Editing Adjustment Layers Not Working

Using Photoshop Elements 10. I am unable to edit an Adjustment Layer. When I doubleclick the layer thumbnail or click layer content options, nothing happens. This is the case with new files as well as files that had adjustment layers created with Photoshop Elements 6. Fill layers work ok, but adjustment layers such as Levels and Hue/Saturation won't work....need help desperately.
Thanks

Good evening. I am using PSE 11 Mac version and I am having the same issue as the original post. I am unable to edit adjustment layers. No problem with fill layers.
I have tried your solution, which worked on deleting the file, but PSE 11 is still not letting me do anything with the adjustment layers.
As an FYI, I am also unable to select any of the "Window" menu selections, such as "Actions", "Histogram", etc. I am attaching a quick screen capture to show the menue that I am talking about.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Edit adjustment layers not working

When I add an adjustment layer, it adds the layer but I am unable to make any changes and there is no 'pop-up' box. I can rename the layer by clicking it but it doesn't open the editing box. It worked before the last Photoshop update 5 days ago.

Adjustment Layers not working in Actions CC

I am attempting to use the actions panel to edit a large number of product shots quickly. I have disabled the generator, which was a possible solution I saw in another post, closed my photoshop, opened it up again and tried it on a new file. None of my adjustment layers do what I set them out to do, but they do show up as layers in my layers panel. The only part of the action that works is my smart sharpen. I created the actions in CC and I don't know where to go next.

Now that you disabled the generator plugin, you probably need to record the actions again, because having the generator plugin enabled, plays havoc on
recording actions. (some stuff is not properly recorded with the generator plugin enabled)

Adjustment layers not working in CMYK MODE?

Hi Guys
I have a photoshop issue and was wondering if you could shed any light on the matter?
When ever i set my document to CMYK mode, some of my adjustment layers become 'un-selectable' such as the Black & White, vibrance and the exposure adjustment layers?
They work fine in RGB mode but was curious if this was common place?
Any information woould be greatful

but surely the black and white one does? or am i wrong there?
It would seem you are.
You can still use Hue/Saturation as a work-around.
how do i go about finding that particular thread?
That’s no thread but a headline in the Help; personally I prefer to download the pdf:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/index.html
I am working in cmyk as the poster i am producing is for print, so the document is put into that mode for that purpose.
If you are using/combining photographic images this approach may not be ideal and incurs the risk of overshooting the TAC.
On the other hand if you have lots of text, fine lines or other elements that are supposed to, for example, print in pure black working in CMYK would be called for.

Adjustment layers not working in CS4

I just installed Photoshop CS4 and I can create an adjustment layer, but the editing box for that particular adjustment layer does not come up. It works just fine in CS3 on the same computer. I have a G5 (non Intel). Any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks, Beth

Look at the Adjustments Panel.. new in CS4. Window > Adjustments
There are no dialog boxes anymore.

LR2 and PS4 - merging to HDR, merge to Panaorama and Edit in Layers not working

Hi,
I've recently upgraded from LR to LR2.1 and Photoshop CS to CS4. I've been trying to multi-select images from LR2 and edit them as HDR and Panoramas using the "Edit in->" merging options.
None of them seem to work. I can see PS CS4 being opened, but then nothing happens. No image is opened or dialog box shown anywhere. Closing PS doesn't prompt for any saving, etc.
I think the problem is because my RAW/DNG files are stored on a NAS. Trying to do the merge from PS directly using the files also doesn't work. But if I copy the files to my local HDD, then things work a lot better.
Is this a known issue with CS4?
iMac, OSX Leopard, 4Gb RAM.

I have done some more tests:
Setting up CS3 as "Additional External Editor" in LR2.1 Edit/Preferences/External Editing works fine with RAW ( .NEF ) files on NAS-drive.
Also CS4 as "Additional External Editor" works the same way. The procedure is the same as when CS3 was the standard editor, ie exporting a TIFF file from LR2.1.
The difference is that the standard CS4 integration is not writing TIFF files från LR, but has a more tight integration to CS4, which is much faster. But still not working when RAW files are on NAS. ( LR catalog files are on local disk ).
Configuration:
Dell dimension 9200
Windows Vista Home Premium ( 32-bit )
D-link DNS-323 NTFS file system
Lightroom 2.1
Photoshop CS4 Extended
Latest updates installed.

