CS4 doesn't update picture when adjustment layers are changed

Basically the problem I have after just downloading CS4 is that, other than loving the improvements to the program, I'm irritated by the fact that I can't see the effect of any adjustments I make in the layers pallete until I click on the actual picture, or zoom it in or out.  Occasionally it will update on it's own but most of the time not.  Anybody ever had this problem?  Could it be related to the GPU thing -- maybe need new drivers?

Well, I updated to the latest ATI driver and it still does the same thing.  It live-updates when I'm making adjustments in say a curves or levels or any other adjustment dialog, but the real problem is, if I turn a layer on or off I have to then either zoom or click the image to see the current status.  As I said earlier, very irritating when you're trying a bunch of different adjustments then want to turn off one or the other to quickly see the difference.

  • Upper layers partially disappear when lower layers are oriented

    I have several layers of a website - each of which have 3D turned on and which were oriented to provide some perspective. I've noticed that when the layers are oriented, they tend to intersect each other - so I see some of one layer and some of another layer. I've also placed an animated graphic of a cursor on top of all the layers. When I reposition the cusor - and it moves into an area of the graphic below - it disappears.
    It seems like there's a diagonal line running down the graphic and when images in layers above intersect with that area - they somehow diappear behing the oriented image below.
    How can I prevent this from happening?
    I was going to insert an image - but when I click the camera icon - all I get is a big grey box that says 'Insert Image' - but no way to select the image I want to insert. Very strange!

    Your layers are intersecting because they are intersecting in 3D space. Look at a left or right view and you'll see the layers cutting into each other. If you want them not to intersect then you have to move them. The most common thing to do is to change the Z distance. It sounds like you don't understand 3D space. AE works like all 3D apps except that the layers are limited to 2D planes. If they intersect in the 3D world then they intersect. If one moves behind another then it is behind. The layer order does not make any difference unless you start inserting 2D layers or adjustment layers between 3D layers.
    I have no idea what you mean when you say "I was going to insert an image - but when I click the camera icon - all I get is a big grey box that says 'Insert Image' -  . . ." because you don't insert images into After Effects, you import them to the Project panel and then you drag or add them to the timeline. There is no camera icon in AE that has an Import function. What exactly are you doing and what app are you using to Insert something by clicking on a camera icon. There are no Insert functions in After Effects.
    I suggest you look for some basic AE tutorials on 3D space. There are dozens if not more that give you the basics.

  • How can I use the pen or other tools when the layers are invisible/hide?

    Can you please help me?
    When I click the "eye" to hide the layer it won't let me use any tools, it was working fine but suddenly stopped and I have no idea what is happening!
    I can't finish my work because I need to copy things from a template layer but when I hide the top layer (to see what is down and copy with the pen) it won't work, even with a new layer! o.o
    It works fine when the layers are showing but when I hide it everything stops working.
    I tried to close illustrator, copy the work and paste in another place but nothing fixes it! Gosh this is so frustrating, I need help please! >__<

    That's because I wanna hide the layers to see the image that I'm trying to copy on a new layer that is not hidden. It only works with all the layers showing and I can't copy like this But I figured a way to change oppacity and now I can copy the image! ^^
    Thanks for the help <3

  • My Mac Mini doesn't start up when usb devices are plugged in.

    My Mac Mini doesn't start up when usb devices are plugged in.
    It just shows the "White screen of Death" when 1 or more usb ports are used.

    Haha. I just restarted it and it worked. Instead of turning it off and on. But thanks.
    By the way:
    Note: It is possible that the SMC could encounter an issue that may cause unusual system behavior typically related to the symptoms described below. In some cases, resetting the SMC may be the only correct method to resolve the issue, however, an SMC reset should only be attempted after all other standard troubleshooting has been performed.
    So I hope it is fixed for now. But could someone also post another solution?

  • Change a label in page when webpart properties are changed

    Hi
    can anyone please tel me how to
    Change label in page when webpart properties are changed
    Nishanthi N

    Hi Nishanthi,
    If it would be a Visual Webpart, then you have to pass webpart property in user control as WP property bag/collection so that you will retrieve it in ascx and assign its value to label on load event.
    Add below code in Webpart:
    [Personalizable(), WebBrowsable, WebDisplayName("City or Town"), Category("Address settings")]
          public String City {
    get; set; }
            protected
    override void CreateChildControls()
            AddressUserControl control = Page.LoadControl(_ascxPath)
    as AddressUserControl;
            if
    (control != null)
                control.WebPart =
    this;
            Controls.Add(control);
    Put this code in your ASCX Control:
    MyWebPartClass ParentWebPart = (MyWebPartClass)this.Parent;
    Use this code in your ASCX methods:
    string webPartProperty = this.ParentWebPart.City;
    Thanks
    Please mark it as Answer if works...

  • Is there a way to adjust shadows in iMovie 11? WhenI adjust brightness it changes shadows also. If not is there free or low cost software available? My operating system is Lion.

