Simple Adjustment Layer Question
I jumped straight from Photoshop CS to CS3 and was disappointed to find that many of the layer rules had changed. I was used to a handy feature where I could add an adjustment layer and then by pressing Command 'G', I could make the adjustment layer only affect the layer below it. Now, Command G appears to create a new groupwhich doesn't appear to be the same thing. I've scoured the help file and can't seem to find this exact feature and what it has changed to. Probably because I never knew the official name of it. I'm sure this is a simple thing, but I've been searching for the equivalent for a while now.
Can someone please tell me how to achieve that same effect?
i Or dump them both in that group folder you accidentally created.
But make sure you set it to "normal" and not "pass through"...otherwise it won't behave correctly.

I'm following along with the tutorial "How to edit a photo in Photoshop" from the tutorial page on PS-CC. I'm on the video "Fix and create cool color effects."
I cannot get the adjustment layer to work on the lighthouse photo from Adobe as part of the tutorial.
After following the instructions, and clicking the image, I get a pop-up box that says "Could not use the color replacement tool because the target is an adjustment layer". Even when I move my mouse over the image all I get is the zero with a slash through the middle.
I'm stuck as I can't follow along with this tutorial successfully. I'm sure I have missed a simple step or something isn't checked. Thanks for the help.Hi,
Instead of the Color Replacement Tool, you want the Brush Tool, which is in the same tool slot as the Color Replacement Tool.
(i can see how that happened, because in the video it just says press B for the Brush Tool) -
in cs5
I select a layer and choose to make an adjustment layer from the bottom of the layers panel, and choose hue/saturation.
How can I make a selection just around the teeth of a person and remove the yellow? I made a selection around the teeth, feathered it, chose yellows from the drop down in the adjustments panel, though it is making changes to the whole layer and not my selected teeth.
Thanks.If you create the adjustment layer when you have a selection it will create the mask for you automatically.
If you create the selection after creating the adjustment layer or you want to mask more, you have to fill with black the masked areas in the mask. One way to do this, first click the mask of the adjustment layer in the layers palette to select it and make it a target for your edits, then invert the selection Ctrl + Shift + i, make sure that the current color is black (press the d key and if necessary x), and then press Alt + Delete keys to fill the mask. -
Hue/Saturation adjustment layer questions
1. When selecting the channel, like red and then boosting the saturation, does this mean that it is only boosting saturation to the reds in the image and there is no possibility of it boosting the saturation of greens or yellows that may reside in the image?
2. I also did separate saturation boosts to the green and yellow channel. What is then the purpose of going to the Master channel and boosting the saturation to this channel after boosting the saturation of the individual red, green and blue channels?
Thanks.1. To clarify what you meant by "fine tuning what colors are selected by adjusting sliders for the range at the bottom" my photo has a pink object and a person with reds in the skin. If I select the Reds drop down in the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and use the eyedropper to select just the pink object to use for my saturation boost, will it leave the reds in the person's skin alone? Is that how it works?
2. Does it make a difference if you boost the saturation for the Master prior to adjusting the individual colors like reds, and greens? Does the order matter if you do the reds and greens first and then the master?
Thanks. -
Adjustment Layer or fill layer for Effects
I have seen this question asked but not answered. I want to be able to apply and effect such as Boris or Sapphire across multiple clips. In AE this can be done with and adjustment layer in Avid by simply dropping the clip on an empty layer. I have seen it suggest that a sequence created with clips to be effect then cut back into the master sequence and then apply the effects. Must be a better way. Any sugestions?
Glad to have added some drama to the forum! But It keeps getting said that I don't care for the answer. I am glad for the answer but a little turned off by how some of you seem to feel it is necessary to respond. I asked a simple question and didn't need a lecture on how FCP is not Avid or AE, Duh!
I had done a quick search of the forums and had not found the answer to my question. I had read about nesting and wanted to know if this was in fact the best way to handle apply effects across multiple elements, seems it is. I also wanted to see if anybody else dealt with fx in a different way. I have been editing long enough and in enough different environments to know that no matter what program is being used you can find a number of editors doing good work with a number of different styles and techniques.
Am I not wrong when I say that nesting a single layer of video in order to apply fx is cumbersome? I do this kind of work a lot and and I end up making many revisions and yes I would prefer not to have to step into a nest in order to change my cut. Is that bitchy?
In the future please no advice. Who are you? My dad? -
Linear Wipe an adjustment layer
Hey all, simple question hopefully.
I'm developing a lower third for a group at school, and I have a bluish layer with an adjustment layer underneath which has a box blur. The idea is for the video under the blue layer to be blurred.
The blue layer linear wipes from the logo, so i figured I could linear wipe the adjustment layer as well. But when I try, I get black where the underlying image should be.
Anyone know why this is happening? How can I fix it?
Thanks,
DanI was confused at first then understood what you meant. Thanks.
If I may ask, why does it do this? Shouldn't it just behave like a normal transition? -
How to set levels values in adjustment layer via script?
I try to make a script which generates a non destructive adjustment layer for levels which already sets values for shadow levels and highlight levels. I tried the scripting listener in order to record it. Unfortunately the scripting listener only records the creation of adjustment layers but not their settings like shadow or highlight levels.
The first question here: Why can't the scripting listener do this?
So I tried to do it on my own and came up with the following script which won't work. My second question therefore is, can you help me to make a script which achieves my goal? Thanks a lot. I use Photoshop CC 2014.
var desc780 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc780.putInteger( charIDToTypeID( "ShdL" ), 60 );
desc780.putInteger( charIDToTypeID( "HghL" ), 190 );
var list126 = new ActionList();
list126.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "LvlA" ), desc780 );
var desc779 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc779.putList( charIDToTypeID( "Adjs" ), list126 );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Lvls" ), desc779, DialogModes.NO );
Here is the script which has been recorded by the scripting listener. As you can see there is no setting of the adjustment layer.
var idMk = charIDToTypeID( "Mk " );
var desc188 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref135 = new ActionReference();
var idAdjL = charIDToTypeID( "AdjL" );
ref135.putClass( idAdjL );
desc188.putReference( idnull, ref135 );
var idUsng = charIDToTypeID( "Usng" );
var desc189 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idType = charIDToTypeID( "Type" );
var desc190 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idpresetKind = stringIDToTypeID( "presetKind" );
var idpresetKindType = stringIDToTypeID( "presetKindType" );
var idpresetKindDefault = stringIDToTypeID( "presetKindDefault" );
desc190.putEnumerated( idpresetKind, idpresetKindType, idpresetKindDefault );
var idLvls = charIDToTypeID( "Lvls" );
desc189.putObject( idType, idLvls, desc190 );
var idAdjL = charIDToTypeID( "AdjL" );
desc188.putObject( idUsng, idAdjL, desc189 );

