Why is my properties panel empty on photoshop cc

Upon opening my properties panel it is empty.  The tutorial I am doing shows the property panel with adjustments ie. Curves.  How do I fix this?

Go to the top menu and click:
Window >> Adjustments

  • Why the css properties panel it doesn't open?

    The css properties panel in my trial version of Fireworks CS6, it doesn't open. May this be due to some limitations in trial version (which I wasn't aware of)?
    Thank in advance

    You scroll the camera icon up, not tap it.

  • Properties Panel empty

    I'm using Acrobat 9.4.1 to edit some pdf files. Using the TextTouchup tool, I highlight some text and want to change its color. I right-click on the text for the properties window and it shows up absolutely blank. Even the header selection window is empty and minimally wide.
    What the?
    Is there a prefs file or some hidden controller file that switches TouchUp on/off? I seem to remember having this issue years ago, and there was something like a cache or prefs or plist somewhere that restored the function.
    Anyone?

    I have no idea what caused this. The bug has disappeared, however, of its own accord. Odd that.

  • Photoshop CC Properties Panel Live Shape bug

    I know this problem was being discussed in the Photoshop forum a few months ago, but I want to put it in CC forum, since it's a CC problem.
    I'm having the same issues as these people, where the properties panel doesn't always show you the live shape options and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Is there any movement on this?
    watch a video of the problem here

    Hi,
    It ends up being a design decision, based on limitations around multi-layer selection and multi-path selection. There were serious problems activating the Live Shape properties without making a deliberate gesture from users a requirement. That's why we only enable them when paths are targeted with the Path tool or Direct select tool.
    regards,
    steve
    SG... Why not make the Live Shape Properties appear when the Move Tool selects a layer, then Free Transform Path is activated? That is a deliberate gesture that is intuitive.
    That seems more natural than having to use the Path tool or Direct Select tool, which feels more like an awkward hack than a natural flow.
    Just making the Live Shapes selectable in the menu and/or assigning it a shortcut would be a step in the right direction.
    Thanks,

  • Can I turn off the Properties Panel in Photoshop CC?

    Every
    Single
    Time
    I draw a line or a shape or do almost anything it seems in PSCC, the Properties Panel jumps out. Quite rudely, it blocks the upper right of whatever I am working on. Yes, I can simply close it, but it interrupts my workflow, and it pops out constantly. This definitely did not happen in CS6 or any previous version of PS or even in the first version of PS in Creative Cloud.
    I haven't yet come across anywhere that will let me deactivate that automatic pop-out...I was hoping someone else had found it already. I would greatly appreciate some assistance!
    Thanks!!

    You 'instruct' me; I 'should' ... Imperatives, and yet it's me who has the 'attitude'.
    Your point regarding dates on the implementation is noted - apologies to those attempting to find a viable work-around with what they had available to them - but subsequent advice to deal with this by buying an extra monitor makes multiple presumptions.
    Thanks once again for your opinion on what I should do, but I came to the Adobe forum for an answer regarding an Adobe issue, by definition precisely the right place. Not to be given commands as to how I should work or spend my money by a complete stranger. There's very little helpful about the latter two points, irrespective of how you choose to define them.
    To restate my thanks:
    Thank you to Jorge and qerhqrhbwdbs for advice on how to actually deal with the problem.
    I've got more pressing things on the agenda than bickering about this, Noel, I presume you have too.

  • Properties panel still a major issue - so is overall CC interface

    Hi, I have just bought into the whole Adobe CC apps things after years of working with CS4, 5 and 5.5 and remaining compatible with most of my clients, few are taking the leap to CC right now.
    Anyways, I am extremely disappointed in the interface, and completely amazed that the Properties panel in Dreamweaver is still ridiculously underwhelming.
    Case in point, the URL field.
    Why has this field remained limited to just 30 characters when the Property panel extends the full width of the screen and is completely empty from the walfway mark over to the far right?
    Can't remember the last time I had such a simple URL it even fit in there, mostly dealing with enewsletters with externally-hosted content... need hard URLs that are lengthy, this limitation adds too much time to my work and is annoying beyond belief.
    In addition, all CC apps now leave a hideous solid background that covers all other apps, and the Finder, this to me is reverting back to 1998 standards, not Mac OS X standards at all.
    Are the recent Adobe CC apps all Windoze ports? The dialogue boxes look hideous, the progress bars, etc, etc. all hideous, nothing like the slick CS4 look that was a major improvement over previous versions.
    And in any dialogue box you have to tab through every single option in the dialogue box... what?
    I used to love Adobe apps, I use them daily, several hours a day. Now I just don't want to have to deal with them.
    Please Adobe, what happened? Tell me you're working on fixing these issues and making these apps usable again.
    Right now I'd rather become a manager and not have to look at InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, Dreamweaver ever again.
    Thanks.

