Can't see layers in layers panel

I can't see any layers in the layers panel, it happens after working for a while, I tried:
-Resetting the workspace
-Switching to a new workspace then switching back.

Unfortunately that didn't help, I minimized it, scaled it, and pulled it off the sidebar but nothing seems to have gotten better. I'll have to save my work and restart the application again

Can't see my custom xmp panel in file info in PS CC 2014.

Has the "Custom File Info Panels" location moved with CC 2014? For previous CC versions, location was (mac):
HD/users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/
Anyone know? Thanks!

Hi,
The extensibility mechanism for the FileInfo dialog has changed for Photoshop CC 2014.
Please have a look at this thread we had posted last week: Update for XMP FileInfo SDK available
Kind regards

Help ! I can see whats in my layers . The panel only displays my layer count.

This is what I see in my lay panel. How see I change it so I a see and rename each layer like I was able to in previous versions ?

niad,
It may be time for the list, then (you may disregard 5) in this case).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How can I view both the layers panel & effects panel in PSE 11?

I have PSE11 and purchased Paint the Moon effects. How can I view both the Layers panel and the Effects panel at the same time? Was this an option in older versions of PSE that are used in the Paint the Moon tutorials?

At the very bottom right of the editor window click the little arrow to the right of the More button and choose Custom Workspace. Then your panels will behave the way they did in earlier versions--you can drag them out of the bin, see more than one, remove panels from The Clump, etc.

How to identify selected layers in layer panel of Photoshop?

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a Photoshop plug-in, and I want to identify selected layers in layer panel.
As I tested so far, didn't came up with a solution..
If anyone can provide me a solution it will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advanced..
Nuwan.

Looping through controls is indeed a inefficient way of doing what you want!
With such a great number of controls, you could assign an appropriate callbackData to each of them when loading the panel. Next you could create an array of control IDs with all the LEDs and operate in the switch callback to turn on and off the corresponding led. A small example will be more clear:
At panel load:
int leds[200];
SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_SWITCH1, ATTR_CALLBACK_DATA, (void *)1); leds[1] = PANEL_LED1;
SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_SWITCH2, ATTR_CALLBACK_DATA, (void *)2); leds[2] = PANEL_LED2;
SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_SWITCH192, ATTR_CALLBACK_DATA, (void *)192); leds[192] = PANEL_LED192;
In the switch callback:
int CVICALLBACK switchOnOff (int panel, int control, int event,
void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
int sts;
if (event != EVENT_COMMIT) return 0;
// Get the status of the switch
GetCtrlVal (panel, control, &sts);
// Set the led to the proper status
SetCtrlVal (panel, leds[(int)callbackData], sts);
return 0;
For this solution to work, leds[] array must be global so that it is available to the control callback.
An additional improvement could be to modify the panel loading so that swithces and leds are created programmatically. You could have a single switch/led pair set in the UIR editor and next have a loop that duplicate the controls, sets callbackData and loads the array of led ids.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Photoshop Mask Layer, see through multiple layers.

Dear All -
I am a new learner to Photoshop and working on Layers and Layer Mask to obtain see through multiple Layers effect.
Below is the description of my problem that I am looking forward towards resolution in this forum. I will be glad if some expert can guide me on this.
I have three layers of different colors as below.
Layer 1topmost layer) with Red color filled rectangle.
Layer 2(below Layer 1) with Green color filled rectangle.
Layer 3(bottom most layer, below Layer 2) with Blue color filled rectangle.
When I erase something with brush on Layer 1 using masking Layer 1, it hollows the erased part and start showing the Green color of Layer 2 in hollow section of Layer 1.
What I want to achieve is that, when I erase Layer 1 using layer mask, then it should hollow Layer 1 as well as Layer 2 and should show Blue color in the hollow section of Layer 1.
i.e: Hollow section made on Layer 1(using Layer Mask on Layer 1) should also be applied on Layer 2 so that Layer 1 and Layer 2 becomes hollow using eraser and I should see through Layer 1 and Layer 2 and Blue color of Layer 3 should be visible from the hollow section.
Though I can do this by Flattening Layer 1 and Layer 2 together so that it forms one single Image, and then when I hollow this Flattened image using Layer Mask, then it will show me Blue color. But I do not want to do this, as I would lose the flexibility to unhollow/recover the hollow region on both Layer 1 and Layer 2 independently in the future.
Thank You,
Saurabh Khanna.

