Can't view all layers in Photoshop

Hi everyone,
I can't seem to view all my layers in Photoshop (using CS6 via Creative Cloud on a Mac) when I'm duplicating from another file.  I have two files usually open - my mockup file I'm working on for a UI project, and various templates files which I'm trying to add various UI element so that I can cut and paste various UI elements into my file. I duplicate a layer group and send it to my file, and they'll show up in the Layers panel, but the content isn't displaying on the screen - I've double checked that it isn't buried somewhere and is visible.  Or I've had it where the Layer will display, but it'll transform the contents into a Layer that loses the ability to edit the text.
When I've tried it with various files, I've had mixed results of what I can add to my mockup file.  I duplicated layers from a PSD of grds (http://www.ravelrumba.com/photoshop-grids/) ok into my new file, but when I try and duplicate a layer that has a photograph or any Vector art and send it to my destination file, the Layer shows up in the Layer panel but the content doesn't show up on the screen.  It works for some PSDs ok, but often not with others. This is true for individual layers and a group of layers. 
Is there something specific I have to be able to do to make content display?
I tried the 'video card' issues that I've read about, but someone told me that's more something that affects PCs (I'm running a MacBook Pro).
Any ideas?

I think you solved it! I just looked, and a few of the layers in question ARE off the canvas - so at least I'm seeing them now once I've zoomed out and seen the entire canvas and black background area.  I think I wasn't thinking about that because a lot of these template files of all possible UI elements are huge in size, so when I added it to my much smaller document, they are by default going to be off the canvas (especially if the canvas size is 2000 x 8000 pixels!) of the other document.  I was thinking somehow that they'd show up by default closer to the middle of my document.
Thank you so much for this!

  • Can I close all layers? or even better, stop illustrator from opening all layers when I open a file?

    I just installed cs6, and when I open files in Illustrator, it opens all of the layers which contain sublayers.  It does this even if all the top-level layers were closed during the previous save.  The files I work with have a large layer-structure, so re-closing the top-level layers every time I open a file wastes a lot of my time.  Can I close all layers at once, or better yet, can I stop Illustrator from opening all of the layers automatically when I load a file?
    If not, then WHY on earth not?  I can't be the only one who opens and closes large files with lots of layers and sub-layers...
    Thanks for your help.
    Edit: I also am noticing this problem is even worse in cs6, because openning and closing individual layers plays a little animation of rotating the triangular arrow before the layer which, cute as it may be, just makes the task of individually closing up all my layers that much more tedious.  Can I turn off that little animation of the triangular arrow when opening and closing layers?

    You can save it as a pdf and when you open that in AI the layers will not be opened even if they have sublayers.
    Not true. Does the same nonsense an .AI file does. Saved as a .PDF, closed Layers/subgroups get opened.
    And no one cares!
    I do. Every other Adobe program with a layering sceme seems to be able to remember that you saved a file with all layers and subs closed. But not this one.
    Maybe someone from the AI development team should ask someone from the Photoshop team how they've managed it.....for decades.

  • How to import all layers in Photoshop at one go ?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to import a Photoshop psd file into AE. This file has a lot of layers. When I do File > Import > FIle, it ask me whether I want to import as footage or Layers.
    When I chose Layers, I am asked which layers I wanna import in. As I have to import one layer at a time, this is time consuming. How can I import all layers at one go ?
    Thanks
    Cheers

    Choose import as a composition. Check the help files. There are two options.
    Thanks Rick, Didn't realize that after clicking File > Import > FIle, when the dialog box appeared, we can still change the option to import as composition.
    Thanks Rick for the tips !!

  • Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

    Hi Apple community,
    This is my first go at this so be kind,
    My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
    My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
    My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
    My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
    Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • Can not view all the thumbnails in version 9 adobe standard

    as adobe 5. However I can not get the correct settting to make it right for her.
    Any adivse or trouble shoot steps would be appreciated. Adobe said to update the product, I have done that last night.

    How do I do that?

  • How can I view all photos from a specific year?

    How can I view all photos taken in one calendar year like 2010? Is there a way to filter this way?

    Yes, create a smart album or a search with a "Date" rule or a Calendar rule.
    For example: New > Smart Album
    Add Rule:  Date
         Capture year is 2010.
    or: Add Rule: Calendar
    and click-step  the year back to 2010:
    In the Calendar it is a bit cumbersom to select a whole year, because it will only show 3 month at once. Select the first day and then scroll to to the end oft the year.

  • How can I view all downloads?

    How can I view all downloads in Yosemite? I just get sent to Terminal.

    ProfDWD wrote:
    Thanks for your suggestions about viewing downloads, but I'm afraid none of them worked. Whatever I tried, it always defaults to Terminal. You said the downloads folder can be found in the root, but I don't know how to get to get there. Presumably some command in the Terminal program?
    No. You do not want to be using terminal for viewing files. Terminal is a command line interface and best not to be messed with by the uninitiated.
    There is some glitch or problem or bug you are experiencing, If clicking the Downloads folder opens Terminal.
    You can try deleting the downloads folder off the Dock and drag a new downloads folder from your user home folder,  back to the right side of the Dock. The right side Dock icons are simply alias pointing to the parent folder.
    If that does not work My best advise would be to simply try re-installing the OS X on top of your existing OS X,  I suspect this will sort the problem.

    how can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

    The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon.  i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer.  On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented.  On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures.  On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file.  I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work.  I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
    I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon?  (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
    Cheers.

  • How can I view all emails (regardless of account)

    On my Mac, I can easily view all of my inboxes at once for the 3 separate mail accounts I have (work, home and one other).
    On the iPhone, it seems that I have to keep going back up to the top of the Mail UI and back down into each mail account in order to view new mails... or have I missed some setting/feature that allows me to view all of my incoming mails in one combined inbox (as I can in OS X)?
    +(As a side note, the Calendar on the iPhone does allow me to view all of my separate calendars comnbined).+

    Hello, unfortunately the iPhone doesn't have a combined inbox - As far as I'm aware this isn;t possible at this time (You're not missing a setting either - I've checked extensively). It's a shame and I certainly look forward to when this is implemented (if it ever is).

  • How can i view all users?

    Hi all.

    How can i view all users?
    Tanx
    Alam

    So if you can not get complete set of data you will take a subset (which can be empty, BTW) and say this is a complete list?In a 10.2.0.4 database a user with CONNECT role only can see every username. Can't see all the details but that's the intent of the view. I don't know if this is a doc bug or what.
    And, it is, BTW, a very good thing DBA_USERS is not available to everyone. List of users is part of security and is at least confidential.Agree 100%. I just thought it was a bit odd for you to suggest that I RTFM the ALL_USERS definition, and point out that the docs state it's a list of users visible to the current user, when your suggestion to the OP was to use DBA_USERS. It's likely that a user with the ability to query DBA_USERS would have all users visible to them anyway. I just didn't understand your rather rude followup directed at me. I'm just trying to help, just like everyone else here.
