Slider Bug in Adjustment layers of PS CC

This must have been documented by now, but I haven't seen it doing a quick search of the forums.
Whenever I create a new adjustment layer and make a correction, if I try to undo (using either cmnd z or menu) the actual correction is undone, but the slider does not reset. If it is a curve adj layer andi I set a point, undoing the move again results in the correction being undone, but the point on the curve remains. This can get extremely confusing and causing me problems. Too bad there is no beta program anymore. I'd have logged this one immediately. Is this being addressed?

Yes, it's a known problem - we're testing a fix for it.

Adjustment layers not opening mask anymore

On my laptop I choose an adjustment option and it creates a new layer and layer mask. On the imac it only creates the layer with the adjustment. I have to manually add the mask.
I can't find a preference or setting or anything to get the two to behave the same way.

Inconsistent from Photoshop UI as well as from Actions. And becase I know what will cause them to fail. I can create actions and scripts that I know will work no matter how they are set. The step will work the same way no matter which way the options are set.
For example disable add layer mask you wrote you have no problem doing that. Do a Ctrl+A (select all) then add an levels adjustment layer to the current layer. You will find that the levels adjustment layer is added with a layer mask. Photoshop will work that way in actions and from its UI. So I can record and add adjustment layer and know for sure a layer mask will be added no matter how a user set the fly-out option. I can also use Photoshop menu Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Type. And in its dialog I can Check use previous layer to create clipping mask. The Adjustment layer will be clipped no matter which way the fly-out option is set.
These options breakes Photoshop original design they are bad options and their implementation is poor. Actions and scripts can not set these options. Scripts can not find out how they are set either. You write Plug-ins do you add adjustment layers in any of them?
Without using these bugs automating adjustment layers is hit and miss. You would not know the state of the adjustment layer you would not know if you had to add a layer mask or modify or replace the existing mask. You would not know if the adjustment layer applied to all lower layer or just the previous layer.
Its a good thing you don't use such action for they could have problems....

Bug in Photoshop Action Player affecting some Adjustment Layers steps

I skipped CS4 and when I installed CS5 I discovered a nasty bug had been introduced is Photoshop's Action facility most likely in CS
4.
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
genearate an error message if the Adjustment panel clipping icon is set to clip. Because the layer get added clipped, clipping the adjustment
layer it is not available. The strange thing is the layer is clipped the way I want 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.

To avoid the problem you described, i always leave
the Clip to Layer unchecked.
That way you never have to worry about those errors.
I just let the actions dictate clipped or not.
If i want to clip a layer, i just do it myself using the button circled in red.

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.
Adobe when will you fix this bug # 2737069????

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

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.

Hi John ,
Thank you for getting back to us.
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.

Effects on adjustment layers not working in PPro CC 2014

I am trying to use an adjustment layer to add an effect to my entire project (about 3 minutes). When I add the adjustment layer and the effect, nothing happens. I can apply the effect directly to a clip and it works fine.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Thanks for the help,
Catherine

Mmmm.. maybe there is indeed an issue with the adjustment layer, I have a project that I opened up and wherever I have adjustment layers, they all show as black image...if I check off the effect, then i see my footage underneath.. but as soon as I add an effect (in this case, brightness and contrast + Tint), then it goes to black... changing the blend mode doesn't do anything either...

Photoshop CS6 Info Palette & Adjustment Layers

I have searched but can't find an answer to my question so I thought this may be the best place to ask.
When I am using adjustment layers in PS 13.0.3 (mountain lion), I notice that the info palette is not giving me a before and after readout of the adjustment.
e.g. I add a curves adjustment layer and remove some cyan from the highlight end, I can see on screen that cyan is removed but the info palette gives me 2 readings, both the same. This can make it difficult if I want to remove an exact amount of colour. I have the info palette is set up the same as every previous version of photoshop I have used, 1st reading actual colour, 2nd reading cmyk. I know this is a bit difficult to explain so I have included an image showing the palette, CS6 on the left and CS5 on the right, same image, same coordinates. CS5 is showing that 4% cyan has been removed, was 18% now 14%, CS6 is showing what it is now.
I work in prepress and do a lot of colour correction for books and magazines so I need to know the before & after readings. Is this a bug/feature??

