• position of the layer style effects - photoshop CC 2015

  Hello everyone, I can't for the life of move me the position of layer style effects (upwards or downwards), the keys are locked. What is missing to me?

  

  I need to have the layering of colors under the inlay pattern, but when I try to click on the arrow on the bottom buttons, I get:

  

  its driving me crazy because I feel like when you lose you key in your house ad you know sound in the most obvious, place just to look at you and laugh, but you can't seem to find anything.

  Don't know what you are trying to do, but the arrows you see are for if you duplicate styles, then you can change the order of this specific style set... ?

  What are you actually trying to do?

• Background layer unlocks and becomes the normal "no flat" layer after using the crop tool in PS CC 2015.1 (a different behavior for older versions of PS)

  Hi all

  I found that it is more difficult to explain than I thought

  I don't like the new behavior in the latest version of Photoshop (CC 2015.1) regarding the way in which the background layers automatically unlock and convert to regular layers after using the crop tool. It's completely different to how things worked in previous versions, where a background layer remained in locked state flattened after using the crop tool.

  I get a LOT of images and this change has added an extra step to each image that I harvest, because I flatten the layers after cropping before saving the image. I looked through the preferences but cannot find a way to change this new behavior. Am I missing something?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  See if checking Delete the cropped Pixels in the tool options makes a difference.

  

• Opacity of the layer mask Photoshop in AE

  I have a series of PSD files each with a layer mask with a default opacity of 100%. PS, I change the 'density' of the layer of about 15% in order to achieve the desired result. Either way, the layer mask is also an inactive Alpha channel.

  My question is that when I include the series of the PSD AE as-is, the layer mask is available as a black. It doesn't seem to be a way adjust the density of the mask as in Photoshop. I tried to use an alpha channel and track matte, but no luck. The main PSD file has the default active layer apparently mask with no way to change it.

  Maybe I'll have to put in place an action on PSD files?

  Thank you.

  

  AE is not layer masks as separate channels, it uses only the calculated pixel opacity. Simply, you cannot use this method. Rasterize your stuff to separate the layers.

• How to use the same mask, stencil, etc for several layers? Photoshop equivalent of the masked group?

  Hi I spent over half an hour for search manual, forums and the Internet and still can't find the answer. Help, please!

  For example, in a model with 5 or more layers, I want to use the same mask or stencil or what can hide layers 2,3 and 4 but areas layer 5 and all other possible layers below should not be affected.

  1. Before dialing the layers that you want to hide and apply a matte for the demo using the mask. Think to the Dial as an equivalent to the creation of a layer group.
  2. Use the effect on each layer you want to hide. It's easier to do if you apply mast set once and then create an animation preset to apply to the other layers. Just get mast set to do what you want it to do on the first layer, select Set Matte in ECW or in the timeline panel, and then go to the Animation > Save animation preset. Select then all other layers you want to apply the set matte to apply the preset.
  3. Put the mask at the bottom of the layers that you want to hide and turn on the switch to preserve transparency, then this group in composition with other layers of nesting.

  Here's another tip. You can set a custom color for all the layers you want to use the mast, then use the custom color for a group selection. This can make things easier down the line.

• How can I change the opacity of the layer mask?

  HI -.

  
  

  I used a layer mask to hide portions of a picture.

  Now I need to leave this hidden part of show at, say, 50% opacity (I'll have to experiment to find the optimal percentage.).

  I'd like to screw up the layer mask and start on another.  Already, I thought I could duplicate the masked layer, remove the mask on the copy and set its opacity to 50% but now I have 2 layers.  I suspect that there is a way to do without a double layer.

  Is it possible to adjust the opacity of the layer mask?

  TIA your entry

  Have you tried to use the controls in the masks palette?

  You control the opacity of the area exposed with the opacity of the layer and the density of the hidden box with the density on the masks palette slider.

• Change the layer mask: Alt + Shift + click does not work?

  I have PES 9 w/Mac OS X.  According to Adobe using for layer masks, "to display the mask in a mask color red, hold down the Alt + Shift and click on the thumbnail of the layer mask".  It is also stated by Missing Manual for elements.  I can't get this to work and can display the mask only in itself (in black and white).  I have uninstalled/reinstalled without success.  In other words, when I change the mask, I don't see where I'm editing.  Can someone help me?

  Exit the editor, then go in your username > library > Preferences and delete:

  Repair permissions, and then try again.

