Fill vs. opacity in the layers panel

I don't understand how the filling works in the layers panel.  I understand how opacity affect the layers but funny, something happens when you use fill to decrease the opacity and then merge layers.  I don't use, but I'm sure he has a special purpose.

Using CS4 on mac

Thanks in advance

Filling will adjust the opacity of only real pixels on a layer. It will not adjust things like the Layer Styles because the pixels are not actually on the layer.

Opacity adjust all of the visible content of a layer

It is quite easy to see the difference...

Make 2 layers. Draw a rectangle on the two layers. Add the layer Style > race for the two rectangles. Adjust a layer to have 50% fill and the other to have 50% opacity.

  • Location of the image next to the layers panel

    psice3.jpgThe image is sized: adjustment on the screen.

    Something I did caused the image to focus on the screen instead of being completely to the left of the layers panel.  The image is moved to the right and I can't see the right side of the image. Previously, adjustment on the screen simply filled the space to the left of the layers panel.

    I closed PS, rebooted etc. Happening to all images. How to reset the default size so that I can see the whole picture when the layers panel is opened. Now, when I open any image, it is smaller as shown which is adapted for the screen; Yet, a part is behind the Panel

  • Is it possible to copy all the layers in the layers panel and paste them in a new document?

    The content of each layer will be different on each document so I don't want to copy. I have 12 documents to be used in a calendar and I want all the layers as well as their names and colors to be the same in each document. I already have all the pages designed and built, but personal information is to be added, and I want each of them to match all the others.

    Basically, all I want to do is to copy the contents of the layers panel and past in each of the other documents.

    I just create a page at the end of the document w / layers and on this page, add an item by layer. Also, if you have 15 layers, drag the small fifteen frames on the page and the layer icon to assign each image to another layer.

    Then in the Pages panel menu, choose move Pages. Choose this 'page of layers' to move to your receiving document (another of your calendar documents), Destination: end of the Document.

    The receiving document will get all the layers. Remove all items (15 views) on the extra page and the layers remain.

    Next time you make a schedule, you should check the add-on for InDesign Calendar Wizard. You will cry all the time you wasted it making manually ;-(

  • Found and lost in the layers of the CC PS 2015 can be selected in the document, not only in the layers panel?

    Seriously, I don't know if it's a FigNewton of my imagination or a real change in the Photoshop workspace, but when I started using PS CC 2015, a few months ago, I found myself moving layers on the screen simply by clicking on it in the document and moving them, instead going to the layers panel , by choosing the correct layer, then return to the document and move the layer or change. Is this a real change or I dream? Especially, if it's an option, I can't do more. He stopped. How do I resurrect it?

    Automatic selection / auto-move has been there for several versions. Check your settings of the tool at the top when you use the move tool.

  • Place in the layers panel

    I used to be able to see the selection tool and layer I was working in InDesign, and now he's disappeared. When I try to move an object to another layer, I can't go in the layers panel and use the selection box to drag because he went to a new layer. Is there a setting to turn this back on?

  • How to copy the name of the track in the layers panel to the center of the path object / in my file HAVE?  Is there a native function or some kinds of scripts that could be done?

    For example, I have a map of the United States.  Each State is a path and was named in the layers panel.  I want now to generate the name of the State in the layers panel is automatically center the text within each State/access path.  Each file will also be saved as an svg once completed.  I want to do this so that it saves me time from having to manually type the name of each State in the State.

    Hi juliannz,

    The layers panel will contain the text only if you have saved the original under a PSD file.

    If it was saved as a jpeg, png, it not the layers.

    Nice day!

    Could you please post a screenshot with the relevant panels visible?

    Not turning off"use graphics processor" in the Performance preference and restarting Photoshop have a bearing on the issue.

  • Image in the layers panel

    When I put an image in PS CS5, in the layers panel, instead of an image of the photo, I get a white image with a brush inside.  How can I get the photo to display image?  Thank you.

    Perhaps the option of the palette.  It uses CC but CS5 options are basically the same.

  • How to select several objects on the layers panel in Illustrator CC

    I have a work of guge and I need to select a small group (about 10-100) of objects from 4000 bunk and then group objects ' em/split-to-layers for ease of use (this is an infographic of the human body for medical institute)

    There IS NO way by selecting in the Web because they are overlapping and sometimes not visible at all.

    in CS5 there was a function to select several objects to the icon selection Alt + click - move on the right in the Layers panel.

    Now the mode duplication towers - on when I try to run it.

    Then.

    Ho I select several object without having to click through thousands of them? (I need to drag-select)

    IM totally frustrated.

    As long there is no deliberately locked object, you can do the following:

    Drag on the lock column in the layer panel

    Object > unlock all (there is a shortcut for this)

    -> unlocked objects are selected

  • Objects not no projection in the layers panel

    Hello

    I use Indesign CS4 on Mac 10.6.8. I have a problem with my layer panel-> it does not show a disclosure triangle, so I can't expand a layer to show its objects. The objects are certainly on the layer - if I click on "Select all the objects on the layer" all objects are selected in fact so, technically, they are on the layer-> I can't see the fall down in the layers panel.

    I tried the simple things like expanding the Audit Committee for lack of fonts (I've read that there are often problems w / Verdana in the layers panel...) to restore settings preference... nothing worked and I could not find an entry unique forum on this issue...

    The file I use is a plug-in to a photo book, however, the layers Panel does not work correctly even if I create a new document in full...

    In Illustrator, it works perfectly, showing all the objects and paths on a layer...

    Thanks a lot for your comments and help!

    When you select an object it must be a square of light color on the right edge of the layer name. Drag on the new layer. Or you can cut and paste in place on the new layer (to paste remembers layers off).

  • You drag an image in the layers panel

    Hello

    In some Photoshop tutorials I've met, the author speaks of "drag an image in the layers panel. For example, there is a picture, let's call him background.jpg on layer1 and which appears in the layers panel. Now you want to open another image, call object1.jpg in order to work on this point, the objective being that object1.jpg should go on layer2, above layer1 in the layers panel.

    Yet when I open object1.jpg, in the layer1 layers panel (which hosts background.jpg) disappeared.

    How can I drag object1.jpg to layer2? In other words, how can I keep my layers panel open - the layers panel that shows layer1 with clutter on it - while working on object1.jpg?

    Thank you

    Oh, it's CS3 and they do not have legs.  Open the two files and arrange the windows so that you can see each of the files.  Then just drag one layer to the other file.
