ONLY screen blending mode doesn't work...?

I have Windows 8, and Photoshop CS6. All of my blending modes work, except for Screen. I don't know why it doesn't, but I do use it somewhat frequently, and it's really holding me back at this point.
Is this related to all the other problems people have been having with Photoshop running on Windows 8? Or is this an issue that I'm going to have to fix myself, somehow?
Thanks!

Do you see the problem if you disable the [ ] Use Graphics Processor setting entirely (remembering to restart Photoshop before testing)?
What video card (aka graphics adapter) do you have in your system?
What driver version are you running?
Have you looked for alternative versions e.g., on nVidia.com or AMD.com?

How to work around "screen" blending mode in CMYK document?

The document has been created in CMYK from the start. But I would like to add "glints" over the image and I normally do this by simplyl setting the "glint layer" to "screen" blending mode (when working in RGB color mode). As you all know, this does not yield desirable results when working in CMYK mode. What is the best way to get this type of effect in CMYK mode? Attached are 2 jpegs to help illustrate my point. (Text and logos have been blurred out).
Here is the "glint layer" which I usually just set to "screen mode" to take out the black, but this does not work in CMYK mode.

Okay so here is the same 2 documents again. The document on the right was the one that I tweeked, (the CMYK one). I used the "img, adjustments, brightness/contrast" and I boosted the contrast up to 100% which I feel got me the rest of the way there. This is very close to the RGB effect on the left and I feel that with a tiny bit more tweeking I can get this to work. Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I am going to credit c.pfaffenbichler with the correct answer as his comment was the one that helped me personally the most. Thank you guys for the excellent help.
So once again to clarify the correct answer. Create the doc in CMYK, grab your "glint layer". Adjust the curves and then maximize the contrast and then set the layer to screen.
Thanks again guys!
Cheers,

CS5.5 Blending Modes Won't Work?

Being an avid user of AfterEffects CS4, the transition to CS5.5 was painless.. Except for the fact that the blending modes don't work. This has halted all my projects.
What happens is that when I select a blending mode, nothing happens. It shows that I set the layer to 'add', but absolutely nothing happens. I just got CS5.5 yesterday, so I haven't changed any settings that could mess it up (That I know of).
Any help would be appreciated!!!

I'm confused. Blending modes require two or more layers. They work to blend one layer with the layer beneath it. But you only have one layer. How are you determining that blending modes aren't working?
See this for basic information about blending modes.

When Searching for attachments to mail, preview mode doesn't work

When I am in mail and am composing a new email and I click "Attach" to attach a file, the current folder comes up and shows the preview mode of every file type (i.e. pictures and pdf previews). No problems. However, if I then do a search for something (my name for example) to narrow down my choices of files or images to select, the next search level does not show a preview of the files or images, just a .pdf icon or the .jpeg icon - NO PREVIEW. This is extremely frustrating! I tried on different folders and the same results occurred. Any ideas or is this a bug?

Hi Pranava,
I couldn't reproduce this issue, when I create root folder FS0 in "Shared Documents" and start a full crawl, I click the FS0 link from search results page, it will open the FS0 folder as well as folder under FS0.
Please right-click the FS0 name hyperlink (e.g. mine is http://sp/Shared%20Documents/FS0) and paste in IE browser see if it could be accessed successfully.
Also test if other Shared Documents have this issue in other site collection or web applications, if not, run a full crawl may do a trick (please reset search index if only full crawl still doesn't work).
Thanks

Screen blend mode as png

Hi all,
I am trying to achieve a certain effect with Maxwell Render and Photoshop. What I use from the Maxwell render mxi file are basically these layers:
Background layer
and on top of this the light layer:
When I apply the Screen blend mode to the light layer this is the result:
My issue is that the final program I need the files for cant do blend modes. I must keep the two files separate. I need the 'background layer' as a jpeg which is obviously no problem but the light layer as a png with alpha channel.
How can I modify the light layer to basically remove all the black (as it does in 'Screen' blend mode). I need to save it as a png so when I overlay it on the background layer the effect is still the same.
Thank you for your help!
Julian

Thanks for giving it a go [SW],
Using two jpegs would be simple enough but there are usually multiple light layers where the light overlaps and I have to be able to call on any number of them at one time.
Up till now I have been using one image with multiple lights over one without lights but I have to manually cut the light layer into pieces to get the transparency and be able to overlap them.
Using 'select - color range' to select the red in the light layer, copy paste to new layer works quite well but it doesnt end up as clean as the screen layer blend.
My thought was that if photoshop can tell the black to go transparent in screen blend it should be able to delete it as well.
I have heard of a windows plugin called alphaworks which sounds promising but cant find anything for mac..
Any further suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Xperia Z2: Stamina mode doesn't work aparently

Hi,
Stamina mode doesn't work aparently on my phone. I try all the configurations but the sotware doesn't turn off the wifi and neither the mobile data coming from the operator when i block and turn off the screen of the device. I continue receiving information from all the apps and i haven't done any exception on the stamina configuration. Any idea to solve this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Looks like you are talking about Low-Battery mode...
First make sure that you have turned it ON. After that just see "Activation" section under Low Battery mode to find at what level it has been set to activate.. By default, Low battery mode gets activated at 20% battery level.

Layer blend mode doesn't show in export

Hi,
I am trying to export a composition from After Effects CC, I am using a Multiply blending mode in most of my layers to give it a better look.
When previewing in after effects it looks as I want it too look but when I add to AME and export it to youtube and vimeo the Multiply blending mode does not work and it shows the composition as if all the layers had NORMAL blending mode.
How can I fix this?
Thanks a lot!

Render a normal Image sequence or Quicktime clip directly from AE and convert it in AME, which would be smarter, anyway.