Cross-dissolve from white frame to adjustment layer no longer works in CC 2014
Windows 7, Premiere Pro CC 2014
I have a video clip in a nested sequence on V1 and an adjustment layer on V2.
I want to dissolve from a white frame to the clip using the adjustment layer.
In PP CC (not 2014) this was simple:
Starting with a white PNG graphic on V2, cross-dissolve to the adjustment layer.
However, in PP CC 2014, this causes a dissolve to BLACK over the duration of the dissolve and then a CUT to the video.
This behavior in CC 2014 is illogical. Why has it changed?
There are other ways to do this, but this one was quick and easy, and is required for hundreds of clips in existing sequences / projects.
Response from support via live chat:
thank you for your patience
the adjustment is layer is not functioning properly

[Photoshop CC (Win7 64bit)] Adjustment Layer keeps old value when I made undo.
Undo in Adjustment layer in Photoshop CC doesn't work well.
When I made undo, the photo would go back, but "Properties Panel" doesn't go back. It still keeps the same value before undoing.
Properties Panel would go correct value, after I select a another layer and select adjustment layer again.

I reopened the case for there was no fix Adobe contacted me and told me it would be fixed is some future release of Photoshop and once again case # 181675168 was closed over my objection.
I was vocal about Adobe poor excuse for support in forums. I then was contacted by Jeff Tranberry of Adobe he was asked to contact me by John Nack to see if he could change me. We exchanged some e-mails ending with Jeff writing unfortunately, you issues has been deemed low impact and has been deferred.
May 7, 2012 I called Adobe to find out if this bug was fixed in Photoshop for I did not want to buy CS6 if the Bug was not fixed. After about an hour on the phone talking to many Adobe employees including Adobe Support referenced case # 181675168 log as Bug # 2737069. I was told the bug was not in CS6. So I ordered CS6. FedX dropped off Today I installed it only to find the bug introduced is CS4 reported in CS5 is still in CS6.

