Photoshop Elements 9 - cannot use the brush in the adjustment layer

Hello

I am new to Adobe Photoshop Elements and have recently purchased Elements 9. I have problems with the brush in the levels of adjustment.

I opened a RAW image and converted to black and white to desaturate using an adjustment layer. I then try to adjust the black and white image using several levels of adjustment. I use the brush to hide parts of the image in the particular adjustment layer I don't want to change. It worked at first, but for some reason, the brush stopped working in adjustment layers. It's a soft brush the 300px value, mode is 'Normal' and the opacity is 100%. In other words, is not obliterate anything in the layer, or whatever it is appears in the thumbnail of the rightmost (these two things happened before)

The brush works normally when you adjust an image with no level i.e. When you simply open a RAW or TIFF file and use the brush.

I tried to uninstall the program and reinstall it, but the problem persists.

Can anyone offer any help? It's frustrating because I can't adjust my image selectively. I do something wrong, it is a bug, or is it just a simple matter of checking a simple box somewhere in the pre-series?

Hoping someone can help.

Make sure you have your brush set to black (foreground in black color)

and that makes your painting on the layer mask (click on the layer mask

to make it active).

Try just paint on the mask of your adjustment layer to desaturate the photo

with a black brush (color to come back)

Sometimes with several adjustment layers, strokes on a layer mask can overlap

the strokes on the other.

If you want more control over a black and white conversion, you can try something like

What follows.

1. Add a hue\saturation adjustment layer and change the layer blending mode to color

2. Add another layer of setting hue\saturation and move the saturation to-100

3. on the first adjustment layer (the one with the color blending mode), move the hue

and saturation for different effects, black and white cursors.

4. If you want to add a color tint, set the hue\saturation albums layer colouring and

Adjust the sliders hue and saturation for effects of different hue.

  • PS elements 11 cannot use the text function. Error message could not initialize the text.

    When I try to use the text function the letters do not appear. Text feature appears frozen. Get the error message - unable to initialize the text.

    Recently PSE11 uninstalled and reinstalled. Downloaded 2 Google font. Was able to use the text function with Google fonts with no problems. Two days later, attempted to work with the text function and the typed letters appear on the screen/layer. Tried to add the text with fonts pre-installed PS - still once, no text appeared. Impossible to set up a text box. How can I fix it? Thank you

    Suggest that you reset the text tool, that only he can fix.

    I believe in PSEv.11, there is a small arrow, top of the page to the left on the tool options bar. Click on this.

    If the arrow is not there, look in the options bar to the text tool, on the right, for a box with lines inside. Adobe changed the location and icon in later versions of the program.

  • Photoshop CC 2015 - question for the adjustment layer curves

    Hello

    For some reason any, as I'm checking the black point of the image, it turns completely white. The only way to return to normal is to choose the default option from the preset menu.

    When you do the same thing with the white point, it works OK, as usual.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    "Doesn't seem very unlikely but: does turn off ' use graphics processor" in the Performance preference and restarting Photoshop have a bearing on the question?

    Otherwise, I can't offer any advice better than going but the usual routines of troubleshooting, start by restore preferences after checking all the presets custom actions, patterns, brushes etc. have been recorded:

  • Cannot use the "environment layer." Selection of out ghosts

    I am creating a layer of environment in a project I'm working on that. I bring in a picture, but every time I try to use it as environment layer selection is ghost out. This happens reliable regardless of what type of image that I use, if it is précomposé, etc. There is nothing in any documentation or a tutorial, I can find to explain this. Does anyone have any idea why this could be implemented?

    Thank you!

  • Crossfade of the white frame to the adjustment layer doesn't work more in 2014 CC

    Windows 7, first Pro CC 2014

    I have a video clip in a sequence, nested on a layer of setting on the V2 and V1.

    I want to dissolve a white frame on the clip using the adjustment layer.

    In CC PP (not 2014), it was simple:

    Beginning with a white PNG on V2, melted chained to the adjustment layer.

    However, in PP CC 2014, this causes a fade to BLACK for the duration to dissolve, then a CUT to video.

    This behavior in 2014 CC is illogical. Why has it changed?

    There are other ways to do this, but it was quick and easy and is required for hundreds of clips in existing scripts / projects.

  • Failed to create a mask on the adjustment layer

    Hello.

    I want to apply motion tracking to mask data, that is why I am trying to use an adjustment layer to control the position of the mask. So I followed him motion on a video montage, applied to the adjustment layer, then marked tracking data the adjustment layer and drew a mask closed on it. However, when I finished the mask, he don't "cut the hole" on the video sequence (which is directly under the adjustment layer). I tried all available modes (Add, Subtract, Intersect etc), but only the contours of the shape of the mask are visible on the video footage.

    How can I apply a mask of an adjustment layer? Or maybe there are other methods to apply the query to a mask tracking data?

    Thank you

    Adjustment layers are applied not necessarily affect alpha channels. You could simply cut the adjustment layer and then use the adjustment layer has a matte.

  • Cannot add other changes by using the adjustment brush in Lightroom 5.

    Use Lightroom 5 - when I go to a previously published picture to do more to change by using the adjustment brush, I opened the effect I want to use (Dodge, for example), but all of the sliders are inoperative. The word "Dodge (Edited)" appears in the header of effects. This is why I can not make any further changes to the image. I open the drop down menu effects and ticked 'restore default presets', but nothing helped. All welcome solutions.

    Make sure that the flow and the density are not set to 0 or another low value. Try setting the two to 100.

  • Lightroom CC gel when you use the adjustment brush

    I recently discovered the power of the adjustment brush for Dodge & burn my RAW photos. I am progressing through a photo editing however, my Mac gets slower and hangs with the beach ball. I upgraded my RAM from 8 to 16 GB and updated from a disk to a 1 TB SSD HARD 750Gig, but it always crashes when I get into an editing tool. My computer is a MacBook Pro 13 "(mi-2012), processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB." In the Lightroom preferences, running, I get an error message when I click use GPU: "acceleration of the graphics processor has been disabled due to errors. Everyone knows about this problem? It drives me crazy. Surely I don't have to buy a new, more powerful Mac just to use the adjustment brush properly?

    This slowdown/gel is a known problem with make a lot of adjustments and/or healing spot on a single photo.

    There are a number of possible remedies

    1. Get a faster CPU (speed of the car and the amount of memory and power of the graphics card will not affect this problem)
