  • Mysterious non existent layer showing in file

    Hi – I’m working on a cd digipack. There are quite a bit of layers. The back cover is a cityscape and should match the same coloring as the front cover – it is one photo laid across front and back. For some reason on the back cover, the coloring is completely different – it is all red – making it look like some kind of effect was applied. I have gone through all the layers and it never disappears. Sometimes I open the file and the effect is not there but sometimes I open it and it’s there. I am worried because i’m doing this for a client and need to send it to print. Is the file corrupted? What can i do to make it go away?

    Here is a photo and some screenshots of my layers. I noticed that at the top the layer style is set on “pass through” and before posting this, I changed that to normal and it made no difference.

    Any ideas?

    Any ideas?

    Relief! I found out the answer searching on the internet. If this happens to you check your Channels window. I had a quick mask in the channels – how it happened i’ve no clue but i trashed it and my file is back to normal!!
