Photoshop Elements :: Settings For Layers Panel?

Jan 7, 2013

Is there a setting for the layers panel where you can set the maximum # layers or minimum that one can display on the layers panel. For some odd reason i can only set up 3 layers on the layers panel. Can you set up 8 or more layers(that become visible) on layers display. My lasso tool seems to be working normally now. etc.

Photoshop Elements :: Add New Images To The Layers Panel?

Feb 16, 2013

how to import new images into the layers panel.  If I hit "create new layer" all I get is a blank layer.  What I want to do is import an image from which I will cut out part of it and layer it onto another image.  For example: lets's say I want to put an image of myself in front of a tree.  I want to take the image of myself from one picture and layer it onto the picture which has the tree on it.  How do I get both of those images into the same layers panel?  I can get the picture of myself into the layers panel as layer #1, then I can cut myself out of the picture.  My problem is, when I try to import the picture with the tree on it, it opens itself up in a new tab.  If I try to hit "create new layer", only a blank layer apprears above my first layer.  I have tried to drag the new image onto the layers panel, but it won't attach.  All of the tutorials I have been able to find/watch,  already have all of the images they are working with pre-loaded into the layers panel.  I just need to know how to get my images into the panel, so that I can start to work with them.

Photoshop Elements :: Layers Panel Is Blank

Nov 15, 2012

I have been using PSE 10 on this laptop for over a year, and PSE 7 for years. Today I opened a PSE file to carry on working on it, and the layers panel was blank, even though it has several layers. I opened a jpg and tried to create a new layer, and nothing shows up in the layers panel. I don't remember changing anything between last night and today. Is PSE corrupt?

Photoshop Elements :: Layer(s) Not Showing Up On Top Of Background - Only In Layers Panel?

Jan 16, 2014

Started working with PSE and when I tried to "stamp" a brush shape (whether default brushes or otherwise), the program does something it had never done before....SEE ATTACHED.  I will create a new layer to use my brush, but when I try to "stamp" it onto background, the program then creates a layer mask where I can see the brush shape AND a new layer, however ALL that shows up on the background is the icon you can see in my screen grab I am attaching here.  What is this icon? (The teeny one middle right of image, black square, outlined in red, with two red circles in the middle) I called Apple, we did a few things, they said it wasn't on there end.  I reset my tools, I uninstalled, reinstalled, to no avail. Again, I've reset all tools, the "eye" icon on layers panel shows it should be visible, I've tried layers-->merge visible, I've uninstalled and reinstalled.....

I would like to increase the font size in many text layers at a time by selecting them in the layers panel. The font increases, but the text boxes don't expand to fit the increased size text.

Photoshop :: CS6 Edit Commands Grayed Out To Copy / Cut Objects And Layers?

Mar 27, 2013

Why are my edit commands (copy and cut) grayed out / unavailable? When trying to copy a selected layer or object, all my editing commands are grayed out and unavailable. Even if I convert something to a smart object, no joy. The only thing I seem to be able to select and copy/cut/paste is text in the text edit mode. makes no sense and is rendering PS unusable.

Photoshop Elements :: Why Is Remove Keyword Tag Grayed Out In 12

Dec 22, 2013

I recently upgraded from PSE 6.0 to PSE 12.  Apparently, my tags DID move, since I can sort photos in PSE 12 by tag.  However, if I right click on a photo which I know has tags (because it was in a sort by tag), the Remove Keyword Tag option is grayed out.  I find no way to see which tags are attached to a given photo.  On the other hand, if I right click some pictures, the Remove Keyword Tag is not grayed out, and I can see at least one tag that is attached to the file.  (I'm using Windows Vista.)
