Creating a New Layer Using Icons in Adjustment Palette

When creating a new layer using the icons in the adjustments palette and holding ALT in CS5 a dialog box would appear before creating the new layer.  At this point you could rename the layer change the blending mode etc.
In CS6 I do not get the dialog box to appear the new layer is just created.  I've tried to reset my preference twice and this has not help. Any ideas?

On the contrary, your memory may have failed.
ACJ81 is correct (at least as far as Ps on OS X is concerned) and the problem was mentioned in the forum not too long ago. In CS5, Alt-clicking an icon in Adjustments panel does cause a New Layer dialog to pop open and the dialog fails to appear in CS6.
In CS6 and CS5, the dialog will appear if you pick an Adj Lyr from the Layer > New Adjustment Layer submenu, both with or without Alt modifier. (That lack of control over the appearance of an optional dialog when picking from a menu is an inconsistency in the interface.)
In CS6 and CS5, the dialog will appear if you Alt-click the black and white circle at bottom of Layers panel then pick an Adj Lyr from the menu, as Noel said.

    You know that you lost the layers when you saved it as a jpeg, right? But you're saying you can't add layers to the jpeg now when it's open in the editor? Go to Image>mode and be sure it's RGB, for starters. Are all the commands in the Layer menu grayed out?

    As all of the msuic came from your computer in the first place it should still be there.  Is it not?
    EVERYTHING on your ipod should also be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
    Make sure that everything is on your computer.  You can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    When everything is on your computer, then it can be synced back to the ipod after updating.

  • How do I stop Photoshop CS4 from creating a new layer each time I use the line tool?

  • Creating a new layer request...

    Does anyone know of a plugin that when creating a new layer, the name of the layer is immediately editable or which brings up a dialog window prompting you to name it, as in photoshop and illustrator?
    This would really speed things up.
    Thanks,

    Yeah I knew that but it means you gotta use the mouse to click on it which just a pain all the time. I avoid using the mouse whenever possible.
    I was hoping a new layer with the name immediately editable could be done with one gesture.
    For example in photoshop, you do the short cut for new layer which is ⌥⌘N and that brings up a window with the layer name immediately editable. No mouse needed.
    Thanks for your help anyway!

  • Cannot create a new layer when opening a gif

    Using Photoshop Elements 8, I open a gif that I want to change the text for. I open the file and the first thing I want to do is create a new layer, but I am not able to. the New Layer button in the layers area is disabled, as is the Layers menu.  How do fix this?

    Since, animated .gif has got changed when opening in PSE9 so here is the alternative
    You can always save your layered psd file which you convert to animated gif so in case you want to modify anything you can do it in .psd file and then create another animated .gif for your use.

  • Creating a new document using XQuery

    Hello everyone,
    I wondered if there was a way to create a new document using XQuery. What I am trying to do is to run a query on XML file and try to print the results in HTML for viewing purpose.
    The HTML is spitted out on DOS prompt. Instead I wanted to write that HTML to a file on disk. Is this possible with the XQuery tools provided by Oracle?
    Thanks in advance for all the help

  • Selecting an object fails when creating a new dashboard using the 'New Dashboard and Widget Wizard'

    Hi,
    I am using SCOM 2012 SP1
    I have recently been experiencing an issue when trying to create a new dashboard using the wizard. I get to the step where you select a group or object to add to the  Scope and Counters section. When I try to search for a particular object such as a
    port or interface it times out and returns an error. The error is shown below:
    Please provide the following information to the support engineer if you have to contact Microsoft Help and Support :
    Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Presentation.DataAccess.DataAccessDataNotFoundException: Exception reading objects ---> Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.UnknownDatabaseException: The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not
    produce a query plan. This is a rare event and only expected for extremely complex queries or queries that reference a very large number of tables or partitions. Please simplify the query. If you believe you have received this message in error, contact Customer
    Support Services for more information.

    It appears to be complaining about internal resources, but we have not experienced this issue before and both the management and SQL servers have plenty of resource. The databases are held on a seperate dedicated sql server and I have noticed that when I
    try to search for the object, the sqlservr.exe process immediately consumes 50% CPU while the query is running. As soon as it ends (errors) the sqlservr process drops back to a reasonable number.
    No changes have been made to either the management server or sql server. We were able to create dashboards one day, but then recieved this error the next.
    Has anyone else seen this issue? or can anyone explain what is happening?
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Asposted earlier,hadt he same problem
    when creating a Dashboard widget type
    State.
    Ones olution I found for this was as follows:
    When creating the State widget,the option
    to specify the criterion I left blank
    and finished the creation of the dashboard.
    With that managed to solve the problem.Of course this
    is not the solution, or the root cause
    of the problem.
    I will examine more about this issue, and sohave
    the ultimate solution and why such behavior,I post
    here.
    thank you

  • Creating a new database using an MDF file

    My database saves as MDF. I want to know what are the steps to restore or create a new database using a MDF file? I tried to restore as usual but it shows an error. Please help.

    An MDF file isn’t a backup file isn’t the main data file (or master data file depending on who you ask) hence the file extension MDF. You can attach the MDF to the database by right clicking on the databases folder in Enterprise Manager (SQL 2000) or Management
    Studio (SQL 2005) then selecting all tasks and then Attach Database. When you do this you will get an error about the log file missing. This shouldn’t matter as SQL Server will simply create a new log file for you. This will only work if the SQL Server was
    stopped when you copied the MDF file from the old SQL Server. If you copied the file while the SQL Server was running this file probably will not attach either and you will need to get a valid backup of the database.
    Download help tool for sql database - SQL Server Restore Toolbox.

  • How do you create a new layer in a specific group layer?

    I'm trying to work within a particular group and every time I click the new layer button or paste a jpg image into the document, the new items appear at the very top of the layers panel and I have to move it down the list and place it in the group I'm working in.  Is it possible to paste an image or create a new layer so that it appears in a specific layer  group?

    Yes, but you need to from your layers palette flyout menu remove the check in front of paste remembers layers.
    Or else the bitmaps in your clipboard have no illustrator layer assigned, therefore Illustrator creates or adds to an existing layer 1.

  • How do I create a new layer that is only visible in the current animation frame?

    Normally when you create a new layer it's automatically visible in all animation frames. I want to set it so that the new layer is only visible within the frame it was created.

    I was doing some playing with frames just to verify what is going on. and as far as I can see when you create a new layer it is applied to the last frame only, but if you create a new frame is is copied.
    What I did was create 2 layers one a background gradient, second is a raster rectangle.
    For frames, the first is the background, second is the rectangle and the third is the same rectangle, now I can click on either frame and move that rectangle.

  • When I create a new cube using another cube as template which datasource i

    Hi,,
    When I create  a new cube using another cube as template(copy) which datasource is assigned to the new cube, why because am getting all the fields which are there in copied cube even though I used only required fields.why this is occuring?
    Thanx in advance,
    Ravi

    Hi,
    Usually, when you copy the cube only data model is copied. means all KF and CHAR, NAV CHAR.
    May be after copying you can reassign (CHARS) once again in the New cube as per your requirement.
    When you create the update rules, there you can assign the Infosource or original cube as datasource.
    may help...
