Photoshop :: Clipping Layer Onto A Layer With Styles

Sep 25, 2012

I'm trying to clip a layer onto another layer that contains styles. Whenever I do this though, the layer I'm clipping appears to disappear. My guess is that it's inheriting the styles from the layer it's being clipping onto, and so it's indistinguishable.

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

Photoshop :: Base Layer Layer Style With Clipping Masks

Feb 19, 2009

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.

Photoshop :: CS6 - Layer Clipping Mask

May 3, 2013

In CS6, the clipping mask is just an icon in the lower right of the layer icon in the palette. How do I easily drag it to another layer to create the same clipping mask? In previous Photoshops, you could option drag it to other layers/folder to quickly add the masks.

Photoshop :: Allow Clipping Of Group To Underlying Layer

Aug 12, 2012

A non-Group layer can be clipped to an underlying Group, but I was surprised to find that the inverse relationship, i.e. a Group clipped to an underlying layer, is not possible. A workaround is to convert Group to Smart Object then clip the SO to the underlying layer.
 
Enable clipping of Group to underlying layer.

Photoshop :: Multiple Clipping Paths On Same Layer

Oct 4, 2011

It seems that it not able to make several paths on a single layer and then turn each path into it's own "clipping path " rather than just an outline path...Is this correct or am I doing something wrong ? I have 3 pieces of silverware on a background and want to outline each one separately then turn that path into a clipping path to move it to another file...I am able to make any one of them a clipping path , but not the others.

Photoshop :: Clipping Adjustment Layer To A Group?

Nov 10, 2006

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)?

Photoshop :: Clipping Path And Layer Be Moved / Sized Together?

May 15, 2012

MacBook Pro OS 10.7.4
Photoshop 6
Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
603 GB available
 
I have recently had to begin using Clipping Paths for knockouts and silo's. I am having trouble though with moving the layer that has been knocked out and the clipping path that 'corresponds' to that layer.
 
What I want to know is if I can move them and size them together and still retain a clipping path? Every time I transform the layer and have the clipping path selected it only affects the clipping path. If I deselect the clipping path and transform it only affects the layer. The clipping path just stays where it is and I would have to move it independently of the layer to realign it.
 
Sometimes I want to re-orient the layer from vertical to diagonal on the white background but that will unalign it from the clipping path.

Photoshop :: Creating Base Layer For Clipping Mask

May 9, 2011

I am struggling with clipping masks and after a few hours of scouring the internet and trying different techniques, I am left no closer to my end result than from when I started.

I am creating a banner. The banner contains 1 background image and some text. I'd also like to include 9 photos on top of the background image, all bound by a textured border. I have created the borders for all 9 images and have placed them on the background. Now, my questions is how I make these base layers of a clipping mask. I want the the mask to show the image, even through some of the textured border.

I know how to create the actual clipping mask of the image to be placed in the border. My question lies entirely within the base layer/border layer.

Photoshop :: Layer Styles?

Apr 15, 2003

about 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?

Photoshop :: New Layer Styles

Mar 16, 2003

i'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.

Photoshop :: Layer Styles

Jan 31, 2005

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?

Photoshop :: Layer Styles Are Not Reflecting

Feb 11, 2012

In 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.

Photoshop :: Keep Loosing Layer Styles - CS5?

Aug 29, 2013

When 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?
 
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!

Photoshop :: Layer Styles Seem Disabled

Mar 9, 2012

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?

Photoshop :: Adding Many Layer Styles At Once

Jan 29, 2009

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.

Is there an easy way to mass import the 300+ ASL files I have?

I am using PS CS3

Photoshop :: Problem With Layer Styles

May 3, 2008

I 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?

Photoshop :: Layer Styles Box Is Too Large?

Jan 1, 2004

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.