CS5 Action Feature Bug
NOTES & RESPONSES
Notes from Customer
Thursday, June 10, 2010 8:21:19 PM PDT
CS5 has a bug recording and playing Actions that add Adjustments layers. Old actions recorded before CS5 and actions recorded with CS5 may or may not Play/Work correctly.
Before there was an Adjustment Panel all Adjustment Layers were added applied to all layers and you needed to clip them after the were added if you wanted it clipped. The new adjustment panel made it possible to add a adjustment layer clipped to the current layer. However a clipping parameter is not recorded by the action recorder just the type and setting are recorded.
When a make adjustment layer step is play it is either clipped or not depending on the state of the adjustment panel's clipping icon. If it not in the same state as it was when the action was recorded it will be add incorrectly. It would also be impossible to create an action that added some adjust layer clipped and others that are not.
I feel the is a serious bug which needs to be addressed. I believe the solution is simple and even old actions will also work.
Two patches are needed.
One in the Action recorder. If the step being recorded is make adjustment layer and the adjustment panel icon state is clip to layer this needs to be recorded in the action step record. If the layer is to be applied nothing extra needs to be recorded in the step record just leave it as is like actions prior to the adjustment panel.
The second patch in the Action Player. If the step that is about to execute is a make adjustment layer. The Player needs to save away the state of the adjustment panel icon. Then check the adjustment step record to see if it is to be clipped. If so set the adjustment panel icon to the clipping state else set it to the all layers state. Then do/call the add adjustment layer function/routine on return restore the adjustment panels icon from the saved state. Proceed to the next step.
I have been trying to report the bug for days. Please at least acknowledge you received my bug report.
Thanks
JJ

Custom support had me fill out a bug report at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm? name=wishform which I did but that was not even acknowledged. I demonstrated the bug to customer support by sharing my screen.
As for you forums for some reason the forum web site states my Adobe ID is disabled so I can not append or start a thread there id screen name jjmack. I created a new Adobe ID yesterday [email protected] that to seems to be disabled or I can not come up with any screen name the is availably I have tried many.

simpler then I first thought. Upon more investigation this is what I see.
I skipped CS4 and when I installed CS5 I discovered a nasty bug had been introduced is Photoshop's Action facility most likely in CS4.
Action that add adjustment Layers clipped to the current layer that step is recorded Make adjustment layer with Clip.
Action that add adjustment Layers not clipped Step records as Make adjustment layer.
When a step Make adjustment layer with Clip is played back that is what Photoshop does.
When a step Make adjustment layer is played back what Photoshop does is look at the adjustment panel clipping icon state and and if it is clip to current layer Photoshop does clip the adjustment layer to the current when is should be applied to all.
Many of the actions I have created add adjustment layer applied to all then later clip them to the current layer. These actions generate an error message if the Adjustment panel clipping icon is set to clip. Because the layer get added clipped clipping it is not available. The strange thing is the layer is clipped the way I wanted it to be. But actions I recorded where I want the adjustment to apply to all are clipped and the is no error message just wrong results.

Create a one step action that add an adjustment layer that applies to all layers.
Play that action with the icon in the adjustment panel is set to apply to all layers. Change the status of that icon to clip to layer and play the action again.
You will find the first adjustment layer was added correctly apply to all layers like it was recorded the second adjustment was added clipped to layer when it should be applied to all...

July 2 Adobe support called me once again they share my display and I demonstrated the bug for a second time. This time the stated they were recording my demo. After I demonstrated the bug they put me on hold for a while. Upon returning they informed me that there was still no circumvention or fix for this problem. They wanted to know if I was at the latest software level they were still sharing my display so I did a Photoshop Help About Photoshop to show I had the latest update Photoshop version 12.0.1. Told me they were not capable of handling this problem and would have to refer this to senior technical support that they would determine if it was a bug. What a joke Adobe junior technical support can not even recognize a bug when it has been demonstrated to them on two occasions now and also received several case update from me. Adobe you need better support personal.

