Adjustment Layers-- painting back over not working

I'm learning adjustment layers. When I try to reverse what I've painted out by inverting the brush color and painting, nothing happens, i.e. the original brushwork stays intact and doesn't reverse. There is no lock icon on the layer. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Sounds like you are working on the mask. Make sure your foreground and background colors are black and white (literally).
Make sure the correct layer is selected
Make sure the mask thumbnail is selected.
Make sure the brush settings are correct in the top toolbar, - normal blend mode, 100% opacity
Make sure the layers settings are correct - check blend mode and opacity
make sure no layer above that layer is affecting it.
If none of this works, capture your screen with the layers panel open and post it.

  • Why are the adjustment layers in my actions not working? (mac osx)

    I've just 'upgraded' to CC, and noticed that actions that alter Curves or levels adjustment layers do not play back correctly.
    The Action itself contains the right steps but nothing happens to the adjustment or the image. I use this a lot for my work and I really need some help
    I have a mac 10.7

    Are these actions you recorded in a previous version of photoshop?
    Did you try recording the action(s) in photoshop cc?
    Have you installed the 14.1.1 update for photoshop cc?
    Does it make any difference if you disable the Generator plugin under Photoshop>Preferences>Plug-Ins>Enable Generator?

  • The display speakers, the camera display, and all three USB outputs in the back are not working?

    The speakers, the camera display, and all the USB outputs in the back are not working.
    I was typing a paper last night when the electricity went off, and 5min later went back on, and all the display speakers, the camera display, and all the USB outputs in the back are not working.
    FYI, it's LED Cinema display.
    Solutions? Suggestions?

    Hi,
    Actually BACK is standard user command so it is not stopping and going to selection screen.
    Give some other use command like 'BCK' and try....

  • IPhone 4s back camera not working even after buying new iphone 4s

    Back when the ios 6 updates were coming out  in 2013 my iPhone 4 back camera stopped working, after trying way too many ways to reset the phone  and  finding others with this same issue I decided to start over I bought a new iPhone 4s so this one was better and 32gb instead of 16gb and it was 9 days later the back camera stopped working on my NEW iphone and still doesn't work to this day? What on earth should I do? How can this be fixed? I've tried hard reset, backing up the new phone, all the tricks I've tried on both phones do not work!!

    A new phone has a warranty.  So take it to an Apple store.  If they can't fix it, they will replace the phone.  Or do you mean: it stopped working after 9 days, but then you waited until the warranty ran out and then ask us?

  • Back arrow not working in Safari

    After a recent Maverick update, the 'back' arrow in Safari mostly will not work.  I have to go to 'Home' and start all over in my searches.  Very frustrating and a major waste of time.  Can anyone suggest what to do to fix this so I can use the back arrow each time I need to?  Thanks much. 

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

    I think this will be my last Iphone as apple never respondse in any case

    If you're expecting Apple to respond on this forum, you will have a long wait. This is a user-to-user technical support forum that is only hosted by Apple. This was made clear when you signed up. In any case, try the steps in this article to troubleshoot hardware issues (there is a camera section):

  • Ever since the last IOS update, my Iphone 5c has been acting weird. The time is always off; It says that its 9:30 in the morning when it's actually 2pm. I try to fix it, but it just goes back to not working. Please help!!

    I go to settings and switch "Automatic time" off and then back on. It works for a while, but then just goes back to being off. I've tried manually setting the time, but it just goes back to what it was before. If I send a text, it sends and then disapears. I can't see what I wrote! I went in to Apple to try and get it fixed, but they just restored my phone. It's still not working. Please help!

    It's not hacker or a virus. You are experiencing what a number of users of iOS 5 are experiencing now - sluggish or less than perfect iPad performance. It seems that for some of us - memory management has gotten a little out of whack with this most recent update. Some of the basic troubleshooting steps that you can try are ....
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Close apps in the recents tray. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If you have Safari crashing issues - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    None of these steps should be necessary as part of your daily routine - the iOS is supposed to handle all of this without any user input. Once again - for some of us - the iOS is letting us down.
    Until Apple releases another update that resolves this issue for the "few" that suffer, keep these steps in mind and use them as needed.

  • Back camera not working on iPhone 4S 7.0.4

    I had not issues from going to the new OS and everything worked fine.  Then there was small update for the OS 7. and now the back camera does not work.  It's either black or a grey image.  I have tried installing the suggest app "Awesome Camera" with no success of it helping.  I have done a full restart by clicking the home and power button.  I even tried to restore it on the computer and the camera still doesn't work.  Really hoping there's new update for this bug as I see my phone is not the only one.

    Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

  • Back Button not working in FireFox 4

    Is anyone else having trouble with the back and forward buttons not working in FireFox 4? I installed 4 on an XP desktop and a Vista 64 laptop, and the forward and back buttons don't work on either installation. Does anyone know a fix for this? I tried deleting the "places" files in the profile and that does not help.

    I am having a problem with the back button also in Firefox 4. Firefox forgets the 1st page in any new session or tab. If I open a tab to say bbc.com and navigate to guardian.com I can't click the back button to get back to bbc.com.

  • Adjustment tools in Camera Raw not working

    Downloaded CS 5 and opened Camera Raw, then attempted to use the adjustment tool and received the following message "Unable to create local adjustment.  All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image."  Can anyone provide assistance please and thanks?

    I had the same problem and tried turning of GPU in Photoshop and in Lightroom which did not work, however in the RAW window when I found the preferences tab which is the tab with the 3 horizontal lines and unchecked GPU there Camera Raw did start working and the blue screen was replaced by my image.  Hope this clarifies it more and you get yours to wok also!

  • Go back arrow not working in Safari

    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • The adjustment brush in Lightroom does not work

    The lightroom brush does not work.  The radial filter and graduated filters work.  How can I correct this?

    What isn't working? Explain a little bit about the problem. Also, what OS, what version of Lightroom, a few details to help us understand your situation really helps. If the problem is that you can't see the tool when it's activated, try pressing the H key which is the toggle switch to hide/show the tool. Another thing to look at is the the flow adjustment on the tool. Without more information, I could guess and guess and guess. But I would just be wasting my time and yours.
