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.

Photoshop black in InDesign is not the same as InDesign black

Is there a solution to intensify the blacks in InDesign? If you create a black shape in Photoshop, and paste it into an
InDesign document, then create the same shape in InDesign and fill it with black and print, the Photoshop black is
really black and the InDesign black is dull. What would be a solution. I have tried the preferences and the display as
accurate black and rich black and it does not change.
Anyone know the answer?

First, you should be using File > Place to import Photoshop images into InDesign, not Copy/Paste. Never Copy/Paste. When? Never. Any exceptions? No.
Next you need to be specific about “Black.” InDesign’s default Black swatch is 100% process black with no other process inks. But Black in Photoshop can be any of, oh, thousands of different values. Is the image RGB or CMYK? What is the RGB or CMYK breakdown of the black? Have you tried creating a swatch with the same values in InDesign? If this is a photograph with a very dark or black background and you certain that this “Black” is consistent throughout the image?
Since your new here, I'll let you in on another secret: ALWAYS tell us the version number of the program(s) you are using and your OS. It likely makes little difference in this case, but it is often necessary to answer many questions. Not giving us that information up front causes us to either ask you, delaying your answer, or not ask you because we just can’t be bothered asking that question for the two hundredth time.

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:

Photoshop shape layer gradient fill bug

I use shapes filled with linear gradient turned 90° from its default position. And every now and then, when I select the given shape layer (with the move tool or directly in the layer dialog) the gradient jumps into the default rotation position. The thing is, if this happens, there´s no way I can turn it back.. if I type a value or try to rotate the gradient, it always jumps back.. even if I create a new shape, the rotation function is set to default and won´t move a degree.. Normally a PS restart helped to solve this.. but today, the problem remained even after that.. I will reboot the system and hopefully it will work but.. if anyone has experienced the same problem or has any suggestions, please help.
PS CC 2014 (latest update - though this problem I´ve had since the first CC), OS 10.8.5 (Maybe updating to Mavericks?)
thanks in advance!

I do not use a mac however on windows if I have a gradient filled shape layer I rotated the the gradient fill. If I accidentally click the solid fill or pattern fill icon when I click back on the gradient fill icon the angle is the default 90 degrees it does not remember that the fill was set to 0 or 180.
I have not observed any problem with the move tool but I seldom have a shape with a gradient fill. I normally use a layer style gradient fill on a solid 50% gray filled shape,

PPro CS6: Effects used on Adjustment Layer not the same as direct on clip

Hi,
I'm using the PPro CS6 Demo on a Core i7 with 12GB Ram, GTX 580 1,5GB on Windows 7 Ultimate.
Today i applied the gaussian blur filter to some clips to remove the moiré pattern in the downscaled videoclips - as I do it quite often with PPro CS5. It removed the pattern as it's always doing - fine.
Then I remembered the new Adjustment Layer function within CS6 and tried this in the same sequence, with the same clips and the same configured gaussian blur filter. The moiré pattern slightly improved, but the effect wasn't the same as before. It seems that applying this filter on a clip or on an Adjustment Layer isn't the same?
I didn't tested this with other filters, so I can't say if the gaussian blur is the only filter affected.
Anyone has a similiar experience or can explain this?
Thanks!

There is a very common misstatement and misunderstanding of how adjustment layers work, which I'll repeat here: "Applying an effect to an adjustment layer applies the effect to all layers under the adjustment layer."
That's wrong in a subtle but important way.
What actually happens is that applying an effect to an adjustment layer applies the effect to the composited result from all of the layers under the adjustment layer.
This is an important distinction, because it puts the adjustment at a different place in the order of operations in the rendering pipeline.
Anyway, that's a long and perhaps overly theoretical way of saying that, yes, you may see some difference between applying an effect directly to a bunch of clips compared with applying the effect to an adjustment layer over that same bunch of clips.

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.

Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative clouds not the same?

Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative clouds not the same?
Idea was to store date in one place. I have subscribed to photographer option

Do you mean you are trying to sync files from Creative Cloud to mobile and it doesn't work? I don't know much about Lightroom. It's better to ask your question at Photoshop Lightroom.

Windows Firewall issue, Inbound rule opend all, still not the same as turning off

This is Windows Firewall issue on Windows 8.1 Pro.
Backup Exec server cannot expand a computer node in selection list. I drill down to Microsoft Windows Network/Domain/Computers, then when I tried to expand a Windows 8.1 Pro computer node, it hangs out.
I narrowed this problem to Windows firewall related issue on Windows 8.1 Pro computer.
When I turn off Windows Firewall on Domain profile, Backup Exec Selection expands the computer node of the Windows 8.1 Pro computer. So, I created an inbound rule opening all to BAckup Exec server as following, but it's still not the same as turning off
Windows firewall specifically on Windows 8.1 Pro computer;
Any Local IP address, Any Remote IP address, Any port, Any protocol, All Interface, All Programs and Services, All profiles(Domain, Private, Public)
And there are no rules blocking any which may override the above rule.
Ethernet on Windows 8.1 Pro computer shows profile is linked with Domain, but just to make it work, I selected all profiles.
Even though I opened all available in inbound rule, it's still not the same as turning off windows firewall. Why am I missing?

It looks as something related to RPC(UDP 135), but even when inbound rule is all open, why it matters? RPC seems working fine only when firewall is turned off on domain profile.
Protocol 17 is UDP

I'm trying to update my Photoshop CS5, but continue to receive the same problem every time. The application manager update dialogue box simply states "some updates failed to install." There's no specific error code, but a link to contact support for further assistance. It doesn't take me to customer support, but does take me to a screen which states. "Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product." I've checked my account and the product serial number is associated with my account., so I don't see any problem. I have not been able to find a resolution to this problem, so I hope that someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you!