I would like to apologize for the delay in providing you a faster resolution to your issue and appreciate your patience with us.
I would like to inform you that your issue has been logged as bug so the workaround is obviously to make sure the clip to layer is not enabled prior to running any of these actions.Also my Product Team and Engineering Team are working on this issue you can use the work around as mentioned above.
This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue.

Any work around does not solve my problem. Thousands have downloaded my actions. There is no way that I can contact them to make the aware of any work around. I can code around this bug but again I have no way to get the update to those that have downloaded my actions for they are free. All that is logged is the number of downloads. No registration is required so there is no way to contact the users that downloaded my actions. The problem will only be resolved when adobe updates Photoshop and fixes the problem.

This case should not be closed till there is a fix for this bug. How can Adobe Support close a bug report when Adobe acknowledges its a bug where Adobe Support does not provide a fix. Blowing smoke with statements like "if in the future a resolution or fix is possible, it will be available from the Adobe Systems product update web site". Photoshop CS3 work correctly Adobe broke the Action Player in CS4 and its still broken is CS5. "if a fix is possible!"!!! Are you joking? What kind of support is that? Do you get a bonus for closing bug reports without fixing the bug? Does it make you look good inside Adobe. I can tell you from the outside there is a foul stench emulation from Adobe Technical Support.

Dear John ,
Thank you for getting back to us with the required information and we appreciate your patience in helping us to resolve your issue as soon as possible.
I would suggest you to please go to through the KB document to move actions from Photoshop CS4 to CS5 given below :
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86020.html
Please make sure about the loaction of actions which you created or saved in Photoshop CS4, go to that location and make sure you have all the actions there.
Did it ever work in Photoshop CS5?
Try to make a copy of the action that he is trying to run, remove the 'Hide' command and re-record hide in PS CS5, put it into the action, and see if that works.
Or try making a short action along with Hide command . If this works, then something might have got changed between the version.

Adobe Support Call me and told me it would be fixed in the next release of Photoshop and asked me if they could close the case. I replyed IMO that is not the proper thing to do do what you want...

Grouping Adjustment layer with Gradient Fill layer
Page 151 of "The Missing Manual" suggests that one should be able to group a Levels Adjustment layer with a Gradient Fill layer so that the levels adjustment fades out to one side.
If I understand this correctly, the setup would be:
Levels Adjustment Layer (grouped with layer below)
Gradient Fill layer (with a gradient from Opaque to Transparent)
Photo in Background layer
but I cannot get the desired effect of original picture on one side blending through to adjusted levels on the other.
I can get the desired effect if I dispense with the Gradient Fill layer and simply manually create the gradient on the mask of the Levels Adjustment layer but this loses the advantage of easy adjustment of the gradient.
[Thanks to those who answered my question about linking a mask to a layer. As this is a separate query, I thought it best to start a new topic]Sanders1,
I thought I'd try it, myself, and got results that I did not expect...
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1OVdT0C7oX46DsPm6TrfT5xxrm3h
1 - The background image.
2 - I created a Gradient Fill layer using color (red) to transparent.
3 - I created a Levels Adjustment layer, set to reduce red and green,
leaving a blue image.
4 - I grouped the Levels Adjustment layer with the Gradient Fill layer.
Is this the type of result you are seeing? I wonder what is the logic.

