New shape layer auto applies the same layer effects as previous ones

Everytime I draw a new SHAPE layer it auto applies the same layer effects I applied to the first shape I drew in a document. I can’t find anything online about turning this annoying setting off. So for example, if I draw a circle and apply a gradient overlay and a drop shadow then every circle I draw from here on out adds the same effects automatically.

To draw a new shape layer without the layer style applied to the
previous shape layer:

Filter Effect and Layer Style in the same layer vs separate layers

I'm adjusting a photographic image and am using both a filter effect and a layer style in the same layer on a Smart Object. I want to separate the two effects into two layers, so one layer has the filter effect (Nik) and one layer has the layer style (Color Overlay) (with the goal of merging/rasterizing the Nik filter effect with the Smart Object but keeping the layer style unmerged). I can make two layers and move one effect without problem, but the visual result of each effect on a separate layer is quite different from having both effects in the same layer. The Blend Mode for all my layers is Normal. Within the Color Overlay panel, the blend mode is Linear Burn.
I don't understand why the visual result is different. I'm not an advanced user of Photoshop, so maybe I'm missing something. This is a trial of CS6 that I'm using.
Layer 1: a layer style and a filter effect, stacked
looks very different from....
Layer 2: a layer style
Layer 1: a filter effect

If you want two separate layers, then on the duplicate layer with the Color Overlay layer style you might try different layer blending modes.
For example, below looks the same having the Color Overlay with linear burn on the second layer and changing the layers blend mode to Hue.
You could also put the layer in a group and apply the layer style to the group.

Layer Mask and Vector Mask on the same layer

Hello guys,
maybe this is a stupid question, but i am having trouble understanding this one...
If you make a selection on a layer and click the mask button, you create a mask...
But if you hit the mask button one more time, Photoshop puts a vector mask on that layer,
right beside the layer mask.
To be honest I haven't been able to do much with that vector mask, i experimented with it, but i just
can't figure out, how it interacts with the layer mask next to it (if it interacts that is).
Can someone help me understand please?
What's the usability of having a vector mask next to a layer mask on the same layer?
An explanation with a paradigm would be nice!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
They both will mask the image. One will be pixel based, the other editable vector. Here is and example of round soft mask on Mona combined with a hard edged vector mask (on top of a still life by Frida!)
How you can use this is up to you.

Photoshop CC Shape Layer Gradients Not the Same as CS6

I'm demo-ing Photoshop CC, and I came across an unexpected behavior when opening a CS6 PSD.
I have a shape layer that is composed of closed curves which use the path operation "Intersect Shape Areas." In CS6, I added a layer style with a tight gradient that is vertically positioned to show a certain part of the gradient, and the gradient seems to be confined to only the visible intersection of the paths.
In CC, however, the gradient seems to be applied to the entire region of the paths, and not just the intersection - as if there were no path operation performed. Here's an image to show what I mean:
The only way I could reproduce the desired effect in CC was to merge the shape components. But, I'd rather be able to keep the shapes editable at a boolean level.
Is there some setting that I'm missing?

I don't want to just start a new thread with the same topic so thought I would tag onto this one.
The behaviour described by K_SEREBY is something which I am also experiencing, and for me is a bit of a deal breaker. For files opened in CC which were created in an earlier version gradient fills/ styles on shape layers do not appear the same.
The only way to have them appear the same is to do as K_SEREBY says and "merge shape components", which is a completely destructive way of working.
It isn't something which is consistent either across Layer Styles, gradients behave as described, whereas inner glow, inner shadow and stroke for example all work as they did before, taking into account shape interaction.
Having said that using the stroke feature of vectors available on the top bar again works differently as shown in the below image. On the left the result of 3 interacting vector shapes with a vector stroke - no stroke visible. On the right the same shape with the same stroke effect but after merge shape components has been done - vector stroke visible.
It's all very confusing and not very pleasant to use, is there a work around? The video linked doesn't shed any light on the problem at hand, only highlighting something else which doesn't even show up for me when a shape is selected i.e. Live Vector Properties, but that is another story.

Is there a way to add multiple outlines on the same layer?

Hi there! I'm trying to add an outline to text or objects through the style fx, then I want to add more outlines. It would be nice if you could just add a new stroke like in illustrator. I don't want copy the layer and just do a thicker outline behind it, the point is to have it all on the same layer .. just wondering if thats possible. Thanks!