PSD file on mac, opened on PC not the same colors??

my PSD file has a specific color i need, PMS 300 in my logo. So on my MAC i make it. When someone at my work opens the PSD file on a PC, it is not the same color. why arent the colors the same?? even when i save it as a PDF, if someone on a pc opens it at my work. its a different shade of blue.

Windows based PCs are sRGB by default. Many apps are not even color managed and can't display images tagged with other profiles correctly.
Photoshop and Bridge are color managed, but what are they using to view your files?
Add to that users who are not educated in color management and you have a problem.
Those who target their files for commercial printing use Adobe RGB, a much larger gamut that will look desaturated in an sRGB environment like Windows.
So either they get a viewer that can read these tags, or you will have to send them a copy of the file converted to sRGB.
This can be found in Photoshop's Edit menu.
Edit > Convert to Profile... if your image is already tagged as Adobe rgb
You can still keep your Adobe RGB tagged files for print, but you have to explain that to your Windows users.
It's not the best answer, but might hold until all PCs are on the same page and your co-workers educated.

Can I download Photoshop cc more than twice on the same computer

I had problems with my computer,can I download Photoshop CC more than twice on the same computer?

Hi problm,
Yes, you can , it will be counted as second activation if you have not deactivated the previous install & activation.
I have checked & found that you have deactivated from one machine & it is active on one computer, this entitles you an install.
Incase it does not help you, please contact adobe http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

Log-on client 200 is not the same as BI clients "600"

Hi Experts,
My data load got failed and when i checked the error message, it says " Log-on client 200 is not the same as BI clients "600"".
Diagnosis
You are using client-dependent BI functions in client 200. However, the standard BI client is 600.
System Response
The function is terminated.
Procedure
Maintain a destination in the BI standard client. For information, see SAP Note 522569.
I went through the sap note and checked the maintenance of rfc desination. But not able to uderstand this issue. Do anyone have good idea about this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Anand

Hi,
In BW, you must work on only client. As the error said, you log on to client 200, but using 600 client as the connected one. Please check the source system conncection whether it is given for the default client in RSADMINA table BWMANDT field or not. if not change that.

Line item Ship-to Info is not the same in Header Ship-to Party During Sales Order Creation via IDOC

We have observed that during creation of sales order using idoc, the line item ship-to party is not the same with header ship-to. The ship-to party info in line item is equivalent to the header's sold to party. To give you a quick background, Sold to party info is given in idoc and ship to party is being determined using table EDPAR. In this specific scenario, sold to customer is not the same with ship to customer.
Initial checking on the code leads us in function module VIEW_KUAGV. This FM populates partner details of sales order header and line item in program LVEDAF1Z
Below is the code for Sales order Header. Notice that WE_INPUT parameter which contains Ship to party is passed as exporting parameter in FM VIEW_KUAGV. This is the reason why Ship to Party is populated correctly in sales order header but not in sales order item.
Initially, it first set to Sold-To Party. However, if WE_INPUT is given or provided, partner details is set to Ship-To Party.
Please advise on how we can make the ship to party info in header and line item be consistent. This is SAP Standard program which why we are hesitant to make change on the program. If there is a configuration to make this happen, kindly advise.
Regards,
Rommel

Hi Jayesh,
If I understand you correctly, you want that when creating SO from Quoatation
the Ship to Party also follow/copy Ship to Party from Quotation, right?
Just to confirm with you, when you creating SO reference from Quotation, you
use copy/follow-up function, am I right?
You can do this by setting in configuration of Copy Control (like mentioned by Hui).
Step as follow :
1. Go to IMG->CRM->Transactions->Basic Settings->Copying Control for
    Business Transactions
2. Create your BAdi (Business Add-In for Copying Control), such as get Ship to
    Party value from source document and use it in current document
3. Use this Rule you have created in BAdi (no. 2), in copy control transaction type
    IMG->CRM->Transactions->Basic Settings->Copying Control for
    Business Transactions-> Define Copying Control for Transaction Types
4. Here you set Copying Routine for your transaction types (put name of your Badi
    created in step no. 2)
Or alternatively, you can set it on access sequence in Partner Function
Ship to Party in configuration. You can define access sequence the Ship
to Party is taken from Preceeding Document -> Ship To Party
1. Go to Partner Function access sequence :
    IMG->CRM->Basic Functions->Partner Processing->Define Access Sequence
2. Create new access sequence with following entry :
    - Source COM_PARTNER_A (PrecedingPartner)
    - Check Mapping for Partner Being search
    - Partner Function in Source = Ship To Party
3. Assign this Access Sequence in you Partner Function used in Sales Order Transaction
   Type.
Tell me if this is what you looking for

With iTunes match, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer

In my iTunes on computer, I have several smart play lists. Within each playlist, songs are set to a certain order. Some playlist songs order are organized by name, some playlists are organized by Album, some playlists are organized by artist etc.
When I was syncing my iPhone and iPad directly with my computer, the playlists on my mobile device had same order of songs as on my itunes in computer.
Now, I signed up for iTunes match. With iCloud sync, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer. In fact, order of songs within a playlist appears to be completely random. Moreover, order of songs are different in my iPhone 4s and iPad 2
How can I change the order of songs on my mobile devices or how do I make iTunes match to sync my songs such that within a playlist, my songs are in the same order as that of iTunes on my computer.

Thanks mracole. I assume this means order of songs will work with regular play lists I iTunes match. Will try it this afternoon and report.
Please let me know if my understanding is not correct.
Best regards and thanks once again.

I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.
