Layer Adjustment Problem

Hi, when I create a layer adjustment in Photoshop CS5, a layer mask thumbnail does not automatically appear in my layer panel. I need to actually click on the add layer mask icon in the layers panel for this to occur. Is this a setting that can be fixed? I think its wrong as the tutorials I've watched - this automatically appears.

»Add mask by default« in the Adjustments Panel’s fly-out menu.

No, it is the result of your settings.

PhotoShop CC will not play Layer Adjustment Actions Correctly

My computer has PhotoShop CC installed on a brand new Dell Windows 7 computer. Previously I used CS4 and it worked great, but now I'm having issues with CC playing back any Action that has layer adjusments. I'll record an action consisting of an edited layer adjustment such as curves, levels, brightness/conrast, etc., and then when I play it back the layer adjustment applied is the default 0. For instance, here I clicked "Create New Action" and labeled it "Curves Layer TEST":
add a new curves layer adjustment and label it "Brighten":
Then I add a few points to the curve (overly brightened to demonstrate my issue):
then I hit the Stop Recording button. But when I look at the curve values in the Actions box of the very curve layer I just recorded, it says the Preset Kind is Default. Why doesn't it say Custom??? The Properties box read "Custom" as I was editing the curve!
So anyway, I open up my nexy photo and play the Brighten action I just created...
and nothing happens to the image. Oh, it now has a curves layer on top, but it's the Default straight line. What happened to the curve I edited and recorded!!??
What's the deal? This is the same process I used in CS4, CS2 and every other PhotoShop incarnation and it worked fine, until CC. Is this a bug? Or is there a new process to creating layer adjustment actions???

Adobe added the adjustment panel in CS4. Adobe also changed how the action recorded records adding adjustment layers in CS4. Before the Adjustment panel when you clicked on one of the add adjustment layer icons Photoshop would open the adjustment type options dialog window which you would set and commit. When you committed the settings the action recorder would record a single step that added the adjustment layer with the setting you set. After Adobe added the adjustment panel the action recorder records a step Make adjustment layer Adjustment type preset default as soon as you click on the adjustmet type icon. If you then make changes to the settings when you move onto the next Photoshop operation the action recorder records a second step Set current adjustment layer to type preset kind custom and settings. Adobe also introduced many problems with the adjustment panel. The two step recoding can be a problem because it possible to add steps between the two steps and the step set current adjustment layer will fail if the targeted layer was changed by the addition. The adjustment panel also has two options in its fly-out menu the change Photoshop operation. They can break new and old actions that add adjustment layers. For how adjustment layers will get added may not be the way they were added when the action was recorded. These options work more like global Photoshop Preferences actions have no control over. However the options do not alway work like set. So if you try real hard you can record actions that add adjustment layers that will alway work the way you designed your action to work. Adobe does not want to fix these problems. I tried to get Adobe to fix these bugs for years. I have now given up.

Eyedropper Current Layer sampling problem.

Using the "current layer" sampling setting for the eye dropper before I apply any top layer adjustments (adding a top layer with a different blending more or adding an adjustment layer) it works fine. When I use any adjustment layers or any layer that has a blending mode, it affects the way the eyedropper picks color especially when set to current layer.
For instance, If I paint a new blank layer with random colors, I create a black and white adjustment layer on top of that one, I select the first color layer I go to pick a color using the eye dropper with the current layer sampling set, it picks a grey color (which is wrong). BUT!! if I open up the color picker with the color layer selected it picks the correct color. Now, if I delete the black and white adjustment layer, and I am back to only having the color layer, I then go to pick a color with current layer sampling still set, it chooses a grey color again?!?! There are no more layers on top of the original color layer I painted first, and yet it chooses a grey color?!?! I hope this makes sense, any ideas on why this is happening?
I am working on Photoshop CS5 12.1 64bit

I'm having the same problem in CS5.
With current layer selected and a not visible layer of curves (contrast) and trying to pick from the current layer it picks as if the curves layer was visible.
I have attached 2 images: first trying to pick with the curves layer off (you can see that it's picking a black color where brown should be picked. Second one with the curves layer on.
After restarting Photoshop every thing work fine again. So I have assumed that the problem is vinculated with the action done before:
Duplicate image 2 times
Gaussian blur of 6px to the first image
Apply image of the gaussian (RGB channel) inverted in mode "Add", scale 2, displacement 0.
And I create a group as you can see on the screen shots.

Layer shift problem

hi there
i have problem in designing the page
i have something like
<div id="Layer7" style="position:absolute; width:153px; height:158px; z-index:inherit; left: 1042px; top: 370px;" class="cornerBL">
          <iframe

                    scrolling="no"
                    border=0>
          </iframe>
</div>
in my page if the browser window is maximized everything is ok
but when i restore the window thle layer above shifts to the right
it does not adjust the position to where it should be
i know that's more related with "html" but can anyone give an idea on this one .?
i appriciate your helps....

