When you reduce opacity of a top layer how do you keep a bottom layer from shining through?

I have two objects intersecting each other on different layers. The object on the top layer I reduced the opacity for and the bottom layer which was previously hidden now is shining through. I do not want this to happen. I want the bottom layer to remain hidden beneath the top layer despite the lowered opacity. How would I accompish this simply? I have CS2.
Thanks for any help with this...

Thanks Trex,
Yes! This works very well, amazingly great advice. One side note you might be able to use for future reference: the object on the bottom layer assumes a slightly different hue than the object on the top layer even when I adjust the opacity to the exact same level (both objects were the same color to begin with). I discovered this was because colors show up slightly different whether the background is white or a background with no color. So I simply created one more layer and placed a white colored object and placed this layer below my bottom layer object. This then matched the colors of both the intersecting objects.
Anyways, you probably already knew this, can be confusing to explain all of this in words.
Thanks a lot for your help, this saved me many minutes of frustration.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.

How do you updated CS5 Extended when you keep getting a message to close the program but it is close

How do you updated CS5 extended when you keep getting a message to close the program but the program is already closed? I have tried to do the update when I first turn the computer on, go directly to Photoshop, go to update and click on that, get new screen, close Photoshop, and I still get a message to close the already closed program. I believe I have to open Photoshop to get to the update area, so I don't know how to get around this issue. I hope someone can help me.
(I use win8, 64 bit)
Thank you in advance to all who answer my request for help.
Ann

Thank you for answering. However, when I opened the Task Manager and looked at all the processes that were running, the only things running were the Task Manager and the browser. None of the Photoshop programs were running. So, do you have any other suggestions?

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

The original file is 32 MB:

After the PDF/A-1B save as:
The file is 182 MB
Almost 100% is Images
It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images. Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

I have a problem when you purchase the contents of the game through the My Account

And what is the problem that you are having ? The app was originally bought with that account ? You don't have in-app purchases restricted ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
If you are also getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you will need to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
- then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

How do i keep my RAW files from turing to jpeg files when exporting them to My Passport?

I am an amature photographer and take all my pitures in RAW form (highest quality and more editing capability). I was given a My Passport for Mac external harddrive to transfer all my files to to open more space on my mac book. When importing my RAW files to the Passport they automatically turn to JPEG files. I just re-imported a few files from the Passport back into Aperature and they are still JPEG files Is there something i need to do to keep my RAW files RAW? If not with the Passport, is there another external that would be of better use to me?

When you drag and drop the from Aperture you export the JPEG Preview.
Use the command "File > Export" in Aperture to export the original files.
You can also open an Aperture library in Photos - this will create a Photos library.

How do I keep my clipping path from shifting positions when I crop an image? [was: Question]

How do I keep my clipping path from shifting postitions when I crop an image?

The work path will remain positioned relative to the same underlying pixels after a crop. Are you trying to position it relative to one or more image edges after cropping? I don't think you can do that without moving the workpath after the crop.

When used as an Activex control in windows How can I prevent the "Q" logo from appearing between streaming videos?

Hello Cgifford,
Welcome to National Instruments Forums.
To output your signal to the PFI lines,
you can use external connectios between OUT0 and PFI lines. You can also use
the backplane to do so by routing into the same RTSI line.
1)
On the SCOPE and FGEN, the name of the
terminals are actually “PXI Trigger Line x/RTSIx” but on the 6602 you might
need to route the signal using the property:
You can also use the DAQmx route signal which perform the same opperation.
2)
This will depend on the frequency of
your pulse train. If this is lower than about 10 ms, then you can probably
place this on a loop and start and stop the acquisition every time. If the
frequency is higher than this, you will have to use:
- Scripting on the FGEN side (read more)
- MultiRecord Fetch (more information in the scope help file
section “Acquisition Functions Reading versus Fetching”).
3)
The short answer is yes. The longer one
might depend on how tight you need the synchronization to be (us, ns, ps). For
very tight synchronization, you should look into here.

How do you keep the browser heading from showing?

Is there a way to shrink the application you're capturing so it
fits within a given capture window rather than requiring scrolling,
or would I have to go back to the application developers for that?
(I realize that would shrink the size of everything on the screen,
but in some cases, that would be worth it to be able to show a
window without scrolling.
If, by "shrink" ... you mean by using the AppSizer, the
answer is "not really". You can configure AppSizer to a defined
size, then with the mouse pointer double-arrowed on the "edge" of a
window, right-click and your window-size selections will appear in
the AppSizer "list" (that you set up) and can be selected there.
But there is no re-scaling of the window contents, if that is
what you mean, so the smaller window may now require scrolling.
But keep in mind that if you use the recording option for
"Software Simulation" > "Custom Size", you can then snap the
application window to that size...

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open or error occurs, when you Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Lightroom 2

Problem: When you try to Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, Photoshop CS3 doesn't open, or after Photoshop opens, you see the error message, "Photoshop could not be launched".
This issue is currently being investigated. At present, there are two possible areas that might be causing this issue. Corrupted metadata or a corrupted catalog, or Photoshop CS3 has not been updated to 10.0.1, or the update did not apply correctly to the application.
We are working for a permanent solution for this issue.
Workaround: Please refer to this Adobe
TechNote for further information.

Using key position to lock navigation when you scroll to bottom on tablet page starts to zoom.

Using key position to lock navigation in place after scrolling, this portion works but when you scroll to the bottom the page starts to zoom. I have narrowed it down to the key positioning by eliminating everything else on a fresh page. Sam Friedman [Adobe Muse] - any thoughts on this?

HT4993 When you switch to an iPhone from an old phone can you transfer your voicemail message?

I want to switch to an new iPhone but I don't want to lose my recorded voicemail message. Is this possible to transfer?

If Sprint's system works the same as Verizon's, your old voicemail account is deleted when you switch to an iPhone. That includes any saved voicemails. You may be able to send them, from within the voicemail system, to someone else. Verizon also works with another vendor which will archive your messages for you. Check with Sprint to see if they do something similar.