You have been given two approaches which may meet your needs. There is another way that offers independent control of the styles, but you do use multiple layers.
Assume you have a path that defines your object and lets say you want to apply three different styles and have independent and ongoing control over each. Create a new blank layer for each style. On each of those layers apply a brush stroke to the path, say a 1 pixel stroke whose color is also the background color as an example. Now on each of those layers apply your chosen layer styles. That is what I have done in this example:

Multiple Tweens on the same Layer?

Is it okay to have more than one new-style tween on the same layer?
I seem to remember reading that you shouldn't do it.
I was mad at Flash CS4 and CS5 because I wasn't able to make the animation work like After Effects, as far as animating something, having it rest, and then animating it again. I know you can do this already, however, if you add easing you could mess yourself up as the ease gets applied to the entire tween. I wanted to be able to tween something with an ease, then let it rest, then tween it again, again with an ease.
Tonight I discovered this: Place CTI over last frame of first tween, select object, copy. Go to next "slot" and Insert Blank Keyframe, then Paste in Place the object. Make some more frames. Then after it all make a New Keyframe (content from preceeding keyframe gets copied into it, then add more frames, select them and Make Tween. I now have 2 tweens on the same layer, each with their own easing that can't get stretched out of place.
However, when I did this I noticed, before making the second tween, that I was not able to just click the object and Make Tween from there. I had to actually make regular frames and convert them. This isn't normal. So, I'm just wondering if I got this to work through some loophole in CS5's code or if this is normal?

How do I copy parts of layers from one AI doc into a new AI doc and keep/create same layer names?

How do I copy PARTS of layers containing many objects from one CS5 AI (v.15.0.2) doc into a new CS5 AI doc and keep/create the same layer names?
To start with, I have one fairly complex AI document with 100 layers, with several hundred items in each layer. For example, one layer named "Stars" contains 400 separate stars (not grouped), another layer named "Crosses" contains 300 separate crosses, and a 3rd layer named "Text" contains 200 separate words (not outlined).
If I select, by marqueeing a section of the image/artboard, some (but not all) of the individual items contained in the several layers, then paste that selection into a new CS5 AI doc, I cannot get them to create new layers of the same name. Instead they go into one general layer (e.g. "Layer 101") as a jumble of discrete, but unorganized objects (no layers or sublayers). In other words, I have lost the 3 main layers from which I selected a bunch of objects.
Checking "Paste Remembers Layers" has no effect on this result. In fact "Paste Remembers Layers" does not remember layers at all. Only if I select ALL the items in the several layers will it paste those layers by those names into the new doc (or create new layers of the same names).
Of course it is a COLOSSAL waste of time copying the ENTIRE document, then pasting the WHOLE thing into the new doc (with layers retained), then deleting the parts I DON'T need, so please don't suggest that as the solution.

No Monica, nothing in Plug-ins other than the standard installed items (extensions, filters, formats, etc.). No 3rd-part clipboard extension on my computer that I'm aware of, either. All frustratingly basic. And my other CS5 Adobe programs appear to work well, at least to the extent that I am familiar with them.
So, from what I can tell of the various comments (thanks to all of you), am I correct in thinking that it seems I can't, in fact, do what all of you can do (that is, copy some objects from some layers in one doc and paste into another doc preserving those same layers by name and organization, and each containing the correct objects from each original layer)?
If so, that solves half my issue - "is it supposed to be possible to do it"; leaving just the other half - "why can't I do it too".
I'll get those screenshots made and posted later just in case I haven't adequately described the issue, or y'all haven't understood it.

What is the code to load a .swf file in AS3 on the same layer?

I'm new to AS3 and am trying to figure out the code for loading a .swf file on the same layer of the same page, thereby replacing all of the information. I don't want to put it on layer 2, etc. Another easy thing I can do in AS2 but am struggling with in AS3.
thanks!
Steve

There are no 'layers' in AS3 - there is just the display list. You can use addChildAt to add things at a specific depth - thereby placing it behind or above something, but if you just use addChild it goes on top of whatever is currently there...
Anyway - to answer your question, you can load a .swf with a Loader object like so:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.load(new URLRequest("myFile.swf"));
addChild(l);
You can wait for complete like was shown, but you don't have to. And this will not 'replace' anything - it just loads myFile.swf on top of anything currently being shown. If you want to 'replace' what's there you need to remove it first:
while(numChildren){
removeChildAt(0);

Several layered effects of the same kind but with different adjustments for the same layer

Hi,
I wonder if it there is an easy way to have several different instances of e.g. glow or bevel and emboss on the same layer.
I know I can achieve this by using smart objects or a duplicate layer with zero blending.
I just wondered if there is a way to do this directly in the layer effects.

