Blending mode not looking correct

Hey all. I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Mac (OS X 10.8.2), and I've run into a wierd problem I've never seen before. I'm creating a seperate layer over a photo, and filling that layer with 50% gray. I then set that layer's blending mode to Overlay. When things are working correctly (and they always have in the past) setting the 50% gray layer to Overlay should render that layer invisible, and it should have no visual effect on the photo underneath. Suddenly this is not the case, and it looks like the grayscale in the photo beneath the gray layer is much brighter. What's really weird is that I tried to recreate this problem on a couple of other pic files, and the Overlay blending mode works fine there! So the problem seems to be only with this one file. Changing the file from CMYK to RGB seems to lessen the effect, but it's still present. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm totally stumped. Any help or ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Well, here's a screenshot of my layers pallette, if that's any help. I'd be glad up upload any other setting shot that would help. Thank you.

  • Website fonts does not look correct.

    When I open some sites it does not show the font clearly and very difficult to read. IE or chrome usage looks good which I am doing now. Want to use Firefox again.
    Firefox version: 28.0
    OS: Windows 7.
    Example site: http://www.ndtv.com/news/
    Troubleshooting.
    Without addon: Same issue
    Safe mode: Same Issue
    New profile for firefox: same issue.
    Even for this site the font are not looking correct.

    Could you check Windows 7's ClearType settings? Unlike IE, Firefox relies on your Windows 7 settings for anti-aliasing.
    Did the font quality change suddenly and, if so, can you associate it with any Firefox or Windows updates? Or graphics card driver updates?
    This site uses a font named Open Sans which is downloaded. If Firefox isn't able to download the font, it will substitute something it believes is similar. Perhaps you are getting a terrible substitution??

  • Blend Modes not working in CS6

    My blend modes aren't working. If I try to apply a blend mode, no effect.

    Hi, Noel. I'm very new at this, so I'll try to give you as much information as I can. Using blend mode on the single merged layer was working for me several hours ago. My process was Gaussian bur on layer, blend mode set to multiply on layer, and then desaturate. When blend mode was working, desaturation looked kinda funny (something wasn't right). I'm following this tutorial: http://wegraphics.net/blog/tutorials/how-to-design-a-vintage-style-ski-poster-in-photoshop /
    I tried adding a new layer under the old layer, but still not working. How do I set new layer as a background? I have no intent to save it as a partially transparent PNG.

  • Blending modes not working in CS6

    High everybody, i am working in cs6 and starting to frustrate more and more, tried everything and nothing seems to work. Layer blending modes just seems to stop working at one moment, or at certain layers, i dont know. I have two layers one on top of other, and when i set blending mode on top layer everything just goes white, I will post screenshot of my ps, so if anybody can help me pls.. Thanks!
    .

    I wanted to do some quick tutorial and this is the one i chose to kill boredom... http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/designing-tutorials/creating-a-cool-3d-web-design-effect / (step 10) if you have time look into it.
    The guy copies white rectangular background layer with radial gradient fx (dark red) on top, disables gradient and applies pattern overlay fx with overlay blend mode, so he just inserts pattern onto header layer and result is header with radial gradient and pattern, i know what you are saying and probably know how to do it some other way, but i am really buged how he did it, is it because he worked in older v. of ps?
    p.s. this means then that in order for pattern overlay fx to work in overlay blend mode - shapes must have color (not working when colored with #fff or #000) - right?
    Thanx

  • Yesterday all web sites were fine, now some websites are fine, some are slow, some do not look correctly

    I am using a Dell inspiron 1525, running Windows XP, Firefox 5.0 both OS and Firefox have the latest patches and fixes applied. Yesterday all websites were loading, responding and appearing properly. Today some are working properly and some are slow and do not appear correctly. No updates were applied in the last three days. To make matters even more confusing, When I us IE, the sites work correctly. I believe it is something with this laptop because Firefox 5.0 works just fine with all sites on a different machine which runs Windows 7. I tried re-installing Firefox 5.0, going back to 4.0.2, 4.0.1, all resulting in the same outcome. I ran a virus scan and nothing was found.
    Any insight you can provide would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Illustrator CC Layer Blending Modes not working

    Did Adobe do something to Illustrator CC that the layers with the same object colors are no longer blending. No matter what blend mode I apply the object never blends with the object with the same color behind it
    Any ideas?

  • Blend Mode Not Working

    My blend mode isn't working for anything, any ideas? Thank you.

    You don’t seem to understand what Blend Modes mean.
    The Blend Mode works fine but in the absence of a background the pixels are being displayed against the transparent background grid.

