Photoshop :: Eyeballs, Layer Pallette Eyeballs
Mar 7, 2008
I just upgraded to CS3 and it seems they added a step in highlighting layers in the layers pallette. In CS if you were working on one layer and the other layer had the eyeball turned off and you wanted to go back to that layer all you had to do was click the layer box and the eyeball popped back on.
Now in PS3 when you select the layer box the eyeball stays off and you have to click the eyeball to bring it back. Why would they add a new step to slow things down?

Is there a quick way to turn on all of the layer eyeballs in one go, can shift click the layers to highlight them all.

I'm trying to add a snow layer to a photo, which I've done before quite well.
This time, something ain't working right!
I've noticed that in my layers pallette, for each layer, on the left hand side is the "eye" icon, but then there should be a "paint brush" icon ....... and there isn't.
Is this why the whole process isn't working?
how do I get the "paint brush" icon back?
screenshot showing the pallette (with missing paint brush).

Is there anywhere that clearly explains what everything does in the brushes pallette? Or maybe a tutorial?
I understand some of the basic stuff like the color dynamics, and smoothing etc. But the shape dynamics and whatnot i could use a bit of clarification on.

Must have hit a wrong key.
The blue bar at the top of the pallette has disappeared in the History, Histogram and Tool Design Preset windows. What do I do to get it back so that I will be able to move these windows to where I want them.

I want to break an image down into a core group of colors. Is there any way in photoshop cs to define my colors so when I select one it snaps to the best choice...
I.E. if you select a color with the eye dropper then you check the RGB value of it you can click the "Web Only Colors" and it will snap to the closest choice.
I want to have a pallette of 10-11 colors and have it snap to the best choice...
--------
2.
Or even better... take a whole image and convert it to the 10-11 colors I want. Is this possible with some sort of filter?
WHITE
BLACK
BLUE
GREEN
PINK
BROWN,

In Photoshop CS2 - I used to be able to select the current tool by clicking on it, but now when I click on a tool the window pops up with all the tools available. This happens when I click on any tool that has other options. Usually I would have to click and hold to view the pop up window of other tool options or right click on the arrow for that tool to get the pop up window of the other tools. I have tried resetting my prefeneces by deleting the Adobe Photoshop X Prefs.psp as mentioned in another blog on this site. But that hasn't helped. Any help would be greatly appreciated, other than telling me to upgrade to the current version os CS,

involving the choice of creating a new image with 8bit or 16bit color depth.
If I'm about to create a new logo or image of some sort my first impulse is to use the highest of the 2 (8 or 16).
I know it has to do with the amount of color information in each pixel so I grab at the highest number... is that impulse reasonable? Striving for the highest quality? Or is there a point of diminishing "perceivable" results?
I have also noticed that some 3rd party filters do not work when in the 16bit mode so that "might" be a drawback I suppose.
Also - I can set my monitor to 32bit color - and do - yet PS stops at 16bit... what is the reason for this please?

It appears that the Layer Filters functionality is broken again with 2013. Unchecking the "Apply layer filter to layer toolbar" disables the function of layer filters in the tool palette.

I have found that when I use the Layer Styles on one layer and then make a new layer or select a shape that creates a new layer that when I go to add Styles to the new layer/new shape the previous layer is affected by how I set the Bevel & Emboss, Direction, Altitude, Drop Shadow etc etc.
Â
For instance, let's say I have a ...
Â
BG > New Layer > draw an ellipse and then add a Bevel with an > Angle of 89 and an Altitude of 30 and then I add a New Layer > open the Styles and go to change the Angle to say +89 or whatever and the Altitude to say 45 ... the first Layer/Shape Effects change.
Â
How I can keep one Layer from being affected by an other Layers Effects'?
Â
I have found that if I Rasterize a Layer Effect that I can add a "double" effect on the same layer but I haven't tried the to do this with separate layers. However, for most of the work I am doing I cannot use the Raster because everything needs to be true vectors.

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.

Upon trying to open a line sheet i'm working on, photoshop tells me:
Problems were encountered reading layers
"..."
"..."
"..."
Because the layer is not a valid layer. Some layers will use existing pixel data.

I have two maps of same area (different years) and I want to match them up as one map. I can load them both as layers and make the older map transparent so that I can see through to newer map, but older map is larger than the newer map (in the background). I can move the transparent map but I cannot make just the transparent map smaller to fit over the other map. I will also need to rotate the map slightly. When I try to resize it changes both maps. I have tried the transform and the move tool. So how can I make one layer smaller and rotate it it leaving the other layer intact?

I made a wax seal on Photoshop with a lot of embossment, bedevilment and a Smart Filter. It's done and I just need to make it smaller so it fits well on my certificate. When I resize it (Ctr + T) It pops up a message that reads:Â
______________________________________________
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
Â
"Smart Filters applied to layers contained in this group will be turned off temporarily while the transform is being previewed. They will be applied after committing the transform."
Â
OK
Â
[] Don't show again
______________________________________________
Â
I click OK and I re-size the layer with free transform, and then hit enter. The Layer is resized but my Smart Filter which creates a wavy affect around the seal is totally distorted.
Â
How do re-size my layer with smart filter without affecting the smart filter aspect of the layer.

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?
Â
I like how the black and white displayed image of a given color channel looks, how can I export that channel into a layer?

I can do one or another, but both at the same time? It is annoying because a mask selection turns into layer selection when you select a second layer/folder.

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)?

this is my problem:
Â
Pic 1. I have an image I want to use as a background, however the image is not complete. I need a part of pic 2 to fullfill it.
Pic 2. The colors around the object doesn't match the colors of Pic 1.
Â
Normally it would be best to cut the object out. However in this case it wouldn't look nice (the object is mixed out (in color) with the rest of the image). If I cut out something the object won't look "proper".
My question:
Â
How can I blend pic 2 on pic 1, using the original object from pic 2 (as it is), and at the same time blend the colors around it, so that it matches that of pic 1 / or simply remove it somehow?

I know that if I make a selection I can press Ctrl + J to promote that selection to a new layer. Is there a way to promote the layer but leave the focus on the existing layer?
Â
What would be the absolute icing on the cake would be if I could have the focus stay on the existing layer AND for the selection that has just been promoted to be de-selected.

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.

this is how i usually duplicate a layer, by dragging and dropping to the new layer icon at the bottom of the palette. it is not letting me do that.
also, when i select a a single, or group of layers and move them around in the palette, i thought it used.
