PSE 11 Reversing layers in layers panel

How do I revers the layers order in the layers panel? Somehow mine now works from the bottom up (the background layer is now at the bottom with successive layers above it) instead of the top down. It's messing up my workflow. Just wondering if anyone knew how to change it back.
Thanks!
Ann

Ann,
The background layer should be at the bottom of the stack of layers in the layers palette.
Try this:
Open a picture file--->Background
Open a blank layer (Layer>new>Layer)----Layer1
Open another blank layer--->Layer 2
Open a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer----->Hue Saturation 1
You should see this:

How can I view both the layers panel & effects panel in PSE 11?

I have PSE11 and purchased Paint the Moon effects. How can I view both the Layers panel and the Effects panel at the same time? Was this an option in older versions of PSE that are used in the Paint the Moon tutorials?

At the very bottom right of the editor window click the little arrow to the right of the More button and choose Custom Workspace. Then your panels will behave the way they did in earlier versions--you can drag them out of the bin, see more than one, remove panels from The Clump, etc.

Layer(s) not showing up on top of background, only in layers panel...

Hello All, Any help here would be great....briefly, PSE worked just great before, I'm on my newer MacBook Air, well within system requirements for PSE. Maverick OS. Started working with PSE and when I tried to "stamp" a brush shape (whether default brushes or otherwise), the program does something it had never done before....SEE ATTACHED. I will create a new layer to use my brush, but when I try to "stamp" it onto background, the program then creates a layer mask where I can see the brush shape AND a new layer, however ALL that shows up on the background is the icon you can see in my screen grab I am attaching here. What is this icon? (The teeny one middle right of image, black square, outlined in red, with two red circles in the middle) I called Apple, we did a few things, they said it wasn't on there end. I reset my tools, I uninstalled, reinstalled, to no avail. Last night, I called Adobe, spent 48 minutes on the phone with a guy only to be told that he wasn't "trained" in how to fix this issue and his superior would call me back within an hour. Never got that phone call, so I'm hoping (praying, begging) someone out there will have an idea of WHAT this icon is, as well as how to fix this issue. Again, I've reset all tools, the "eye" icon on layers panel shows it should be visible, I've tried layers-->merge visible, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and called adobe newbie who didn't know even what the icon meant. Any takers?!?! See below.....

Because the mask image is the same as the background, the leaves you are painting are essentially the the identical pixels to those underneath. Fill the top layer image with a solid colour and your leaves will show.
You can right-click the little red box to get to a settings dialog.
Cheers,
Neale

Layers Panel , Photoshop Elements and Windows 7

Anybody got any ideas on how to open the layers panel in photo editor?. When either using "window/layer or F11 all I get is a blank page on the right of the picture, not like the one shown on page 331 on the downloaded manual. I have only recently purchased to program, so I am new to it.

First, you do have an image open when you do this? Assuming yes try using the 'More' button at the very bottom right of the Editor screen and select 'Custom Workspace'. That should bring up the customisable multi-tabbed view. If it does and you like it, keep it. Otherwise click 'More' again and select 'Basic Workspace'. Hopefully this will reset the any display problem you may have. If not use Edit> Preferences> General> Reset Preferences on Next Launch and restart PSE.

Folders in Layers Panel

I am trying to create folders in my layers panel so that when I export them over to Flash I can make those folders into movie clips while preserving the text files inside as text files.... Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to create folders in the layers panel? I have looked all over online and can't find any help on this anywhere.
Thank you

I was watching a lynda.com training clip on Flash CS4. Paul Trani was the instructor and he was showing us how to bring in files to create a Flash Website. He told us to make folders in Photoshop Elements and then bring those folders with their layers over to Flash. That is why I was trying to find out how to do that because they even show a screen shot of pse 7 with folders over in the layers panel. Very confusing. If pse 7 doesn't allow you to do this, why would they show this being done over in lynda.com? Frustrating.

Why does the layers panel in ID CS6 affect or override Articles Panel and reading order?

