MAXIMUM layers in Photoshop?

Hello, how many layers supports photoshop?
greetings and thanks

Apparently God gave us sandflies to prevent it being paradise. Tiny black specs of viciousness that can really spoil your day. Thankfully they don't bother me too much, but they sure upset the tourists.
My last four flickr uploads were all taken within a mile or two from our house:

How Can You Bring Illustrator Cs5 Layers into Photoshop Cs5?

Hi everyone, Is it possible to bring Illustrator artwork into Photoshop so that the layers in Illustrator are layers in Photoshop, and so that all the content is arranged as it was in Illustrator.
What I have been doing is bringing in a shape or a group of shapes into Photoshop by pasting them into a layer in PS then bringing in some more stuff from another layer in Illustrator and pasting that into another layer in PS but obviously it's a mission to line up the contents again so it is arranged like it was in Illustrator in the first place.
Any help appreciated
thanks Gareth

No, it doesn't say how to do it there
Well, then you probably haven't read carefully enough about what can be set up when exporting as .psd in Illustrator.
When you export as .psd there are several export options about preserving layers. As mentioned, there are some restrictions.
But tell me, what is unclear about the following quote?
Write Layers
Exports groups, compound shapes, nested layers, and slices as separate, editable Photoshop layers. Nested layers that are more than five levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer. Select Maximum Editability to export transparent objects (that is, objects with an opacity mask, a constant opacity less than 100%, or a blending mode other than Normal) as live, editable Photoshop layers.
Preserve Text Editability
Exports horizontal and vertical point type in layers (including nested layers up to five levels deep) to editable Photoshop type. If doing so compromises the appearance of the artwork, you can deselect this option to rasterize the text instead.
Maximum Editability
Writes each top-level sublayer to a separate Photoshop layer if doing so doesn’t compromise the appearance of the artwork. Top-level layers become Photoshop layer sets. Transparent objects remain editable transparent objects. Also creates a Photoshop shape layer for each compound shape in a top‑level layer if doing so doesn’t compromise the appearance of the artwork. To write compound shapes with solid strokes, change the Join type to Round. Whether or not you select this option, all layers over 5 levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer.

Illustrator layers: can i maintain my layers in photoshop?

when i bring my illustrator file into photoshop
is there a way to maintain my layers?

Yes you can maintain your Illustrator layers in Photoshop.
When you export your Illustrator as PSD file, choose in the "Photoshop Export Options" windows - Write Layers. Also check mark the option - Maximum Editability

Open as Smart Object as Layers in Photoshop?

I apologize if this has been addressed already, but I am looking for a way to open Smart Objects as LAYERS. I do compositing work and would like to retain as much information as possible by using Smart Objects PRIOR to going into Photoshop. My current workflow is to highlight the photos in Lightroom CC > Open as Smart Object in Photoshop CC > Manually Drag layers from each open file in Photoshop to main PSD.
Edit - Opening as Layers in Photoshop then applying the Camera Raw Filter is not a good work around, information is lost.

I must still be doing something wrong here..............
You have the wrong expectation—namely because you don't grasp the concept. A smart object is not a linked file. It's a new file all on its own (in PSB format) with no connection to the original file at all.
davepinminn wrote:
…I can open my raw (.dng) into Photoshop as a smart object. And in PS, I can open the smart object into ACR. Works fine. And I can change stuff. For example, if I change the exposure from -.25 to +.20, it changes perfectly in PS, as I'd expect. But, I'm still not getting the changes back to the original raw (.dng) file…
There is no reason why the changes made to a Smart Object oject should be refleftef to a totally unrelated file.
davepinminn wrote:
…Do I need to do something different to get the changes back to the original file…
Yes. you have to go back to that original file and apply the changes directly to it. In a previous post, Jeff Schewe told you of a shortcut to achieve that:
Jeff Schewe wrote:
When you are in the Camera Raw SO with ACR open, go to the main flyout menu and select Export settings to XMP. This will write the new image settings from the SO to the xmp metadata. Then in Lightroom, select Read metadata from file in the main Metadata menu. That will bring in all the settings of the raw SO back into Lightroom. So, while not automatic, it's not as bad as writing down the settings and entering them by hand.

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.

