Photoshop issue with layers
Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2019 10:51 pm
I hope someone here can help because Adobe has not been able to figure out my problem after three hours.
Step one, I open an image (Tiff file)
Step two I make a background copy
Step three I select a section of the background copy and make a curves adjustment on the selected section
Step four I link the curves adjustment to the background copy layer so it only applies to that layer
Step five, I go back to the background layer (not the background copy layer) and try to make a different curves adjustment and nothing happens.
I have the same problem if I make another background copy layer and try any adjustments on this additional layer. It seems like Photoshop has locked and adjustments to additional layers after I make the first background copy.
Quick note, I have the same problem if I try any other adjustments as well, not just curves adjustments.
I never had this problem before and it only started when I had opened an older image in Camera raw, and tried to make some adjustments to this image. I had been using this process on several other images prior to this without and problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
