Sheepdogz Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 When I am recording a new macro, with the background selected, if I press the record button and then press escape, I receive the message "deselected" on the macro screen. I can't seem to get to the "clear selection" so that I can place filters above the background. With the "deselect" any filters applied are as child layers to the background. Probably a very easy solution, but not for me! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smadell Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Use either of these solutions: 1) In the Assistant, choose “Add adjustment as a new layer” instead of as a child layer; or 2) After deselecting, choose “Deselect Layers” from the Select menu. This will assure that any new layer is placed on the top of the stack.
