Strange behavior when trying to re-adjust values ​​on an existing child adjustment layer !!


Recommended Posts

Clicking or double clicking on a layer often selects the whole layer stack!
Right click > "Edit Adjustment" turns everything white

That is the same as alt-clicking the adjustment's thumbnail - it shows the built-in mask as a greyscale image.

 

Somewhat confusing I find ..
Wouldn't  "Editing Built-in Mask" a more logical naming ?

Then shouldn't that option also be available for a new (non-child) adjustment layer?

I logged this the other day.

I found that when it selects all the layers, a fake dialog was opening letting you adjust the settings but it wasn't adjusting the existing adjustment. I couldn't reproduce this on macOS and it has been a bit of a pain.

Not yet resolved in 1.7.0.251, suppose this is still under investigation.

I've an update on this one..

The issue only seems to occur when a new adjustment layer is added !
When after  copy, paste inside (ctrl+alt+V) the existing adjustment layers everything works as normal.

Yes, I've been finding this.

In 1.6 clicking on a child adjustment layer selects just that layer.

In 1.7.123 single clicking the child layer when the focus is elsewhere selects the pixel layer too. Single-clicking the child again selects just the child. Double-clicking the child selects the parent too, while bringing up the adjustment dialogue which then doesn't work. A workaround is then to single-click the child again (the adjustment then works fine).

I know, just wanted to add that bit of info, because it has been a bit of a pain (as @Chris B mentioned) to find a solution that solves the problem

In topic: pixel layer with mask it's not possible to see how the mask looks like since alt+click always selects both mask and layer.

Alt-click the mask. Both layers selected. Then Alt-click the mask again. Now you've got what you wanted.

Still happening in 1.7.0.251.
