After Effects :: 3D Layer Disappears In CS6

Aug 17, 2013

When I turn a layer into a 3D layer it disappears.  If i turn draft 3D on it will reappear, or if I preComp it will reappear. continuous rasterize is not on so its not that.  Active camera is set in preview window, so its not front view thing.

After Effects :: PSD Layer Disappears During Render?

Nov 20, 2013

I've never used a Photoshop psd image in AE CS6, but yesterday I did, thinking I could tweak more easily...it's a flat (non3D) one-layer image with alpha.  I dragged it into the project.  The layer has some intense rotation expressions if that matters. I can work on it fine, it plays using RAM preview and I can save a portion of it as a RAM Preview Save, which is also fine.  But when I render to a video file, the object disappears complete....I just get a black screen.

Photoshop :: Lighting Effects Previews OK But Disappears?

Apr 7, 2013

I am working in Photoshop CS6. I am putting a light effect over a layer and the lighting effect using the alpha channel.Everything is fine in the preview stage, however when I go back to the main part of my document the effect appears for a little while then disappears. I save it before it disappears as a JPEG and as a psd to input into indesign but when saved the lighting effect does not show up on either file.

After Effects :: Where RAM Cache Disappears As Soon As Playback Stopped

Dec 4, 2013

I've been having an issue where the RAM cache disappears as soon as the RAM playback is stopped.  Just to be clear, I'm referring to the green indicator along the top of the timeline so you know which frames are cached.  This happens on various computers in our facility.  It seems to be more common when multiprocessing is enabled.  It also happens if you tell After Effects to RAM preview and then switch to another application.  After Effects will complete rendering the RAM preview in the background, the icon will bounce in the dock to let you know it's ready, but nothing is cached when you switch back to After Effects.  This is something that I've noticed for a couple of years over multiple versions of After Effects both at home and at the office.  It seems to happen fairly consistently with specific comps which makes me wonder if it's related to any of the effects that have been applied in that comp.

Photoshop :: Layer Style Window Opening But Disappears

Aug 21, 2009

I just began having problems with Photoshop today. I wanted to apply Blending Options to a layer. The Layer Style window opened but it was nowhere to be found! Because I could not access this window to either perform a task or close it, I had to Control/Alt/Delete because nothing else in the program would work. Obviously, it was waiting for a response to the window but as I couldn't see it, I couldn't access it. I've never had this problem before and I've just spent four hours trying to find the problem, including messing with screen resolutions and monitor designations (I use a laptop with a flat screen as #2 monitor). Can someone please help me!!Thanks, in advance, for your advice.

Photoshop :: How To Keep Layer Effects On One Layer From Affecting Another Layer

Jun 7, 2012

I have found that when I use the Layer Styles on one layer and then make a new layer or select a shape that creates a new layer that when I go to add Styles to the new layer/new shape the previous layer is affected by how I set the Bevel & Emboss, Direction, Altitude, Drop Shadow etc etc.
 
For instance, let's say I have a ...
 
BG > New Layer > draw an ellipse and then add a Bevel with an  > Angle of 89 and an Altitude of 30 and then I add a New Layer > open the Styles and go to change the Angle to say +89 or whatever and the Altitude to say 45 ... the first Layer/Shape Effects change.
 
How I can keep one Layer from being affected by an other Layers Effects'?
 
I have found that if I Rasterize a Layer Effect that I can add a "double" effect on the same layer but I haven't tried the to do this with separate layers. However, for most of the work I am doing I cannot use the Raster because everything needs to be true vectors.
 
I have a Dell Laptop/Windows 7 Home Premium that's a 64 bit

Photoshop :: Rasterize Layer Effects?

May 13, 2004

How would you "rasterize" the layer effects? So that instead of it being the object with the effects on it its just the individual pixels with no effects on them ... does that make sense?

Photoshop :: Merged Layer Effects

Jun 30, 2006

I have two layers.. One is a simple shape with a raised bevel.. The other layer is text centered over the shape with a bevel of its own that makes the text look engraved.. The problem is when I go to merge the layers, I lose the text layer effect.. I have to merge the layers so how can I stop the text bevelled effect from disappearing?

Photoshop :: Clip Layer Effects?

Apr 8, 2009

I was just playing around and wanted to put a text layer on top of another layer, I hit a problem with drop shadows though.

I would like the drop shadow only to appear on the bottom layer, at present it drops some of the shadow into what is empty space

Here is an image to show you what I mean

Arh seems I can not upload images yet, well think of a transparant background

layer one is an oval disk and layer two is some text.

The text starts half way up the disk and reaches above it, I want to get rid of the drop shadow that is above the disk.

(my username is also a domain com or uk where I put the images)

Is there a way to clip the effects to the bottom layer, I have been messing with masks but its not happening for me.

After Effects :: Layer Missing When Render?

Aug 31, 2013

I have created a short 4 second comp and it all plays back fine until I actually try to render it. I've tried rendering the layer on it's own in a seperate comp and it disappears then as well and just becomes a white screen, but the original one when put into a comp works fine. I've spent hours editing it and putting it in place so i really don't want to start again.

