shoot in RAW. When I am doing the batch auto enhance to my shots, I find that even though in the adjustments preset Auto Enhance includes auto exposure, often it is actually not applied. Are there anyways to fix this? The images actually are a bit underexposed and I now need to go through picture by picture to click on the auto button under adjustment. Thanks.

Have you set your camera to use Canon's Highlight Tone Priority? Then most of the Raw files will be underexposed, because Aperture is developing the RAW file "as is" and not applying the in-camera settings. See Keith Barkley's user tip.
The Big Three: Setting your camera for the best Aperture RAW results

Thumbnail not displaying when attaching image to email

Suddenly my Mac is not displaying a thumbnail image when I go to attach an image to an email. I have fixed permissions, restarted and relaunched Finder, but it's still not displaying. I've also unchecked and rechecked "show icon preview" in View Option while in the Finder. Anyone know any solutions?

Couple of ideas...
• After you have attached the image and it is showing in the email, right-click or Control-click the displayed image. From the menu that appears, select "View as icon". Then send it as a test.
• Once the image has been attached, fiddle with the Image Size dropmenu choices - this dropmenu is located in the lower right corner of the New Message window after adding the image.

AppV 5.0 SP2 HF4 - Registry not applying when set via DynamicConfig.xml

I have an AppV 5.0 package of VMWare and have tweaked the dynamicconfig.xml file to add a registry key. I am applying the package with the AppV 5.0 management and publishing server globally. This is what my dynamicconfig.xml looks like, pulled
from the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft... folder (my apologies if it doesn't format well, it does validate):
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I left in the example Foo registry just to see if it works. When I launch vSphere I do not get all the drop downs in the "RecentConnection" keys, opening the AppV 5 package in cmd.exe with the /appvve switch and opening regedit shows the
registry keys with the sequenced application, but not the registry keys in the dynamic config.xml. I should also note I'm trying to replace existing keys that already have the "RecentConnection" that are in the manifest.xml. So I'm not
sure if "Include" is "Replace" and errors out if those keys already exist...? I don't see any errors in the event log. I'm not sure of any other way that the event log reports if dynamicconfig.xml is being applied.
Lastly, this is what my get-appvclientconfiguration looks like:

Aperture 3 edits are not applied when opening in Photoshop CS5.

I have Photoshop CS5 selected as external editor. I apply some edits in Aperture 3 and then open in Photoshop cs5 to do heavier work, but aperture 3 edits are not applied. I get a new image from Master. How do I get the edited image to open in Photoshop CS5? I would rather do the cropping and simpler edits in Aperture, then if needed open the edited file into CS5. I can open the file, but it is missing all of my edits. I have basically a raw master file that I have to start with, but don't have the advantage of the raw file.

I'm right clicking on the photo and selecting -> edit with Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS5. The photo opens in Adobe, but it doesn't have any of the Aperture edits applied to it. I would have to start from scratch doing these in photoshop. I want to be able to do the Raw adjustments in Aperture and then open into Photoshop.
To test I applied a crop in Aperture and then opened that file in Photoshop. The full size image opens in Photoshop.

Imovie video effects not applying

Does anyon have any idea why some of my effects in iMovie have stopped applying. When I try to apply for example, "color posterize" the red bar at the bottom looks like it's applying the effect, but then when it's done, and I play the clip, either the effect hasn't applied, or there is just a black screen or the clip just won't play.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Parent keyword not applied when child (nested?) is selected

All,
I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else. I did a search and didn't come up with a solution.
In Bridge I set up a heirarchy of keywords.
United States
|___ Colorado
|___ Denver
In this scenario when I selected Denver, Colorado and United States were also selected. When I perform the same operation in LR3 only "Denver" is selected. I should point out that the selected image has no keywords applied before I select "Denver." Where is the preference located that will allow me to change this behavior? I want Colorado and United States to be applied when I choose United States.
Thank you

