View 9 RepliesWe've created a new parts list style for a border.When the border tempalt file is on the c: drive...everything works hunky dory...parts list, revision tables, etc.But as soon as we copy and paste that border into the template library folder for new drgs...the parts list style is missing from the local styles?
So to make it appear on the new document...the style manager has to be set at all styles and the new parts list style has to be saved to the document?What aren't we doing to make it appear on the template?
Also note that because the drawing border template is in a template folder as part of the design projects...it is NOT editable...so it has to be edited outside the template folder.
All Of my Lighting Effects Styles have disapeared, I am using photoshop cs2. I have checked the folder Plug-Ins Filters and the folder Lighting Styles is in there with all 17 of the different styles. yet when I load photoshop and go to filter render lighting effects in the window that pops up the styles tab [I think that's what you call it] has a drop down list which is fully blank nothing there at all. I tried changing the advanced properties of the lighting styles folder from index this folder for faster searching and tried it without the checkmark. this did not help and i have since discovered that was for windows XP were as I am using windows Vista.

So my question is how can I clip onto a layer with styles, but not inherit? I can't seem to find any 'clipping layer properties' kind of thing, or anything that allows me to specify it
I've been using photoshop 7.0 for quite some time now and i've realized that when I go to Filter > Render > Lightning effects.... i cant use the styles bar anymore....i use to be able to but recently i just cant anymore.... anyone know why i cant use the styles option in "Lightning effects" ? Would having win xp sp2 cause some conflict ?

View 9 Replies View Relatedabout the layer effects, specifically the shadows.
I have 2 layers:
1st layer has a 'Inner Shadow' at an angle of 150 degrees.
2nd layer.....I went to give it a 'Drop Shadow' of 100 degrees and notice that the 1st layer's angle has changed to '100' degrees from '150'.
Why is PhotoShop modifying the shadow effects of other layers when 1 in modified. Is this commom an how to disable it?
I know I could just create the layer in a new .psd, flatten and drag to the composition. But can't I just do it in the same .psd?
whenever i use layer styles on an object, and try to free transform it, it gets distorted everywhere...like vertical gradient lines. the edges also distort.
View 10 Replies View Relatedi'm trying to my own comic for my website, and i'm trying to create styles that will work on the shapes that i use for the caption boxes and speech bubbles. eg, for th e speech I create a shape, then add the styles Colour Fiill and each an 8 pixel stroke that forms the border of the shape. I click, "new Style" and it saves it happily.
the problem is....whenever i start up PShop again (using v6.0, BTW), the style is there, but the Stroke is 33 pixels. The colour fill is okay, but it wil NOT save the goddamned Stroke values - i've tried creating the new style, saving the styles then importing them and the same thing happens.
I'm making up album pages, with multiple pictures, each with a drop shadow/stroke round it. The photographs each have their own layer set, with adjustment layers correcting their individual colours - I don't want to merge the adjustment layers down until I'm ready to archive. I don't want to rasterize the layer styles yet either.
The problem I'm having is that the adjustment layers are affecting the layer styles - making the black line go a lighter grey etc. Is there a way round this? I'll merge the adjustment layers into the photographs if I have to, but is there a way of doing so while still leaving the layer style editable?
I copied a layer style (Outer glow) and pasted it on another file, value of the size in Outer glow, changed when pasted from 6 to 64. Why? How do I make copying the layer style more accurate?
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn the past I have received requests to make a reflection of a text or an image that has a layer style(s) on them (e.g. stroke, outer/inner glow, etc). The problem with this is, when I go in and make a reflection (I use the layer mask method), the styles are not reflected as they are supposed to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a shape I use the Shape from the drop down, create my shape and then using Layer Styles I create the look I want on the shape within CS6. When I have sent my file to another person who is using CS5 they cannot see my layer styles and they are lost... What is happening and how can I get them to see my layer styles?
Â
At the moment for them to see it I am having to recreate all my shapes so they are Pixel rather than shapes? why this is happening? I have never had this problem before and I have used Photoshop for years!
Could not add any Layer Styles. I also cannot add styles to any layer in this file. He says he started it in a Lab on campus. We use a deep freeze software and so the default preferences should be restored on the computers regularly. He thinks he has had this problem before and has worked on different computers. No one else has this problem. So, if that's true, all I can think is that he is "doing something" when he chooses File--New. I recently opened the projects from all of the other students in my office and this fellow's file is the only one I can't add styles to. It's something about the file itself. What is it?

