Mask layer not visible in layers palete

I have a strange problem, when I apply any kind of mask to a layer in motion 3, the mask icon shows up on the layer to which it was applied in the layers palette, but the mask layer does not show up underneath the layer to which it was applied, thus i can't select the mask to adjust the controls of the mask, I can only toggle it on and off,
I would assume this is a simple user error, but for the life of me I can't find a "show mask layer" setting anywhere,
any insight on this problem would be hugely appreciated.

the disclosure triangle for the entire group is twiddled, showing my layers and any added effects, but for some reason the only thing that shows the presence of a mask is the small square icon on the video layer, but as there is not layer beneath the video layer to click on to adjust mask controls... i have been watching m3 tutorials and the mask always creates a layer in the palette when activated, but for some reason it's not with mine...
???

Mask layer not in Layers tab

I have sent a video clips from my FCP timeline to Motion and added a Circle Mask to it. But somehow my hand slipped and I hit a key.... because now I do not see the mask layer in the Layers tab. And I need to attach a Match Move behavior to it.
I can see that the mask is still there (it is present on the Timeline).
What did I do to seemingly toggle off its presence in the Layers tab?
Thanks

sure enough...
Thanks.

Mask Layer not working in cropping to stage Flash

I've read through umpteen Flash threads of frustrated users who export SWF and anything visible outside the stage appears in the SWF when opened in a browser. None of the solutions have worked for me. My file is called statement_onlineheader.fla. It can be seen here http://www.mediafire.com/?yrmgnoynihw. Anyone know why this does not work for me?
I have my mask layer above a folder containing all other layers. I have also tried moving the mask layer above individual layers. Same result. Stuff outside the stage appears in the exported SWF.

Very true. So what do you think is wrong with my file? The top layer is marked "Mask" when I control-click it, and it doesn't matter if I put it over an individual layer or not. The top layer is a rectangle the size of the stage, yet this layer (which is checked as a mask) does not mask what is below it.

Photoshop Mask Layer, see through multiple layers.

Dear All -
I am a new learner to Photoshop and working on Layers and Layer Mask to obtain see through multiple Layers effect.
Below is the description of my problem that I am looking forward towards resolution in this forum. I will be glad if some expert can guide me on this.
I have three layers of different colors as below.
Layer 1topmost layer) with Red color filled rectangle.
Layer 2(below Layer 1) with Green color filled rectangle.
Layer 3(bottom most layer, below Layer 2) with Blue color filled rectangle.
When I erase something with brush on Layer 1 using masking Layer 1, it hollows the erased part and start showing the Green color of Layer 2 in hollow section of Layer 1.
What I want to achieve is that, when I erase Layer 1 using layer mask, then it should hollow Layer 1 as well as Layer 2 and should show Blue color in the hollow section of Layer 1.
i.e: Hollow section made on Layer 1(using Layer Mask on Layer 1) should also be applied on Layer 2 so that Layer 1 and Layer 2 becomes hollow using eraser and I should see through Layer 1 and Layer 2 and Blue color of Layer 3 should be visible from the hollow section.
Though I can do this by Flattening Layer 1 and Layer 2 together so that it forms one single Image, and then when I hollow this Flattened image using Layer Mask, then it will show me Blue color. But I do not want to do this, as I would lose the flexibility to unhollow/recover the hollow region on both Layer 1 and Layer 2 independently in the future.
Thank You,
Saurabh Khanna.

Here's a sample of copying the layer mask onto layer 2 using a hard cutout.
Here's the same thing using a soft feather cutout.

Layer Not Visible in IE

Hi --
On this page:
http://catenion.thelegatogroup.com/secondary.htm
I have an
abolutely positioned DIV (#secnav) within the DIV #banner. In
FF the layer
displays as it should. However, in IE it's not there. This is
one of the
few times I've used layers, and I'm not sure how to go about
fixing this.
Can someone take a look?
Thanks,
John

The thing is, I didn't have a horizontal scrollbar which I
think is odd.

FOI Layer not Visible - Urgent

Hi All,
I have created a base map and able to view the map in HTML client. I have created one geometry theme for which I want to add as a themebasedFOI on the client side.
I have gone through the mapviewer examples and coded accordingly. In the mapviewer server , I can see output statements which states that features found for FOI theme , but still not visible on client side on the basemap.
and more query is regarding cache invalidation -- I created a tilelayer cache derived from the base map. What config should be done so that if any change in data , mapviewwer should invalidate the current tile cache image and generate new image based on the modified data. I have currently set the life time and interval time in mapviewer_Config.xml , but no change in tile cache if any data is changed.
Can anyone help on this?
Suresh

your problem seems to be that you didn't purge the cache of the map
you can purge chached metadata of the data source from
localhost:7001/mapviewer/faces/admin/admin_ds.jspx
if u changed some themes you can purge theme @ this page
http://localhost:7001/mapviewer/faces/admin/admin_memcache.jspx
about Map Tile layer
you can search about action of the two buttons "Bring Online" and "Take offline" of your tile layer from Manage Map Tile layers pages
http://localhost:7001/mapviewer/faces/admin/mcs_admin.jspx

Abacy

Mouse wheel not supported in layers palette

CS3 is not FW8. Just want to be clear about which version you
are using.
In CS4, on Win XP, I can use the wheel to scroll up and down
in the
Layers panel

CS6 Vector Shape not visible in Layers Panel

Anyone have any idea how to get my shape outline back? Adjusting the panel preferences has no effect. Really obnoxious bug, since obviously I can't even see my shape until I select it (and even then, it's pretty hard to find).

