Photoshop :: Why Cannot Record Certain Blending Options Using Actions

Sep 21, 2013

I'm trying to make some recordings/actions, which I've done alot before, but I can't get all of my blending options to record.  Specifically the curves to my bevel & emboss and my contour....after playing the action, it will apply the DEFAULT bevel and won't remember any of my gloss contour settings. 

I'm trying to make these actions universal, however when I select a layer to modify, it records the name of the layer I click on...so if i use the recording later on a different file and it doesn't have that same layer name, then the action won't work...

Photoshop :: Blending Options!

Mar 21, 2007

how to apply the effects of blending options to a selection rather than an entire layer? My problem is that I have the template for the object I'm designing set up, and I'm trying to set up different textures and effects to different faces. Now, I try to duplicate the different faces on different layers and apply the blending options individually, and that's fine, but the effects are destroyed when I try to merge or flatten the image.

Photoshop :: Getting Program Error In CS6 When Trying To Use Blending Options

Jun 24, 2013

I have been doing some graphic design in Photoshop CS6 Extended and since Friday it won't let me use the Adjustments that contain all the blending options.  Keeps coming up with the message Program Error.  I have updated EVERYTHING and run through my Mac with Apple support so it has to be something to do with Photoshop.

Photoshop :: Set Multiple Inner Shadows In Blending Options?

Apr 20, 2012

In CSS 3, I'm accustomed to being able to set multiple inset box-shadow values so that I can set four (or even more) inner shadows to a rectangular shape.  In Photoshop, I can only set one inner shadow.  I'm already using stroke for the border, and inner glow doesn't provide me the granular control I want for setting a different inner shadow color on each of the four sides of a rectangle. 

In other words, imagine a rectanglular shape with a 1px border and four 1px inner borders, each of different colors.

Photoshop :: Blending Options, Fx, Effects, Copy, CS4

Jun 16, 2009

In PS CS4 In my layers palette, I used to be able to have an effect (ex. drop shadow) on a layer & drag that effect onto another layer so the layers would have the exact same effect. In CS4 when I drag an effect, I lose that effect from that layer & it is put on the layer I dragged it to only. It will not let me copy it anymore. Is there some key I should be holding down now? I am wondering what else I will be running into with CS4. Maybe that wizard will pop out & yell at me.

Photoshop :: Created Blending Options To Layer?

Mar 23, 2008

I go in blending options and do as he said in "Step 1: Build a Base" but I can't apply my newly created blended options to my layer.

Quote" Once you apply the changes to your rounded rectangle, you will have something that looks like Fig 1-4. "

Can't do that above? My button stays with the original color it was created.

So I have created some text in Photoshop on top of a dark grunge type background, using various blending options. Now I want to change the background of the image, but I want the text to retain its look. Is there some way to freeze the text layer and its blending options so that I can change the background while keeping the text's look the same?

Photoshop :: Specific Colour Post Blending Options

Jul 12, 2013

I am working on a project in which I am trying to a achieve a superhero movie post type effect for tha background. I have a picture of building and a 100% opacity layer entirely painted the colour c5322c. The trouble is when I apply blending options, the red colour on the picture is no longer c5332c. It is absolutely necessary that I have the colour c5322c. Is there any way I can end up with the colour c5322c after using the blending options multiply, linear burn, overlay and vivid light? In other words, what colour do I have to start with on my other layer to achieve a product that has the colour c5322c? If the final result doesn't depend on the background picture (aka the building pictures), is there some sort of formula I can use or play around with the colours and blending options?

Photoshop :: Change/Save Default Blending Options

Aug 26, 2007

I rarely (never) use the default color or stroke size of my blending options so I always have to go through the process of changing those with every layer. There's got to be a better way. I would like to have my blending options default to what I use most so I could simply click stroke and move on.

How do you change/save the default blending options?

I can't seem to master this, it's simple in Indesign, but in Photoshop when I draw a line shape, and then go to stroke / drop shadow it in the layers blending options, it strokes a long rectangle, not a line. I'm doing this to mark off a road path on a map.

