Change in behavior of the option-click on the layer Photoshop CC - layers now flatten/disappear

I used the option click on layers all the time to perform various tasks. Now, in Photoshop 2014.2.2 CC I can no longer option + click on a layer to copy a layer effect or apply a clipping mask. Instead, as soon as I click on a layer with the option engaged, key all layers disappear / flatten in a "background layer".

What has changed? And how can I now copy effects from one layer to another layer? The documentation says 'drag to the destination layer', but this simply moves the effect from one layer to another, does not copy it. Dragging allows you to copy an effect, but now, any use of the option key flattens all the layers together.

Ehh, that shouldn't happen. I just used this feature in Photoshop CC 2014 and it worked fine. Maybe you should try a reset preference: Hold Cmd + Opt + shift as you start Photoshop start. Select 'Yes' when asked if you want to continue with reset.

  • Opacity and transparency regarding the layer styles lost on rasterize/flatten/merge down (cs6)

    So, I'm working on a project and I do a button and I came across a problem that I don't normally have with that special touch... I don't know why it's happening or how to fix... but it's pretty boring. I wonder if anyone can help or if this is a known bug or something like that!

    So I have three files for three different States and within each folder are several layers, some with layer styles (he seems to be degraded who play here to the top and opacity associated), other styles of layer with no just lowered opacity. I need to flatten each file to create the button sprites. The problem is... I put flat file and it seems to disable the gradient layer of related styles, and whatever it is reduced opacity is tilted up to 100%. I tried to go through and Pixelation delinquency, invidiual layers. The same problem. I tried to create empty layers and merge down the offending layers. The same problem.

    I'm puzzled! Sample images below:

    Screen Shot 2012-10-18 at 2.34.34 PM.png

    This problem is to play with my mojo! Any help is appreciated! (and Yes, my adobe is all patched up and updated day)... I feel that I have to deal with problems flattening of transparency for many versions...

    Yes, I think you ask Photoshop to do something that he cannot do. A layer can have only a blending mode. Or it can have a blend mode, then adding effects with a mix of different modes. When you merge in a single layer, you're going to lose this.

  • mask quick change of behavior?

    Windows 7 Pro 64

    PS CS6 thanks CC2014...

    Lightly scratching my head on this...

    Is there a change in behavior of the quick mask?

    The situation:

    By default the quick mask preferences: color indicates areas masked, 50% opaque red.

    I open a file (background or base layer), I have no active selection and I press Q for QuickMask, or press the quick mask...

    I present QM - "Quick mask" mode in the file tab, my layer in the layers panel goes gray...

    .. but it's no red overlay.

    Yes - I can paint or fill to create one, but in this State QM will use a red full image overlay...

    I'm sure this used to be the case...

    Thoughts please...

    As far as I know or that you remember old versions of photoshop, you always have an active selection before you enter the Quick Mask mode or no overlay is displayed because there is no mask created without a selection active.

    Of course, as you say, it can be created after entering the Quick Mask mode.

  • Photoshop CS5 x 64 crash when changing the layer styles

    Hey there,

    I searched and searched through the entire interweb, but almost no one seems to have never had such a problem, so I think it is the right place to ask and hope to be helped . Short version is: Photoshop CS5 (x 64) is constantly crashing when you change a layer style.

    Recently, I installed my CS5 Design Premium on a new laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook AH351) and I have serious problems with Photoshop CS5. On the first run, everything was fine, and he keep like this for a while. Now every time I try to edit a layer style Photoshop crashes immediately. I did not need to change anything, just open the layer style, press OK and Photoshop has disappeared. I can work around by resetting the preferences that works until the next reboot, no matter if I change anything on the settings or not. Tried this on the initial version of the PS and the last update (12.0.4). Once I have reset settings yet, I can work again on the layer styles. Any of you have a similar problem or an allusion to what I could look at?