I'm having this same problem as well.
Two of our macs have this problem and two do not.
The two macs with this problem are:
Mac Pro
2 x 2.93 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
96 GB 1333 HZ DDR3 ECC
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
OSX Lion 10.7.5
The two macs that work correctly are:
Mac Pro
2 x 3.06 Ghz 6-Core Intel Xeon
96 GB 1333 HZ DDR3 ECC
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
OSX Lion 10.7.5
Does anyone know what might cause this problem?

[CS5][Save for Web][Anti-aliasing] Fine lines in exported PSD with adjustment layers

Hello,
You can reproduce the bug this way:
- link a PSD with a adjustment (Levels, Brightness/Contrast) layer in your AI file
- Save for Web, with AA for Art (not text) selected
In the exported image there will be artefacts, white lines usually.
Flattening the PSD or deleting the adjustment layers will solve the problem and anti-aliasing will be applied correctly.
I used CMYK/RGB settings, FOGRA39/Adobe RGB 1998 for all the files involved.

Hi,
I am experiencing this same problem of pixelated gifs when I use the "save for web" dialog from Illustrator, but this solution has not worked for me. I have tried the trick of using type-optimized anti-aliasing, but it doesn't change the output at all. I've done this from within the "Image size" tab as well as through Effect>Rasterize>Options)Anti-aliasing: Type Optimized. My image is a logo made entirely from text, although for some of it I used "outline path", so I'm not sure if it still qualifies as text...I'm a newbie at this stuff, so the technical details are still quite opaque to me.
Does anyone know of a solution to this that does not require me to add Photoshop to my workflow?
I'm using Illustrator in CS5, version 15.0.2.
Thanks in advance
Jonathan

Encoding Error caused by Adjustment Layers?

Adjustment extremely are really useful, aren't they? However today I have come across a problem.
If I add a dissolve (or maybe any transition) between two adjustment layers on the same track, which is necessary if the effect is not keyframable (eg RGB Curves), when I come to render the timeline out, I get an encoding error.
I arrived a this conclusion by a process of trial and error. The only way around I could see was to ditch the offending ALs and drop the effects onto the underlying clips. Same result, but not ideal!
Anyone else? And is there a solution?

Maybe, i don't know: it seems like a straightforward bug or oversight to me. You'd have thought they might have expected people to want to use adjustment layers in this way. It's quite common if, for example you have two clips with some kind of transition to want to be able to match the transition in the adjustment layers on top of the clips.
Something else - off topic - that seems a bit clunky is that you have to "create" an adjustment layer, which then appears in the project pane, then drag it into the timeline, then add the effects, etc.
But those effects aren't then associated with the adjustment layer in the project pane; it is still empty and you can drag it on top of another clip and start adding effects again. This works fine, of course, but:
(a) It's a confusing metaphor, as they say
(b) It would be handy to be able to keep adjustment layers, complete with effects, to use again (I know you can copy and paste them in the timeline, or alt-drag, but still...)

Adjustment layers in CS6

when I try to open an adjustment layer the working panel on the right of the screen comes up with a strip showing a thumbnail of my photo, but there is no link and no white rectangle. What is wrong? Peasashjoan

