Photoshop :: Turn Off Background Lock Default

Aug 13, 2012

An opened image is always locked. And if you want to do something you need to get rid of the lock. And yes, there are workarounds to do that.  Can you add a preference option to turn off the backround lock default.
 
Rather than having to add a mask, why not also have a any new layer to automatically have a mask. Its a small step, but its something we do alot.   All layers should have blank masks associated to them.

3ds Max :: How To Lock Zoom For Viewport Background

Oct 26, 2013

I'm looking up what to do on digital tutors.   It shows how to add blueprints to the viewport background and have it locked in via bitmap so that you don't need to use planes.  I was doing fine following the instructons until it showed a button to lock the zoom/pan into place so that the image won't remain a constant size even if you zoom in and out.   I can't find it on my '14 version, and where it is placed so that I can finish setting up my blueprints.

Photoshop :: Partially Locked Layer But No Icon Highlighted Under Lock

Jul 7, 2013

1. I try to use any auto correction such as tone, and nothing appears to change

2. I see the small layers 'background' icon flashing as I do this into the black and white check pattern

3. It seems that the layer background is partially locked- (when I scroll my mouse over the 'lock' icon this is written)

Yet there is no icon above in 'lock' that is highlighted. So I cannot unlock it.I am able to adjust in all other methods which are not auto corrections. Perhaps I changed some settings accidentally?

AutoCad :: How To Lock The Layer

Jun 10, 2012

I am in 2D mode in autocad, drawing a plan. I have locked one layer and also increased the translucency, jet my snaps still respond to the objects in this layer, where all I want to do is keep it as an underlay while I draw the rest of the things. The objects within this locked layer are also selectable, they come up with doted lines once selected, but I can't edit or move them, because the layer is is locked.

Is there a way to lock the layer, so that it is completely ignored by snaps and selection, jet kept visible with little transparency?

I am using AutoCad 2013, and there are only blocks within this layer.

Is this a Bug?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Lock Current Layer - Turning On / Off

Apr 9, 2012

Is there a way to lock the current layer (to say layer 0) so that is STAYS the current layer regardless of my isolating, turning layers on and off etc?

Really annoying to keep getting those "Are you sure you want to turn off the current layer" messages and it would prevent me from either drawing thing on a layer I don't intend to, or drawing on a layer which is off (which confuses me every time).

Illustrator :: How To Toggle Layer Lock / Visibility In CS6

Jun 16, 2012

How to toggle the layer lock/visibility in CS6 than in the earlier versions.

It seems that there's more padding around the lock/visibility icon, and you have to be really precise to click it... increasing the row size doesn't really make any difference, as the "padding" is still there. Wheres in the earlier versions clicking anywhere within the toggle box would enable/disable it.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Conditional Layer Lock And Readonly?

Apr 8, 2012

We are using AutoCad 2012. Our company have more than 32 disciplines. For any projects the drawings are prepared with many disciplines. Civil does the civil drawing portions, water does the water pipeline portion, electrical does the electrical cable layout portions etc. etc. Each departments have their own set of layers in the drawing.

Now the problem is civil can accidentally modify the entities of electrical departments / utility departments. Though we lock the other disciplines layers programmetrically, but user can unlock the other disciplines layers easily if he wish to. Can we make those other disciplines layers read only? So that users can draw / modify in his own discipline layers but can not do that in other disciplines layer. But he can refer those layers / copy entities from those layers if he wish to? Some sort of xref type of thing is required, but we can not use xrefs as we work in a single drawing and our custom drawing management system is integrated with this type of file system accross the offices.

Photoshop :: Adding Layer And Part Of Layer Blend Into Background

Jun 2, 2013

this is my problem:
 
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.
 
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:
 
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?

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer Or Background Layer?

Mar 31, 2006

When you open an image with adjustment layers, what determines what is selected, the background or the adjustment layer? It seems sometimes it's one or the other, and I don't know the logic. Personally I would prefer that the image always opens with the background layer selected.

Photoshop :: How To Add Layer From Background

Aug 26, 2012

how do you add to a layer from another layer, for instance, the background?
 
There are TONS of explanations for how to take away from a layer or create a new layer (layer mask) but nothing on how to add to a layer once it's already made. I made this layer with the magic wand tool and now I simply need to add little bits in to the layer that the magic wand missed.

Photoshop :: How To Reveal Background Layer Through Cut Out

Apr 14, 2012

How can I cut out a shape from my PS image to expose the background layer?  I will "Save for Web" with a transparent background. The shape will be a rectangle, and a text layer will later be added to display within the rectangle.
 
My goal is to use the PS image as part of a Web page, allowing the Web page background to show through the rectangle which surrounds the text. Hope this explanation makes sense.

Photoshop :: Background Covers 1st Layer?

Aug 28, 2012

Level: Newbie'ish    OS: Win7 64bit    PS:CS6
 
I am just curious about the following...
 
 Below is the layers panel with the BG layer OFF and the picture below it shows how my image looks when the BG is OFF.
 
 Now here is the layers panel with the BG layer ON and here's my image when the BG layer is ON
  
I am a bit confused as to why the white BG is covering the 1st layer above it ... isn't the BG layer suppose to Always be Behind the 1st layer? Both BG layers are locked and in the same Z order ....
 
So, I'm just wondering why this is happening.

Photoshop :: Can't Get Rid Of White Background Layer

Jun 7, 2011

A friend had an image created, of a star, and cannot get hold of the person who created it. She's asked me but i have a problem, how to remove the background so you just have the star so that you can layer it on another background? I tried this a few weeks ago, changed it onto a transparent layer. Weird thing is when you put it onto another background, the transparent layer suddenly changes to a white background!

Photoshop :: EPS Opens On Background Layer?

Jul 9, 2012

Here's my problem:
 
I get eps files that i have to post to a website. I open the files in Photoshop, and they open on 1 layer, a Background later, that has a white background. However when I drop them into a PPT or Word doc, they are indeed transparent.
 
When I open the EPS's in Illustrator, they are transparent. When I re-save the EPS in Illustrator as an Illustrator EPS, and then open that file in Photoshop, it opens on "Layer 1" and is transparent.
 
Why are these EPS's opening on a background later to begin with?

Photoshop :: How To Handle Background Layer

Jun 15, 2012

For editing a  jpeg file (e.g., sharpening), first I create a duplicate layer.  Now, I have two layers: Layer 1 and Background layers.   Editing is done only on the duplicate layer. That's how I am able to keep the original jpeg file.   When editing is completed on Layer 1, I got to save the edited image.   Before saving it, what should I do with the Background layer?  Should I delete it or merge/flatten with Layer 1?