After Effects :: Can't Get Puppet Pin To Move With Layer

Mar 20, 2014

I have separated Illustrator images for a character, I applied the puppet pins to one of the layers and tried to rotate it. The puppet pins stay stationary, they don't move with the layer. THis is frustrating, because all the instructional videos I've seen says to "just rotate and move the mesh" but that doesn't work. Even when moving the pins, the image gets cut off and warped what is only inside the mesh.

After Effects :: Adjustment Layer Not Rendering?

Mar 26, 2014

I have a fairly basic comp consisting of 3 or 4 3d layers spaced out along the Z axis, two precomps containing some edge lighting effects, a camera, a light, and the troublesome adjustment layer. The adjustment layer only contains some color correction and a flare. I thought perhaps a certain effect may be causing the layer not to render, but i eliminated that possibility by removing the effects i had and trying several other, the layer was still not rendering.  I think I have exhausted all of the really simple solutions, nothing is solo'd, all the layers are visible in the preview, the layers are all in the correct order etc..  I can't SS the project right now as I am not at home, but i can tell you that I am working with CS5.5, on windows 8.1, i5 cpu, 8 gigs of ram. The really frustrating part is that a slightly earlier version of the project successfully rendered the adjustment layer and I don't remember changing anything major. Shots in the dark?

Photoshop :: Centering A Pattern In Layer Effects CS5

Jun 4, 2012

is there a way to center a pattern sample in Photoshop in layer effects? If I scale the pattern it doesn't seem to allow me to center it, it just grows it left to write and as a top to bottom expansion.
 
Same issue with making a selection and filling it with a pattern. The only way to get a single copy of the pattern is to use EDIT/FILL, then crop it via selection. But I want to get a single sample of the pattern block via a layer effect fill.

Photoshop :: Stroke Layer Effects Set To Multiply

Aug 18, 2012

When designing for the web, I often like to give text boxes a thin, 1-pixel stroke of a slightly darker color than the box itself. I've noticed that when using the Stroke layer style options, setting the position attribute to "Inside" and the blend mode to "Multiply" has the undesirable effect of multiplying the border color with the background, instead of multiplying the border color with the box color (see figure 1). This seems like a bug to me. The only way I have found to achieve the result I'm looking for is to create a duplicate shape above my box layer, set the fill to 0%, and then apply the stroke effect to that layer (see figure 2). Any way to accomplish this all in one layer? I know I could just set the blend mode to "Normal" and choose my darker color explicitly, but I want the layer style to be portable, so I can use it on boxes of any color and have the resulting stroke a darker shade of that color.I am currently using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac.

Photoshop :: CS6 - Is (Contour Editor) For Layer Effects Gone?

Jun 20, 2012

In some earlier Photoshop version, you could edit the contours (looking like curves) that shaped layer effects like Drop Shadow or Bevels. To do this, you opened the contours drop-down library within a style dialogue like Drop Shadow; then you double-clicked onto a contour icon and you got the "Contour Editor", a dialogue looking like a small Curves dialogue.
 
But in CS6 i find no way to edit the contours provided. I can create new ones, which doubles the last contour activated, and i can add more contours provided by Adobe. But double-clicking on a contour icon only applies this contour and there is no way, it seems, to get to an "Contour Editor".

I'm on Windows 7/64 bit with ample RAM, with PS CS6 Extended.

Photoshop :: Export Video And Layer Effects

May 22, 2013

When frames from the timeline are saved using export video, some layer effects display differently from how the frame looks in the timeline. It seems as if some layer effects are based on the layer effect settings for a different frame (for that layer effect setting) 1 rather than the actual frame visible in the timeline.

Photoshop :: Layer Effects And Cropping Tool

Aug 23, 2012

With the new features added to the Crop tool I've noticed when you clip and image the remaining pixels "hidden" by the crop still are affected by layer effects.  I've cropped an image, clipped it, removed the background and when I apply a drop shadow to the remaining pixels, the edge of my photo has a shadow.  Other than clipping first, then cropping away, Is the best solution to set the crop tool to delete cropped pixels?

Im trying to flatten the file to get it ready to go to printer and each time I go to flatten, the effect changes and darkens the entire image.

Out of options and frustrated. Can someone please tell me how to flatten without losing the texture effect and destroying the integrity of the art?

GIMP :: Layer Effects Not Functioning Properly?

May 23, 2013

For instance if i want to add inner glow for layer, let's call it logo, even though i use the python version of the plug-in i'm unable to see the preview and when i submit the layer effect it creates a new layer but there is absolutely no effect created.

I'm trying to move from windows and photoshop to linux and gimp as my only an primary os and tool in case of gimp. I mean is there any other way especially for stuff like dropshadow, stroke and stuff like that? I mean i can think of several possible solutions but all of them just seems so slow it makes me want to go back to windows and adobe products.

After Effects :: 3D AI Layer Won't Continuously Rasterize Properly

Jul 29, 2011

How come some AI Files I use in a comp, that has the continuosly raterize option checked, becomes soft when the 3d layer option is also checked?
 
The AI object looks slightly unsharp until I click continuously raterize, then it is good to go to scale anyway I want. But it get blurry again if I click the 3D Layer option.
 
Note that this blurring takes place whether there is a camera or not in the composition and that nothing is animated so it can't be a motion blur issue.
