Adjustments panel is blank

Don't know what happened but, Library, Metadata tabs display correctly. The Adjustments tab, when I click on it, goes to that panel but now I only see drop down menues for "Presets" and "Adjustments". The Presets drop down menu displays presets that are grayed out. The Adjustments drop down only has "Quick Brushes" that I can then access. The "Gear" icon to the right of the Adjustments drop down menu has only grayed out selections.
Ii used to be when I went to the Adjustments tab I could then adjust white balance, shadows, etc; Now there is nothing. I don't recall changing any settings. Maybe it's a simple thing, I don't know. But, it IS frustrating. Any help very much appreciated.

Never mind! Somehow "Quick Preview" was selected and unselecting it brought the panel back. Whew!
Still, it troubles me because I'm pretty certain I never selected it in the first place.

Is there a way to make the flyout window for the adjustments panel close automatically?

The flyout window for the tool on the adjustments panel is OK, although I'm not thrilled that it takes up space inside of the image. Is there a way to either make it open within the panel the way it did in CS5 or close automatically when you have finished making adjustments?

Just to help with terminology in the future...
The Adjustments is not in itself normaly called a ''flyout window'', and it operates like other panels and responds to the settings R_Kelly has mentioned.
There's a menu sometimes called the ''fly-out menu'' that you get when you click the little icon at the upper-right corner of the Adjustments panel.
I just wanted to mention the distinction because experts may at first be confused if you describe a panel itself as ''flyout'', even though that's what they do.

Bridge Output panel is blank in right-hand window

After opening the Output panel in Adobe Bridge CS5 the right hand panel is blank...nor PDF button, no formatting options....nothing. I've tried several times to reinstall the output module without success. Any suggestions?

If it worked before and you have changed nothing I would reset the preferences. Close Bridge then hold down the CTRL key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 optons.

CS4 - original dialog boxes instead of adjustments panels?

Is it possible to have the original curves or levels (or whatever) dialog boxes open when double clicking adjustment layers, or are we stuck with the adjustments panels? The original dialog boxes, which are the same as those that can still be accessed via the standard ctrl-m, ctrl-l, are larger and allow finer adjustments.
I know I can enlarge the new adjustments panels a bit, but they are still 30-40% smaller than the original dialog boxes from CS3 and earlier.
I guess my question boils down to whether or not we can turn off the new adjustments panels?
Thanks,
Chuck

It's true that the new Adjustment Curves panel is smaller than the "non-layered" Curves panel but the important part - the actual curves grid - can be made identical in size. In other words, the new Adjustment panel has less clutter!

Aperture 3.3 after recent upgrade doesn't show icons in colour and I noticed the adjustments panel seems a bit different from the previous update.

I updated about a week ago an now all the icons are no longer in colour (ie, project, smart album etc) Really liked to see them in colour because it helped me sort more easily. Also, I seem to be missed my quick adjustments panel like auto adjust. I checked the aperture preferences but could not find anyway to correct.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Frank. Once I posted, I was able to find all the other discussions regarding this. I don't have time to manually change what Apple should have put into preferences. Will manage with it the way it is and send a request to Apple for future updates.

Add ability to change height of Adjustments Panel

The Adjustments panel is a great addition! However, I'm finding its fixed height to be hogging scarce screen space. I would like to be able to resize the panel as I can do with other panels such as Layers/Paths/Channels. I would often hide the window showing presets. In fact, perhaps simply a control, "Hide/Show Presets" would work. I don't want to close the entire panel because I want the collection of adjustment icons to be visible. I'm using them often. I do not use the presets often (yet).
On my 15" laptop, by the time I have the Adjustments and Layers panels open, there is no room left for essentials such as Histogram/Info/Navigator.

For those of you bothered by the new Adjustments Panel, I just want to let you know what I am doing and see if you might want to try it.
I pulled the Adjustments Panel out onto my image and I leave it there. I condense it to the mini-icon when I don't want to see it but the interesting thing is that most of the time the mini-icon doesn't even show.
If I select a new or existing adjustments layer from the layers panel, the Adjustments Panel just pops back up on top of the image. For me this is a good compromise between the way it used to work and the way it works now. I have the benefits (being able to change blend mode with the adjustments dialog still up, for example) but without the penalties (space in my panels area). I think it is also a good option for dual-screen users and users who like to have things like Curves right on top of the image where they don't have to be shifting their eyes.
Anyway, thought I would share. :)

Panel tab shows up, but panel is blank

Hello Everyone,
I've created a File Info for CS5 panel using the generic panel. As I've been working on it, it shows up just fine on my workstation. The panel's folder has been distributed to three other workstations, and on two of them only the name on the panel's tab shows up and the panel is blank. On the third one, it shows up just fine. The panel folder has been placed into "Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Adobe:XMP:Custom File Info Panels:3.0:panels" on every workstation. All of the workstations are Mac's. All of the Mac's have the same OS and up to date CS5 installations. I think I'm overlooking the obvious and I just don't see it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Dave

Hi Dave,
from what I read I guess that you have distributed the panel, but not the Flash Player trust file to the workstations.
It has to be installed (or manually created) on each workstation in the path:
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash
Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust
You create a text file "MyTrustFile.cfg" which contains your panel path in a single line (using slashes, not colons).
You can find more details in our SDK programmers guide.
Hope this helps,
Stefan Makswit

Adjustments Panel Useless Now?

