Blending modes within several compositions embedded layer - please help?

I have a main composition that contains multiple embedded compositions.  Fairly typical workflow.

Let's say that the main composition is called 'main_comp' and one of my embedded compositions is called "comp_A".

In comp_A, I have a solid layer of black with a lensflare effect applied.  I have this set to 'Add' blend mode layer, so that all the black pixels are ignored.  This allows all images under this lensflare layer to show through.  This set works very well in comp_A.

I integrate comp_A into my main_comp.  The 'Add' on my lensflare layer blending mode displays more correctly once inside main_comp.  The layer makes it totally opaque block anything in the main_comp below.

I hope that makes sense.  If someone has the time to help, I can provide more information if necessary.  Thanks in advance.

Press the "collapse of transformations/continuously Rasterize" for comp_A in your main comp - who could do.

  • black screen with cursor, no safe mode, tried everything, need new ideas, please help!

    Windows Vista premium, boots to black screen edition. freezes on crcdisk.sys when you try to start in safe mode. now online and answer all possible solutions, I tried.  many points of view, no response!

    Hello brent383,

    1. don't you make changes to the computer before having this problem?

    Black screen problems are usually caused by display drivers does not not or the material does not.

    You can try the methods below to resolve this issue.

    Method 1:

    Try to start the computer in mode low resolution, as this may be caused if the graphics card is unable to load the drivers.

    a. restart your computer if it is running.

    b. press the F8 key after your computer powers initially.

    c. Once you see the menu Options Advanced, boot you can stop tapping.

    d. use the up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.

    e. Select the low resolution mode.

    You may need to install the drivers for the graphics card if it works very well in this mode.

    Method 2:

    Because safe mode gets stuck on crcdisk.sys, it seems to me that the problem may be related to the hard drive. I suggest that you run chkdsk on your computer.

    You should try running a Chkdsk on your computer to check if there are bad sectors on the hard disk.

    a. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive, and then restart your computer from the DVD.

    Note: when you receive the press quickly press any key to boot from the CD or DVD, press any key on the keyboard to restart your computer by using the Windows Vista DVD.

    b. Select your language setting, and then click Next.

    c. Select repair your computer.

    d. Select the installation of Windows Vista to be repaired, and then click Next.

    e. under System Recovery Options, select command prompt and type:

    CHKDSK [drive:] [/ p] | [/ r]

    [drive:] Specifies the drive to check.

    / p check even if the drive is not marked dirty, bad.

    /r locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies / p).

  • Cannot configure the fields to fill in Mode "to prepare the form." Please help :)

    Hello Adobe community.

    Here is a video link to explain my problem, there is also some text below explaining my problem too:

    Questions of implementation of the fields to fill in Adobe Acrobat.webm - Google Drive

    Last week I published a PDF file in Acrobat and added to fill fields... everything worked very well.

    This week, I'm doing the same thing.

    -J' open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat (CC)

    -I'm going to "prepare the form."

    -J' I 'add a text field.

    * Now at this stage, everything worked fine. But now... I add the text field and I can't change it at all. I can't resize the text box, select it, nothing. I can even add a default in its properties, and nothing will be displayed. What is going on? I tried troubleshooting this online and I can't find an answer. In addition, I just did this last week, so I know it's possible lol.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    It is a strange...

    First of all, thanks for the video, it's so much easier to understand what is happening when I see how things do not work.

    From what I see, I guess that it is something that is specific to this particular document. Have you tried to add form fields to a whole new document? You can do by ensuring that no other document is open in Acrobat, then Cmd-Shift-T to create a new document with a blank page in it. Now select Tools > prepared form - because this is a new document that was never recorded, Acrobat invites you to save it. Once registered, try to add a form field. It work? The form field is the way that you expect it to behave?

    If this isn't the case, then it is very likely that there is something wrong with the installation of Acrobat. The first thing I would try is to select help > check updates, make sure that you are running the latest version of Acrobat DC. If this does not help, I uninstall Acrobat and install again a new download. You can download Acrobat here: download Pro or Standard versions of Acrobat DC, XI or X

    If the problem is specific to your document, we will know why this is. It is possible that the document is corrupt. There are several ways you can try to recover from some alterations: the first thing I would try is to do a "save under" to save a new file name. Does it work or you get an error message? If you can save as a new file, the new file shows the same problems? If so, then try to extract just one page in a new document. To do this, open the thumbnail on the left, then select the page, right-click and select Extract page. This sill to create a new document with just one page in there, save it and try again.

