Change default new layer order - top to bottom

By default Adobe Photoshop creates new layers on top of the current layer. In the Western languages we read from top to bottom and left to right. So when I start creating a web site in Photoshop I start from top to bottom as well. However Photoshop creates the new layer above the current, which is the opposite of what I would like to do. I need Photoshop to create new layrs below the current layer. I know by holding CTRL/COMMAND and clicking the NEW LAYER icon, will do what I need. However if I do CTRL+J to jump/dublicate the current layer, or select a layer and ALT+DRAG again to dublicate it, again it puts the new layers in top. Is there a way to reverse the default order Photoshop places layers? If not, I suggest that to Adobe implement an option in the general settings for Photoshop. Flash for example had similar option to read/place layers from top to bottom or bottom to top. Thanks!

Trevor.Dennis, yes you are correct that perhaps the new layer MIGHT be hidden, but since I am asking such quesiton I am aware that this might happen. I see your point and why what I need is not the default option in Photoshop. However, for some (like me for example), it will still be a lot better of I could tweak that as an optional setting KNOWING what I am doing and the risk behind it.

  • How can I change the order (top to bottom) of toolbars

    I've just upgraded to FX31. I have Classic Theme Restorer installed, and nothing too drastic has occurred. However, the order (top to bottom) of my Add-on toolbars has changed. How can I correct this ? I have tried disabling and restoring them, both singly and together but to no avail.
    The toolbars are: Google Bar and Web Developer. I want Web Developer under Google Bar like it was before the upgrade, please.
    I notice that although the Google Bar is listed on 'View > Toolbars' it makes no difference whether it's checked or not: it's always displayed unless I disable it as an add-on.
    A minor matter, perhaps, but it's intensely irritating to have these things arbitrarily changed when there's an upgrade. I know I'm not alone in this.
    Regards,
    Tim Dawson

    Yes, thank you, that did work.
    I was a bit flummoxed at first because the extensions.ini file showed the extensions with unhelpful ID names like 'c45c406...........xpi'. But then I noticed that they were all listed in the Troubleshooting information with both plain text and ID, so it was possible to pick out the two that needed swapping.
    I use my Fx browser a lot for web development and it's really irritating when the layout gets savaged by an upgrade, particularly when the upgrade itself seems to offer no benefits (except perhaps a security fix).

  • Move layer on TOP or BOTTOM shortcut doesn't work

    Im working on Macbook Pro 15" with Adobe CC Photoshop. Bracket keys work well when i want to change the brush size, but when I try to move layer on TOP or BOTTOM of the layers list with shift+cmd+[ or ] shortcut - nothing happens. Anyone got the same problem?

    If you look under Layer>Arrange is the shortcut listed?

  • Change IM Chat screen to Top to Bottom from Side t...

    I do not like the new UI! I prefer the older version. Specifically I have a problem with the chat window being forced to the side of the screen instead of from Top to Bottom like in the previous versions. If there is a way to change this I would like to do so. I believe where the chat screen is located during calls should be optional and adjustable. Where the chat screen is located is important because it affects the resolution and size of the video. A wider video for instance might be prefered over a narrower look.

    I'm not sure exactly where your tabs are, but generally speaking, Firefox can place them either above or below the address bar, always above the web page content. To get them on the left side typically would require an extension.
    If you have one named Tab Utilities on the following screen --
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    -- check out this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/953933 My tabs are on the side... how to get them back to normal?]
    If that's not it, could you possibly post a screenshot showing where they are? This article has tips on how to capture one: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]

  • New Layer on top of a Mask Layer causes problems

    I have a mask layer that shows/loads an imported flv inside of it.
    the masked layer has a blank keyframe with the following code in it.......
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    addChild(myLoader);
    var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mymovie.swf");
    myLoader.load(url);
    What happens is when i add a new layer to my main flash movie, right above the mask layer, it messes up the movie. Instead of it loading in the mask, it loads on top of everything. Why does this occur?

    I created an empty movie clip and placed my two mask layers and it worked fine.
    Thanks!

  • Break apart letters, distributed layers not in order (Top to bottom)

    Hi!
    I am starting to learn how to use Flash.  I am trying a simple exercise of creating text, breaking it apart, then distribute the objects to layers.
    When I do this, the layers in the timeline box appeared not in order, intead of Top to Bottom, the letters appeared Bottom to Top (See attached picture). 
    Does someone knows how to fix it so that they appear in order?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I did that... that is easy with short paragraphs... But I can't do that with longer paragraphs... Too annoying... Any other suggestions?