It sound like you have set one Adjustment Panels fly-out menu option at one poin in time. Adobe introduced Bugs in CS4 they don't seem to want to fix. The Adjustment layer was added to your document at a point in time that Adjustment Panel Fly-out menu Item Do not add Layer mask was most likely checked. If the Layer was added by an action it or script it may well have been added differently the the way the action or script was created to work. To create actions that add adjustment layer these days you need to edit the actions and change the way Adjustments layers are added. Actions need to add them in a way that how the fly-out options are set is not relevant. In other words all-way have an active selection present when an action add a adjustment layers. The layer will have a Layer mask. And All-way record adding the adjustment layer using the layer menu Layer>Add Adjustment Layer>Type and check the clip to previous option is the popup add adjustment layer dialog. That way the Adjustment layers will be clipped. If you record an action that add an adjustment layer any other you have no way of knowing how the layer will be added if you using a version of Photoshop newer the CS3.
These option need to be removed from the Adjustment Pane;l Fly-out menu they break thing that depend on Photoshop behaving like it historically did. Photoshop may now be set to work in different ways How new or old actions and scripts that add adjustment layer will work is a crap shoot for Actions and Script can not set or even check on how Photoshop is currently set to work.
My Advice is forget these options exists and leave them set at the default settings and Photoshop will work just like it always did before CS4....

Keyboard inputs to adjustment layers

So I've been ousted from my Mac and put on a Windows 7 Dell Optiplex 790 at work. My Photoshop 11 acts strangely when I try to use the value fields in the adjustment layers. When I call up a Brightness or other adjustment layer, I would usually use the shift key with the up/down arrows for quick 10% moves. This worked fine on my Mac but on the Windows 7 set up it does not! As soon as I click in the value field the cursor disappears and will not stay no matter how many times I click in there. Ultimately I use the scrubber or slider to set my values. It will however work fine in the shadows/highlights window, go figure. I became so used to working with my arrow keys to input values that this has become a real nuisance for me (I know a real First World problem). I also use a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet.
any ideas ? Thanks.

I just tried it (on my Windows 7 x64 system) and holding down the shift key and using the arrows causes +/- 10 unit jumps for me just fine. That's a Photoshop standard behavior across the board.
It's sounds like less a Windows vs. Mac thing, and more like something's wrong with your specific system.
Do you have any software running that watches the keyboard for special sequences - e.g., to do something to your desktop? Maybe some kind of hot key recognition in your display driver?

Adjustment layers not 'sticking' on animated GIFs

I'm trying to adjust brightness/contrast and saturation over about 30 layers on an animated GIF. Everything looks great until I do a save for web and click on the animate box. At that point, the color/changes drop off completely. It shows up fine when it's just the one layer being shown. And it seems to be showing up on all the layers when I'm in the main edit window. I keep looking and making sure I have the 'this adjustment affects all layers below,' and I do. I even tried saving a GIF with the other setting turned on and I got the same thing.
Anyway, I exported a few GIFs, thinking maybe the adjustment layers would kick in as it saved, but nope. Neither layer saved into the exported GIF.
I'm sure this is just a simple setting I'm missing, but I'm banging my head against the desk at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks! I'm still trying my best to sort out why the adjustment layers drop off when I go to animate the GIF ... BUT I did duplicate the adjustment layers -- one for each frame -- and then clicked on the adjustment layers and selected layer and merged them one at a time and it worked. It's still more tedious than I hoped, but not as tedious as trying to adjust each layer on its own and having to input the same exact settings for each layer.
I would still be interested in anyone else's take/advice on applying adjustments to all the layers in an image at the same time and having it cary through to 'save for web.' Animated GIFs are so simple in theory, but I'm finding them to be absolutely one of the most frustrating and tedious things to try and edit/create.

How to change the default name of new adjustment layers? (and other Q's)

How do I change the default name of new adjustment layers?
How can I make it so that adjustment layers don't come with a mask when I create them (unless I have a selection active)?
Why isn't the Shadows/Highlights functionality an adjustment layer? It's accessable under "adjustments" but you can't use it non-destructive
Where can I find documentation on Photoshop's API? (I want o make tools for it - javascript)

Forgive me for not looking into your Maya-specific links, but one can automate Photoshop using JavaScript indeed (on Windows also VB, on Mac also AppleScript).
Not everything can be automated naturally, but a lot – and it can really speed up many tasks; and with the »small« repetitive ones like saving copies off of files etc. combining Scripts with Configurator Panels can be especially convenient.
There is a Scripting Forum over at

As for plugins: it's something I would like to learn some day (I guess you would have to go with Flash and AS3 for making actual plugins)
I think you might also have to learn C++ or C.
There is Forum the contributors to which might be able to give you pointers if you get to that.