    Hi David, thanks for the Application Frame tip... although in InDesign [the app I use most] it is also in prefs which was confusing, isn't in DW's prefs, or Ilustrator's or PhotoShop's... but the interface colouring is... the inconsistency here is annoying. There are so many issues leftover from previous versions of these apps which I have pointed out to Adobe that it's disappointing, having "upgraded" to CC and not finding any real improvement. I remember when apps moved a full version they were exciting to use and explore, just not happening any more with so much room for improvement - I could understand if the apps had everything needed and were the absolute best possible... but not the case, truly disappointed, could have stayed with CS5.5. Thanks.
    PS - that form you pointed me to is the one I used to file the request - and they replied it wasn't a bug it was a feature request, even though the title of that forms states "Feature Request/Bug Report Form" Weird.

    I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects 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. Please help!
    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.

  • Motion tweens from keyframe vs properties panel

    When motion tweening a grouped object in either Flash 8 or
    Flash CS3, I get different results depending on whether I use the
    keyframe or the properties panel to set the tween.
    If I right-click the first keyframe and select "Create Motion
    Tween," I get two graphic symbols named Tween 1 and Tween 2 in the
    library .
    If I select Motion from the Tween drop-down list in the
    Properties panel, I do not get those two graphic symbols in the
    library.
    Question #1: Which is the better way to create motion tweens
    -- using the keyframe or using the properties panel?
    Question #2: What other differences are there between
    creating a motion tween (or shape tween in CS3) between using the
    keyframe or using the properties panel?
    Ken Elder

    1) either is fine, however you should not try to tween
    multiple object at the same time, put them in a moveclip and tween
    the clip, or on separate layer and tween them individually. This is
    why the symbol shows up in the Library, because it's not quite the
    right way to do it, and Flash needs to make some things to try a
    keep it straight. The best way to tween is to use the Tween class
    and script the tween.
    2) no difference, they both fire the same method. Like using
    key shortcuts vs. the menu.

  • Symbol Properties panel not updating or refreshing

    Y'all,
    I'm running FW CS5 under Windows 7 Pro (64-bit), and my Symbol Properties panel has stopped updating when I select a symbol to modify. I have to close and re-open the Symbol Properties panel to force it to refresh.
    If I have the panel open and select a symbol on the page, the panel remains blank.
    If I have edited a symbol then deselected it, that symbol's properties remain visible in the Symbol Properties panel after the symbol is deselected.
    If I have edited a symbol then select another symbol, the first symbol's properties remain visible in the panel and it does not update to show the properties of the newly selected symbol.
    In all cases I must close and re-open the Symbol properties panel to force it to refresh and update.
    I've also noticed two other peculiar refresh problems lately - when the rulers are visible and I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size, the top ruler often vanishes. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the rulers to re-appear.
    Finally, the little document info boxes at the lower right corner of the canvas showing document size and zoom level often go blank or vanish when I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the info boxes to re-appear.
    It seems that the problem may be related to some larger Fireworks screen refresh problem. It did not behave this way when first installed - it began happening recently, and the only thing that has changed was a minor update to all of the CS5 design tools (including FW) about the way that image metadata is handled.
    Is anyone else experiencing odd refresh errors? Is it possible that an extension could cause this?
    Any help and advice would be appreciated, because it has become really cumbersome to use component symbols.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    After digging around and looking at what has been updated or installed on my computer since these weird refresh problems began, I may have identified a possible cause.
    Adobe installs the Java runtime with the Creative Suite (I'm not sure why, but it's there), and a few weeks ago the 1.6.20 update installed itself, but it failed multiple times before installing, then Windows 7 informed me that a component was improperly installed with the incorrect privileges. Last night the 1.6.21 update installed itself without any errors, and this morning Fireworks seems to be working normally again.
    I'll keep monitoring FW for weird refresh problems, and if they return I'll post an update. It is possible that the 1.6.20 update broke something that was fixed by the 1.6.21 update.
    Can anyone tell me why the CS programs require Java and what it is used for?
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • Disable Properties Panel Popping up When Making Shape?