Effects on adjustment layers not working in PPro CC 2014

I am trying to use an adjustment layer to add an effect to my entire project (about 3 minutes). When I add the adjustment layer and the effect, nothing happens. I can apply the effect directly to a clip and it works fine.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Thanks for the help,
Catherine

Mmmm.. maybe there is indeed an issue with the adjustment layer, I have a project that I opened up and wherever I have adjustment layers, they all show as black image...if I check off the effect, then i see my footage underneath.. but as soon as I add an effect (in this case, brightness and contrast + Tint), then it goes to black... changing the blend mode doesn't do anything either...

Adjustment layers not working CC

Hi all,
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I am trying to get a solid adjustment fill layer to clip to the layer below it. I can get the little bent arrow and the layer it is clipped to is underlined, but the screen is still filled solid with the fill layer's color. It is not acting as expected and masking to the black lines of a black and white drawing, just filling the whole canvas with color.
I have tried resetting my pref files and tried it on another computer. I am fairly certain the issue is an ID10T error on my part.
Thanks so much,
Corey

There is no transparency/ mask channel anywhere in your setup, so I'm not sure what you expect. Linking a solid background layer with another layer - umm - leaves it solid at 100% opacity. You realyl need to watch a tutorial on how to do this the right way...

Adjustment Layers Not Functioning

I have Photoshop CS6 and suddenly I am unable to use adjustment layers. I've been using Photoshop for over 15 years, and the procedure has always been the same; create an adjustment layer then click the circle on the left of that layer, and a dialog box appears where the curves, levels and such may be controlled. Clicking on this circle no longer produces the dialog box.

Thanks again Gene. In the past I've had to throw out the prefs file more than once but it's been so long I forgot that. I don't want to upgrade my OS because I've heard this and that about the higher systems. But what plugins would you recommend?
Not to pester you, though. If you don't want to respond I won't pursue it. Keep up your good work.

The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I can't find anything on a webpage

The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I cannot search a page. If I am looking for the word "Doctor" and I know it is on the page. All I get after typing the first letter is that the typing box turns red.
This is not fun.

Make sure that <b>[] "Match case"</b> on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

FCP 7.0.3 ripple edit in timeline not working

FCP 7.0.3, AVCHD/proRes 422 LT, ripple edit in timeline not working. Using the ripple tool, I click on the edit point, drag the cursor to the clip and direction I want to trim but it doesn't work. pop-up says collision on V-1. Same thing when I double-click the clip to player and try to move the edit point on the scrub bar. This was functional in prior sessions. What's happening? Thx in advance.

I'm only using one (V1) track. Prior to this problem I was unable to insert edit. That problem mysteriously vanished after an unsuccessful phone support session w/ Apple failed to solve. Also when I try to insert w/transition (default cross-dissolve) the transition is applied to the opposite edit point,ie: out point of insert clip has transition instead of in point where it was applied. When I try to add transition to edit point (CMD-T) it doesn't work.
I'm slowly working around the ripple edit malfunction by using the razor tool and ripple delete (shift-delete) to trim in the timeline.

Saved Shopping Cart Display/Edit functions are not working

Hello SRM experts,
The problem that I have is that the buttons like Display, Edit, etc are not working on a saved Shopping Cart. What is the best way to debug this problem? How would I find out what methods are being called on the SRM system or if some entries are missing in some table for BUS2121?
We are on SRM 7.0 PPS SPS 5, Portal 7.01 SPS 5.0.
Thanks,
Mani

Hi Mani,
We are also facing a similar issue. Our protocol is HTTP throughout but still the issue persists.
Can you shed some light on any other config that you changed?

Adjustment layers not editable?

I have just upgraded to CS4 and am trying to add an adjustment layer, but when I click on the icon at the bottom of the palette and select Hue / Saturation I don't get the actual adjustment any more.
All I get is the adjustment layer showing in the layers palette.
I can click on Edit Adjustment... BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. I don't get the adjustment dialogue.
I have tried adding an Adjustment Layer from the Layers menu, but I still miss out the dialog stage and end up with the adjustment in the layers palette but again no way to edit it.
Is there a new way to add adjustment layers?
Is there a new hidden preference somewhere?
I am using a Mac with OS 10.5.7 and a 2 x 2.8 Ghs Quad-Core Intel Xeon MacPro.
Any ideas?
C

Welcome to CS4. Check out the adjustments panel here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/WS3B030337-01D1-45b4-A006-E3ECA67B14B9.html
There are some tricks to returning to CS3 behavior. I just use CS3 when I get fed up with the non-modal (or something) brilliance.