How do I save a stack of adjustment layers that I want to then apply instantly to another image ?

Can anyone help with the following Photoshop question please ?
I've been working on a 16bit image in PS CC on my Mac that has a stack of approximately 15 Adjustment Layers (AL's) which has taken a fair amount of work to put together and then saved as an unflattened PSD. The AL's consist of Curves, Selective Colour, Hue & Sat, Vibrance, Col Bal and Photo Filters with a variety of Masks. All AL's have been renamed with their own unique names.
My question is:
How do I save this stack of 15 AL's, as I want apply them to other similar images that where shot during a motor drive burst either side of the image mentioned above ?
I know I can achieve exactly what I want by dragging all 15 AL's from the original image on to newly opened individual images.
Although this method works absolutely perfectly and is instant I want to be able to somehow apply these AL's in an instantaneous automated way to enable me to deal with the large numbers of images that I want to apply this to.
It appears to be the case that it isn't possible to simply select the complete stack of AL's from the original image, copy them and then paste them into a new image ! If this was possible I would simply create a simple action to deal with it.
I know already that I can create an action to deal with this now, however that entails laboriously retracing what I did to the original image by saving presets to the many AL's, then reloading them, putting them in the correct order and finally renaming all of the AL's but as you'll appreciate it's a fairly long drawn out process which would take forever.
I also need a method which has instant built in flexibility for when I tweak some of the AL's settings. At this point I wouldn't want to then have to go through the whole process of re-writing an involved action.
I hope the above makes some sense to you all and that you can understand what I want to do.
I've briefly looked over the Adobe forum where many people have been trying to find unsuccessfully the answer to this question for many years. If anyone has some sort of workaround for this I would very much appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks

Muse doesn't seem to see Photoshop Adjustment Layers

I like to place Photoshop files in Muse, so I can quickly edit a non-destructive format, instead of a JPEG. I recently noticed that some placed Photoshop files were markedly more dull in Muse than they appear in Photoshop.
Opening the Muse-created web page and comparing it with an open Photoshop file, it appears that Muse is not honoring my top layers, which are Photoshop Adjustment Layers.

As much as I believe that Muse is not really fit for purpose yet, I do not have the issues you are encountering with Opera.

Trying to understand the use of adjustment layers

I think I am missing something here so thought I would bring it here for discussion.
I am learning to do Adjustment Layers and when I do an adjustment layer of levels and then another of hue/saturation it has no way of confirming my choices. If then want to do Shadows/Highlights it will not work change anything and I think it is because I have not confirmed the adjustment layer. What do I need to do after doing the adjustment layer to go ahead and do something else no as an adjustment layer on the photo OR is that impossible. How to make this work????

An Adjustment layer effects all visible pixles in the layers below itself. So if you have a Levels Adjustment Layer and the Background layer below, the entire Background layer is affected. If you have another layer above the Background that is not an Adjustment Layer but only covers have the entire image space, the Levels Adjustment will effect the additional layer and the visible parts of the Background layer. If you add a second Adjustment layer, the effects stack. The lower of the Adjustments is applied first, the second is applied afterward, moving upward.
The Adjustment Layers themselves are transparent, they are a bit like a lens filter on your camera. Just like looking through a pair of sunglasses causes the world to appear darker, an a Levels Adjustment Layer can make the layers beneath it appear darker (or lighter, as dictated by the settings). But as Ken mentions, the strenght of using an Adjustment Layer, as opposed to using an Adjustment, is that you can always come back and change the settings later.
