Photoshop :: Reversed B&W Adjustment Layer / Export Color Channel To Layer

Mar 1, 2012

What I want to do is to have an adjustment layer that is a reversed, black and white image.  I initially thought to merge B&W and reverse adjustment layers, but read that an adjustment layer may not be the target of a merge.  Is the way to accomplish this to fiddle with the B&W adjustment layer sliders somehow?
 
I like how the black and white displayed image of a given color channel looks, how can I export that channel into a layer?

Photoshop :: Shortcut For New Adjustment Layer To Apply To Previous Layer?

Jun 12, 2013

I use a lot of adjustment layers and they're often applied to the previous layer. Is there a keyboard shortcut to automatically "Use pervious layer as clipping mask" without going through the dialogue box or manually applying in the layers palette(Option-click between layers)?

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer To Affect More Than One Layer / But Not All?

Dec 16, 2011

I'm familiar with adjustment layers and clipping masks, but am wondering if there's a way to have an adjustment layer affect a group of layers below it, but not all of them. (Usually you have a choice of having it affect either JUST the layer beneath it (through a clipping mask), or ALL of the layers beneath it.

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer Or Background Layer?

Mar 31, 2006

When you open an image with adjustment layers, what determines what is selected, the background or the adjustment layer? It seems sometimes it's one or the other, and I don't know the logic. Personally I would prefer that the image always opens with the background layer selected.

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer

Jul 22, 2009

Im creating a layout in CMYK and have a brigthness/contrast layer above my artwork. Once I merge the layers together (save it as TIFF) the contrast is not the same and I cant get the same color/contrast effect when I do it in flattened image. Any ideas how to solve this problem?I was thinking of taking screenshots of the "pre-merged" layout and putting it together but its a rather large file...

Photoshop :: CS6 Adjustment Layer Interface (vs CS3)?

Nov 14, 2012

In CS3, my workhorse editor until recently, when I double clicked an adjustment layer it opened up the initial settings window. There I was able to tab browse through the variables, make whatever adjustments I wanted, hit enter, and live happily ever after. I haven't been able to figure out how do do this in CS6, which has the 'properties' panel for making changes to adjustment layer settings.
 
The question: Can CS6 be set to behave like CS3 in this respect?

Photoshop :: Difference Between New And Adjustment Layer?

Feb 15, 2012

1) I'm not clear about when I should use an ordinary "new layer" and when an "adjustment layer"; are there instances when either will work and others when only one will; and

2) I think I've come across something funny about using an opacity setting: Say I've used one of the brush tools and, then, toned things down by lowering the opacity. I then go on to save the photo and quit PE. Well, when I open that photo again, the opacity comes already set as it was before. I find this confusing, especially if I go on to do something else involving opacity. Somehow it makes more sense to me to always begin fresh at "100%".

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer Linking

Oct 21, 2013

I'm almost finished with a project, but like always at the end something has to go wrong.

So I'm trying to make this sort of portal (based on a videogame).

I got the portal like I want it to be, but when I link the Color Balance effect to the Portal layer (so that it only effects that layer) the color just disappears, leaving me with a white portal.

But it needs to be done, otherwise it effects my other layers to and turn everything red.

When I link layers this happens:

But if I don't, it of course turns everything red:

Photoshop :: CC - Adjustment Layer Curves

Jun 21, 2013

Just upgraded CS6 to CC and really enjoy a lot of the changes but there seems to be a bug with the adjustment layer curves (not regular curves).
 
If I make a change to the curve using modification point and then toggle "undo", the preview of the image will toggle on and off with the change but the modification point does not reset. This point stays in the original position even if the curves are not in effect and will only reset when another layer is selected before returning back to these curves.
 
One must also manually reset the point if you wanted to revert back to the original (instead of undo) because if you place another modification point on the curve it will revert back to the change you made earlier.

Photoshop :: Curves Adjustment Layer

Jan 5, 2013

Many Photoshop users consider the Curves panel to be Photoshop's most important feature. For many Curves users, the Layer panel introduced in CS4 does not offer the speed, the instinctive use, nor the superior results of the older Curves Layer panel.

The Curves dialog includes all the features that long-time users rely on. Some of these features have not been included in the Adjustment Layer version. They should all be available in the Layers panel, too.

