CS5 adjustment layers are always clipped

When I do a new adjustment layer in CS5 it is by default clipped to the layer below. Very annoying.
I cannot find anyway of turning it off so the default it not to clip it as in previous versions.

In the adjustments panel flyout menu, uncheck Clip to Layer.

Layers are always open

hello,
I did a search on this forum without success
I'm in illustrator CS2 Vista
why when opening illustrator some layers are always open and not others?
what to do to remain closed?

Maybe for some it's not a problem really? It's not something that I've found annoying.
I think (although I'm not sure) that layers that contain sub-layers open in order that the sub-layers can be seen. Layers that do not contain sub-layers remain closed. Therefore the only way to keep the layers closed when opening a file is....you've guessed it....don't make sub-layers.

Remove CS5 Adjustment Layers as Palettes?

I know when CS5 first came out even the standard modal windows for Levels, Curves etc. were housed in a Palette and that blew my mind with hatred. It seems they've fixed that but are still limiting Adjustment Layers to the same Palette fate.
Is there any way on earth to switch back to the standard modal type window for Adjustment Layers? Forcing us to use them in a Palette window makes me want to go get a root canal.
Any help would be imensively appriciated. I've had CS5 for over a year and simply cannot use it due to this and some other issues.

Your first couple of sentences are incorrect. Nothing's been "fixed" since Photoshop CS5 first came out. Image - Adjust - Curves, for example, has always been a modal dialog.
Regarding the panel-based adjustments... Have you tried to pan the image while in a modal dialog by pressing the space bar? Oops. Sure, the panel is a little different than the dialog, but we've all had to get used to it. The ADJUSTMENTS panel was introduced not in CS5, but way back in CS4, by the way.
What is it that's bothering you about the panel?

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.

Layers are always Locked

Hello All:
I am using Photoshop CS2 and whenever I open a .jpg , .gif or use my scanner and scan something into PS the layer always starts out locked.
Is there a way to change this so it is not locked everytime?
Thanks,
Paul

No, there isn't.
Jpg is a flattened file format so the Background will always be locked by default. Double-click on the Layer thumbnail.
Gif is Indexed Mode and flattened as well. Change to RGB and double-click on the Layer thumbnail.

Adjustment layers in CS6

when I try to open an adjustment layer the working panel on the right of the screen comes up with a strip showing a thumbnail of my photo, but there is no link and no white rectangle. What is wrong? Peasashjoan

It sound like you have set one Adjustment Panels fly-out menu option at one poin in time. Adobe introduced Bugs in CS4 they don't seem to want to fix. The Adjustment layer was added to your document at a point in time that Adjustment Panel Fly-out menu Item Do not add Layer mask was most likely checked. If the Layer was added by an action it or script it may well have been added differently the the way the action or script was created to work. To create actions that add adjustment layer these days you need to edit the actions and change the way Adjustments layers are added. Actions need to add them in a way that how the fly-out options are set is not relevant. In other words all-way have an active selection present when an action add a adjustment layers. The layer will have a Layer mask. And All-way record adding the adjustment layer using the layer menu Layer>Add Adjustment Layer>Type and check the clip to previous option is the popup add adjustment layer dialog. That way the Adjustment layers will be clipped. If you record an action that add an adjustment layer any other you have no way of knowing how the layer will be added if you using a version of Photoshop newer the CS3.
These option need to be removed from the Adjustment Pane;l Fly-out menu they break thing that depend on Photoshop behaving like it historically did. Photoshop may now be set to work in different ways How new or old actions and scripts that add adjustment layer will work is a crap shoot for Actions and Script can not set or even check on how Photoshop is currently set to work.
My Advice is forget these options exists and leave them set at the default settings and Photoshop will work just like it always did before CS4....

Changes in Adjustment Layers in 8

It seems to me that the use of adjustment layers in version 8 has changed and not to the better. When working with an adjustment layer, it used to be possible to decide if you liked the effect before accepting the adjustment. One simply clicked "OK" to apply the adjustment.
In version 8 any adjustment that is made is automatically applied to the image. If one is dissatisfied, it is necessary to delete the layer and start over.
Am I right or is there a "work around" that I haven't found.
Mary Lou

I find that the adjustment layers are more useful in v.8, when combined with other tools. Deleting them, and location of palette on screen, have changed as has been pointed out. However on can build on a basic adjustment layer with presets. Try this:
Make a selection with the selection brush, lasso, or magic wand
Add an adjustment layer, e.g. levels, without any change
Access the smart brush, and one of its presets. If the selection in step #1 is a sky in the picture, the preset "sunset" (nature>sunset) can be applied to get a sunset effect. As always, adjust blending mode and opacity. Note that the name of the adjustment layer has changed as well!

Ignore Adjustment Layers option for the Eyedropper tool

The Clone Stamp tool has a button in its options that says "Turn on to ignore adjustment layers when cloning". It is hard to imagine as to why Adobe didn't do the same with the Eyedropper, it is equally important not only for creating artworks from scratch but photo retouching too.
When the Eyedropper is set to sample from All Layers, there should be also an option to ignore adjustment layers above the currently selected layer.
The lack of this feature in Photoshop makes art creation and photo retouching extremely difficult when adjustment layers are used.
To reproduce the problem:
Create several layers with some colors or images in them.
Add one or more adjustment layers on top that change the colors of all layers.
Select a layer to paint on.
Set the Eyedropper tool to sample from All Layers.
Pick the Brush tool, hold Alt to get to the Eyedropper and pick a color from any of the layers and paint.
The result is a different color because the Eyedropper picked the adjusted color and this makes painting and retouching in this natural way impossible.
The above steps is basically the most common workflow when a user paints or retouches a certain layer using the Brush tool while constantly picking colors form other areas of the image by holding Alt to get to the Eyedropper tool, similar to using the Clone Stamp Tool,

Even a »Current and Below«-setting for the Eyedropper Tool would be helpful, I guess.