Ive been using cs6 at work and at home and I used to use adjustments panel a lot. However it doesnt really do anything anymore (i use layers window for creating adjustment effects anyway) now that property window is available. Should adjustments window be taken away? Or should properties? None? If so why?
Also while im here i should also say that theres a bug i get at work on cs6 but now at home. I try to create a color balance adjustment layer and it will keep creating a levels. I think this is only one a file by file basis though because sometimes it does work.
One last thing, it would be nice to be able to pan around the canvas anytime I want. Cs6 auto snaps everything to the center of the canvas even more so than cs5. I can only pan if I zoom in first.

Noel, that is interesting indeed. So your main monitor is completely clean other than the Options bar? What aspect ratio is your main monitor? Mine is 1920 x 1200, and with the options bar reducing the height, I seldom have an image file that needs the full width of the screen, so I have a number of panels on fly-outs top right corner. The tool bar is probably more useful as a visual reference than to be clicked on, because Iike most everyone here, I use shortcuts, or Shift shortcut to toggle through a tool's options. Plus I have removed the shortcut from those items I never or rarely use, so I can toggle through the others more quickly. You can free up some shortcut letters that way, like H for the Hand tool (because we always use the Space bar) so H becomes available for an Action or similar.
I don't see your Adjustments panel, but I remember you saying you use the pop-up at the bottom of the Layers panel. That still leaves me wondering why your Properties panel is so far away? You've got more screen real-estate for your Histogram than for your Layers! I use my eyes for colour, and sometimes wish I had more than the full screen height for layers, (I often have a hundred plus) but I am stoked with the new layer filters. Thanks for that Adobe.
Actions. I seldom use them, and know I should. Something like expanding a selection is an irritating number of clicks, and something I use a lot. But I am far to much an image control freak to trust to one click solutions most of the time.
I'm looking at your navigator panel, and thinking I don't need the navigator tool, but I have never thought to use it as a full image preview. Now that would be useful. At the moment when I need to see full image preview while working at high zoom ratios, I have the same image tiled twice on my main screen. I have played with the idea of installing an extra graphics card so I could have a third monitor. Just a little 17inch one that could sit on my seldom used picture printer (I use an office printer for everything else).
Yes. Thanks for the ideas. I go to a lot of conferences through the various community organisations I work for, and always think the networking and exchange of ideas, is more useful than the main program.
[EDIT] I'd love to hear/see other people's ideas about workspaces and workflow.

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads; the output panel is blank. Where is the script?

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads after my system back-up; the output panel is blank.
The other Workspace features appear to be functional.
What/Where is the output script supposed to be?

Inbox message panel is blank, but I know that messages have been received

I am able to send messages, and receive them, but I can't see the received messages. My POP3 inbox message panel is blank yet the Inbox indicator at the left says 10 messages. I can hear new messages come in, but I can't view them. I repaired permissions, but that didn't work. I can see them on my MBP, but not on the desktop iMac. Advice please.

I am unable to rebuild the mailbox (greyed out) or solve the problem. However I did a workaround by creating a new mailbox and directing messages to it via a rule. Apparently no one else has had this strange problem with no apparent solution.

I can't find the Adjustments panel window (exposure, saturation etc). it is hidden. How can I get it back?

When I select Adjust on toolbar, the Adjustments panel window (Exposure, saturation etc) does not appear - it always has before but is hidden somewhere. I can't see it on edge of screen. How can I get it back, please?

Thanks Terence. I would never have thought of that. I appreciate your time.

"Effects" panel empty/blank in CS6?

I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac OS 10.9.3. Every time I open Adobe Premiere Pro, regardless of the project, the Effects Panel (not the control panel) is empty/blank. There is nothing typed in the search field, and if I do type something or click a type filter icon, the side bar for that panel appears and changes sizes. Creating a new Bin does nothing. Importing Preset does nothing.
From another user account, the effects panel appears normal, so the problem is user specific. I've already had to create another user account from scratch last time I had a problem with the program (instant crash while loading in splash screen), and I really would like to avoid doing this again. I've deleted preferences manually and by starting the program holding Shift+Alt. I've emptied the cache. I've repaired permissions. Same problem persists.

Did things one at a time before, but this time I repaired permissions, then Trashed the 2 Premiere .com preference files and the Premiere and the PProHeadless (the one thing I did not delete before) folders in Preferences>Adobe in the User Library. Trashed the User>Documents>Adobe>Premiere Folder. Then I manually deleted all the Cache folders. Doing it all (or some combination) seemed to do the trick. Effects now show in the panel.

Why is my links panel totally blank for everything now?

Dont know what is going on but now with every existing or new document I start with images, the links panel is totally blank. I cant find any way to get anything to show in that panel anymore. I have restarted several times and that isnt fixing anything. What is causing this and how do I fix?