Hi emil emil,
thx for your answer!
I wasn't even refering to different objects on the same layer, btw. it would be enough if I was able to layer e.g. different bevel and emboss on top of each other (With different colors, softness and size.) But I guess the answer remains the same.

Multiple copy in the same layer (was: Texts)

Hi all,
I'd like to know if there is a way to quickly copy multiple times the same word in the same layer
So if i want to make a sun through a word i will make something like this
     sun
sunsunsun
     sun
In photoshop for example i can create a text brush (in After Effects i can't, right?) and i can make the same in Flash CS6 (using the 3d brush) but it slows down the program
So how can i solve this problem?
- It should not be "heavy"
- I would like to have total control of what i can make (like what i can make using Photoshop brushes and Flash 3d brush tool)

Consider using a topic with durable subscriptions rather than queues to
          accomplish the duplicate forwards. This would be higher performing.
          If you then use the BEA messaging bridge to forward from the queue to the topic
          no application code is required.
          On another note, if the message copy must be atomic (all or nothing) use a
          transactional MDB
          to encase the receive and the duplicate sends in one tx. Otherwise a crash
          may lead to a partial copy, and it will be hard for your app to determine
          who received what already, causing lost messages and/or duplicates...

Problems when trying to colour on top of things on the same layer

When i start drawing, and then go to colour on top of that on the same layer, it picks a dominant colour and everything else goes underneath that, I'm not sure what i've done and what i can do to fix this

How do you apply the same transformation to multiple layers?

I've been using PS for years and never had to do this before.
I have a 3D image of a tradeshow exhibit and I want to drop in a lot of different mocks for backgrounds. The 3D is in a slight perspective and I need to transform all the mocks to fit that space.
So how do I link my backgrounds and apply the same "skew" or free transform to all of the layers?
PS version CC 14.2.1 x64

What exactly am I alt+dragging?
My mistake. I was thinking about filters and alt-dragging them to a new layer. For a transform, you most likely will want to make one master SO, apply the transformation, then make duplicates via copy from the layer flyout menu. Then you can replace the content with the other layers.

How do I get my new mac to auto cap the the first letter in a sentence?

can some tell me how to get my new mac to auto capitalise the first letter of each sentence?

Quick answer, Pages 5.0 no longer does this. Frustrating! If you have Pages 4.3, it can do it.
Also, check out the More Like This column on the right. Some people have the same question and you might find some good tips there.

Layer 0 exceeds the max layer

When I try formatting a dvd I get the message: Layer 0 exceeds the max layer size allowed please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition.
I brought in a 2 hour and 45 minute vcr video and added chapter markers. Does this simply mean the size is too big or what is it looking for?
Thank You

DUAL LAYER BREAK POINTS
Basically when burning a DL disc there needs to be something called a "break point" which is effectively a marker at what is considered a "permissable" spot for a break point. The requirements for break points have certain conditions (Layers cannot exceed certain sizes, Layer 0 needs to be larger than Layer 1 etc.) If there is not a marker that meets these conditions, then you will get various error messages.
1.) In a DL disc Layer 0 needs to be larger than Layer 1
2.) A marker needs to be placed as a Layer Break in the project to indicate the layers.
3.) You can start by assuming the marker will be right around the 1/2 point of the disc (give or take)
4.) Find the place which is about 1/2 way and put a few markers in there
5.) Build the DVD to the hard drive then select format. If there is a suitable layer break marker it will be black otherwise it will be gray.
Look [over here|http://dvdstepbystep.com/break.php] has generally the same info and some links for things to look at.
and [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11256039#11256039]

Is there a way to apply the same transition between all clips?

Or is there a way to apply random transitions? Either way I'm too lazy to drag a transition between every clip and hope there's a bulk way I haven't found yet. I'm using iMovie HD 6.0.2 (267).
Thanks!
--Daniel

Daniel,
To apply the same transition between all clips, select all the clips, select the transition (and timing) then click ADD (at the bottom right of the transitions screen). The transitions will be rendered, one at a time between all the clips. If you wish to change the transition, again select the required clips, select the new transition, then click UPDATE.
I'm not aware of any way to apply random transitions.