Can't view all layers in Photoshop

Hi everyone,
I can't seem to view all my layers in Photoshop (using CS6 via Creative Cloud on a Mac) when I'm duplicating from another file. I have two files usually open - my mockup file I'm working on for a UI project, and various templates files which I'm trying to add various UI element so that I can cut and paste various UI elements into my file. I duplicate a layer group and send it to my file, and they'll show up in the Layers panel, but the content isn't displaying on the screen - I've double checked that it isn't buried somewhere and is visible. Or I've had it where the Layer will display, but it'll transform the contents into a Layer that loses the ability to edit the text.
When I've tried it with various files, I've had mixed results of what I can add to my mockup file. I duplicated layers from a PSD of grds (http://www.ravelrumba.com/photoshop-grids/) ok into my new file, but when I try and duplicate a layer that has a photograph or any Vector art and send it to my destination file, the Layer shows up in the Layer panel but the content doesn't show up on the screen. It works for some PSDs ok, but often not with others. This is true for individual layers and a group of layers.
Is there something specific I have to be able to do to make content display?
I tried the 'video card' issues that I've read about, but someone told me that's more something that affects PCs (I'm running a MacBook Pro).
Any ideas?

I think you solved it! I just looked, and a few of the layers in question ARE off the canvas - so at least I'm seeing them now once I've zoomed out and seen the entire canvas and black background area. I think I wasn't thinking about that because a lot of these template files of all possible UI elements are huge in size, so when I added it to my much smaller document, they are by default going to be off the canvas (especially if the canvas size is 2000 x 8000 pixels!) of the other document. I was thinking somehow that they'd show up by default closer to the middle of my document.
Thank you so much for this!

Is there an issue with Edit Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014?

The command Edit > Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014.1 does not seem to produce the expected results for me. For example, I used the Edit > Auto-Blend Layers command when I was doing the exercise on Adding Depth of Field starting on page 122 of the Photoshop CC 2014 CIB. The results: Instead of the foreground and background being both in focus, only the foreground was in focus. The background was out of focus. And, when I turned off visibility of the foreground layer, the background layer showed as transparent.

There seems to be.
See this thread:
Since installing the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago, Auto Blend for focus stacking is selecting all pixels from the bottom layer instead of selecting the ones in best focus from each layer. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Error Importing Video Frames to Layers in Photoshop CC

I'm trying to import video frames to layers in Photoshop CC, the most recent edition. I'm using a Mac OS X Maverick version 10.9.2.
The video I'm working with is a .mov file with the following codecs: Timecode, Linear PCM, CEA 708, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
When I import frames to layers, the window is black. *Note: The audio works here, picture does not appear.
When I select OK, the layers are transparent.
This issue is specific to Photoshop CC. I tested the same .mov file with the same codecs in the most recent edition of Photoshop CS6, and import video frames to layers worked successfully.
I also tested the same .mov file using another user's computer and their edition of Photoshop CC, and experienced the same issue - black screen, transparent frames.
This leads me to believe it is an issue specific to the Photoshop CC software.
Is there a fix for this, or do you have recommendations on ways to convert the .mov file so it's viewable in Photoshop CC?
Thank you for your help.

Option missing to open images as layers in Photoshop.

The option to edit in Photoshop CS4 from Lightroom 4 and return is just fine. However, the option to Open images as layers in Photoshop is grayed out as well as the option to open as Smart Object or Merge.

These other options work differently than the simple "Edit in..".
The method that does work for you, with CS4, is using Photoshop as a standard external editor by means of a "dumb" interaction. LR does all the work of converting the image into a bitmp and then saving it as a TIFF or PSD. It knows just enough about the other program, to tell the operating system to start the program executable and to pass it the file that has already been created. Then it keeps an eye on the file, watching for modifications saved to it by the other application.
The only compatibility needed between the two programs is: that PS (or whatever) can understand a TIFF or a PSD made by LR; and in return, that PS (or whatever) can save a modified file which LR can display.
The extended options you mention, rely on LR getting PS to get ACR to do all the work of conversion, and then in due course, for PS to take care of file creation too, and furthermore, to tell LR which file has been created where. This is partly because several conversions are involved rather than one; conversions made directly into Photoshop's memory space but not yet onto disk; which is ACR territory.
In order for this more complex interaction to happen, LR needs to be talking to a fully-compatible PS and ACR partnership - which it knows will properly read all its adjustments, and include them in the bitmap information. At present, from LR4, that means either Photoshop CS6 with ACR 7.x - or else (as a special concession), Photoshop CS5 with ACR 6.7. Unless one of those two setups is detected, these forms of interaction are greyed out. Sorry

Some layers in Photoshop cannot be seen, is this a buffering problem?

Some layers in Photoshop cannot be seen, is this a buffering problem?

Maybe these layers' visibility has been disabled. That'll be the case if there's a space where there normally is an eye to the left of a layer name in Layers panel. Click the space/eye to toggle visibility.