• Not able to install Action PS of the oil painting in Photoshop CC 2015 64-bit

  I just bought the oil paint PS Action modules and I am not able to install it in Photoshop.

  I use Windows and I have the latest version of Photoshop CC 2015 64-bit

  When I try to install Action PS to paint in oil with Adobe Extension Manager, I got an error message.

  Can you help me please!

  I suspect that your problem is that the installer of the action is not compatible with Photoshop CC2015. Modern versions of Photoshop do not use the old Extension Manager and so if the developer has not updated their actions, you will not be able to use them. I tried to find your action but it seems around a bit, but it seemed likely

  If you look at the bottom of the page it says this isn't CC2014, 2015 compatible.

  

• I have a problem with the new version of Photoshop CC 2015

  Hello

  I just installed the new version of Photoshop CC 2015. However I have proplem with this version. If I optimize the program, I will not be able to use all the tools, because everything is great, I don't have the problem with the old version.

  I hope for a solution...

  Go to Preferences > Interface > user interface scaling and see if 200% is checked.

  If so, uncheck the box and see if that fixes the problem.

• Why apply the layer mask is grayed out?

  Hello

  From time to time 'apply the layer mask' is not available.

  What I checked myself:

  -Photoshop is not in master view (abbreviation Q).

  -J' have reset all warning dialog boxes (since it is a way to get a mask by dragging it to the trash).

  Can't get to work!

  Other solutions? Thank you!

  

  I found myself - the layer was a dynamic object. Perhaps I should suggest Adobe to let Photoshop ask pixelation during application, instead of just greyin'out.

• How to use the railways imported from Photoshop/Illustrator as guides of movement

  Hi people,

  I was raking the internet unsuccessfully for an answer to my question, but I had no luck so far.

  I hope realize animation wise is to have a form to move a path together created in Photoshop. The reason is, it is a very specific form (close enough a square but with curved corners and a piece missing on one side), and I used the path feature in Photoshop to create and the path for the smoothest possible effect of race. What I would ideally like to, it's the same way I used to create the shape in Flash Professional CS6 and then use this same path to guide a small symbol on the perimeter of the place of import.

  So far, I worked on how to apply the movement to a symbol through interpolations of base, then I can draw a line with the pencil tool and which apply to the interpolation it follow the trace in pencil instead of just get from point A to point B. The problem is, it's horrible... I'm not good enough with a mouse to create absolutely perfect freehand shapes, so I just want to be able to use the path of Photoshop as my guide of movement instead of having to make a new one from scratch.

  I looked around many import methods, the greatest success I have had is export paths to Illustrator file, and then import the Illustrator file into Flash directly. However, I have NO idea where these paths to go when they are imported, or how to access. If I import them to the scene, they apparently disappear before I've even seen them, and if I import them into the library that they just aren't there.

  I could also make a brief description of the operation of railways in Flash - me are familiar with the presentation of Photoshop, what with the paths that appear in a panel beside the layers one (perfect me seems logical, because you can simply switch between the two panels to see what you want). I do not understand how they work in Flash and what should I look for...

  Thank you very much in advance for any help!

  I just did a quick test to see what the problem might be. It seems that import a schema from Photoshop into Flash converted to a movieClip. If I have to break the movieClip I just get a fill without line. Unfortunately, this fill will not work as a guide. I could use the tool in Flash pen and draw a new line in a new layer, but that's what you try to avoid having to do.

  If I take a path in a Photoshop file saved in Illustrator, I can fondle then the path and then save as .ai file. So I can import into Flash. This any path is recognized as an online Flash and will work as a path. You may need to do a cleaning of the line. My quick example were too many points inside.

  The guide should be done in one line item in Flash. A movieClip cannot be a pathname. Most often, the path is taken directly from the State with the pencil tool.

• Restore to 'apply the layer mask' OPTION?

  There is a new feature where you can drag a layer to the trash and NOT invited mask to "apply the layer mask?  This also has the 'do' don't show again option - which I clicked by accident. Thus, the default is now to apply the layer mask when I drag a layer mask to the trash. I can't imagine a way to restore the more traditional function, without restoring all other prefs.

  So what I would like is a way to restore the default classic where dragging a layer mask to trash the opportunity to apply or ignore them.

  Please excuse this apparently insgnificant request, but it is a very common function I would like to restore.

  Thank you!

  See if clicking Reset all dialogs warning at the bottom of Photoshop > Preferences > general solves the problem.
