Adjustment layers not working CC

Hi all,
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I am trying to get a solid adjustment fill layer to clip to the layer below it. I can get the little bent arrow and the layer it is clipped to is underlined, but the screen is still filled solid with the fill layer's color. It is not acting as expected and masking to the black lines of a black and white drawing, just filling the whole canvas with color.
I have tried resetting my pref files and tried it on another computer. I am fairly certain the issue is an ID10T error on my part.
Thanks so much,
Corey

There is no transparency/ mask channel anywhere in your setup, so I'm not sure what you expect. Linking a solid background layer with another layer - umm - leaves it solid at 100% opacity. You realyl need to watch a tutorial on how to do this the right way...

Adjustment layers not working in CMYK MODE?

Hi Guys
I have a photoshop issue and was wondering if you could shed any light on the matter?
When ever i set my document to CMYK mode, some of my adjustment layers become 'un-selectable' such as the Black & White, vibrance and the exposure adjustment layers?
They work fine in RGB mode but was curious if this was common place?
Any information woould be greatful

but surely the black and white one does? or am i wrong there?
It would seem you are.
You can still use Hue/Saturation as a work-around.
how do i go about finding that particular thread?
That’s no thread but a headline in the Help; personally I prefer to download the pdf:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/index.html
I am working in cmyk as the poster i am producing is for print, so the document is put into that mode for that purpose.
If you are using/combining photographic images this approach may not be ideal and incurs the risk of overshooting the TAC.
On the other hand if you have lots of text, fine lines or other elements that are supposed to, for example, print in pure black working in CMYK would be called for.

Editing Adjustment Layers Not Working

Using Photoshop Elements 10. I am unable to edit an Adjustment Layer. When I doubleclick the layer thumbnail or click layer content options, nothing happens. This is the case with new files as well as files that had adjustment layers created with Photoshop Elements 6. Fill layers work ok, but adjustment layers such as Levels and Hue/Saturation won't work....need help desperately.
Thanks

Good evening. I am using PSE 11 Mac version and I am having the same issue as the original post. I am unable to edit adjustment layers. No problem with fill layers.
I have tried your solution, which worked on deleting the file, but PSE 11 is still not letting me do anything with the adjustment layers.
As an FYI, I am also unable to select any of the "Window" menu selections, such as "Actions", "Histogram", etc. I am attaching a quick screen capture to show the menue that I am talking about.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Adjustment Layers not working in Actions CC

I am attempting to use the actions panel to edit a large number of product shots quickly. I have disabled the generator, which was a possible solution I saw in another post, closed my photoshop, opened it up again and tried it on a new file. None of my adjustment layers do what I set them out to do, but they do show up as layers in my layers panel. The only part of the action that works is my smart sharpen. I created the actions in CC and I don't know where to go next.

Now that you disabled the generator plugin, you probably need to record the actions again, because having the generator plugin enabled, plays havoc on
recording actions. (some stuff is not properly recorded with the generator plugin enabled)

Effects on adjustment layers not working in PPro CC 2014

I am trying to use an adjustment layer to add an effect to my entire project (about 3 minutes). When I add the adjustment layer and the effect, nothing happens. I can apply the effect directly to a clip and it works fine.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Thanks for the help,
Catherine

Mmmm.. maybe there is indeed an issue with the adjustment layer, I have a project that I opened up and wherever I have adjustment layers, they all show as black image...if I check off the effect, then i see my footage underneath.. but as soon as I add an effect (in this case, brightness and contrast + Tint), then it goes to black... changing the blend mode doesn't do anything either...

Adjustment layers not working in CS4

I just installed Photoshop CS4 and I can create an adjustment layer, but the editing box for that particular adjustment layer does not come up. It works just fine in CS3 on the same computer. I have a G5 (non Intel). Any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks, Beth

Look at the Adjustments Panel.. new in CS4. Window > Adjustments
There are no dialog boxes anymore.

Edit adjustment layers not working

When I add an adjustment layer, it adds the layer but I am unable to make any changes and there is no 'pop-up' box. I can rename the layer by clicking it but it doesn't open the editing box. It worked before the last Photoshop update 5 days ago.

Adjustment Layers Not Functioning

I have Photoshop CS6 and suddenly I am unable to use adjustment layers. I've been using Photoshop for over 15 years, and the procedure has always been the same; create an adjustment layer then click the circle on the left of that layer, and a dialog box appears where the curves, levels and such may be controlled. Clicking on this circle no longer produces the dialog box.

Thanks again Gene. In the past I've had to throw out the prefs file more than once but it's been so long I forgot that. I don't want to upgrade my OS because I've heard this and that about the higher systems. But what plugins would you recommend?
Not to pester you, though. If you don't want to respond I won't pursue it. Keep up your good work.