    If you are still not able to add form fields that behave properly, it gets a bit more complex. How was the file created? Application used to create the original file and what application was used to save the file as a PDF file? Would you be able to share this file?

  • Keyboard shortcuts do not work after changing the blending mode to a layer

    There is a strange bug that I experienced with photoshop. Whenever I change the blending mode to a layer (for example by selecting "Multiply" in the menu drop-down blending mode), my keyboard shortcuts stop working until I have click on the canvas again. It's annoying because often, I'll be on the Brush tool and I did draw on the canvas and press ctrl + z to re - activate keyboard shortcuts. I'm curious to know if this problem occurs to someone else and if anyone has found a solution for this.

    Version of Photoshop: 20150722r.168 x 64

    Operating system: Windows 10

    It happens on Windows, because the drop-down list with blend modes remains highlighted or active (around the blue line). You can press ENTER to confirm and delete the highest point around blend mode dropdown or use keyboard shortcuts to change the layer blending mode. To change the layer blend mode, you must have selected layer and then press Shift + Alt + letter for the blend mode. This shortcut does not work in the case where the tool you are using have mode option in the blending Options bar.

  • Hue Blend Mode Confusion

    Hello

    Read on the blend mode of hue, I understand (perhaps wrongly) that, given two layers (T) op and (B) ottom, if the Mode of T mixture has Hue, then the information of hue in T will be mixed with the saturation and brightness in B, which means that the information of hue in B are replaced by information of hue in T. However, by running a series of experiments, I have noticed that when dealing with a very simple document consisting of two layers only, that affecting the tint also blending Mode changes the saturation and brightness.

    Here are the steps to replicate the phenomena observed using two regular layers:

    1. Create a new blank document.
    2. Fill it with the color that corresponds to the values (0, 70, 50) HSB.
    3. Add a new layer above the existing (Normal blending mode).
    4. Fill the top layer with the color that corresponds to the HSB (230, 70, 50) values.
    5. Use the Panel information, TSL values for the document he read (230, 70, 50).
    6. Change the blending Mode of the top layer of the hue.
    7. Use the Info Panel, the TSL values for the document should read (230, 70, 50), but rather to read (230, 66, 53).

    And here are the steps to reproduce the observed phenomena using a normal layer and an adjustment layer:

    1. Create a new blank document.
    2. Fill it with the color that corresponds to the values (0, 70, 50) HSB.
    3. Add a Hue/Saturation (Normal blending mode) adjustment layer.
    4. Adjust the value of shade in the properties panel for the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer at-130.
    5. Use the Panel information, TSL values for the document he read (230, 70, 50).
    6. Change the blending Mode of the Hue/Saturation layer to be dyed.
    7. Use the Info Panel, the TSL values for the document should read (230, 70, 50), but rather to read (230, 66, 53).

    The results in both (for me) are identical. Am I misunderstood the blend mode of hue?

    Thank you

    The mixture goes in a model STL.

    You make measurements in a model STL.

    In addition, change the hue by preserving the brightness and saturation sometimes would result in illegal values - and those who have to be cut back to valid values (while preserving hue).  This will result in changes in brightness or saturation.

  • Please help, somehow I lost my main composition layer window to preview

    Hi, this is probably the easiest problem to solve, but I didn't chance after several hours. Situation: I have a Setup dual monitor and I was working on AE with my preview window for my main composition on my secondary monitor.

But, when I open AE I noticed that the preview of main composition window had disappeared and I can't locate.  I tried reassigning a new layer in the composition window, but when all the layers open composition, it won't let me see the preview of the full model, only previews of individual layer.  Please help, I have deadline and it is a problem.

  • Has anyone ever met a strange behavior layer blend modes?

