Photoshop Problem.

I havn't used photoshop for a while, I have been very busy, I recently got back to it, I was doing some brushing, I did a color balance on one of the layers it worked fine, I selected the second layer and tried to color balance that, moving the bars had absolutly no effect. I tried hue/sat and it also had no effect, if I rise the lightning it shows up a tiny bit. I have no idea what the problem is.

Any help is appreciated.

Btw, I have reinstalled a couple of times, no help. I think this might have happend when I installed cs2 and reverted back to cs/7.

 

I think the brushing layer is to 'empty' to color. There is not eanough brushing on that layer.

Why dont you use adjustment layers? (Layer - new adjustment layer - color balance)

That should work lots easier!

Try re-settings all of the settings back to default. You do Shift + Ctrl + Alt on Photoshop's startup.

 

were you sure the 'preview' buton was checked? maybe you have to accept to see the effect

 

this happend to me, i didnt have the colour mode on rgb like a noob check for that it might work then

 

errr i think you are using it on grayscale just change it to rgb color

 

yeah, also if its too bright or too dark it wont work

 

I'll try reseting my settings and I'll also try the adjustment layer.

It might have been a while since I used photoshop, but I still don't make simple mistakes like not having preview on or color mode .

I'll see how it goes when I get home, thanks for the help.

The problem is, that after the first layer, the rest just don't do anything, the only thing that has any effect is hue/saturation and I have the set the brightness completly up to see anything come through. Even if I duplicate the first layer, I won't be able to edit it the second time.

 

The simplest solution is usually the right one.

Is it checked?

 

post a screen shot of your layer properties and stuff.. i might be able to help a lil more once i see that