I've looked everywhere and can't work it out, I'm sure it's easy to do though, right?
who was layed off to do some simple brochures. He has a ton of layer styles that I need to install on my PC.
I added the styles into the /Presets/Styles directory. I can see the text list on the top right in my syles icons.
However, the newly moved styles do not show up as a thumbnail unless I click on the text of the name.

what is the difference between filters and layer styles?
Obviously they have different sets of effects, but what makes an effect one or the other?
i probably sound like a newb and this is probably against the rules so forgive me if im not supposed to be posting questions but i have a problem. I have photoshop elements 2.0
when i go to the layer>layer style menu style settings is always greyed out. to me this seems one of the "key parts" of layers. but everytime i try it the same thing happens.
or to edit a layer property like gradient overlay from 2 layers at the same time?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to create a drop shadow effect on each one of them. so I have layer styles(drop shadow) for each one of them,but the problem is when I change the direction of shadow on one of them the others also change even though they are on a separate layer.
How do I get a diffrent angle for the shadow for each one of them?
Or is there any alternate way of acheiving the effect that the picture is inserted inside the cuts in the paper at the corners?
With Photoshop 6.01, I find the "Layer Style Dialog Box" is too large and covers up most of the area of my working window, ie my image. I have a 17inch monitor.
Is there not a value I can put into an "ini" file possibley to change the size of this box? I find this too frustrating to even continue using this program. I cannot believe this dialog box's size is not changeable, and that Adobe would allow an interactive dialog box cover the work that it's interacting with, ie., the box's preview option.
Effecting changes with layer styles choices cannot be seen affecting my image since my image is covered up by this box.
I drew a shape using the rectangle tool. I then added some options such as drop shadow, outer glow, etc... What is happening is if I create other shapes they automatically copy those options/styles how do I turn that off?

our users cannot be lucky everytime this happens,because sometimes they probably worked on something other than tube and pipe before the file gets corrupted.so switch over doesn't lose any of the work.But what if they have done a sizeable amount of tube and pipe design before the file gets corrupted?
My program is missing a few material styles from the content library, whenever I use them on a part they just stay the default color. How do I replace them without having to re download the whole program?

View 3 Replies View RelatedJust downloaded CS6 Photoshop off the creative cloud and the merge layer command does not work. What is happening is there is one layer with a layer style then a shape layer and when I hit Cmd E it merges the layers but the layer style will not merge with it. I was chatting it up and everything they recommended did not work. It works on all my other co-workers computers and we are all on the cloud. I tried renaming pref. folder, settings folder, re-installing, holding down shft+option+cmd on start up. I also created a test account but that turned out to be a major inconvenience. Once logged into the account there is nothing there. The suggestions just started getting more ridiculous as chat proceeded. Nothing.

Any solution where I don't have to create a whole new admin account just to see if CS6 Photoshop works correctly? Adobe customer portal is about worthless.
When I first launch Photoshop and load a preset layer style I can get a full list of available presets to load. After clicking on an element and actually using a layer style on it I no longer can get my full list of available presets to load. The list is cut to 1/3 of the original list.
Â
So the full list is available and in the folder but once using a layer style it seems most of the layers styles disappear from the load menu. I have had no problem with this for months and made no changes over the last few days so this is mind boggling.
I am currently running the new creative suite 6. Everything works perfectly fine but when I am in Photoshop trying to open my layer styles it will not pop up...but I know it's there because the hand shows up and I can't click anything else until I click enter which would mean im done in the layer styles.
I restarted my computer/re-installed Photoshop / downloaded the update...still doesn't work but it once did.
Basically i used to pen tool to draw a shape, i rasterised it and put an inner shadow on it using the layer styles, now how i could erase a corner of that shape without the inner shadow moving around the part i've just erased because i'm trying to blend it into the background
I hope you know what i mean, im sure if you opened photoshop, drew a shape, put inner shadow on it and then tried to erase a corner of it you'd see what i mean by the inner shadow moving into the part i just erased.