In InDesign CS6 we arrange the order of content using the Articles panel and we expect that the reading order of the exported PDF will match what's in the Articles panel. In reality, we come to find that the layers panel in InDesign adversely affects the reading order. It completely ignores the articles panel which is counter to the purpose. Anyway, I've found that the reading order in the pdf ends up being the reverse order of what is in the InDesign documents layers panel. In terms of Accessibility, this is a problem and requires manual re-organization of the reading order. The Articles panel in InDesign was supposed to alleviate this process. Any ideas?

Layers Panel

When I open Photoshop Elements 10 my layers panel does not seem to exist. I have no idea why this is and seem to have tried everything but am in need of some serious help now as this problem still baffels me. Am I not doing something obvious and silly or is there a real issue?
Please help x
Thank You

The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. This is because PSE saves your settings each time you close the application. Problems can sometimes occur if you don’t let the program close properly or if you launch another application too quickly whilst closing down Elements. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts. To begin, close Elements.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option.
When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

Opening a new file in photoshopcc and the file name is displayed but no white working canvas. you can see it as a layer in the layers panel and if i draw on the grey area i can see int on the layer but not on the main screen.

I am unable to add a pattern via the layers panel

Help please! All of the sudden the "add/fill a pattern" via the layers panel on the right hand side is no longer available to me... that option is grayed out and won't let me select. I can still "fill" a pattern from the top menu's pull down menu, but that does not let me change scale, etc.
this is a vital tool to me, and I have no idea why it just stopped working.
Thanks!!!

Glad that your issue resolved itself. But, it sounds like your program is Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements. Some how your thread got posted in the Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
If the problem should reoccur, please post your thread in the Photoshop Elements Forum.

I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Ple

I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen. The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.

Photoshop cs4 - changes seen only in small layers panel window

Hello. I am operating from a mac, using Photoshop, CS4. When I make any kind of change or alteration to my image, the change shows up only in the layers panel small display window, not on the actual image. I have the correct layer selected etc.

Is the layer you are editing the topmost in your layers panel? Is it getting obscurred by a layer above it — perhaps even a blank white layer?

Can't see layers in layers panel

I can't see any layers in the layers panel, it happens after working for a while, I tried:
-Resetting the workspace
-Switching to a new workspace then switching back.

Unfortunately that didn't help, I minimized it, scaled it, and pulled it off the sidebar but nothing seems to have gotten better. I'll have to save my work and restart the application again

Export to PDF from Autocad: Acrobat always opens PDF with 'layers panel and page' shown.

Hello,
Whenever I export to PDF from Autocad, Adobe Acrobat opens the PDF with the 'Layers Panel and Page' shown.
Each time I have to manually go to 'Properties' and select 'Page only', close 'Properties' and close the PDF and select to save the changes, in order to show the just the page.
Is there a way to make PDFs always export to 'Page only' automatically as default?
Thanks!

Thakns Peter, I had seen this thread, but it doesn't really address my issue. I've exported individual chapters from the book file, all with success, so I know there isn't a file corruption issue. The problem seems to do more with memory allocation/usage.
I have tried: quitting and then immediately exporting the file, and even rebooting and then relanuching and exporting. Both of these allow me to get a few pages farther along, but still not through the entire book.
I remember back in the day there used to be a setting for how much RAM/dis c space was allocated to a certain applicatino (I knowm it was a long time ago). I didn't know if there might be something like this hidden somewhere

How do I search for a string in the Text tab of the Layers panel

I have a world map with a text layer for country names. I hide the country names as needed by clicking on the 'eye' icon for Toggle Visibility in the Layers panel. I've inadvertently hidden one name and I need to know how to find it in the Text panel so I can make it visible again. How do I seatrch for a name in the Text panel?

Just in case there is an unlocked and visible object close to the hidden one in the stacking order, you may select that object right on the artboard and then go to the Layers palette menu and take the Locate Object command.
Of course, this would be just one possible workaround to locate the hidden objects a bit easier.
