This is my first time using this program, and I accidentally closed the 'layers' window that shows the layers and lets you move them around. I can't find where to open it again.
View 1 RepliesI've been using CS2 Photoshop 9 for some time on an iMac running 10.4.11. all of a sudden, the Layers window will not stay open. It'll open with F7 but as soon as I click on the image I'm working on, the Layers window closes! All the other windows seem to work OK. Did I mistakenly hit something to cause this to happen? It's almost like an automatic window closer.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSometimes I'm getting photoshop files with hundreds of layers.
I'm really happy that I'm able to open them in Paint.NET.
But because of the amount of layers it is sometimes difficult to figure out which detail is on which layer.
And to switch off layers up to the point that only the layer in question is left is little bit painful.
Proposal:
Add an additional button at the bottom of the layers window.
If the button is selected then only the active layer is visible in the main window and not a merge of the visible layers.
You may then activate one layer after the other to check the content.
Maybe if the button is selected then this could overwrite the visiblity attribute of the layer temporary.
I closed the color window and now I don't know how to open it again. How?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a document with three layers, nothing fancy. I want to make one of the layers bigger. The docs say use the selection tool (in my case the rectangle tool) to make a selection. They say if you want to resize the selection just grab on of the handles. This works as it should. However I want to resize my layer, which is essentially a square image. I can't see where to do this. The layer properties don't even show the size of my layer. Is there some way to open the layer in another window?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt would be nice if Paint.NET would open with the same window size and location as last time it was run.
I've noticed it does this already if you launch Paint.NET from the start menu, but not if you open a file in Paint.NET (which is much more common).
When press "open" the "open"-window dosn't open. Insted it open a comandpromt by the cursor that promt me to enter full search-way and name on the file I want to open.
What can i do to get the "open"-window?
I accidently moved my channel window seperately, so there's a box for channels and theres a box for layers/paths.
How do I get it so the layers, paths, and channels are all in one window/box?
When using the Filter Window, we would like to see the other layers at the same time. At the moment, we only see the active layer on a transparency checker background.
Is this possible ?
When I try to open a autocad 2004 dwg in AI cs6 the board is blank, but all of the 20 layers of the autocad dwg appear in the AI layers window. There is no text in the dwg, and I selected scaled to fit box.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm working with both Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 on a mac. I'm creating a graphic. The background is a (cartoonish) mouth and I finished it a couple of days ago. (It's an Illustrator file.) I've been working on the letters to go inside of the mouth, (Once I'm finished it'll look as though they're being crushed.) I scanned and edited small wooden letters in Photoshop, and now I would like to work with them with the background in Illustrator. I understand how to open a Photoshop file in Illustrator, but I don't want to open the document as a separate Illustrator file. Is there a way to open a file from Photoshop as a second layer?
Â
Some of the letters repeat as well. Will I have to create two files for this, or can I open the same file twice?

Had the Layers window open adding a layer. I don't know what I did, but now All that is showing is a 1/4 inch window along the top that shows All 57 layers displayed of 57 layer. What can I do to restore the full layers window.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to select all the layers in the Layers Window? is: I've got a GIF animation that's comprised of 590 individual layers, and to work on specific layers, It'd be convenient to be able to hide all the layers other than the layer I'm working on - maybe with a dialog under Layers>>Stack>>Select all Layers>>Hide, or an "eye" checkbox at the top or bottom of the Layers window that would select all layers, thereby allowing me to "unhide" the selected layer by checking the "eye" ,(show), checkbox of the relevant layer.
Currently, the only way I know of to work on a specific layer within such a stack is to move the layer to the top of the stack so it becomes the visible layer, perform the work, then return the layer to its original location.
I'm using Gimp 2.8.6.Try as I might, I'm still trying to figure out how to effectively 'merge' 3 shots of the same scene taken at 3 different exposures (using the exposure bracketing feature on my camera).The idea is to end up with the equivalent of an HDR image.
I assume that I open the first image and then open the other two as layers . .
My layers dock has gone missing. According to the list in my 'Windows' tab, it claims to be open. I have looked all over the screen. I have switched on and off again etc. I have even deliberately thrown other docks off the screen to see if they come back to normal screen area if I close and reopen Gimp- and they do. so it isn't lost off screen.
I have unistalled and re-insalled and it has not come back.
1. Go to Windows>recently closed docks - Mine says 'empty'
2. File>create docks - I don't have this option- mine choices are 'new', 'create', 'open', 'open as layers', ''open location', 'open recent'... then a few which pertain to having an image open that you're working on... then 'quit'.
3. I went to Youtube and the tutorials on how to make your Gimp like Photoshop and how to get back closed windows also haven't worked.
I'm on Gimp 2.6.
While I was first working with CorelDraw13, I tried exporting a file that had a layer that was hidden, but printable. Â I got a warning/error window notifying my of the problem. Â In the corner, there was a check box option to not display that warning/error message. Â
Now, I am trying to get that window to show up again. Â
I'm using Gimp 2.8 with Windows 7 on two monitors. I am unable to find the layers window, or a place in the menus to turn it on or off.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to colourise a video, so I open the animation window, open a colour layer, and colour the scene. When I drag the 'Current Time Indicator', the video moves, but the colour layer (naturally) doesn't. What I do is shorten the green line on the animation window for the colour layer, duplicate the layer, re-position it on the animation window, and so on for all the frames.
What I would like to know is, is there an easier way to do this? Is there anyway I can do this without using so many layers, or edit the one colour layer, and have changes on one frame, but not on the other, with the same layer being used?
When you go to save or open something in photoshop, I'd like to edit the "shortcuts" that are on the left hand side of the window (Recent Places, Desktop, User Directory, Computer, Network). I've altered those shortcuts in vista windows and would like to do the same for photoshop. I know that in OSX you're able to tell photoshop to use the operating system's window rather than photoshop's, is this possible on windows?

Why is there a default empty window when you open the app on Mac? All previous versions let you view your desktop if you don't have an open project. Is there a preference setting to get rid of this?

When I zoom in (cmd +/), the window will resize, but only part way. The window will move over flush right on the monitor, but leave about one inch of space between the window and the left side of the monitor, and increase in size until it fits aprox 2/3rds of the monitor / screen. It stops enlarging and leaves about 3 inches of space between the window and the bottom of the screen. At that point I get scroll bars. So I end up with a much smaller window to work in.
I can grab the bottom right corner of the window, pull it open to fill the screen, but as soon as I go to zoom in or out, the window jumps back to the smaller size with the gap on the left side and bottom.
Option bar is "Standard Screen Mode"
All my pallets are on a separate monitor, so nothing else is on my main monitor that would limit the size of my window as I zoom in.
My preferences are set to:
• Zoom Resizes Windows
• Enable Flick Panning (works fine)
• Animated Zoom

I can not open the Photomerge dialog window. When I click on it, a message tells me that photoshop has stopped working and it closes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI try to open anything in Photoshop CS, the dialog window shows up for a fraction of a second and then disappears. Photoshop then immediately locks up as if the window is still there and I need to make a selection from there. Only way to do anything at this point is to CTL-ALT-DEL and close Photoshop.
I can't think of anything I installed on the laptop lately, Photoshop has run without incident for months on this machine. The other items in CS don't seem to have any problems at all either.
