Photoshop made layers not visible?

I tried to refine the edge of a photo,but still having the quick select tool selected, i clicked on the background, and now everything is showing the checkerboard. Please help?

It's kind of late to say this, but you can go into the History panel and step backwards to undo the Quick Select.

Mac Photoshop layers not visible to Windows user

I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Mac. My client requested a PSD file saved with layers, which I provided. Her web developer is on Windows CS6 and is unable to see the layers in the file. Do you know why the layers are not visible to the Windows user?

Look under your PS Preferences > File Handling
How are you sending the file? Some email programs can alter files.
If you are saving a separate copy for your Windows users, see that layers is checked in the dialog.
Here's a screenshot for suggested File handling settings.

Photoshop CS2 thumbnails not visible in Windows Explorer

I have Photoshop CS2 running on XP Pro, and all of the thumbnail images for my PSD files show up as black squares in Windows Explorer. The files I created in PS6 still show their thumbnail images, but once I load them into CS2 and save them, they're gone. Any ideas as to what's causing this?

There was a DLL called psicon.dll provided with early versions of Photoshop that made .psd thumbnails visible in the 32 bit Windows Explorer. I don't know whether later versions of .psd files might be incompatible.
For modern systems, especially 64 bit systems, there is no Adobe-supplied icon shell extension - one has to go to commercial (but inexpensive) software from one of a couple of companies out there who provide the proper codec:
Mystic Thumbs: http://mysticcoder.net/mysticthumbs.html
Ardfry PSD Codec: http://www.ardfry.com/psd-codec/
Of course, if you investigate these double check to be sure the software will work on your system.
Before paying for anything you might also check to see if you have the Maximize Compatibility setting checked in Edit - Preferences - File Handling.
Hope this helps.

Psd (from photoshop cs5) layers not showing correctly

When importing a psd into Fireworks (cs5 - 11.0.1.7), I'm seeing layers visible that were hidden on the photoshop view of the same psd. Also, some of the gradients and brushes aren't be imported properly. Would it make sense to save the psd down to something like cs4 compatible before saving it for import to fireworks?

Well, just found one solution... Library > Previews > Discard 1:1 previews and then zooming in on each photo in the Library (Loupe) forced the update. This needs to get fixed!!

Shape layers not visible in PSE 8

I am making flyers tonight and I have noticed that I can't keep shape layers visible at all times.
I am creating flyers to hang on boards for people to pull off my phone number. Therefore I want to have lines indicating where I should cut and how far. However, I can't keep these lines visible unless I am selcting the layer. I read an answer to a similar question and they answered that they should chose a different foreground color from the background color. I already have a white background and black foreground color yet still i can't see the layer.
any ideas?
thanks many times.

Thanks for the tip, Garry.
However, readjusting the layer visibility also did not make any difference. For the purpose of printing all visible, I created all shapes on one layer and clicked on it while printing so I can see everything. Really, no idea why nothing worked.
cheers,
D.

Layers Not Visible

Hello- I have an odd problem. When I open a specific flash
file the layers name are gone as well as the regular icon to create
a new layer. Can anyone explain what may have happened and what are
my options.
Thanks in advance

Something obviously is corrupted. Very hard to say what
possibly could be the reason.
Considering all the varieties of computers (specs) software,
software drivers and so on...
Reinstall flash and hope for the best. The only thing you can
do.

PDF layers not visible & won't print

I have a PDF that was sent to me that is comprised of 2 layers. When I open the PDF in 9.0 Pro, both layers flash on the screen momentarily and then Layer1 disappears and only Layer2 is visible. If I turn off visibility of Layer2, Layer1 appears. If I turn on visibility of Layer2, Layer1 disappers.
Then, when I try to print, only Layer2 will print. I have to configure Layer2 to "never print" in order to get Layer1 to print. I have tried to "merge" layers, but that doesn't seem to work. I have tried to "flatten" layers, but Acrobat just seems to freeze.
Only when I click on Advanced > Print Production > Output Preview and have the "Simulate Overprinting" checked does the PDF appear as it should. However, it won't print that way. Any ideas on how to get BOTH layers visible at the same time AND able to print?

After posting I kept researching and found the following:
If a PDF has been created with overprinting you must do two things to get the PDF to display properly and print.
Enable Overprint Preview: Edit > Preferences > Page Display - Change "Use Overprint Preview" to "Always". This will force the PDF to show everything. You can turn the feature back off later if you wish.
Enable Overprint Printing: File > Print - Click on Advanced button - Click on "Output" - Place a check in the box "Simulate Overprinting". The PDF should print as it displays on the screen.