Color blend mode / Color brush mode doesn't work

Hello,
I have CS3, working on Windows 7/64. For some reason, I cannot get color modes to work. I would like to be able to sample a color from one area, and use a brush set on "color" instead of "normal" to paint. Instead, all it does is darken and make gray whatever color it is trying to brush over. If I try to leave the brush on "normal" but the layer blend mode to "color," nothing at all happens. When I try changing the layer blend mode to anything else, (screen/normal/difference/etc), it works as it is supposed to. Any ideas how I could fix this? Thank you so much in advance!!

Hello!
I have the same question, and what are the colors you are trying to paint on and with?
Did you try to reset the brush tool by right-clicking its leftmost icon in the Option bar?

Flashing in Windows Modes doesn't work

I'm running Windows Vista Business, and when I try to update my BIOS in windows mode, it fails.
I'm using MSI Live Monitor 3. After finding the bios (1.5), I use "windows mode" to flash.
A command-line window comes up, and I can see everything getting flashed. However, after it's done it reboots automatically. After both the initial splash-scrren and the SATA-screen showing my drives, I get an CMOS checksum failed error, and I can either start fiddleing with the setting themselves, or just use defaults.
I've tried both.
And after both times, after I get back to windows again, Live Monitor 3 says it has an update for me - bios 1.5. So I can only conclude it wasn't installed, somehow.
Before doing the install, I closed ALL programs, except windows itself. (I'm saying this, because Live Monitor 3 wishes me to close it..........)
I cannot flash via a floppy-drive because I don't have one.
Another problem is that DigiCell keeps telling med: "Failed to load driver". I have no idea what it even IS, but I'd just like to see what free software I get. :P
Thirdly, has anyone heard of problems with external USB drives and MSI mobo's? I have a 500gb My Book drive that throws I/O errors in Vista, but not in XP on another PC...
My PC is:
MSI P965 Platinum,
2.13ghz Core 2 Duo,
2048mb DDR2 RAM, 533 Mhz
Regards,
Søren Andersen

Thank you Jack!
It is indeed updated to 1.5 - I just didn't notice, since I had the full-logo thing on.
I also updated the drivers, but unfortunately that didn't help. :-(
I've been trying since friday to fix this both on the WD forum (http://websupport.wdc.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5948) and on Microsoft's tech forum (http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices&tid=dc8d09ab-0d98-452c-b2d3-a0948f756dda&cat=en_us_9F280F8D-E6BF-F78C-234A-416CF09D5DC5&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1)
but we've still been unable to fix it...
To be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with hardware. The drive doesn't work properly on this PC (MSI / Vista) but does on my laptop (Dell / XP), but it has to be checked...
Basically, it keeps throwing 0x8007045D I/O errors, but I can see noone in here has had similar problems.
So, thank you for your extremely swift replies and very great help!

Søren

Aggregation level query "value help" = Only Values in InfoProv doesn't work

Hi,
I have a problem with Selection Variable for a BEx Query :
- I'm working with SAP BI 7.0 support package 15
- My query is an input ready query built for an "aggregation level" based on "real time infocube" (Planning);
- Characteristic, I want to filter with variable, has query property Advanced->Query Execution for Filter Value Selection = Only Values in InfoProvider
- Characteristic (info-object) has set the property: Business Explorer tab--> Query Def. Filter Value Selection as Only Values in the info-provider...
My problem is:
when I execute a query,
the Select Values for Variables screen appears
I push on the Select from List button
and Select Values For MyCharacteristic appears...
but it shows me all values in master data table of my characteristic instead of only values in the infoprovider!!!
If I build a query for the Real Time Cube it works correctly, but if the query is built for the aggregation level it doesn't work!
Could someone explain me why it doesn't work correctly?
Thanks in advanced
Fede

Dear Fede,
Regarding the query built on aggregation level please note the following
the aggregation level is always a Virtual Provider built other
InfoProvider and hence it does not have the dimension table and hence
the F4 mode D is not supported.
Therefore when aggregation level is used in a query, F4 does not supportD-mode: 'Only Values in InfoProvider' and all master data values are
displayed in the value list.
Reference from the note
984229 F4 modes for input help as of SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI
4. Since other InfoProviders do not have a dimension table, the system
displays only posted values if you select "Only Posted Values for
Navigation". Otherwise, it displays the values from the master data
table.
Hope this should clarify your doubts. Please let me know if you have
questions else please confirm the message at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your cooperation and kind regards,

Clip blend mode doesn't apply to transitions?

I'm trying out the Final Cut X demo, wondering if I want to upgrade from Final Cut Pro 5, whch currently won't load on my computer anymore. Anyway, I've run into a problem that is really strange...if I want to fade in an overlay clip that has a different blend mode, like Color Burn, Linear Light, etc., the transition (I've tried Cross Dissolve and Circle) doesn't use the other blend mode. The transition will do "normal" blending only, and then the instant the transition is complete, the other blending mode kicks in. Then as soon as a transition begins at the end of the clip, the blend mode goes back to "Normal." I can't seem to find a way to apply the other blend mode to the transition. Adding effects and making other clip settings like cropping, etc. seem to work, but the transistion refuses to use my blending setting. Is there another trick I'm overlooking?
Thanks!
Shayne

More than that the blend mode applied to the connected clip, which usually effects and intercats with the clip below, now doesn't blend with it at all.
There is a weird workaround you can set up for this. Right-clcik and use open in timeline on the connected clip. Put the clip you want to blend with inside that clip's timeline. Stack them the way you want, and then step back into the project. the clip and the blended clip will be together and you can apply a transition at the beginning. This might work for what you want to do, but I can't be sure.
