Photoshop :: How To Get Images Into The Layers Panel

Feb 20, 2013

I can only get one image at a time into the layers panel. If I go to ‘new layer’ it shows a chequered image only. How can I bring my other images into this panel?

I know it is probably elementary, but I’m just learning.

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 :: Increase Font Size In Many Text Layers At A Time By Selecting In Layers Panel

May 9, 2013

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. So I am having to make each box bigger manually. Is there a way to have the boxes expand to fit bigger text automatically through the layers panel?

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 :: 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.....

After Effects :: CC Freezes When Using Layers Panel?

Jan 29, 2014

I'm having an issue with the Layers panel, which is docked to my Comp panel, freezing my system whenever I try to click into any other panel. I can open a project, click on a layer to do some painting and then if I try to go back to the Comp panel...it freezes. My only solution is to open the Task Manager and shut down AE. If I save everything before I try to get out of the Layers panel then I am okay but that getting old fast.
 
I'm working on an hp Z420 Workstation. This system is entirely new as of December 2013 and there haven't been any major  issues but this has popped up and it's getting in the way of production.

Illustrator :: Workflow Optimization Layers Panel

Mar 20, 2013

Every time I'm working in an Illustrator file with multiple layers and hundreds of objects on those layers that sometimes aren't grouped yet, I find it hard to select click on the objects in the layers panel on the right, selecting them via shift-click (you know, selecting all objects between the first and the last clicked object).
 
Is there a way I can select layer objects with the shift-option and afterwards have all of the items selected on the artboard? See the images for illustration.

Illustrator :: Why Doesn't Layers Panel Have Any Info

Jul 2, 2012

Thus far I have just one Layer. I went to Window > Layer so that the pallete would be open. However, there's no information in it. Only when I move it does the layer info show up.I've never had this problem before. All I did was create a New Layer > Drew Circle > added a Gradient and then went to look at the layers pallete but nothing.
 
What to do to turn it back on. Also, I have tried shutting down Illustrator, tried a New File and have shut down my pc but nothing seems to bring back the info in the layers palette.

Illustrator :: How To Display Object Appear In The Center Of Layers Panel

Feb 26, 2012

I have an illustrator file with several hundred layers and objects. If I select an object for targeting in the Layers panel, is there a way that I can get the object to be displayed in the center of the workspace. I currently have to zoom in and pan the document to see the object.

Likewise, if I select an object in the document, is there a way to have that object appear in the center of the Layers panel? I currently have to scroll the Layers panel to find the parent layer, and then drill down through the child layers until I find my selected object.

Illustrator :: CS6 Layers Panel Won't Allow Moving Objects By Dragging Selected-art Indicator Dot

May 22, 2012

Having trouble moving objects between layers by simply dragging the right-hand dot to a new layer? CS6 won't let me drag the dot on any kind of selected art from any kind of file I've tried..
 
Click the name of the desired layer in the Layers panel. Then choose Object > Arrange > Send To Current Layer. Drag the selected-art indicator , located at the right of the layer in the Layers panel, to the layer you want.  But method #2 doesn't work at all for me. In fact, the cursor doesn't even change when I mouse over the selected-art indicator dot.
