CS4 extended Layer styles not working

Running CS4 extended on Vista64, Corei7 quad @2.9 GHz, 8 Gig Ram and nVidia quadro FX 1700. I can not get layer styles to work in documents that originated in CS3 extended. If I start a new document they work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Well, I ended up copying all of the layers from the old PSD to a CS4 psd and it worked. Since it is a web page it had a lot of layers and it was a major pain in the hooey... but it did work.

Blend modes in "stroke"-layer styles not working ?

Hi. Anybody else got problems with the the blend modes in the "stroke" layer style, or am I doing something wrong?
right click on layer > blending options > stroke > blend mode
(position=inside)
I want to use "fill type"="gradient", but the blend modes do not even work with "fill type"=color. For both fill modes, the stroke does not let any pixels of the layer shine through, no matter what blend mode I choose.
I often use blend modes, for example "darken", etc. I know how they work, but somehow for the stroke layer style it seems not to work at all.
I know, it's pretty basic, but I have spent several hours on that and simply don't succeed. Thanks for any help.

As there's only a single sentence refering to the stroke layer style in the CS3 manual, I'd also be thankful for an Adobe comment, clarifying whether this is a bug or not and if it will be improved.
Just to depict the current behaviour in a more graphic way:
test image: layers:
stroke settings:
expected results:
actual results:
I'd suggest to add a checkbox "knockout", which would let the user choose between the two results.

For some reason the masking layer is not working in my CS6. I know I have all the settings correct!

For some reason the masking layer is not working in my CS6. I know have everything set correctly! Please help.

Hard to guess on this type of question at you are not offering any tip on what you are doing. A screen shot might help to see how you have things set.

Layer Styles Not Saving for Use on Other Computers

I've been trying over and over for the last 6 hours to get the layer styles I save in my custom pallet to work on other computers. I mean, I have a bunch of pallets from other sources and somehow they achieved a way of being able to save theirs, now why can't I do it on mine?
So, here's the story of what I've done. I have a Text layer, I've added a list of FX to it via the Layer Styles menu. Now I save the document. I open up a new document and copy/paste the FX onto a new Text layer in another document window. It works great.
Then, I save the layer styles for use later, but no. When I do everything exactly the same way, my Layer Style that I saved has lost all it coordinates of shadows and stroke widths, bevels, you name it, it's screwed up. Now I've tried this so far on CS4 and CS5, 3 different computers. All 3 computers have different settings for how Photoshop is set up, so I know it's NOT my settings alone. Though, it keeps the colors and custom gradients how they are, everything is bonkers.
I'm ready to stop trusting in Photoshop to be there for me when I need it...or punch a hole in the wall. Whichever comes first.
I need help for this as soon as possible, for I have an assignment I need this for.

Seems to me you left out the most critical piece of information, that is, HOW did you save the layer style for later use ?
You might read this tutorial to see if you did it correctly.