Old photoshop version downloads not visible in My Products

I have purchased both PHotoshop 6 and 7 years ago thru Adobe.com, and need to download a copy to my new laptop but there are no download links.
thanks ,Del

Nope, forget that. You will have to find them elsewhere. That is eons ago and they no longer exist even on the Adobe servers, so this method won't even work. That aside, they probably won't install on contemporary operating systems, anyway. You may be looking for something that is bound to end up in frustration and failure...

Mac OS Chrome browser - Muse Photoshop buttons not visible

Anyone please?? I have to handle this :/

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.

Document NOT visible. Doc tab and layers ARE visible. HELP!

Installed Photoshop CS5 months ago. Have completed dozens of projects with only the occasional crash.
Yesterday it crashed "Photoshop needs to close".
When I reopened the file, the document is not visible.
The document tab is correct and the layers are intact and visible.
Tried opening other psd's, same results.
Will not create a new document, New document panel does not appear.
Moved same psd to laptop, opens like a charm.
Vista, 32 bit.
The file that crashed was a larger file, but I've definitely worked on much larger files consistently.
Could not find other posts regarding same issue.
Do I need to reinstall Photoshop?
What went wrong?
Thanks bunches, appreciate it!

Your graphics card driver needs updating/ reinstalling and you may need to disable OpenGL in the preferences. Anyway, you'd get much better and quicker answers, if you posted your questions in the right forums, so keep that in mind next time and use the PS specific forum.

DNG changes made in LR4 not visible in LR3

I am working on a MacBook Pro with both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4 installed. I wanted to test my assumption DNG is a DNG and that changes made to a DNG in LR4 would be visible in LR3, so I made changes to a DNG in Lightroom 4, clicked Update DNG Preview and Metadata and then exported that file as a DNG. I imported that DNG into a different Lightroom 3 catalog and the changes were not visible, even after choosing Read Metadata from File. Those same DNG changes were not visible in Bridge either. The changes are visible in the Finder, but not in Preview. Anyone know why and how I can make Lightroom 3 recognize the DNG changes made in LR4?

Your DNG is original-image-data + an adjustment recipe stored as metadata that tells LR how to display and export the image. Your DNG does not contain adjusted image data like a TIF or JPG would.
Your adjustments are probably in Process Version 2012, new to LR4, and only understood by LR4 and ACR 6.7/ACR 7.x and newer. The embedded JPG preview in the DNG is what LR4 put there.
There is a difference between a DNG being understood as a valid raw file by older Adobe products which it can, and those older products knowing how to interpret the adjustment recipe, which they can’t.
Specifically, LR3 doesn’t know how to interpret PV2012 adjustments, since it was last updated in 2011 and only knows about PV2010 and earlier.
Other non-Adobe programs, like Finder, can only see the embedded JPG preview which is the LR4 rendering, but LR3 re-renders the image using its own interpretation of the settings it can understand.

Plugin Dialog not visible in Photoshop CS4 64bit

Hi all,
I am new in the world of photoshop plugins. I am using adobe photoshop CS4 64bit environment.
I have converted a 32bit plugin into a 64bit plugin. I have succesfully loaded the plugin .
Now my problem is when i click on the pluginName from the menu list, my plugin dialog is not visible. I am using DialogBoxParam API to show the
dialog within the "DoUI" method but this API(DialogBoxParam) is returning an error value. I have used the GetLastError and got the below mentioned
error:
Error 1813: The specified resource type can not be found in the image file.
The 32bit plugin is running succesfully with this dialog resource. I am using the same .rc file which i am using in 32 bit plugin.
Please help me, it is very urgent for me..
Thanks in advance.. Any type of help is highly appreciated. If anybody has any problem in understanding my problem please revert me back i will try to
make it more clear

Hi,
I think i have not described my problem well..
I'll try it again to make it more clear..
I have a 32 bit filter plugin, which is running successfully on Photoshop CS4 32-bit environment. Now i want my plugin to be run on CS4 64bit environment as well. When i tried to run my plugin in the 64-bit environment with all the 64-bit settings which are required, my plugin is not loaded succesfully. Then i used a sample 64-bit plugin(Dissolve) and put my plugin code inside dissolve plugins code. Changed the dissolve.r file with my plugin .r file and dissolve.rc file with my plugin .rc file. Now my plugin is loading succesfully but when i click the plugin from filter menu list, my plugin dialog is not shown. I do not understand why is it happening? Plz provide some information.
Regards
Hemant