Here's a sample of copying the layer mask onto layer 2 using a hard cutout.
Here's the same thing using a soft feather cutout.

Since I ipdated photoshop CC 2014, my layers and brush panels (and others) will not stay open. AS soon as I open them, they close. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Trying to open my layers or brush panels in photoshop Cc 2014 and they won't stay open. They close as soon as they open. This started immediately following the latest update that I ran today.

Try resetting the PS preferences and check if it's an issue with corrupt preferences : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Try to open PS in Plugin Disabled mode and check the same. For that Press Shift+PS icon and hit Yes.

How can I change the text layers to a specific color at the same time and in the fast way?

Dear all!
I am using Photoshop CS5. I typed 65 text layers in my file and wish to change their colors to a specific Black Color, but I don't know how to select all the layers at the same time so that I can change all the text layers from Red Color to Black Color in the fast way. Now I only select one layer and then change. It means I must select and change 65 times for the text layers. Hope you can understand what I mean.
Thanks a lot.
My Kindest Regards,
LUCK

One way is to select all the text layers, select the type tool in the tool box
and set the color from the tool options bar.

Can i convert a non layered file to a layered file bases on used colors?

can i convert a non layered file to a layered file bases on used colors?

I have heard questions like this before.
Some people seem to think that each colour should be on a separate layer.
I hope you are not one of them, because it is a complete misconception and defeats the object of Illustrator’s object stacking system.
Why do you think you need to collect objects of the same colour onto separate layers?

IDCS5: How to access selected layers in layer panel

It seems the way to access the selected layers in layer panel has been changed in CS5.
Here is a link to the code that worked with CS4, but it is not working on CS5.

Is there some way to find out how it works in CS5?

Please check Panel Options > Thumbnail Size from the Layers Panel’s pop-up menu in the upper right corner.

I can't see the thumbnail in the Assets Panel.

I have downloaded the newest version of PE 12 and when I download the AVI files into the assets panel, they appear, but appear black and not as any thumbnail that I can identify when trying to do my editing. I can view them in the timeline and they play just fine, but I have a lot of clips and I can't sort through the ones that I want to use if I can't identify it in the panel. All of the other clips show up just fine, but these AVI files (mpeg2) won't give me the thumbnail view that I need. I'm using Windows 7. Any ideas?

We have a lot to sort out here. Your information has been very helpful but still some gaps.
1. When you look at the file on the computer hard drive (before it ever see Premiere Elements, what is the file extension, .mod or .avi?
2. When these video were originally recorded by the JVC camera, were they recorded as mod 4:3 or mod widescreen 16:9?
3. Mod standard and especially Mod standard widescreen have been highly problematic for Premiere Elements (any version). Is there any chance that you or someone else could have been trying to convert these files to something else and that the something else might be the problem now?
4. Would it be possible for you to post a screenshot of the Properties readout that you get for the file when you right click its thumbnail in Project Assets and select Properties?
There have been two classical remedies for .mod file
a. standard or standard widescreen, rename the file extension from .mod to .mpg before file import into Premiere Elements
and
b. for mod standard widescreen, use Premiere Elements Interpret Footage to correct the 4:3 look for the intended 16:9 video
More on those matters later.
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.

You cannot see photos backed up in iCloud on your computer.
Camera Roll photos backed up to iCloud are still in your Camera Roll on your iPhone.
You need to regularly sync the photos to your computer. (then you can see them on your computer).
-> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
then delete them from your Camera Roll.
You can sync the photos you want on your iPhone back to your iPhone using iTunes.

I can't see my control panels in Camera Raw

Ever since I purchased CC, I can not use Camera Raw. The control panels are black and I can't read what each of the sliders is adjusting. See the attached screen shot.
I contacted support previously and they said it was because I was also running MacKeeper. So, I uninstalled MacKeeper, deleted the trash, rebooted, and I still have the same problem. When I go to Camera Raw Preferences, I get the same thing. Black control panels and I can't see what I'm adjusting. Does anyone have a suggestion?
I am running an iMac with Intel Core i5, System 10.9.3

Yes, that's possible. Simply don't activate the option for storage and backup or PhotoStream. Just activate the calendar option if that's all you want to use.