Merging layers in Photoshop Elements 8

I'm having trouble merging layers in photoshop elements 8. I have a .psd file that I have used in the past to add a background color, shape template, and restrict the size of images I have posted to my website. In the past I have used photoshop elements 6, and to accomplish what I'm trying to do I selected open-apple - G. This worked in the past, but is not bringing the layers together as expected. I went online and found that I could accomplish this by holding down option and clicking on the line that seperated the two layers, and this worked for me once and I have been unable to repeat it since. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to apply a style to these web photos, and it's simply not working for me. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

Looking at your image, you do know you have a layer set/group,which is like a folder in the layer structure? You can't apply a layer style to a folder, which is what you're trying to do in your screenshot.
This gets very confusing because of adobe's switching the names for these things around:
1. You have what used to be called a layer set and is now called a layer group, which is a folder in the layer structure. PSE doesn't natively do these: is this your image with the group created via an add-on, or did someone send it to you this way?
2. What used to be called layer groups are now called clipping masks. That's when you want to do something like crop the visible part of a layer to the shape of the layer beneath it.
It's not really clear where you want the layer style, why you have a layer group, and which layer you want the style on. If you can explain more, it would help.

Unable to link layers in Photoshop CS

I have Photoshop CS. In the box showing the layers I've made, there is no longer a small checking box to the left of each enabling me to link a layer with others. If I hold the cursor over the looped "link" symbol at the bottom, an "unavailable" symbol appears. Does anyone know how I get the link boxes back please? Thanks David5119

Thank you. I didn't know I could select more than one layer by holding down the Ctrl key and that, when I do that, the link symbol appears. Don't know at what point the link check boxes disappeared as they were certainly there originally; maybe when I reinstalled Photoshop for some reason. But a big thank you - your advice worked.

Hi,
It sounds like you have an photoshop version cs2 or newer.
To link layers in photoshop cs2 and newer versions, the layers you want to link need to be selected first in the layers panel and then press the link icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

Adjustment Layers and Photoshop

Is it possible to import adjustment layers from Photoshop to use in a Premiere Pro CS6 timeline? This could open up some options for color grading.

http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/importing-still-images.html
excerpt:
Import a layered Photoshop file
When you import a layered file saved in Photoshop file formats, you can choose how to import the layers in the Import Layered File dialog box.
Note:
Some Photoshop layer attributes aren’t supported, such as special blending modes and the Knockout option. For best results, use basic transparency and opacity in Photoshop. Adobe Premiere Pro does support most Photoshop blending modes.
Premiere Pro imports attributes that were applied in the original file, including position, opacity, visibility, transparency (alpha channel), layer masks, adjustment layers, common layer effects, layer clipping paths, vector masks, and clipping groups. Photoshop exports a white background as opaque white, whereas it exports a checkerboard background as a transparent alpha channel when exporting to a format that supports alpha channels.
Importing layered Photoshop files makes it easy to use graphics created in Photoshop. When Premiere Pro imports Photoshop files as unmerged layers, each layer in the file becomes an individual clip in a bin. Each clip’s name consists of the layer name followed by the name of the file that contained it. Each layer is imported with the default duration you select for still images in Preferences.

FEATURE REQUEST: Preserve Transparency of Files when Opening As Layers in Photoshop

I am a digital scrapbooker and I have begun using Lightroom to organize my digital scrapbooking supplies. A file format that is very common in digital scrapbooking is PNG format. However, PNG is not setup to accept metadata so part of my workflow is converting the PNG files to PSD files to retain the transparency and adding the ability to add metadata.
This works very well for me - when I want to scrapbook, I can search for my supplies by color, etc. and then choose Edit In, etc. The biggest drawback is that I can't do Edit In > Open As Layers in Photoshop without losing the transparency in the PSD (formerly PNG file). The transparency is retained when I choose Edit In> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5 > Edit Original.
So if you all could do something to preserve the original and still open it as layers in Photoshop, that would be wonderful!
Kayla Lamoreaux

Another request that goes along with this one - is allowing transparent files to retain their transparency in the Print Module. I am building storyboards and would love to be able to add a transparent TIF or PSD file on top of photos before printing.
Thanks!

Specific size for Open as Layers in Photoshop

Using Export/Edit In/Open as Layers in Photoshop, is it possible to set a specific image size so that all files open the same size?
This would be great as I only need small files to make a collage out of many files both small and very large ones.

Not possible at present, but you should submit a feature request http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom/lightroom_feature_requests?view=discussions
