cinbns Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Hi! I just recently purchased AFF Photo & am using the Windows version. My question is I'm editing a PSD mockup with smart objects & works great with adding designs to pixel layers however I can't get the colors to change on the objects that are HSL adjustment layers. When I double click it brings up the HSL wheel however no matter what I do I can't get the color to change. I've attached a screen shot of what I'm working on. You'll see I've selected the lamp shade I'm trying to change color on. Thanks for any help in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinbns Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Hi Callum, Here's a free mockup file with the same issue. I couldn't find a way to attach the mockup file I paid for in a private message. Thank you! 164_1_Bedding.psd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstdefence Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Take the HSL adjustment layer out of the smart object group and it will work, intact just ungroup the Smart Object group.

I've tried that before & then again just now, still not working for me. Am I doing something wrong on the HSL wheel maybe? When I pick a color and/or move the nodes around the wheel I get no changes.

For users that may find such an issue in the future Basically almost identical to the way you explained but I found that you don't have to find the object under "object ID's". As long as they are not grouped, I just ctrl+click on the thumbnail under the actual "smart objects" & I'm able to use the "fill" tool.

Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