    The Lifebook has of a decent feature which I think somehow the culprit in this case: it has an on-board graphics unit and a separate GPU (nVidia GForce GT 525 M) that can be added in on a program basis. Indeed, Photoshop recognizes and allows me to enable the OpenGL functions as well, so from there, it seems. The internal GPU cannot be disabled because connect you your monitors.

    Some data on my system:

    Fujitsu Lifebook AH531

    • Intel® Core™ i5 - 2410M
    • RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz
    • 750 GB SATA HDD 5400 U/Min
    • Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (updated)
    • NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M with 1 GB of VRAM

    Photoshop CS5 x 64

    • no plugins to use/install
    • any settings not changed, not even shortcuts

    Thanks in advance

    WindowBlinds was probably to blame.  It's a bad app that changes the window settings and made generally bad things for the environment of the user interface to achieve a different look.

    There may be more options for things you can do (bad) to Windows, such as the screws of the metric of the display with the software from StarDock, simply because Windows is more popular - but if you don't about frivolous things with your system it can be as clean and steady work as a Mac system , if not better.  Mac have many of their own problems.

  • How to get and set the length and the width of the content of the layer?

    How to get and set the length and the width of the content of the layer

    All layers are packed not equal. a layer as adjustment have no limits. Layer to smart object can have two different sizes. The size of the object and the size of the object may be transformed. All smart object layers have an associated transform. To transform a smart object layers you need to work with the size of the object the generated pixels fot the layer. Text layer can be resized with a transform or by changing the font size. Pixelated layers are resize via a transformation.  The script method is resize.  When you resize the number of pixelsits made by interpolation. You can specify what method to use or set Photoshop interpolation preferably by default.

    There is also a bug in Photoshop scripts if you pause the story said make a selection and use resize. Photoshop will properly support up to a State before where you suspended history. This bug seems to be in all versions of Photoshop.

    If you look ate the script in my bug report, you should get a good idea of how to resize a layer.

  • Passage of objects in the layer of transaction model

    Hello.. my version of jdev is 11.1.1.5.0

    I want to move an object (value pair - key) for model layer (AM) for the transaction in view

    For example: emp = {id: id, name: name}

    And also I want to win back the output back to the view model layer in the same format.

    I have access to the data using callablestatement (cs.getString (1), cs.getString (2), etc. etc.). I don't prefer it because it creates confusion.

    Thank you

    If I were you I would do the following:

    Create a NEW method in the model at the level of the VO layer as you did before. This time the input parameter will be a map. Expose this new method in the client view interfaze. Then in your ViewController layer in your page to expose the method in the layer of links. Now, do the same thing you did with the employee, but this time he just create a HashMap example application map. Get it and you should be able to run without problem.

  • Changed the behavior of the combination SHIFT + click in Editor?

    In versions cc2015 of Photoshop, the checker behaves differently than older versions when I use 'shift-click' to connect the dots. In PS CS6, for example, when I take the SHIFT key, the clone tool in (or cure) continuously from point to point as I click. In the last two versions of Photoshop, this has changed: a click, then shift + click to a new location translates into a 'line', although it is not until the next point clicked, even by pressing the SHIFT key all the time. Instead, the point is considered as the beginning of a second 'line' of healing.

    I hope that makes sense - it's surprisingly complicated to describe such a simple thing. But the effect is really disconcerting - if I'm along a surface of healing, I can't have a continuous 'cure' along a curve, for example.

    Tools brush and Clone Stamp don't show it at all - they behave as expected, click connection points without interruption until the SHIFT key is released. I can't find any preference which may have changed, and I'm using a very simple toolset - without wild brushes or anything like that. Very frustrating!

    How can I get the old behavior back to the Healing Brush tool? What Miss me?

    Thank you

    -running Mac OS X 10.10.5, Photoshop versions cc2015 and cc2015.5 show that (also another machine at work, OS 10.11, PS cc2015.5.1 shows the same behavior)

    I have been informed more in 'PhotoshopFamily' that it is a bug, they sent to engineering to investigate (& difficulty, hopefully!)