Photoshop :: Layer Style Blending Options No Longer Previewing

Feb 8, 2007

For some reason, even though the preview button is checked my blending options for one file aren't showing the changes to my image as I make them. In addition, when I exit the blending options screen, the options I've chosen are automatically greyed out--not visible.

It's only doing this on 1 file.

Illustrator :: No Blending Options In Layers

Jan 3, 2014

I recently upped my opinion of Illustrator and was really impressed with how I could change the appearance in the layers panel.
 
Now unable to find it. Using a mac and CS5.5 when selecting drop down button it is not there any more. Layer options only gives silly basic options like the name of the layer etc. I just don't know what's happened.
 
Created a brushed metal effect and unable to save as graphic style. This layers blending options was excellent and I can't really use much of the program without it.

Photoshop :: Layer Style / Blending Options Applying To All Layers - Drop Shadow Angles

Apr 15, 2013

I am having a problem in CS6 Photoshop where I never experienced this in CS3-5.
 
I am designing a website and when I apply a drop shadow or inner shadow to a layer through layer style/blending options in the layers tab. It applys the same angle etc.. to all the other layers I have done styles too...
 
I will have 5 + layers done with styles and I will make a new layer and give it a shape, open up blending options and when I do a drop shadow and change the angle I literally can see everything on my layout change angles also when I move it around for just ONE layers style... What on earth is going on? This makes it impossible to make unique designs unless I keep flattening my PSD and transfering stuff over which destroys workflow.

Photoshop :: Photoshop Blending Options

Jul 5, 2006

I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and am having some trouble with my Blending Options. When my Blending Options worked, which I am positive they always did, I could click the italic "f" in the little black circle at the bottom left of the layers window and a menu would come up with "Blending Options" at the top of this menu and I could play with options such as "Drop Shadow" and "Inner Shadow" and the list goes on. Now when I click Blending Options in the drop-down menu all I get is a tool bar that comes up near the top of the screen under "File Edit Image Layer..." and it shows up with the hand tool at the left and a few other things as you can see in this picture. Also after I click Blending Options the entire program is rendered inoperable and the only way I can use the program again is by clicking the "ESC" key and in most cases it works.

Photoshop :: Actions Stopped Working After Downloading More Actions

Aug 31, 2004

I downloaded a couple of actions from the web to my actions palette and they worked fine, but then I got greedy and downloaded a few more and that’s when things went south. Now none of the actions work - by not working I mean when I mouse over the Play Selection icon at the bottom of the action palette I get that little circle with a line through it. This happens with the PS default actions as well (I also get the circle on the Stop Playing/Recording and Begin Recording icons).

Somewhere in the following is probably what messed things up.

I downloaded actions to my computer in zip files. Copied them over to the actions folder (or somewhere) and unzipped them. I went back to the actions palette and hit “load actions” and loaded them. On the second set of actions that I downloaded I remember thinking “why am I copying and pasting these files - I bet I should cut and paste them, so I did and that may have been the start of the great crumble of 2004. PhotoShop help says: (under Saving and loading actions) “Actions are automatically saved the the Actions Palette folder in PS7.0 Settings folder. If this file is lost or removed, the actions you created are lost”.

I have searched for the settings folder and couldn’t find it, but the actions still show up on the actions palette - they just don’t run.

I’m a little fuzzy on the details on the above steps. In fact, I probably did something different on each download.

one more thing, I reloaded PhotoShop, but still nothing.

Photoshop :: How To View All Actions In Actions Panel

Nov 24, 2013

My computer crashed and I removed all apps and reinstalled so now none of my actions appear. However I do have a backup file of all of them and want to reinstall but before when I was using cs6 ( Im assuming same thing as CC as it was all on the subscription plan ) I would click actions then the right arrows and it would bring me a big screen of all the actions ( even the ones that were just preloaded in ps ) and it was a big box with all the actions and some options to record etc...Now that box isn't there and it's just a single column drop down menu.