HTML5 API - Heat Layer Points Not Working

Hi everyone,
Really weird issue this, and I am honestly at a loss to explain what's going on, so hopefully someone can spot my mistake!
I want to overlay a density-based heat map over a map of Britain, based on longitude/latitude points stored in OBIEE columns. I have copied and pasted some of the code (modifying it for my needs) from the SampleApp v406 "dynamic heat layer" demonstration.
My "showMap(darray)" function is what is responsible for building and displaying the map. darray in this case is an 2-dimensional array containing all the OBIEE data in [row number][column number] format which is fed in via a narrative view. Note that mapview, heatLayer and eventsLayer are global variables defined in the main script body. Below is the code:
function showMap(darray) {
   var baseURL = "http://"+document.location.host+"/mapviewer";
   mapview = new OM.Map(document.getElementById("map"), { mapviewerURL:baseURL });
   mapview.addLayer(new OM.layer.ElocationTileLayer("background"));
   var marker = new OM.style.Marker({src: "/mapviewer/icons/BALL_sel.png", width:7, height:7});
   var heatStyle = getStyle();
heatLayer = new OM.layer.VectorLayer("heatLayer",
            def:
                type: OM.layer.VectorLayer.TYPE_LOCAL
                renderingStyle: heatStyle
addPoints(darray, heatLayer);
mapview.addLayer(heatLayer);
eventsLayer = new OM.layer.VectorLayer("eventsLayer",
            def:
                type: OM.layer.VectorLayer.TYPE_LOCAL
                renderingStyle: marker
addPoints(darray, eventsLayer);
mapview.addLayer(eventsLayer);
// Set the initial map center and zoom level
var mapCenterLat = 51.14076;
var mapCenterLon = 0.88016;
var mapZoom = 8;
var mpoint = new OM.geometry.Point(mapCenterLon,mapCenterLat,8307);
mapview.setMapCenter(mpoint);
mapview.setMapZoomLevel(mapZoom);
console.log(heatLayer);
mapview.init();
Here is the getStyle() function definition, it simply returns a style for the heat map to use.
function getStyle(){
var colors = ["#C6DBEF","#6BAED6","#008fff","#00abff","#00d5ff","#00ffff","#00ff7f","#00ff00","#7fff00","#ffff00","#ffd500","#ffab00","#ff7f00","#ff5600","#ff2b00", "#ff0000", "#A50F15"];
var config = {
    spotlightRadius:25,
    lengthUnit:"pixel",
    colorStops: colors,
    opacity:0.65,
    sampleFactor: 1
var heatStyle = new OM.style.HeatMap(config);
return heatStyle;
and here is the addPoints(darray) function which is responsible for plotting points on the layer:
function addPoints(darray,layer) {
/*lat,long,estb,metric*/
for (i=0;i<darray.length; i++) {
      var fid = i;
      var mpoint = new OM.geometry.Point(darray[i][4], darray[i][3], 8307);
      var f_attr = {attributes :{"Car Number":darray[i][0], "Event":darray[i][2], "Time":darray[i][1]}};
      var feature = new OM.Feature(fid,mpoint,f_attr);
      layer.addFeature(feature);
I apologise for the code dump, but I thought it would be necessary to help troubleshoot.
My issue is that any layer using the "marker" style displays the points in the correct place, but the heat layer, which uses the "heatStyle" style, stacks all of its points at 0,0 which is somewhere just off the west coast of Africa! You'll notice the call to console.log(heatLayer), investigating this reveals that the correct GPS coordinates are being stored in the heat layer's feature array, it's just for some reason rendering them all at 0,0. This is what normally happens if you use an invalid SRID and it doesn't know where to put them on the map (if I change mpoint in addPoints() to use -1 as a SRID for example, then it does the same thing to the eventsLayer layer), but both layers use the same function. I have torn apart my code several times trying to understand why it's doing this, and compared it to the code in the SampleApp v406 demo and it's identical! The only difference is that I've modified getStyle() to return a static definition since I'm not allowing my users to modify the heat layer style. I've also got another visualisation with the same heat style definition and it works fine, though that is not based on a world-map but a custom one.
I've also tried clearing all caches, including the presentation layer and mapviewer server, as well as my browser's cache, and it's still not working.
EDIT: I have also discovered that any functions called from heatLayer, such as setVisible(true/false), produces a javascript error in oraclemapsv2.js "ReferenceError: layer is not defined", but only if the call is made OUTSIDE the showMap function. It looks like, for whatever reason, heatLayer works fine until showMap() is finished, and then it suddenly stops working? Remember that heatLayer is a global variable, so it is not a scope issue. What is going on?! Also, calling console.log(heatLayer) in the same function as my setVisible() call shows that heatLayer is still defined and still contains the same data, it's just that oraclemapsv2.js no longer recognises it. Is this a bug or something?
If anyone can identify what I've done wrong, I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Mark,
Can you post the create index command, as well as the contents of user_sdo_geom_metadata for the point layer?
Also, can you post the results of doing a select count(*) from the index table as well as select count(*) from the point table?
Thanks,

Import psd with layer groups in AE CC - "Retain Layer Sizes" not working

Hi All,I created some shape layers in Photoshop and grouped them separately. Then imported this psd file into AE. I checked "Retain Layer Sizes" however all the layer-groups have the same size bounding box as document size instead of at the layer size. If I ungroup them in Photoshop and then import it, the "Retain Layer Sizes" just worked fine.
Environment:
Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Photoshop CC 2014
After Effects CC 2014
in Photoshop:
in After Effects:

Thank you Rick!
Yes I noticed that. I wonder if it is possible that to make bounding box to extend to only the dimensions of the subsequent layers instead of document size? Now you can see that the anchor points are not located at right place. The reason I grouped layers in Photoshop is that I want to transform or animate one group at same time.
Sorry for my poor English

Lightroom 3 Print Moduel Layout Style not working??