  • My colors do not look correct in the colors window

    This is kind of hard to describe and I wish I could show you a screen shot but my colors do not look like the default colors when I first installed CS4.
    So for my lack of ability to explain my problem very well, how do I reset CS4 to show me the original color pallet?
    Thanks in advance

    Are you talking about the colour
    picker
    If so, click on the radio button next to the "H".

  • AVCHD 24P Cinema mode not importing correctly

    Hey,
    I have posted a few times about this issue, and each time I get a little closer to solving the problem. I am hoping this is the final time.
    I have a Panasonic AVCHD HDC-SD9 Hi Def video camera. I recorded a comedy show of mine the other night, and when I try to import the footage into FCP, the audio and video don't sync.
    After many troubleshooting experiments, I figured out that the audio is importing at the correct rate, but the video is not.
    The video was shot in "24p Cinema Mode" I shot some "bs" footage both with this mode on and this mode off. Whenever it was on the footage would be imported at 24fps and the audio would get out of sync. Whenever this mode was OFF, the footage would import at 29.98 fps and everything will be fine.
    I really feel I am just missing something simple like a drop down menu option or something, but just can't figure it out. Any help will be appreciated.

    To be very clear, for this 7.1 release, we are only supporting CinemaDNG media from the Blackmagic Camera. No other format is being supported at this time. The pink overlay problem with DNG derived from Canon RAW media is a known issue.
    We are currently in discussions of how to expand our CinemaDNG support going forward, and user input is a vital factor. Nonetheless, Premiere support for the CinemaDNG format is different from the support in other Adobe applications. For more on this, see the section "Enhanced BlackMagic Cinema Camera support" at this link:

  • Sleep Mode not functioning correctly after Mac OSX 10.6.5 update

    Hi
    I have a Macbook Model Identifier 5,1. (1st gen Alum Macbook). I notice that after I updated to 10.6.5, I have a problem going to sleep mode. When I click on sleep, it will blacken the screen but the LED screen still glows. Usually, it glows for a few second and then the LED powers down so it will be completely dark. Now it just hangs there. I have to use the power down fucntion by pressing it for 4 seconds.
    I tried disk utility repair permissions. ANy suggestions?

    Hi
    I have similar problem with MacBook White Identifier 6.1. I have update 10.6.5 and I have a lot of problems with my MacBook. This problem is one of them. My MacBook also often show message Kernel Panic and I can use only power button. It is not good when arrange photos or do other things.
    Update 10.6.4 was very good. I didn't have any problem. If I have version 10.6.5, can I return to version 10.6.4?
    I don't know, what I can do. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • PDFs generated by our Fusion 11g Reports Server do not look correct on iPhone and some Chrome machines

    We auto generate PDF reports from our Oracle Fusion Report Server running on Windows.  The PDFs look fine on our Windows machines but they lose their formatting on iPhones, iPads and even some Windows Chrome browsers.   I checked the Properties of the PDF and fast-web view is disabled on the PDFs.  Has anyone had this issue and found a solution?  I am trying to find where I can modify the PDF settings so I can perhaps try to embed fonts or play with the settings to see if anything makes a difference.
    Thank you.

    This forum is for the Oracle Maven Repository.  Looks like you may have posted in the wrong forum.  You might want to try posting in a forum for Forms and Reports - there are likely to be people reading those forums that know much more about those products.

  • A page that looked fine in the last version does not look correct at all in 3.6.3, although it looks fine in both IE6 and IE8

    This is a log-in page, which points to our email registration software's server (Tikit's Emerge Reaction Server). If you open in it in the last version of FF, it looks as expected. The page renders fine in IE6 and IE8, and all our other website pages (www.mofo.com) render fine in both ver. of FF - its just the pages that point to our emerge-reaction server site that won't render properly. Tikit says we are the only user having this problem, and they don't know what the problem is caused by. Help!?

  • InCopy Layout Mode not displaying correctly.

    I have a layout that I (designer) have created in InDesign. I have created the assignments and packaged for InCopy, but when the editor gets the InCopy file the "Layout" view displays the layout incorrectly which throws off the text for the entire document making it illegible in Layout mode.
    Has anyone else had this problem? or know of a fix?
    I can provide the file if anyone thinks they can help me troubleshoot.

    Jenny, this has happened to me in the past, and I was able to troubleshoot it to some corruption that came over from QXP (the layout was converted from an XPress layout). Apparently the INDD format is more forgiving than the INCA format when there are glitches.
    Just throwing it out there ... I just needed to rejigger some paragraph styles in the INDD file to fix the problem, as I recall.
