Can't delete layer in photoshop

Sorry this was the closest forum I could find.
I added a layer in a photoshop to change the skin tone of a photo slightly. However, I am not happy with it, but when I delete the layer nothing changes. It seems I can delete the layer, but the actual effect remains. Does anyone have any idea how I can delete the layer and remove any effects within the layer at the same time?
Many thanks

Can't delete Layer Mask content in PS CS4.

I am completely baffled with this and am thinking that it's something obvious I am just missing.
I have a photo open and click on the "Create new fill or adjustments layer" button at the bottom of the Layers panel.
In CS3 I able to create a layer (say Levels) and apply it, then select the eraser tool and delete sections of that adjustment layer that I did not want revealing an unaltered section of the original photo behind it.
I can not seem to do this in CS4. I can add the layer and select the eraser tool but it will not delete anything.
:s Help??
Thanks.

In photoshop elements 12 I try to delete a folder but the delete option is grayed out. how can I delete a folder from my catalogue?

how can I delete folders from photoshop elements 12. the option to delete is grayed out an I don't know what the alternative options are

Got it fixed! The Folder was set to Open With Terminal!
Maybe when you moved it over from your other system, the Open With got changed? To change this, in your Finder, select the iPhoto library from your User/Pictures folder and do a Get Info on it Command+I.
Then change the Open With to iPhoto application!
Then from the Finder, double click the iPhoto Folder and it will be opened with iPhoto! WALLA it worked!

You updated Quicktime or your Windows Media Architecture, used a different CoDec in your video, use an incompatible Codec to begin with. Furthermore, you could have upgraded your graphics card drivers, messing around with hardware accelerated playback. Really not clear. you need to provide more info about the matter, even more so, as you use non-standard video player software in your demonstration video and it's unclear, if any other tool based on Windows Media Architecture or QT would play the videos without problems. and please, don't use excessive formatting in your posts, it is bad conduct and very impolite to "scream".

An update -
The libraries appear to all be in tact, now.
The error I am getting,
Parms are; 800/S80/5069660
ERROR - detected an exception: Unexpected database connector error
is a connection issue.
Any ideas??

Can't delete folder until I quit InDesign and Photoshop

I'm sure this has been covered but I can't find it anywhere.
I'm cleaning house; working in Windows Explorer on Windows 7. I look at files in InDesign CS5 and Photoshop CS5, close the files delete them but I can't delete the folder that contained them until I quit InDesign and Photoshop. I remember this from previous versions also.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks, Sidney

I have that annoying problem too, have a look at this thread. I haven't tried that fix because the trial doesn't work on deleting files, only copying and the website is terrible.

Can't create blank video layer in photoshop CS

Why can't I create a blank video layer in photoshop CS? (Mac)

yes i just did. no change in menus.
and yeah creating new normal layers does create blank video layers but the keyframe animation doesn't work. i have to position the layers one after the other so it looks like something animated, it's ridiculous.
sorry for posting three pictures but here i hope this clarifies things a little

CC 2014 uses NEW plugins https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1499663
-so do not uninstall the older CC programs if you use plugins in your programs

How can I stop Layer Comps slowing down Photoshop

Hi all,
This topic has been discussed in other threads, but always without resolution. So as I have just encountered this problem today, I thought I would post the issue again to hopefully capture fresh attention.
I just moved back over from Fireworks to Photoshop, mainly to make use of Layer Comps for displaying multiple states of my UI design. Everything was going swimmingly, but when I reached about 40 layer comps, Photoshop suddenly slowed, or at least the use of the Photoshop file with multiple layer comps slowed. If I try and drag objects/layers, they move painfully slow, making it unusable. If I remove all of the layer comps, everything speeds up again.
I thought there might be a memory issue (as in I had run out!), but if I open two versions of the same file, one with the layer comps, one without, the one without works fine, but the one with the layer comps is slow. If it were a memory issue, surely both files open at the same time would be slow, as would the rest of Photoshop?
I'm not sure how many layers I have, but the file is about 20mb in size, so not huge.
I find layer comps extremely useful for UI design and certainly expected to make use of more than 40. Does anyone know of any fix or anyway of making this work? I wonder if the next CC version of Photoshop will have improved it.
Thanks for any advice you might have.
Alex

Yes, I can't help but feel it is some kind of bug. If it were my PC running out of memory, then I would imagine both open photoshop files would run slowly, rather than just the one with the layer comps (while the other open file runs perfectly).

Thanks for the links, Limnos.
If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
username-->Music-->iTunes
HD-->iTunes
I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
- I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
- also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
You say:
/itunes/itunes media/ music
but it is important to note what comes before all that.
There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
Does that give more clarity into my problem?

PS CS5 - Can I automate deleting layer comps?

I have about 50 files that need their layer comps deleted. I need a way to automate this. Is there a way?
Thanks

If your a programmer you may be able to write a Photoshop script to do that. One may have been written. Do a web search for a Photoshop script for deleting layer comps.

Hi there, I have photoshop cc and photoshop cc2014, can I delete photoshopcc?

I have 2 version of photshop, cc and cc2014, can I delete cc?
thanks

Remember that Photoshop CC 2014 is without Minibridge and some third party plugins are not updated. If any issues with CC 2014 arise during a project with a seven hour deadline, CC is good backup.
That being said, use the uninstallers provided for Mac and Windows to cleanly delete CC.

How can you erase part of the black & white layer on Photoshop CS6?

I've been trying to earse part of the b&w layer to have color pop because it's easier for some floweres instead of magic lassoing. Unfortunatly my earser tool will not let me earse some of the black and white layer. What can I do to fix this issue?

Try using a Layer Mask, and paint black on the mask to cause the Black and White adjustment to become "transparent" in those areas and reveal color.
If you cause the transparency to go outside the bounds of what you want, paint white on the Layer Mask to make it apply the adjustment layer effect again.
Grayscale on the Layer Mask will cause partial transparency.
Have fun discovering the neat stuff you can do with Layer Masks.