    Is there a way to adjust shadows in imovie 11. When I adjust brightness, it changes shadows also. If not, is there free or low cost software that I can download? I am using Lion 10.7.1

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Apple Update doesn't update yet states all files are up to date

    I tried running the Apple Software update on my 10.6.6. It runs, bu then it gives me a message that all files are already updated and the only option is to quit. It doesn't update any files.
    I tried even going to the direct file link to update Epson drivers. I know there's an updat out there for Epson. My current driver for my R2880 printer is v8.17 and I know that there's an upgrade to 8.37 (I have done this update on another MAC).
    I have done other updates before without any issues. I've tried 4-5 times then rebooted my MAC and it still doesn't update. Any help would be appreciated.

    If SU doesn't show the update, then either you've not selected the Epson printer in the Print & Fax prefPane or it needs to be connected to the machine. BTW, the latest Epson update is at http://support.apple.com/kb/dl900 Download and install it manually.

  • My new Photoshop CS4 doesn't have 'Picture Package'...?

    I go to File > automate and Picture Package is not in the pop up menu. I can't access it from Bridge either Tools > Photoshop...Photoshop help says it is still a feature in CS4. What step am I missing? a bug?

    What PDF plug-in are you talking about Dave? The picture package plug-in
    that was in Photoshop wasn't a PDF plug-in, it didn't generate PDF files. It
    took your picture package back in to Photoshop as a regular Photoshop
    document, the same with the contact sheet plug-in. The complaint has nothing
    to do with a PDF plug-in, it has to do with Adobe fixing it so that the only
    output method (like the slideshow in Lightroom) is the very crAAppy PDF
    format. They took away functionality just to push their format, now if their
    format was appropriate and was what most people were using when the plug-in
    was in Photoshop then that is fine, but I can bet you that most people after
    using the plug-in in Photoshop didn't save it as PDF all that often. More
    likely it was either printed and then trashed or printed and then saved as a
    TIF or PSD or JPG. That is my complaint.
    As for the crack post, well I would suggest you pull you head out of yours
    and at least pretend that you have a clue about what is being said. Equating
    my complaint to crack is just stupid.
    As for ImageReady we have known for several versions that ImageReady was at
    first a lame duck and then a dead one and that become very clear once Adobe
    bought Macromedia. Fireworks is a 1000 times the program ImageReady was.

  • Aperture 3.2.3 and NIK plugins. Intermittently, the viewer doesn't update an image adjusted using several NIK plugins, though the browser strip does. The viewer updates once Aperture is quit and re-launched. IS there some explanation for this recent behav

    Aperture 3.2.3 and NIK plugins. I use several of these plugins. Recently, and intermittently, the edited image fails to update in the viewer until Aperture is quit and re-launched, even though it is updated in the browser strip. I have assumed the NIK software must be working because the problem occurs from time to time regardless of which one is used. Is there some explanation?

    See this known issue:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4237
    Not sure why Apple has not fixed this one yet. It is consistent with NIK plug-ins as well as Photoshop (CS5 and CS6).
    Big fumble from my point of view.

  • IPhoto v 9.6 doesn't update pictures added by shared parties in iCloud Stream

    I have a MacBookPro 15 inch mid 2010, 8GB ram
    I am running OS X Yosemite v 10.10.  I am using iPhoto v 9.6.
    I created an event that I shared on iCloud with other parties.  I gave them permission to read/write.  The other parties added photos to the stream.  These added photos show up on my iPhone 5S using iOS 8 but they do not show up on my iPhoto application.
    I have restarted iPhoto, my MacBook, my router, etc.  Nothing seems to work.  I have left the computer running overnight to see if the downloads would come through and were delayed because of large file size, but nothing happened.  iPhoto just shows the pics I originally included in the stream.

  • Update Item when Content Type is changed in the browser

    I feel like I might be missing something obvious here - I set up a number of managed content types.  While editing a list item with multiple content types, when a user changes to a different content type using the drop down at the top of the page,
    the edits are not saved.  Is there any way to force an update when the user changes content type?  Clicking save returns the user to the list view which means the user needs to edit it again, and navigate to the content type.

    Hi Steve,
    Per my understanding, you might want to update item with the input values when content type changed by selecting an option in the “Content Type” drop down menu in
    EditForm.aspx page.
    A Content Type is a set of predefined columns, from the perspective of the use of Content Type in a list, it would be easier to maintain per record with only one content
    type as an item, this is also a recommended behavior when working with multiple content types in a list.
    If you want to take use of columns from multiple content types in an item, a suggestion is that you can create a custom content type with the columns from other content
    types you want, then add it into your list.

  • Automatically update table when database make any changes

    Hi Experts,
    I want to create one table in the database that table
    but values get inserted into that table automatically when the database make any changes (i.e if you insert/update/delete any values in any table in the database)
    how should i create this type of table into my oracle database
    please give me some script to create it
    reg,
    jel

    Why not simply enable audit? Then you can query SYS.AUD table to track inserts/updates/deletes and even selects. Other than that, you would have to create a trigger on every existing and newly created table.
