When i create new layer from background the new layer then covers up the background.  It previously did not do this.

I am a rookie.   This worked on previous pics but I apparently have clicked something I shouldn't have.  Thanks for any help.

The problem with Actions is that as a new user, you are not going to know what steps are happening when the Action runs.  The action could be deleting the background layer, for instance.  Is the action one that came with Photoshop?  If you sourced it from somewhere else, can you give us a link? 
There is also some ambiguity in the language you use.  Not your fault. But when you say 'create new layer from background' to me that probably means you are copying the background layer.  If that is not the case, could you give a more detailed description of the steps you are taking?
Do you know how to upload a screen shot?  If you are using Windows 7 or 8, you can use the Snipping tool to drag across your image and layer panel. Save the image, and upload to this thread using the little camera icon.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • When I create a .pdf from an Office file, I have to close the original file before using.  Help?

    When I create a .pdf file from an Office 2010 file (.docx or .xlsx), I cannot move, rename or alter the .pdf file until I first close the original Office file.  If I try, I get a message that the file is in use.  Is this due to some sort of cache setting?  Any suggestions?

    I believe we are using Adobe drivers within Office to generate the PDF through the print function.  All of the settings appear to be Adobe.  If I launch Distiller separately and navigate to the setting I get the exact same settings form I get when I go through the print properties settings. 

  • D/l the new firefox / pop up blocked is set, but still getting a lot of them /did not have this with old firefox

    I never had problems with old firefox d/l the new one and getting a lot of pop up"s. I've checked my setting and them seem to be in order
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == d/l new version

    i just updated Firefox today. I never had pop-ups. Today I have tons! 5 on each page i go to! i went to File/preferences; content; block pop-ups, and, indeed, that was already checked.
    I am overwhelmed by the amount of pop ups I am getting. Help, please.
    Thank you! Love you!

  • FCPX 10.0.8 does the 30 seconds of beachball for every single action. Did not do this with 10.0.3. Same computer. Same video footage.

    I upgraded FCPX 10.0.3 to 10.0.8, then upgraded all the old footage per instructions. Now, with same computer and importing new video footage from the same camera as before (my iPhone), every single action (keyboard or mouse) takes a minute of spinning beachball before it executes. Can't be memory shortage--it's the same computer. Can't be the video quality--it's just iPhone, as before. I made no preference changes. What's up?

    Good question. There's no one size fits all answer.
    Take a look at this (really comprehensive) User Tip. You may find the best answer on that list.
    I am a big fan of OnyX, which has bailed me out of problems many times (and which DS Store mentions). One of the functions it offers is a Verify function; it can be set to find corrupted preference files.I also have found that their cache cleaning function works well.
    Good luck.

    Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name.  Make sure the settings there are correct.

  • It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    it used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
    Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

  • Why do i get 2 curves and not just 1 when i create a diagram from a row of data in a table ?

    Why do I get 2 curves and not just i when I create a diagram from a row af data in a table ?

    Erik,
    Thank you for giving me the points.  Generally you wait to award points until your problem is solved.  It is totally your at your descretion.
    OK.
    This is still not clear.  To post a screenshot get the "stuff" you want to show in view on your screen, then type the key combination <Command>+<Shift>+3.  The cursor will change to a crosshair.  Click and hold on the top-left corner, then drag to enclose what you want to show (to the bottom-right corner), then release.  The screenshot will appear on your desktop and will be named something like "".
    Now click the camera icon in the tool bar for this forum:
    , click the text box to allow you to navigate to, and select your screenshot.
    Here is what you sent me:
    The graph does not seem to be associated with the table of data you are showing.  Generally when you highlight a graph the corresponding table will highlight and show the source of each of the series in the graph (dark and light blue).
    This is what I would expect to see when highlighting a graph:
    Right now I think there is ANOTHER table arround that is the source for the graph and the table you show is "just another table".  You can move your data into the table the graph refers to by copy and paste, or simply typing the values.  You can change how many series there are by grabbing the little circle at the bottom right of the highlighted cells (when you have the graph highlighted) and dragging as shown:
    The Numbers Users' Guide is a great resource you should utilize and can be found here:

    The chapter on graphing (or charting) is 7 and starts on page 134.

  • When I click the Sections button then click on the 1st page I get  a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it. I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back.

    In Pages when I click the 'Sections'  button then click on the 1st page I get  a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"!  Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it? I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back. It is a full page in some unknown language. The only thing I can decifer is 'cupy uf cak'.   Rdal

    Roger,
    The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.

    Can't always make sense of its effect, but I suspect what your seeing comes under the influence of Photoshop > Preferences > General > Options > Resize Image During Place

  • When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks...)

    When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks... the first exported to iDVD ok, but the next one of 15 minutes balked for the same reason -- too long...)

    I wish I had a mac :-P 
    Sadly, this is Windows machine so I dont have a non-iOS version of iMovie.  I have 2 ideas left.  The first is xfering the project to my iPhone 4 and trying to export it there (if that works, awesome but geez apple the iPad 2 is way more powerful than the iphone 4.. youd think I wouldnt even have to attempt this).  The 2nd idea is to start at the end of my movie and delete clips and sounds backwards, trying to export each time to find whatever clip is causing the issue (when the movie was 5 minutes it mixed no probem, so I only need to go that far).
    Wish me luck? 
    Also, is anyone else besides me and the 5 dudes in the other threads having this issue??  Speak up, guys - Apple cant a fix a problem they dont know about.