    I use a little photoshop for retouching and photo compositing. Tonight, I met a strange problem. I tried create a vintage photo look and had a number of adjustment layers, including a curves, levels, fill color and there was also that some layers of texture and noise all the value of the different opacities. To the top of all of this I had a layer of tile that was black on the edges and white in the Center, on the mode of multiplication of mixture. Well, when I was clicking on and turned off, I realize that this layer of the tile was certainly lighten the central part of the whole image a little (the part which is white on the layer of the tile), almost like a screen. So I hit the thumbnail by different modes of opacity layer and saw that there was no change in his behavior, each mode has screening white, darker color and multiply. I thought that perhaps he was interacting in a weird way with an other diapers so I have not disabled all the others except the back ground - still no change. Then I dropped the layer to the bottom of the after another until it was less than the background. When I started back up again, he behaved normally for a while until that I moved it to the top of some levels in the stacking order, and then he returned to the behavior of the screen. Anyway, I mixed it autour a bit but there was no thick when it would appear correct opacity and when he wouldn't, so it doesn't seem to be any specific layer interaction. I don't know, but I don't see really no case where white multiply together should produce a lighter result even if it were interacting with a different opacity. In any case it seems to me that there is something to do with the overall calculation of the opacities. I tried to create a new layer black and white and it was also do the same, strange behavior and do not correct opacity.

    I'm tired, so I'm going to bed. I'll turn off the computer and hope it goes further when I reboot, but if it isn't, doesn't that sound familiar to anyone? I'm not a regular visitor to this forum, but I thought I'd put it out there in case someone else has experienced something like this. I did that 5 gigabytes of ram on this computer and I worked there for a while... maybe that photoshop could not keep just up (?) I use Photoshop CS5, space colorimetric RGB Adobe 1998.  I never had something like this happen in the past eleven years, I've been using photoshop. Hmmm... hope I don't have to reinstall or call support or worse. I cross my fingers.

    The layer is in a group of layers have an other than to pass through blending Mode?

  • Layer masks and blending modes

    I read on the layer blending modes in Photoshop CS6: The Missing Manual, p.121.  They talk about setting exposure using the blending modes, and they show how to darken an image by using the following procedure.  (1) activate a layer, (2) create a mask of levels, (3) the blending mode of the layer to multiply the value.

    My impression is that blending modes change how the pixels on one level interact with the pixels on the next lower level; that is, it implies there are at least two layers of the image.  So I'm not surprised that if I have a single layer without a mask and I change the blending mode from normal to multiply, it is without effect, probably because there is no immediately lower level to allow interaction.  However, if I have a single layer and create a layer mask, then changing the blending mode from normal to multiply darken the image.  That must involve the pixels of the layer are interacting with transparent pixels on the mask.  What?

    Can someone explain what is happening in reality not here?

    Use layer blending modes, you need to the two layers less.

    As you mentioned above:

    '(1) activate a layer, (2) create a mask of levels, (3) the blending mode of the layer to multiply the value'

    step 2 means create a levels adjustment layer that comes with a default mask if you want to make local adjustments.

    in this case, if you have a layer and add an adjustment layer, it works as if you duplicate the layer.

  • New modes of export - exporting not through target buttons-layer blend modes

    This can be corrected. I do not know?

    Basically when I feature layer 'button target' application of a blending mode to the layer it does not export the blending mode correctly. that is flat/normal.

    I can get around this by applying the 'normal' mode of return to the mixing layer and apply the blend mode to individual objects, but is not ideal for my workflow. I can also get around this by using the 'save for web' option to legacy but again, not ideal for the workflow.

    Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Blend modes does nothing when I select on them. How can I get these to work when a layer is activated. ?

    I don't really see your layer panel, but your image, looks like you are trying to mix a layer against the background transparent. You need two layers of mixture. It does not work against a transparent BG.

  • How can I copy a layer but have the blend mode reset to normal?

    I'll try and this word as well as I can lol. I edited a layer with a blending mode and you want to copy the layer but have the blend mode of the layer to return to normal so that I can edit it again with a different blending mode.

    Does anyone know how can I achieve this? Any help would be appreciated!

    I don't know what you have in mind, but if I understand your goal, try this:

    On a given layer, add a blend Mode of your choice

    Then add an adjustment layer (say, curves), but do not alter the curve. Simply choose the mask and apply a different blending Mode.