Adjustment layers not 'sticking' on animated GIFs

I'm trying to adjust brightness/contrast and saturation over about 30 layers on an animated GIF. Everything looks great until I do a save for web and click on the animate box. At that point, the color/changes drop off completely. It shows up fine when it's just the one layer being shown. And it seems to be showing up on all the layers when I'm in the main edit window. I keep looking and making sure I have the 'this adjustment affects all layers below,' and I do. I even tried saving a GIF with the other setting turned on and I got the same thing.
Anyway, I exported a few GIFs, thinking maybe the adjustment layers would kick in as it saved, but nope. Neither layer saved into the exported GIF.
I'm sure this is just a simple setting I'm missing, but I'm banging my head against the desk at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks! I'm still trying my best to sort out why the adjustment layers drop off when I go to animate the GIF ... BUT I did duplicate the adjustment layers -- one for each frame -- and then clicked on the adjustment layers and selected layer and merged them one at a time and it worked. It's still more tedious than I hoped, but not as tedious as trying to adjust each layer on its own and having to input the same exact settings for each layer.
I would still be interested in anyone else's take/advice on applying adjustments to all the layers in an image at the same time and having it cary through to 'save for web.' Animated GIFs are so simple in theory, but I'm finding them to be absolutely one of the most frustrating and tedious things to try and edit/create.

Adjustment layers not opening mask anymore

On my laptop I choose an adjustment option and it creates a new layer and layer mask. On the imac it only creates the layer with the adjustment. I have to manually add the mask.
I can't find a preference or setting or anything to get the two to behave the same way.
Regards,
Kelly

Inconsistent from Photoshop UI as well as from Actions. And becase I know what will cause them to fail. I can create actions and scripts that I know will work no matter how they are set. The step will work the same way no matter which way the options are set.
For example disable add layer mask you wrote you have no problem doing that. Do a Ctrl+A (select all) then add an levels adjustment layer to the current layer. You will find that the levels adjustment layer is added with a layer mask. Photoshop will work that way in actions and from its UI. So I can record and add adjustment layer and know for sure a layer mask will be added no matter how a user set the fly-out option. I can also use Photoshop menu Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Type. And in its dialog I can Check use previous layer to create clipping mask. The Adjustment layer will be clipped no matter which way the fly-out option is set.
These options breakes Photoshop original design they are bad options and their implementation is poor. Actions and scripts can not set these options. Scripts can not find out how they are set either. You write Plug-ins do you add adjustment layers in any of them?
Without using these bugs automating adjustment layers is hit and miss. You would not know the state of the adjustment layer you would not know if you had to add a layer mask or modify or replace the existing mask. You would not know if the adjustment layer applied to all lower layer or just the previous layer.
Its a good thing you don't use such action for they could have problems....

Adjustment layer not working (has no effect)

I'm having a problem with adjustment layers... Here's what works :
- I can add an effect (Blur) to a normal layer, and I see what it does in the Comp preview window and when I render the movie.
What doesn't work :
- I add an adjustment layer above everything in the timeline, add an effect (Blur) to this layer, but then nothing happens neither in the Comp preview window or the final render !!
I've tried moving layers around, enabling anything related to effects, and still haven't managed to get this to work.
After effects 6.5 (old I know... but it works just like CS3 & others, and just takes 150MB of disk space !!)
Win XP
Any ideas ?
Thanks !!

Of course! how silly,
http://imgur.com/RfyegUk
In all the video tutorials I've seen, I've done almost the exact same manipulations and they always have the effect visible in the "XYZ Comp" window. Not on my machine, and not even when I render the final movie. Very frustrating.
Thanks

Layout adjustment sometimes not working

I'm in a bit of a panic here. We've set up a file that we're due to deliver to a client today, the file has multiple master pages with various margins.
Normally in this type of situation we turn on the layout adjustment so that the text frame moves with the margins when the new master is applied. Normally this works just fine, we use it all the time, but for some reason its randomly NOT working! i.e. the text frame stays the size it was.
There doesn't seem to be any ryme or reason to it, sometimes its a left page, sometimes a right page.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ken

Yeah, I tried. Nothing seems to work all the time as is usually does.
I'll have to look again and see if I can find some correlation with the
pages that do not adjust.
Oy!
Thanks again

Showing layers not working in 9.3.3

Hi, I have not working pdf file http://db.tt/zdUC1H and problem is, that showing layers doesn't work in acrobat pro extended 9.3.3 but it's actually working in 9.3.1 as well as in acrobat pro 8.
When I enable error console this is what I get
GeneralError: Operation failed.
ScriptProxy.createNewLayersManagerObject:17:Doc undefined:Exec
Line: 1: Code: 2(0x2): host is undefined
I don't know, what's wrong

My copy of 9.3.3 says the file you have doesn't have any layers

Adjustment Brush not Working

in the Develop module my adjustment brush is not working, all the other sliders work, what is wrong?

Are you moving the sliders with the "pin" for your brushed area selected? When the "pin" is selected, it looks like a black circle surrounded by a very light gray circle and then a very thin black circle, like this:
What numbers do you move the sliders to?
Did you accidentally turn off the brush adjustments? The little doohickey highlighted in the red box, shown here, should be in the top position
Lastly, I am asking you to perform a very specific experiment, and report the results, and it does not appear that you have done so, or at least, you have not stated clearly that you have done so.
Please, click on "New" in the brush tool, then set Exposure to -4 and Flow to 100 and Density to 100, and brush. Report what happens.