    As title says, can you Disable Properties Panel Popping up When Making Shape?
    Sorry if this is a silly question, I can't seem to find the anwser anywhere. Whenever I make any shape it keeps bringing the panel up.

    As I don't like the way it covers the image, I docked it on top of the layers panel, and made my own workspace. I've read there is a new contextual menu to the panel on Photoshop 14.1

  • CS4 properties panel not completely visible

    The dreamweaver CS4 properties panel is not completely
    visible, some parts of it don't show up completely. In vista I have
    my fonts set at 110%, 106 dpi. When I change them back to 100%
    96dpi, it becomes visible.
    I'm just curious why doesn't dreamweaver CS4 scale to larger
    fonts, just like other applications? Is there some way to fix this?
    I'd prefer to use larger system fonts, since their easier on the
    eyes.

    Unfortunately Adobe is notorious for not following Windows
    standard APIs. It
    is unlikely they will fix the issue anytime soon.

  • Properties panel crashes flash cs4  - OSX 10.5.5

    I just upgraded to cs4 and all other apps seem to work fine
    but flash cs4 10.0.1.
    heres how I can make it crash every time:
    1) launch flash cs4
    2) create a new action script 3 document
    3) click the color pallet to change the back ground color in
    the properties panel
    4) crash
    clicking the color pallet also crashes the app as well.
    one clue: saving your project will allow you to change the
    background color in the properties panel but attempting to save or
    save as will also cause the app to crash.
    I have tried everything. Reinstalling, updating and still
    crash.
    Can anyone help?

    It seems that Adobe has lost it's reputation because of PSE. My version crashes loads and it's starting to effect the what I do.
    A company can lose it's reputation very quickly. Overall I think they will make a loss with this product due to the damage it's done.
    I believe that people should start suing software companies if the product is not "fit for purpose". This rule goes for non-software products so why not software. People just seem to assume that software and technology can bomb out and that it's ok. Well the tide of acceptance should change... it is clearly UNACCEPTABLE when paying for a product that it fails quite a bit!
    I'm f£$%ing furious after all these years of putting up with terrible software. First it was Microsoft (although admittedly they improved from about 2000/XP onwards). However Adobe have gone backwards! What is going on!?
    I want either a refund or a free working upgrade. Also possibly compensation! Why the hell not!?

  • Still can't dock Properties Panel at top in CS5

    While I'm pretty happy with the improvements to Fireworks CS5 what I'm most annoyed with what Adobe didn't fix: Allowing the Properties panel to dock to the top!
    This was something that you could do in CS3 and earlier, but was removed with the CS4 UI redesign, supposedly for suite consistency. I was hoping it would finally come back in CS5 but no luck.
    Seems ridiculous to allow the 900-pixel wide Properties panel to dock to the sides but not the top! Not to mention, most other CS products (except Dreamweaver) have similar Options or Property inspectors at the top...so if they're going for consistency, they should allow the Fireworks Properties panel to dock the top. And, yes, I wish I could I move the Dreamweaver Properties panel to the top as well.
    Thanks for letting me vent...submitting a feature request on this wasn't enough.

    What would be the advantage of docking it at the top? I cant find one myself.
    What kind of answer is that
    What is the advantage of having it docking at the bottom ?? Surely it's a matter of personal preference ? Why have it dock at all if you think it should always be at the bottom ?
    I've been using Fireworks for years and (for reasons I can't remember) have always had the Properties panel docked at the top.
    Now, after paying lots of money to upgrade to CS5, I really can't believe that it won't let me have the panels arranged like I want them !
    This may seem like a trivial issue, and I'm obviously not a normal user, but it's annoying me so much that I don't even want to use FW CS5

  • When I type in Fireworks, nothing shows up in my Properties panel??!?

    I'm currently going through a tutorial on building a contact form. When I try to type anything, my property panel is empty. This mean that if I want to change anything, like the font, size etc. I have to do it in the top menu.
    I've tried quitting Fireworks, then reopening it with a fresh new document -- same thing.

    Use the symbol properties panel, not the  regular properties panel and change the label of the selected form symbol in that panel.   HTH

    I'm testing a Dreamweaver CC version, and the Properties Panel display no data. Why ?
