Photoshop :: CS5 Extended Freezes In Layer Style
Aug 23, 2012
I'm having an issue with Photoshop CS5 Extended. Everything works fine upon start, but when I go into layer style to add effects there seems to be an issue. After making the changes, I'll press "Ok" and the layer style won't take. It stays on that screen. When I go to press "OK" again I get a windows sound as if the okay or any place in the screen can not be clicked (the sound that happens when there is an open window ontop of another window).I am using Windows 7.

experiencing urecoverable crashes (Windows freezes, have to restart the pc) when performing various actions. It seems to be happening only when something is going on in/with the document window, or when any modifications are made to the opened image. Using menus and other interface elements doesnt seem to cause any problems. The crashes usually happen a few minutes after the software has loaded.
Specifications:
Intel Core2Duo 3,16GHz
2GB RAM

Recently Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes when I launch it on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. The splash screen appears but then it just stops working (usually on initializing Tools).
I have read several things so far. To fix it I tried:
- disabling the TWAIN plugin
- resetting all tools
- deleting the Photoshop preferences file.
- deleting my printer from the control panel (some others said printer drivers could cause it)

Accessing metadata in Photoshop CS6 extended (file info) for any file, raw or .psd., causes application to freeze. I must force quit the application to continue. Application is running on OSX Lion.

I'm adjusting a photographic image and am using both a filter effect and a layer style in the same layer on a Smart Object. I want to separate the two effects into two layers, so one layer has the filter effect (Nik) and one layer has the layer style (Color Overlay) (with the goal of merging/rasterizing the Nik filter effect with the Smart Object but keeping the layer style unmerged). I can make two layers and move one effect without problem, but the visual result of each effect on a separate layer is quite different from having both effects in the same layer. The Blend Mode for all my layers is Normal. Within the Color Overlay panel, the blend mode is Linear Burn.
Layer 1: a layer style and a filter effect, stacked
looks very different from....
Layer 2: a layer style
Layer 1: a filter effect

I'm using a clipping mask on a layer. The base layer that the clipping mask is referencing has a layer effect applied (in this case an inner shadow). I want to make it so the layer effect is only applied to the base layer and NOT the clipped layers.
Below is an example of what I'm talking about. as you can see, layer 1 has the base layer's inner shadow applied to it. I want the inner shadow to be hidden by Layer 1, but the clipping mask to still apply.

I like the way a layer of mine looks with a layer style (color burn) applied to it. I want to rasterize or do something to the layer so that it looks that way when the layer style is normal, kinda of how when you have effects assigned to a layer and when you rasterize it the effects merge with the layer.
Obviously just rasterizing the layer isn't how to do it but its the closest thing I could think of, does anyone know what I could do here?

I've tried importing spheres in both .obj and .3ds format,
Those odd stepped artifacts only disappear when "Single Light From Eye" is the light mode. They seem to appear regardless of whether the 3d file is saved with lighting information or not.
I'm importing the shapes using Layers - 3d Layers - New Layer From 3d File

I try to generate an action applying a filter to every layer for files with dozens of layers. To move through layers, one supposedly can use "select next layer" menu item. However, "select next layer" does not exist in SELECT menu, and keyboard shortcut option-+/- (also tried option-alt-+/-, option-numkeypad-+/-) does not work. It moves through the blending options in the layers palette, but does not go to the next/previous layer.
How do I tell PS to move to the next layer without clicking on the specific layer? I.e., some sort of command that I can integrate into an action.
how to I make select next layer available again in PS CS5? There are no hidden menu items, so no "show all menu items" at bottom of menu.

Everytime I want to use the 3D Mode on Photoshop CS5 Extended, the one option the I need is disabled.
My videocard can handle the graphics. So that is not the problem.The one that I need is "New Shape From Layer". The "New 3D Postcard From Layer" and the "New Mesh From Grayscale" are usable.

Running CS4 extended on Vista64, Corei7 quad @2.9 GHz, 8 Gig Ram and nVidia quadro FX 1700. I can not get layer styles to work in documents that originated in CS3 extended.
If I start a new document they work.

When I apply a Layer Style, like Drop Shadow, to an object on a transparent layer, I would like to put that Layer Style on its own layer. Then I would have some more options in working with it, like Transform. I'm using Photoshop CS6 Standard.

I'm having an issue trying to move the camera view in cs6 extended using a 3d Layer. Here's the idea:
1. Create a 3D Layer extrusion / mesh primitive.
2. I select the current view item in 3D Panel / click outside model.
3. The border frame appears yellow.
4. When I select the Move tool, I can only rotate around the y axis, can't rotate up or down. Can't roll the camera, move or slide either using the other move tool modes.
5. I can adjust the co-ordinates properties for the current view and it works OK.
6. Object /light transforms work OK.
I'm testing on 13.0.1, mac 10.7.4. I had the same problem on another machine on 10.6.8 on v 13.0 last week that fixed itself, but not sure how .

I have a simple clothing pattern I want to make a 3d Texture from which I can do however what I would like to do is make a layer out of the white background around the template with the marked pattern areas as transparent so after I paint the main template clothing ares, I can place the white background with transparent areas back in as a layer to cover where I paint or fill over the marked template area. Is this possible, if so, how?
I am working in CS5 Extended.

I created a simple layer shape using the elipse shape tool, and applied a color overlay (blue) layer effect to that shape. The applied color overlay doesn't fill the entire shape (see image) making it look like the shape has a very wide stroke applied to it (it doesn't). If I "copy merged" the pasted copy is a rasterized version of the problematic overlay. If I rasterize the layer, the fill then covers the entire shape.
Jpeg below. Shape is black, color overlay is blue. There is no other effect applied. Blend mode normal, opacity 100%. The image upload won't let me attach the layered PSD file.
I'm running PS CS6 under Creative Cloud.

I added inner and outer glow and a drop shadow to an image. Now I want to keep only the glow and shadow parts but delete the rest of the image so it is transparent. Is there an easy way to do this?
Here is more detail about what I am trying to do if it helps. I want to make a team photo of video game characters I have trimmed out individually. When you mouse over them they highlight in the glow effect. I have done this by making background photo with the entire picture with all the characters already added.
Then I have CSS hover attributes that cover each character with another version that has the glow effect. I am not sure this is the best way but it works. My problem is the multiple png files add up quickly. If I could trim out all the detail and just keep the outline glow I think the file size would easily cut in half or more for each character.

I have several times a little problem with subject.
If you take some Layer Style and then set mask on it then its of course mask all image.
I have problem to exlain it, i'll show:
that i have, and want to achieve that:
but get that by swich on mask on that layer:
So did i miss something about layer styles and there is easy way to apply mask to only effects, but not to image itself? Or at least to get something like that:
P.S. I know that it can be done my manipulation with groups or "merging" but is there some more "natural" way?