I'm having issues with text layers in photoshop. Text layers show it's there but not visible on the canvas.

I'm having issues with text layers in photoshop. They aren't visible. I've checked font size, alignment, layer order and color. And the layer list shows that it's there. All seems well but I still can't see the text that I write. Need help trouble shooting. (I asked this question about a month ago but I got sidetracked and never circled back.) Thanks.

Please refer to your original topic (Text Layer not Visible.) instead of posting a new topic.

Drag clipping mask layer to new layer problem

Ran into something I think is a bug.
I have an object with a clipping path on Layer 1. I have a simple stroked path on Layer 2. I marquee select both items.
As usual, I can only drag one "Selected Art Indicator" layer color dot at time in the Layers palette. I drag Layer 2 color dot to Layer 3. Now if I immediately drag Layer 1 color dot to Layer 3, the object being clipped suddenly escapes its boundaries.
I have to click on Layer 1 in the Layers palette to highlight the layer. Now I can drag Layer 1 to Layer 3 and the object and clipping path move perfectly.
Is this correct behavior?

Please show some screenshots including the layer panel. Most probably you have a layer based clipping mask. They come in to flavors: object based (via the menu) and layer based (via the layer panel)

Moving mask layer also moves layer underneath

Ref: Lynda course http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=55426 Last item in Chapter 2, "Pasting into Layer Mask" demonstrates that after pasting the layer mask (sketch of a tree) onto another layer, you can then move it into place with the "move" tool. While following along, when I tried to move it, it also cut out and moved the layer that I pasted the tree onto. I noticed that the "move" tool has a pair of scissors attached to it that I can't get rid of. I figure that's the culprit. What am I **** wrong? I have the mask layer selected in the layers panel and doing everything as in the tutorial. I repeated the tutorial 3 times with the same result.
I have CS4 Windows.
The files "drawing" and "sketch" are the lesson images. The objective is to make a layer mask out of the tree sketch and to place it onto the "paper" layer and then moving it into place as if the hand is doing the sketching. "layer cut out.PSD" is my result. You can see part of the drawing pad is cut out

I got it! (I think) I did not have to deselect anything. I can move it as long as I click on the unselected part of the layer mask AND the chain unlinked. The tutorial did it with chain linked and moving from within the selected area of the mask (tree). Maybe her workspace was set up differently but I set mine up according to her directions as well. Lynda.com will have to explain that one, but I'm happy as long as I was able to do it. By the way, those tutorials on Lynda are great for the most part and definitely worth the money. I just wish I had more time to sit through them all.
I know you guys are way beyond this petty stuff, but if I get stuck here I'm in trouble. Thanks.

How re-size layers palette when bottom not visible?

The bottom of my layers palette is below the visible part of my computer screen...becasue I am now working away from home on my laptop (and the layers palette is showing up the same size as it was when I last used Illustrator on my large monitor screen). How do I re-size it, so I can use the items at the bottom of the palette?

Nope...tried that! It does not seem to allow you to re-size it from the top. You can make it more narrow from the sides and shorter via the bottom, but it doesn't seem to allow you to drag and re-size from the top. But your other option DID work...thank you SOOOOO much!

(Layers Palette) When selected, layer is highlighted in grey, not blue.

When I select a layer, it is highlighted in grey (in the layers palette) and I am unable to edit it. My current process for making a layer editable is as follows:
Select layer (highlighted in grey)
Double click layer (opens "Layer Styles" dialogue box)
Close "Layer Styles" dialogue box
Layer is now highlighted in blue and can be edited.
I am currently running Photoshop CS5.1 on a windows machine which is using Windows 7.
Any thoughts?

Howdy.
Where are you clicking on the layer?
Did you try to reset your preferences by holding CTRL+ALT+Shift as soon as your start Photoshop?

Layer mask suddenly not working, how to fix this?

Please help!
I have been using the layer mask before and it has worked fine until now. Suddenly it only paints black and white colors, not revealing or hiding as it should. I have the mask layer selected properly. I have reset the brush tool and all the tools. I have the brush mode set to normal.
I tried also the eraser, it paints black too.
I'm using Photoshop CC.

If you hold the Alt|option key when you click on the Layer Mask icon in the layers palette to target the layer mask Photoshop will display the layer mask in the images window not the composite image. Layer Mask are gray scale channels. All you can see is the mask Black, White and Gray. Could you have Displayed the layer mask by accident. Are you sure you have the layer mask targeted to show the composite image or could you have targeted its to show the Layer Mask instead of the composite image.

Layers & stuck in opacity mask layer CS6

Hi,
I have two layers. Upper most with text is locked.
Bottom layer is an image I have applied a transparency/gradient mask for the raster image. Now, seems my layers palette is stuck in a mode called 'Layers (Opacity Mask)'.
Not seen this before, but this is CS6. How do I get out to the main, root level of the layers palette?
thanks!

In the Transparancy Panel, select the left icon.
You have select the right icon (to edit the Transparancy mask)

Ton