Applying Adjustment Layers Only to Selected Layers

How do I make adjustment layers 1 & 2 apply to all layer below them,
but have adjustment layers 3 & 4 only apply to the indented layers
below them -- layers 4, 5 & 6? That is adjustment layers 3 & 4 should
apply to layers 5 & 6 but, not apply to the background layer.
Adjustment layer 1
Adjustment layer 2
Adjustment layer 3
Adjustment layer 4
Image/content layer 5
Image/content layer 6
Background layer

When doing this the adjustment layers are still applied to the background layer. For example, if layer 3 is a color balance adjustment layer this color change applies to all layers below it including the background. This is what I'm trying to prevent.

CS5 problem Adjustment layers only affect one layer instead of all

I am getting this problem with Photoshop CS5 I think one of the settings got changed by accident but for some reason I cannot get any of the adjustment layers Levels,Curves etc to affect all layers under them. Instead it just changes the brightness of one layer only which is the one just below the adjustment layer but not all of the others. I use Photoshop for Digital art and I was all of the layers under the adjustment to change the look of the full image instead of just one layer. Is there any way of fixing this problem? I dont know what to do

I think I know what the problem may be:
When you're adding a new adjustment layer the following checkbox is coming on by default:
You probably changed the default for this. Here's how to change it back:
Make the Adjustments panel visible by clicking the Window - Adjustments menu.
Click the little fly-out menu icon at the upper-right.
Clear the Clip To Layer checkbox.

[CS5][Save for Web][Anti-aliasing] Fine lines in exported PSD with adjustment layers

Hello,
You can reproduce the bug this way:
- link a PSD with a adjustment (Levels, Brightness/Contrast) layer in your AI file
- Save for Web, with AA for Art (not text) selected
In the exported image there will be artefacts, white lines usually.
Flattening the PSD or deleting the adjustment layers will solve the problem and anti-aliasing will be applied correctly.
I used CMYK/RGB settings, FOGRA39/Adobe RGB 1998 for all the files involved.

Hi,
I am experiencing this same problem of pixelated gifs when I use the "save for web" dialog from Illustrator, but this solution has not worked for me. I have tried the trick of using type-optimized anti-aliasing, but it doesn't change the output at all. I've done this from within the "Image size" tab as well as through Effect>Rasterize>Options)Anti-aliasing: Type Optimized. My image is a logo made entirely from text, although for some of it I used "outline path", so I'm not sure if it still qualifies as text...I'm a newbie at this stuff, so the technical details are still quite opaque to me.
Does anyone know of a solution to this that does not require me to add Photoshop to my workflow?
I'm using Illustrator in CS5, version 15.0.2.
Thanks in advance
Jonathan

Adjustment Layers causing clips to stutter Premiere Pro CC

I'm working on a music video and I have a 2:35 letterbox preset that I added to an adjustment layer. I added this to the adjustment layer and placed it over all the clips so I don't need to apply it to every single clip. Of course that's the way adjustment layers work. But on some parts of my timeline when the play head reaches certain clips it stutters or when it reaches a clip with a simple dip to black transition the clip stutters again. I know its the preset that I have applied to the adjustment layer because when I disable it or remove the adjustment layer or remove the effect from the adjustment layer the clips play fine without any issues. Can some one tell me why this is happening. My computer has more than enough power to handle this. I'm running a 8 core MacPro, SSD drive, 22gigs Ram and a ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card.

Hi AzzieScott,
Thanks for the link. Please mention, the types of footage you have in your project. If possible, please mention the make and model of the camera if you have captured the footage.
Regards,
Vinay

Why are PSE9 adjustment layers an improvement?

PSE6 has access to blend and opacity controls in adjustment layers but that's not so in PSE9, unless I'm somehow missing the controls. If that's the case, those controls are absent, how are the PSE9 adjustment layers an improvement?

More about Adjustment layers from Adobe Help:

When I drag effects onto time line clips, nothing happens. Same thing happens with adjustment layers. Nothing.

In Adobe Premiere Pro CC (Creative Cloud) I am not able to apply Effects or Adjustment Layers. Nothing happens with following the usual instructions (drag onto timeline), which are everywhere.

UPDATE: I AM able to apply effects when dragged and dropped onto timeline; HOWEVER I cant seem to apply any Adjustment Layers. On the timeline I added an adjustment layer to the entire video on Video track 3 (Video 1 &2 are taken).

Recently downloaded a trial version of CC and when trying to use the Adjustment Brush in ACR it brings up the message 'All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image'. I've downloaded this as an update to CS5 on my new i Mac. Would appreciate suggestions to remedy this. Rhonda

I think it means "the sliders are all 0 so painting adjustments with this brush won't change anything." In other words, move one of the sliders to a non-zero position, for example Exposure from 0 to 1.0, and then see what happens. You can edit the brush and change it to do something other than Exposure +1.
