• do not appear the background layer

  Hello, when I give to merge the layers do not appear the background layer, and when I go to check jpg indicates that the layers are decoupled. Thanks advanced

  Javier,

  I'll assume that you don't want your layers and want to generate a 'flat' file a JPEG image, for example. For sharing, download, print, etc.

  Can you save a copy 'flattened '?    File > SAVE as.     In unrolling choose JPEG. -It uses by default saves a copy so that you keep your PSD layered in case you have future adjustments where the layers would be beneficial.

  

  I hope this helps.

• Why duplicate the background layer sometimes creates a layer named "Background copy" and other times "Layer 1"?

  I write an action that begins by copying the layer background twice, but action is hindering because he is looking for "Background copy" but the Ps has created "Layer 1"instead.

  It renames the copy of the background layer 1 layer if there is any other layers. It renames the version copy background if there are other layers.

• Convert a normal layer into the background layer

• Can not unlock the background layer after the digitization of the original works of art using VueScan?

  When Canon stopped the upgrade of drivers, I had to buy VueScan and so far have had no problems with him. The other day I scanned a number of pictures on my iMac, load them into Photoshop CS6 and manipulate away. From yesterday, if I try to do the same thing with pencil illustrations, it happens in a usually locked background layer and it remains! Houdini could not unlock this layer even with the use of a kind of digital pyrotechnics. If I go to the layers in the toolbar, each selection in the menu dropdown is grayed out.

  Any suggestions or advice that my project is now such that he is locked in the layer.

  Thank you for your time and attention.

  Looks like it is scanned as a bitmap or indexed color file.  Change it to RGB.

  If you cannot update the driver for a reason, disable GPU design in Photoshop and then restart Photoshop, until you can get ann updated driver that corrects bugs in the video card driver.

• How to hide text through layers of an image to the background layer?

  I have several layers of text I want to hide a background layer, which is a moving image.

  Text layers are displayed in chronological order to make a sentence (and I need it on several layers of positioning). The first word mask works great, but none of the other texts/masks until the end showing that they are on the lower layers and are hidden

  I also want the hidden area to be black.

  I have enclose a picture that shows what I want, but imagine every word is on a different layer, appear in the order and are surrounded black.

  

  Thank you!

  Text animations to reveal your text. Use the text layer as a track for the video cache. All that is required is two layers.

  If you insist to have each word on a separate layer, you need to precompose your layers of animated text, and then use the demo as a matte alpha for your video.

• Weird border appears automatically in the background layer. How can I get rid of him?

  When I create a new canvas, a border appears around it automatically. It's a white border lined with curved edges which is under the background of my new file/document psd layer - it is not editable. I think I might change it in the drop-down "Show" menu, but I was not able to fix it. I've been messing around with the size of the canvas earlier, but I didn't know that I had done something I don't usually do. It is not hinder my work... it just bothers me so much!

  I would really appreciate if someone can help (this is probably an easy great solution)

• Why the background layer to unlock?

  When I open an image in PS the first layer is a locked background layer. If I start working in PS, it automatically turns into a unlocked layer 0. I want him to stay as a locked background layer. I used PS for some years and has just begun to arrive.

  In addition, specific to the crop tool: you have set the crop tool does not remove the pixels on the edges?  Photoshop will convert the image into a layer to preserve in the affirmative.

  Created in Illustrator, exported as PDFs in acrobat reader, using the hidden layers, I created buttons to "animate" the map that I've been designing.

• looking for script for the name of the background layer

  I saw a script that, on opening a file in photoshop cs5, would change the name of "background" on the name of the file,

  for example the 'context', instead, would read "joe the bike", or something like.

  any ideas?

  I use lion and imac i7.

  Thank you all

  This might work; It changes the name only if the layer down is a background layer, however.

• Video on the background layer does not appear behind the query graph.

  Hello experts first,

  I use 6 first on the Windows machine and in the last days, I created a graph of motion which has an alpha channel for transparency of the background and placed on the video track 2 and it works when I put a static image under it... that is, it shows the background behind my motion properly chart image in preview and video rendering.

  But now, I put in an AVI video file behind my chart of movement and I have tried to put this AVI file on the video track 1A and 1B and made my film, but I'm only get my graphic movement of movement on a black background in the preview and rendering film... no video of my 1 track video or 1 b appears in the graphic background of my movement... but when I put a static image, such as a JPEG or a PSD behind my chart of the motion, which appears in the preview and in the final film.

  Video should not be able to be seen behind a chart of the movement?

  Thanks for any help,

  NuMetro

  AHA... progress!

  If you must, experiment as another by, since youre export 856 x 480 maybe use square pixels insteadof usual avi 720 x 480 nominal 16:9... It can crush it back to what you want...

  Yes, robodog1 is lost in cyberspace just now... here on the forums... I think that it is okay and amok running fun out there...

• Since the installation of the last Photoshop CC updated two days ago, Auto Blend to focus stacking is to select all pixels of the background layer instead of those of the better development of each layer. Also has anyone seen this problem?

  I installed the latest update of Photoshop CC on my Macbook Pro two days ago, and now when I try to focus stacking by opening several photos and make Auto Align and Auto mix, mixture selects the entire background layer instead of select areas of the development of each layer. I tried again on a series of images where it worked a week ago, and the problem occurs. I have Photoshop on a Windows 8 machine and did not apply this last update and it works fine. If anyone else has experienced this?

  And we now have the new version!  2014.2 is out and it's fine to focus stacking and Photomerge.