Hi all,
With no change in Lightroom, all of a sudden I have issues with the "picture package" and "custom package" settings within the layout styles in the print module.
For instance, if you are in "single image/contact sheet" and you have an image selected and on screen, then when you change to either "picture package" or "custom package" what should happen is that the image is then refected in the new picture package present. This does not happen at all.
I can not even choose a present (which should work), or drag an image onto the page. It seems that "picture package" and "custom package" are simply not working at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
computer 1 is an imac using 10.6.8, and computer 2 is a slightly older imac using 10.5.8
PS. it is now happening on both our computers which are on a network??

Good point. I don't have the latest. I'll give it a try and post back to the site.
Thanks

Paragraph styles not working in pages 5.0

I upgraded pages to the newer version 5.0 and the documents that I had on my old version lost all the paragraph styles I had created. I also tried to create new paragraph styles with numeral lists and bullets and this is not working *(not applying format). The old version worked very good doing that. Do any one have had this issue? Can it be a bug? I will appreciate your input. Thanks

Apple removed over 110 features from Pages 5.2.2 and added countless bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=424&mforum=iworktips ntrick
Paragraph styles can no longer include list numbering.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder, use that.

Text Link Styles not working in Footer Section

I have a master page with a footer that has three columns of navigation text links inside.
In order to match my design I have created a customer text link style for these links.
However when I preview my site (in muse and browsers) the roll over effect (should show an underline) doesn't work.
I've searched the forums and found that someone else had a similar problem and it was down to them having a paragraph and character style stacked on top of one another. However I have checked this on my links and this is not the case.
NOTE: I have already successfully managed to create a similar style that resides in a side bar navigation panel in some of the sites internal pages and these link styles are working fine.
So, I'm not sure if the file has become corrupt or if I'm missing something that I've done wrong?
One question I have is at which point to you apply the text link style?
1. By clicking on the line of text to select it?
OR
2. By clicking further into the text box; as if you were editing it, then selecting all of the characters in the word you want to make a link. With the word selected, click on the style name in the Character Panel to apply it?
OR
3. as with the above example, once you have selected all of the characters in the word you want to make a link. Click on the Hyperlink drop down arrow (from the main toolbar) and choose the style name you wish to apply, from the drop down box 'Text Link Style'
NOTE:
I'm running version v2.3, Build 50, CL 771675
AIR Runtime: 3.5.0.600
UPDATE:
I couldn't wait any longer, so I just deleted the text boxes and styles and re-created them both and they seem to work now. Lot of additional work though that I'd rather have not had to do.

Sorry, I forgot to say, to see how the email link at the
bottom of the page should look please see www.bethhockley.com

Dreamweaver CS4 Errors, Spry widget not working. Please Help!

I am redesigning a website and downloaded an html file from the present contact page. I opened it in Dreamweaver and I started to have this errors. The html file I opened has some JavaScripts in it and I believe, the the scripts got a conflict with Dreamweaver CS4. I already deleted these files I tried to open and still I'm encountering these errors.
These are the errors I'm getting:
1. When I open the Dreamweaver, this message pop-ups:
   "While executing onLoad in RecordsetFind.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
    In file "RecordsetFind"
    findRs is not defined."
2. I click OK. Then I'm getting this message:
   "While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
    In file "Design Notes_onOpen"
    onOpen is not defined."
3. I just click OK. Then, when I open an html file to edit or create a new one, this error pops up again:
   "While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
    In file "Design Notes_onOpen"
    onOpen is not defined."
4. I will again just click OK, then this error appears:
   "The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
    Coldfusion.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
    SpryWidget.htm: has configuration information that is invalid."
5. Then, I will just click OK again. Then, when I'm working with the projects or creating a new project with Spry, it is not working properly anymore. I have to go the code and update the Spry list or content manually.
6. When I close Dreamweaver, I'm always having this error:
   "While executing onLoad in TeamAdminTempDelete.html, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
    In file "TeamAdminTempDelete"
    delTempFile is not defined"
I tried uninstalling the Dreamweaver and installing it again, but it did not work.
What should I do to make the spry working again and to remove all these annoying errors? By the way, all my Spry widgets are not working and these errors I'm encountering in all of the Sites I'm working on. How can I make it work again? I tried looking for troubleshoot in CS4, but I could not see one, only in CS3.
Please help.