When you apply a subkeyword to an image, the containing keywords are implicitly applied to the image within the catalog. In your example, when you apply Denver to an image, Colorado and United States are also implicitly applied.
When you search for a keyword using the Library Filter Bar, Smart Collections, or the right-panel Keyword List, LR will always include images with the keyword's contained subkeywords. For example, if you search for United States, LR will also include Colorado and Denver.
There are a couple of ways to control how LR writes the keywords into files' metadata:
Right-click a keyword in the Keyword List pane, select Edit, and check/uncheck the option Export Containing Keywords. When checked, LR will write the containing keywords of the keyword into files' metadata when you do Save Metadata To File or when you export the image. In your example, if an image is tagged with Denver, then when the option is checked, Colorado and United States will also be written to the image's metadata.
When LR writes keywords to a cataloged file's metadata, it stores the plain keywords in the standard metadata fields (XMP:Subject, IPTC:Keywords). It also stores fully qualified hierarchical keywords in the field XMP:HiearchicalSubject (e.g. "United States|Colorado|Denver"). You can control whether that metadata field is added to images exported by File > Export using the export option Metadata > Write Keywords As Lightroom Heirarchy.

GPU acceleration not working when exporting images on Lightroom CC

I was monitoring CPU & GPU while exporting a timelapse sequence:
As you can see, GPU is idle when exporting images - CPU does all the work. So GPU is used only when moving the sliders in the Develop module for a fast preview of an image you are working on, but for export it isn't used.
What's your opinion? I'd like to have exports accelerated too. I was hoping for it. Exporting timelapses is really time consuming.
Adobe pls?

I couldn't find the Cuda-Supported-Cards.txt file at first, didn't know about right-click .app file "show package contents", but then found it. I also searched for the hack and some people said delete the file, others said add your Graphics cards to the file, others said add your graphics card to the the Opencl_supported_cards.txt file. I added my card to the Cuda-Supported-Cards.txt first, and it didn't work. I left the graphics card in that file, but also added it to the Opencl_supported_cards.txt file and now it works. Thanks so much.

Colour washed out when using image processor in Bridge CS6

Hi there
I hope somebody can help please?!
I am editing raw files in Camera Raw 8.2, then using image processor through Bridge CS6 to save them as both jpegs and tiffs.
I am finding the colour on the saved files is coming out a little washed out and faded.
If I open them individually and save them in PS6 as jpeg and tiffs, the colour remains vibrant and true to the original raw file.
I have thousands of these files to go through and don't have time to open each one individually in this way so I am desperate to automate this process while still retaining the great colour in the original shots.
Can anyone tell me why the shots are coming out this way and help offer a solution for me please?
Any advice would be massively appreciated!
Many thanks
Benny P

Hi,
Do you have Include ICC Profile checked at the bottom of the Image Processor dialog?

Knockout Group option not applied when saving to pdf

Hi!
Been working on a logo that features a realistic looking brushstroke - meaning vectorising the project features hundreds of differently shaded layers. The logo features a flower shape layer that needs to be cut out of the logo.
Question shortly: Is there a way to cut out the outline of the shape on a group that features 'say hundred' layers in different colours (about 30)
I've tried (without a desired result):
- Pathfinder - Minus Front (with click) not working with this group
- Pathfinder - Minus Front (alt/option + click) making it a compound path - not working because it turns the whole group into one colour
- Knockout Group option under opacity settings, which initially worked - but saving the file to pdf, the knockout group option is not working. It's either disabled or the flower shapes as knockout group are white.
Im using Adobe Illustrator CC
Thanks!

The "mask" object is not in the "Opacity Mask" thumbnail area in your first image. Make sure you layer the flower above the object(s), select all and choose "Make Opacity Mask" from the Transparency Panel flyout menu. This will make the top-most object a mask. You'll need to then turn OFF "clip" so the portion outside the mask is visible.
Should look something like this:
You can have more than one item on the Opacity mask and of different values. Color is ignored.
Please note: When first creating an Opacity mask AI will only recognize the top object (or compound shape). Thereafter, you can edit and create objects on the mask at will, just like working in normal mode. By default only the mask's "effect" is visible. To view ONLY the mask OPTION+Click the Mask thumbnail.