  • Change default "new resource avaible" behaviour on Workspaces

    Hi to all,
    Our costumer wants to know if there is some way to change, through Workspace WebServices or SQL sentence, the default "new resource avaible" behaviour on Workspaces (that behavior considered to show the "new resource avaible" GIF).
    Anyone knows how to do it? Or any one knows what are exactly the rules behind the action of passing a "new resource avaible" to "normal resource" showing off the GIF (ex. 3 days after publish the resource? Until the member open this resorce?)? ....
    Lot of thanks in advance and best regards!

    There is no setting to allow this in Keynote.
    The usual way to do this is either:

  • I have a water damage iPhone 5s would like to change to new set with top up the money. But the staff told me it couldn't be done due to some of my minor parts are missing according to company policy. I need advise as I want to change it.

    Hi all,
    I have a water damage iPhone 5s was bring to service center to have new set change with top up the money. Well, the staff were told me that the phone can't be change due to some of minor parts are missing in the phone. He said this is due to company policy. I would like to check is that nothing can do with this missing minor parts? I really doubt the policy of the Apple as I was told as long as you bring to the service center, they will assists. As Apple is a well known brand top of the world, but the servicing is really make me so disappointed! I really doubt should I still continue to support the Apple product with helpless service!
    Would like to take this opportunity to seek the professional advise in order to get my phone change back.
    Appreciate very much!
    Thanks.

    Well, your service is handled by an Authorized Apple Service Center. If they refuse to handle the claim, that is well within their rights. Apple as well could void a claim under the same circumstances. I'm not saying that you did or did not modify the device, but you could try and talk to a supervisor there and make another request. You can also try and contact Apple by obtaining a number with this support document and describe your problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • While using ibooks how to change page swipe from left to right vs top to bottom

    Somehow I changed a setting in my Ibooks to change page by scrolling from top to bottom of the screen. I want to have page turn by moving from left to right. I am using iPhone with operating 7. whatever is out at this day and time. Can anyone help? Thanks
    Celestesyorkies.

    tap the AA symbol at the top, the one for resizing text.
    It will show a slider for brightness, font size, page colour, and on the bottom "scrolling view" off and on.
    When the scrolling view is "on" (green) the book is read with a vertical slider and scrolling up and down.
    When the scrolling view is "off" (no colour) the pages are changed by swiping left to right or right to left.

  • Copy to New Layer

    Simple gray scale photo of kite in sky. The kite is not completely surrounded by sky, part of it is out of the shot. I want to make the sky flash the gray it is now to white(gif). I used the polygonal lasso tool to select the sky. I dont know how to copy it to a new layer so I can change the exposure and make one frame with the original layer showing, another with the exposed layer showing. After I select with the lasso, all the items under "layer" are grayed out including "new". I tried the new layer icon at the bottom of the palette but no go. The closest I have come is edit>copy but where to put it?
    Also, if I lasso the kite, isnt it subjective which is the background and which is the foreground?
    Anyway, thanks for any help!

    Thanks for that Bob. Got it. But having trouble finishing project. Progress so far: Lassoed the kite. Layer via copy. Now in layers palette have a thumbnail with the sky I want and the outline of the kite still visible (background)and one with just the kite with checker board sky(Layer 1). image>adjustments>exposure, 5.20 exposure/+0.2400 offset, changing the dark gray sky to 'white'. Opened the animation palette and now have kite (layer 1) as first frame. Frame delay, tweening, duplicating frames to tweak the animation I can do but the one thing missing is a frame with the "original" photo in it so the animation will flit between dark gray sky and white sky. Im guessing animation frames come from layers of the photo being worked on. So I cant just use the original as the second frame because the focus, for lack of the right term, of the palettes shift to THAT photo when I open it. How do I get the kite with the dark gray sky into the animation?
    Thank you ever so much!

  • Ship to address changed in already invoiced orders

    Hello SAP Experts,
    Is there a way to prevent customer (ship to) address change in already invoiced sales orders while changing ship to address in XD02?
    Since the address pointing to ADRC table, everytime we make changes in XD02, it is reflecting in all SD documents new and old. My client has a unique requirement, they want to change the address in XD02, which should only change to new sales orders. They do not want to change the address in already invoiced sales orders.

  • New Mail on top or on bottom?

    My new mail coming into my inbox used to be on the bottom of all of the current mail. Now all the new mail shows up on the top. I can change it, but when I reopen it, it goes back to new ones on top. this just started recently, (after Snow Leopard?).
    any ideas?

    you can change the sorting order by clicking on the "date received" column. if the setting does not stick when you quit Mail your mail preference file is corrupt. you can recreate it but it will mean re-enetering all your account data.
    quit Mail, delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and start Mail. you'll have to recreate your email accounts. once you do they'll recognize their existing mailboxes.