    «More tests, I found that this problem goes away * if * the source and the destination are on a layer "background" (e.g., on a flattened image).» But try to 'cure' / clone of a source layer to a layer of different destination (or even the same layer, if not a background layer) product failure in the behavior of the combination SHIFT + click. »

  • Option-click for the clone stamp does not. I've tried several suggested fixes, no results. Help!

    Howdy!

    I searched and found similar questions on the forum and I tried all the solutions proposed, that I could find, but I'm still not resolve this issue. Hoping that maybe someone found a fix!

    The problem is that the option - click to set a point source for the Clone Stamp tool does not work, but the behavior seems to be particularly odd.

    With the Clone Stamp selected, tool if I press the option key pressed, I get the crosshairs target little, which makes me think that Photoshop is the option key is read and is not a recovery program of her clutter. When I then try to use the clone stamp, however, I get the dreaded error message:

    "Could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (option - click to set a point source)."

    I went through all the relevant troubleshooting steps, I could find elsewhere on the forum. I have updated to the latest version of Photoshop and my BONES. I tried to reset the tool. When this does not work, I reset the Photoshop preferences. I have disabled all the other programs that seemed that they might have some sort of overlay keyboard shortcut, but as mentioned, Photoshop DO change the cursor when I press the option key, which makes me think (although I am far from being an expect) is not the issue. I have no plugins or mods or anything of this nature that is installed. It is a completely vanilla installation.

    I am under Photoshop CC 2015.1.2 20160113.r.355 x 64.  My OS is El Capitan 10.11.2.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. As far as I know, there is no work around. This tool is dead in the water for me until I can sort this out.

    Thank you!

    P.S. If this is quite in the wrong place to post a question like that, I'm sorry. I would like to know where I lead and I'll be on my way!

    I have to admit, I'm puzzled. Everything seems as it should. The tool has been reset, preferences reset and the layer looks very good. I wonder if it is a question with El Capitan. I use Windows, but know that Photoshop has had problems when El Capitan came out. If you have not used the clone 6 months stamp then it would have been pre - El Capitan. Have you tried completely uninstalling Photoshop, restart the computer and reinstall?

    I have not followed the El Capitan saga, you can read about it here

    As a last resort, you can try going back to Yosemite.

  • Remove the change in behavior from iPhoto

    In iPhoto, pressing the DELETE key on picture deleted the photo from the album. In the Photos app, it deletes the actual photo. I'm not sure that understand the advantage of this change in behavior. Makes it much more difficult to make a choice of photos by albums. Comments submitted. This must change, back in my opinion, unless someone can explain to me the advantage of this new behavior.

    NO.

    choosing a photo in an album delete and pressing user removes only the photo album of the user (in some of the supplies system smart albums it's different since you cannot delete a photos in a smart album in Photos or iPhoto except by changing the criteria for the smart album that is not possible for the system smart albums)-command remove it will remove photos in the recently deleted album

    Don't forget you have system smart albums user albums (as the last import, all photos, videos, etc.) and the smart albums of the user - each works differently

    You can also right click on photo and select Delete album

    Hi josymar_guzman,

    I just review the sequence and indeed we´re experience unexpected behavior with the Step.ResultRecordingOption callback. By a reason when you run the callback in the expression before each step section, the statement runs only until the next sequence is called, which is not what we want.

    To avoid this, you can place a statement before each step of the sequence, so you can change the State of the Option "record result" for the sequence running (and it is only the following). You can try something like this

    where the expression of the statement will be the recall "RunState.NextStep.ResultRecordingOption is YourCondition". With this, we guarantee that the results of the next step will be saved or not. I also remove the expression in the expression prior to each step section, because the condition is now on the statement before each step.

    I tried and it works fine. I´ll set the sequence that you share with me, with the changes. I hope this will help you and solve your problem.