Why are my eyedropper targets changing when I select my adjustment layer?
Consider this simple document with 2 layers and an adjustment layer:
Note the eyedropper targets. They read as expected:
Now, observe what happens when I click my adjustment layer (this is a new Levels adjustment that has NOT YET BEEN TOUCHED - so there should be NO CHANGE)
It doesn't matter whether the adjustment layer or its layer mask are selected, the results are the same.
Here are my eyedropper settings:
Proof Colors is off. I can't think of any other setting to play with.
This looks like a pretty huge bug to me, and it's not something I remember from earlier versions. Does anyone know what's going on?Thanks for the added clarifications Noel. Can you perhaps explain to me how the behaviour of the color sampler in the info palette is actually desirable?
Let's look at my example again. When I am trying to make an adjustment and I'm looking at my color sampler targets, I _must_ have my adjustment layer selected. Target #1 is pointed over a white pixel. Regardless of which layer I have selected, that pixel is white. I can't imagine a scenario in which the readout should be anything other than 255,255,255. That's not a feature, that's a design mistake.
If I want to see, in the readout, the value of the background image's pixel, then I should hide the layer that contains that white shape. Then, that pixel is no longer white, and the color sampler readout should reflect that. Makes sense.
If you truly and honestly believe that users are interested in the color that is a result of compositing all the layers below (and including) the currently selected adjustment layer when they are plaing with the adjustment layer controls, then the UI must temporarily hide any layers above that color sampler as soon as I select the adjustment layer. This is the only correct UX design in that scenario - so that the color sampler once again reflects exactly what is "true" - namely the pixel color on the screen that it is sampling.
And if you re-read that last paragraph you will intuitively know that that would be crazy. I mean, there's no way that a user would want to have the UI hide any layers just because he's clicked on the Adjustment Layer - he probably wants to see the adjustment in the context of the entire composition. If he wanted to hide those other layers, he'd do it himself.
I urge you to reconsider this from the perspective of a real-world user and consider logging this as a bug. I just can't see any way that it isn't a mistake. -
hello.
ive been doing this simple tutorial for a image im working on.
its creating a starry sky but when i get the desired effect in adjustment layers in wont save my effect.
blank canvas--fill with black
filter--noise 100% with monochromatic ticked.
filter gaussian blur 0.3
levels adjustment layer top black slider 190. white top slider 218. to create the stars.
flatten image.
for some reason my settings in the adjustment layer is not saved.
thanks
phil.thanks mylenium.
thats what ive been looking for.
thank you. -
Adding directional blur to adjustment layer/nested sequence
When adding a directional blur to adjustment layer or a nested sequence in MPE hardware mode the sides get dark (alpha channel shows).
When turning MPE off the issue is gone.
Already submitted a bugreport but found out its MPE hardware.
Seen this issue in a previous version of Premiere. Think it was fixed then, but now its back.
MPE on:
MPE off: this is how it should be.
Can someone test this, and see it its reproducable.
Message was edited by: Ann BensThis is how it looks for me when I take a extension with a alpha channel over a simple BG and turn Cuda on then turn Cuda off.
The image above is with GPU acceleration turned on.
This image below this sentence is with software on.
In a way it appears simliar to your findings since when my GPU accleration is turned on you can see a white boarder creeping up from the bottom and top but with it off you don't see it.
However when I turn the blur up higher and try it again I get these results.
GPU On in the image directly below.
GPU off in the image below this sentence.
I'm using the exact same blur settings in both images... In the top image you can see that white is taking over the picture.
This has GPU on in the image below this sentence.
This is Software only on in the pic below this sentence.
Not really sure if this confirms anything for you or not though. Just figured I'd post it cause the issue seemed intresting to me. Anyways though here were my findings. -
Using color sampler values with curves adjustment layer
Hi, I have just started trying to teach myself javascript. Based on preliminary research, it's become apparent that there are many functions in Photoshop that are either extremely cumbersome or impossible to code by hand without using the Script Listener.
My goal is as follows: first, I will manually load two photos as layers in a single document. Then I will manually place two or more color sampler points on the document. At this point I would like the script to create a curves adjustment layer (ideally clipped to layer 2) and place as individual channel anchor points the RGB data from the color sampler points on Layer 2, and then adjust the output of the points on each channel to the color sampler RGB values of layer 1.
As my first script, I realize this is probably going to be a lot of work.
I did find some code that returns the average value of manually placed color sampler points. Conceptually then, I would need to add code which creates a new curves adjustment layer and adds those RGB values (from a specific layer) as anchor points on the individual channels, and then hides one layer and looks at the RGB values of the color sampler points, and uses them as the output values for each anchor point.
Sounds simple enough from a conceptual standpoint.
I'm looking for some guidance on how to get started.
Which parts will I definitely need Scriptlistener for and will that be adequate to do the job?
How would you recommend I get started on this?
Thanks very much for any input.The function I had provided was an example into which you would need to feed the values you got with Mike’s code.
The code below would create a Curves Layer as shown in the screenshot, but I’m not sure it would work reasonably for all cases.

// check for at least two colorSamplers