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer Question

Dec 9, 2004

how to make an adjustment layer and make the adjustments when the dialog/window pops up. Then I click OK and the layer appears in the Layers Pallet. So now lets say I want to refine the adjustment I just OKed. Is there a way to get the adjustment dialog to open up again? Or do I have to delete the first adjustment layer and start over on that adjustment?

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer Thumbnails?

Mar 1, 2008

about the appearance of adjustment layer thumbnails or icons. At times when I create an adjustment layer the thumbnail comes in as I expect ie a levels adjustment layer shows the scale icon. But at other times the layer will show a circle that is half black and half white like the add adjustment layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette.

I can?t figure out why this happens or what triggers it to change. It has no impact on the functioning of the layers it is just annoying and I like to see the correct thumbnails so I can tell what kind of layer it is at a glance.

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer Icon

Apr 12, 2008

I'm trying to figure out why my layers panel is not resembling tutorial.

By creating a new adjustment layer via split ball icon at bottom of panel, and doing a curves adjustment, text shows adjustment layer with Curves icon and Mask icon. Same goes with adjustment with Photo Filter, showing Photo Filter icon and Mask icon.

When I follow directions, my adjustment layer shows the adjustment layer icon and mask icon, I also can't paint on the mask properly.

Photoshop :: Why Adjustment Layer Controls Grayed Out

May 2, 2012

I have used an adjustment layer in CS5 and when it was first used I could adjust everything.  Now most of the controls have grayed out and whilst I can slide the sliders I can not type figures in nor use the radio buttons!  Why has it locked me out?  It has happened on a few images and with both Color Balance and Hue and Saturation Layers.

The image above shows the problem with the top Color Balance layer where I can not select Shadows or Highlights, nor type in figures for the sliders BUT I can slide them and change the tick on Preserve Luminosity!  The basic image being edited is an 8-bit RGB file. 
 
Adding a new adjustment layer (Color Balance) on top of this one initially showed the same problem but after adding 3 more new adjustment layers suddenly everything came back to fully working again - even the original problem layer!

This problem keeps happening with some of my images.  It is happening on all 3 of our Photoshop PC's, so it looks like a basic PS bug.

Photoshop :: Color Balance Adjustment Layer

Feb 3, 2013

Suddenly when applying a color balance adjustment layer I'm unable to click on the shadows, midtones, and highlights. They are each grayed out and I'm only given the option to apply the setting overall. I'm thinking I must have made some kind of setting change somewhere for this to happen.

The images are RGB 8bit color mode.

Photoshop :: CS6 - Color Balance Adjustment Layer

May 24, 2012

I have a question about color balance. It seems it's the only one that the drag and drop doesn't work. It's my pc , or is the default? 
 
I added 2 screenshots. i added a red arrow to let you see the mouse pointer in the first screenshot i can drag and drop (i'm not talking about the sliders) in the second screenshot , ONLY color balance (and it's very WEIRD ) i can not drag and drop.
 
I'm under w7 , tested under 64 and 32bit .don't know about mac.

Photoshop :: Apply Adjustment Layer To All Layers

Dec 19, 2012

I ran to a little trouble using photoshop today. I wanted to get rid of the "adjustment layer" but leave the effects.
 
For example:
 
I have two layers and I want to apply the adjustment layer effect to them. I don't want to leave that "adjustment layer" on top of everyone. I can't use groups because my real project is too complicated. By the way, applying the adjustment layer to all of them means all the layers remain an image but they have been modified (for example: color, black and white, etc.).

Photoshop :: CS4: Black-and-White Adjustment Layer -...

Dec 11, 2008

The modal dialogue for Black and White has the "Colorize" option and for that "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders.

But Black and White as an adjustment layer in the adjustments palette does NOT offer the Saturation slider. At least not in my CS4 Extended on Win XP. There is the targeted adjustment tool (TAT), but it changes color, not saturation.

Photoshop :: Clipping Adjustment Layer To A Group?

Is there any way to "clip" an adjustment layer to a layer group?

If I have ten layers grouped and want to correct all their curves alltogether -

how can I do that (without merging down the group and without affecting the layers underneath, of course)?