See if the following helps (found in Dreamweaver FAQ)

CS4 - Acrobat 9 Pro not working on Win 8.1

Hello
We have severe problems installing Acrobat 9 Pro from the CS4 Suite. Setup always cancels the installation (see Re: Error 1603 when installing CS4 on Windows 8.1).
However, we downloaded and successfully installed a standalone version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. But the CS4 serial does not work on the standalone version.
Can you send us a serial number that works? We can provide you with the CS4 serial for verification. Please send us an address to send it to you privately.
Thanks a lot!

Go to your Control Panel, find the Windows Firewall, after you open that, you need to click on Advanced settings. Click on Inbound Rules, scroll down until you see Java, it maybe listed several times. Right click on the ones that are blocked and select Properties.
On the General tab, you will see a section called Action, you will need to tick the Allow the connection. Apply and then OK, do that for all blocked Java entries.
EDIT: Sorry I missed where you said that it wasn't showing up. Are you looking in the "Inbound Rules"? If so, did you install the 32bit version? Even on a 64bit OS, you should have the 32bit installed. You can also always add the Java entry into
the firewall setting. I will type out how to do that if you need.
I tried to upload an image for you, but the site won't let me.
Now if Java was the only thing not connecting, then you should be good to go, if you still have an issue with Java, then follow the steps again, but this time, you will need to open the Advanced tab and under the Profiles section, check the private box,
apply and OK.

Photoshop CS3 Extended Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

I installed the CS3 Master Collection that included Photoshop CS3 Extended. I've used Photoshop for going on a decade and I find the CTRL+ALT+I keyboard shortcut really handly to pop open the Image Size window.
Now, in this new version (don't after a clean format, reinstall of my XP OS) the shortcut no longer works. I check and it still has CTRL+ALT+I listed next to Image Size in the drop down menu as the proper keys, but it does not work.
Anyone having this issue?

I tried resetting the preferences but to no avail.
I'm avoiding having to do an uninstall/reinstall like the plague so If I can find what's causing it and fix it manually that would be preferred.
I have thought about running the Adobe updater but I'm concerned that it may cause more problems that it would fix (as this has happed to me before with other apps). Everything else works great and this is the only issue I've noticed.
Does anyone know if the update for Photoshop CS3 Extended addressed his issue (or knows of another cause that might be behind it)?

Extending wireless network, not working?

ive been trying to set up a new wireless network for a few days now and while i got this network up and running i still doubt if its exactly what i want.
i have extreme(n), time capsule(n) and an express(n). im using the extreme as my "base" which is connected to the internet and both the capsule and express are connected by wires. but whenever i use the setting "extend a wireless network", the stations will just become undetectable and not working at all. so to get my network to work i configured them all with "create a wireless network" giving them all the same network name which is working fine. but is this even roaming?

Welcome to the discussions!
When you are having extending difficulties, it's often helpful to temporarily locate the Express near your main router...across the room or in an adjacent room and test to see if that works.
If things worked fine for 6 months and suddenly you have problems, that may indicate that a new wireless network near you has been added at one of your neighbors, which is causing interference on your network.
Cordless phones are a real problem as well. My neighbor...across the street....can literally knock me off my network if he is in his front hard talking on his cordless phone. I found this out simply by accident, otherwise I would still be blaming Apple for stuff that worked fine for months and then suddenly did not work.
If the Express works close to the main router, then move the Express further away and test again. Most users locate the Express too far away from the main router when they try to extend a wireless network. A good starting location is a point that is about 1/2 to 2/3 of the distance between the main router and the area that needs more coverage.
Open AirPort Utility and click on your AirPort Express on the left and look for its AirPort ID on the right. Jot that down.
When you are testing the extension of the Express, move your laptop close the Express, and hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. This should match the AirPort ID of the Express, indicating that your computer is connecting to the AirPort Express.