After I reset all preferences to default, there were quite a few settings that I wanted to restore, such as interface colors, but the quick mask was still not working. When I got down to performance, I noticed that the PS usage was up to 10230 MB or 70% of available RAM. This was new. I selected Big and Flat, same as before, but increased the Cache Tile Size to 1024K from 128K, same as before. I closed PS for some of the items to take effect. Then when I reopened, CC seemed not to recognize me, and I had to sign in again. Then, I opened a much smaller file and the quick mask seemed to be working. I opened a somewhat larger file of 200 MB and it was still working. I opened a 300 MB and it seems to be back to normal. I have no idea what really made the difference, but the problem seems to be solved. Most peculiar.

Layer printing problem

Hello!
I've a problem with a Photoshop document when printing, some of the layers disappear on the print even though thery're visible i Photoshop? Anyone know what might be wrong?
Kindly,
Kim

I didn’t mean Layer Masks, but actual additional channels as visible in the Channels Panel.
Is there a Clipping Path possibly?
Are the missing layers pixel-layers or Adjustment Layers?
Other than that you could try working around the problem by flattening the file before printing.

Drag Layer behavior problem in IE 6

I have created a simple page with a draggable layer. Works
fine in FF but if you
scroll to the bottom of the page in IE the layer is not
draggable any more. I first noticed this behavior when I created
layers with DW MX2004, so just to make sure, I dowloaded DW 8,
installed on a clean Win XP virtual PC, and the problem remains.
Please look at this example and tell me what I'm missing:
Example of draggable
layer

I have found the culprit, it is this code that DW
inserts at the top of the page:
quote:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "http
://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Now, in the first place, I am wondering why dozens of other
users did not get the same problem, and secondly, what is the
correct code to place at the top of the page???

LAYER 2 PROBLEM

I have a LTE device which has two different network cards with different MAC addresses that share one virtual IP address. The LTE device is virtually connecting the two ports, for redundancy purposes. This LTE device has one layer 3 link connected to a 6509 to get to the INTERNET.
The problem is that when the LTE device starts to use the second MAC address to send traffic to the switch (6509), the switch drops those packets. Then when you clear the arp table it works.
IS there a way to tell the switch that those two mac address belong to one IP address, and whenever one of these mac addresses initiates traffic do not drop them.
Thanks

What to do after making mask layer adjustment--other tools won't work??

I am new to photoshop and haven't been able to go through the tutorials yet. I managed to make a selection, create a new Hue-Saturation adjustment layer, and adjust the hue-saturation. But then what? There's no save button. The "apply" button is greyed out. I did File>Save but now I can't use my other editing tools (healing brush, clone stamp,etc.) They don't work and the circle are black. Please help!

You don't need to do anything to save your adjustment layer. It's done. But since that's the active layer, other tools won't work till you click back to a layer that has some pixels in it (the adjustment layer only contains the adjustment--there's nothing in it for most tools to work on). Just go to the layers panel and click the layer that contains the actual image, if you only have one layer (probably background) plus the adjustment layer.

Photoshop CS6 [ Command + Click ] Layer Selection "Problem" Solved

Good afternoon fellas,
I've recently noticed something uncommon when working with Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.8.x.
When I naturally tried to select a Layer by the [ Command + Click ] (let's say) shortcut, it failed. This little thing was driving me nuts, and I know it must be getting some people hairless, too.
Anyway(s), by looking another read-only thread, I noticed the problem has not been solved and some pretty lame recommendations were given. By try, I finally found the solution and was able to fix this little annoyance that maybe we've all been through. So here it goes the workaround, so maybe you'll never consider downgrading to 5.5 again like I was considering:
1) In Photoshop, make sure the Move Tool is selected by pressing "V";
2) In the tool's submenu, forget about selecting/marking "Auto-Select". I know it sounds nonsense, trust me;
3) Although, make sure "Layer" is selected right next to the "Auto-Select" button, and you should be done as I am.
Hope this can help a few people! I would be very happy to know, since I just created this account to help you guys out.
I don't know if this issue has been solved and posted already, I'm sorry. I just want to make sure we'll be all happy!
Cheers,
"Let it go, Jack."

