Photoshop :: How To Make Layer Not Selectable In CC
Jul 3, 2013
After recent update (CC) the feature which was allowing the invisible layers (turned off by "eye" icon) to be not selectable by Move Tool is gone. So when one have a web page design with 300 layers and 3 states in groups and you decide to deactive some of them (make them invisible) you can still select them. So overall it makes imposible to selecet anything. You must do it manualy on the Layers pannel.
Â
See image below - so instead of selecting only visible layers (like in previous versions) now onet is forced to select every possible layers so in most cases all present layers in the file.

I have an imported svg file that I've saved to Illustrator 17.1. I can't seem to change the layer colors (they're all the same light blue) - the only options that come up in the Layer Options dialog are checkboxes for Lock and Show. Oddly, duplicating a layer seems to give the new layer a different color, but again I can't set the color of that layer myself.
Â
Really want to be able to do this, as I use layer colors to track their status (red = not even close to done, yellow = in progress, green = done in MY eyes, blue = done in the CUSTOMER's eyes).

I just drew a polyline on my defpoints layer, but now the polyline is not selectable. I have had this happen before with a different file and couldn't fix it then either.
All the settings/layer states look fine, but as soon as I add something to the defpoints layer it's untouchable.

I'm thinking that I learned this once in a tutorial but is this possible? I know you can use the SAVE FOR WEB and make a link but can you also do something else to just make the text IN the graphic so that it's selectable or still becomes visible to search engines or searches? I made a graphic in Illustrator but really want the text to be selectable on the site still....

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?

How do I make the edges of the top layer blend in with the bottom layer so you cannot tell that there is a line??? I want to make it look like a heart but I don't know how to smoothen the edges to make it look like it is part of the bottom layer so when I merge the layers there is no goofy lines looking like someone cropped another fire picture out...

I don't get it: my old CS2 has PS with texture filter that actually is there, while my PS5 app shows an unselectable "texture" in filters. WHAT IS WITH THAT? I feel ripped - off now that I need to use it in this project.

How would you take a layer mask, and make it its own layer? If you try copying and pasting a layer mask, you can only dock it to another layer.

In order to make a copy of a layer. I know I make a copy of the layer, but then I'm having issues taking the layer, and reversing it horizontally so that I can create a new layer using the previous copied layer. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and I've been experimenting with it. I'm now able to create really nice and curvy looking hills, but still just not able to copy it, and reverse it.

Photoshop CC Extensions menu is greyed out. I cannot select event that menu.
Â
The extensions installed successfully in Extension Manager CC, no errors. I even tried uninstalling and trying just 1... no dice. I've reinstalled Extension Manager CC without success as well.
Â
A few of those extensions are scripts and those are available through the File > Scripts just fine, but the Extensions are not. I have no issue at home using them, but here on my work computer I cannot access them at all.
 Â
In Photoshop CC, I cannot even click on the Extensions menu, not even the Exchange is available which is built in:
Â
I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop CC and reinstalled the plugins and I still have the same issue. No error messages, it's just not selectable.

I am not new in Photoshop but I never had to do this before and it seams to be less straight forward than I expected.
I have a PSD file containing some graphics and some text. I want to export it in PDF and I want that the text in the PDF can be selectable for an easy copy and paste. Is that possible? All the PDFs I can save contain text as imagine and not as selectable text. How to solve this?

I'm having two related issues. Currently running CS4 on OSX.
Â
1. I've exported my project as a pdf. Some of the text is not selectable at all. That is, the cursor won't even highlight the text in the pdf file.
Â
2. Some of the text that is selectable when copied and pasted to another document gives me all sorts of crazy looking characters (none of which I recognize.

I can't believe this is still an issue in CS6. When you have multiple text layers stacked near or in between each other, its impossible to lock the layer so that it can no longer be selected. Even if the layer is locked, the TYPE tool is still able to select it. This makes its a super pain in the tail to edit text near each other. Is there a way to make the text layers lock and NOT be selectable?
Â
Instead of locking a layer and not being able to select it with the type tool, a pop-up telling us that its locked come up?

When I want to cut an item out of an image, I create a mask on the image's layer and paint out everything except the item I want to keep. Something has changed and I can no longer select that remaining item in the layer after I've applied the layer mask and essentially painted out everything else.
Â
For instance if I wanted an apple cut out of a tree, I would paint everything in black except that apple, which remains white in the mask. After applying the mask to the layer, I should be able to click in the empty space around the apple wtih my magic wand tool and have it make a perfect selection around that apple, yet the magic wand tool is still picking up the leaves, branches, etc. Even though I've painted them out and applied the mask, essentially deleting them, and all I can see is the grey and white checkerboard grid behind the apple.
This is Photoshop CS6 and it was working fine before. Did I change something without realizing it?

a way to duplicate a layer behind a layer, rahter than in front of a layer? Maybe through an action script? I have tried a few times without luck. ...basically, I do a lot of architectural photo composites. When I am placing trees, I often duplicate layers, and scale, and tint to fill in area. But when I duplicate the layer allways goes in front, rather than behind. Since I can only scale down to keep my resolution crisp, I then have to manually drag that layer down the list, so it is behind the layer that was duplicated.

I'm making an image which has a lot of layers, so I wondered if it is possible to group a few layers so they appear as one layer? Merging them won't work, then the layer styles vanish,

What I want to do is make it seem as though an image is super-imposed on another. More specifically I'm trying to put someone's face on a guitar in a picture and had two layers:
1) The guitar
2) The persons face
if it's possible to make the persons face transparent enough(If at all) so it would appear on the guitar?

I've made some selections by color range to recreate a scan and have them as channels. When I save them as a pdf while veiwing only the channels the result is a blank pdf. I'm thinking I should convert the channels to layers but can you. It seems I've done it before.

I want to make my layer volumetric transparent.
Like:
When you choose white&black and drag with gradient tool, it has a soft fade to black. I want to make it like:
Center of image (%100 Transparent)
Soft Fade
Borders of image (%100 Opaque)