Did you actually took a look into Photoshop CS 6 before posting?
Been using Photoshop since legacy 6.0.
This was one feature that started off without being able to enable/ disable 'auto-select' sometime in 2003-2004 releases which was later appended to newer versions of Photoshop.
I see your screenshot and I'm aware there is a 'tick' mark that appears next to Layer or Group when you choose either of them.
But, without enabling 'auto-select', the selection you make in that dropdown will not have any effect.
Try it for yourself.
Create a new document
Create any layer (rectangle, ellipse, whatever)
Once created, deselect all layers (layers panel should not highlight any layer)
Disable auto select. Choose 'Layer' from dropdown. Single click on the layer you just created. See what Photoshop says
Now enable auto select. Choose 'Layer' from dropdown. SIngle click on the layer you just created. See what happens in Photoshop (Layers Panel)
Cause I really wouldn't waste my time posting something wrong.
I didn't say you posted something wrong. Neither would I be 'wasting' my time in responding to a post that I feel is incorrect. End of the day, this is a community and we're here to help each other and at no time should other fellow members be deceived by incorrect information.

Photoshop CS4 Half Layer Transparency Problem

Hello, my name is Rob. I know this might seem weird, I am still new with CS4, I've been using Photoshop CS for a few years now and just switched to CS4 a few days ago, but I have a problem. When I make a new "work" (when you go File->New) the next thing I'll get is a transparent layer cut in half on diagonal. I don't know if this is a feature of CS4, a setting or a bug, or maybe something that went wrong at installation. I need some help.
I included some pictures to let you have a look.
(If I do save the image, it is fully displayed. I find this very inconvenient because I don't know where should I put the text/images.)
(Sorry for the noobish image, just wanted to show you my problem.)

Copy and paste adjustment problem/ possible bug.

Hi all
I have just encountered a very strange problem/ possible bug.
I have been working on a file in photoshop cs5 that had come from lightroom 5.3. This was then saved (automaticaly becomes tiff file in Lightroom). I then wanted to make some more adjustments to it in lightroom (using local adjustment clarity). I then tried to copy the settings of the adjustment brush from the tiff to the original raw file. This is where it gets very strange. The adjustments are copied but they are rotated ccw by 90 degrees! I can replicate this every time.
Could someone else try to see if this problem exists on their catalogs or if its a corrpution problem my end.

Noted on the bug, thanks.

Div Layer on top of Div Layer impossible problem

Hello guys,
For over 42 hours I've been puzzling myself with this problem.
Using Dreamweaver cs5.5, i have a text box with overflow:auto, because there's alot of text. On top of this layer I have another div layer with a pic that fades when the page loads. My problem is the scrollbar is beneath the layer for the pic that fades, so when you try to scroll down the page you cannot because the pic layer blocks it. In Internet Explorer it works perfectly fine, but not in any other browser.
Anyone know any way around this uberly frustrating problem?
Thanks, and take care!

Thank you for your response Murray....Below is the code. I appreciate any and all input.

Layer group problem

Mac OS X 10.10, PS CC 2014.2.1.
I have a large file with layer groups. I can click to open and close the layer group, but when the group is open, when I click on a specific layer to work on it, the layer group closes. The problem appears to have arisen after I tried saving the file and getting a "too big to save as TIFF" warning. I can't swear that these two things are connected, but before I tried to save, the layer group worked fine, and after I tried the save, it didn't.

New info. When I saved the file as a PSB file, the issue resolved. So there seems to be a bug that appears under uncommon circumstances. But there is a way to work around it.

Color Adjustment Problems

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong or what is going wrong. I am trying to get rid of green eye on a dog but I cannot seem to pick the eye color from the photo.
I'm starting with the green adjustment (not that this matters). I'm trying to pick the actual shade from the photo.
So I click on the color square:
The hues I get when the cursor is over the eye vary from oranges to yellows even though I see nothing under the cursor that looks anything like those hues. But sometimes I can get a hue that looks close, like in the shot below:
So I click and the result I get in the color adjustment often is nothing close to the color I picked. In this case it became red:
Any ideas?

I posted a problem related to this (but not exactly the same) a year ago and tried all the usual troubleshooting steps then with no success. The problem was on more than one computer and with photos from different cameras. I gave up and assumed it was a bug that would get fixed. I haven't touched the color adjustment bar for a year. Since that time I have installed a new video card, upgraded to Mountain Lion, installed every available update, and have rebooted many many times. I have also reinstalled Aperture from scratch (from disk) at least once and gone through all the Aperture updates. Today I did try trashing the Aperture preference file and rebooting. Neither worked. Prior to a year ago I had no problem.
The color bar works some times then will quit working. Other times it returns the wrong hue from the eye dropped (as described here), sometimes I get what looks like the right hue but the sliders have no effect until I "apply to entire photo" and all of a sudden the change takes effect. I was finally able to coax it into submission for this photo but it took more than a few tries.
