P: Applying the Same Filter to Underlying Layer Deforms the Layer Unpredictably

Liquify algorithm acting strange. I am reshaping one layer. Then I press ok. After that I want to reshape underlying layer at  the exact way. Until PS CC 2018, I just press CTRL+L and that layer deforms exactly as previous layer (they blend as they were). In PS CC 2018, when I do that, it deforms strangely, not even close to the  first liquifyed layer.

    Hi Hannah,
    My topics name is changed to> Photoshop CC 2018: Missing Keyboard Shortcut for Applying the Same Filter to Underlying Layer
    That is not correct topic nor that is my problem. I just wrongly entered the letter of keyboard when I was posting. I screen captured my problem in form of a video. It is liquify behaviour problem. How can we change back the topic name?

    I don't think resolution has anything to do with it. I use ultrawide monitor 21:9 aspect ratio. 3440x1440

    I tried to reproduce the issue on normal layers and it's working as expected for me. Are you applying the liquify to either or group or a smart object?

    is this possibly related to screen resolution?  Could you try setting your display pref to 100%, relaunching Ps and trying again?  Or try on another monitor that is at 100%?

    My bad, I just wrote the bad command. I meant CTRL+F. In Photoshop CC 2018 is now CTRL+ALT+F to repeat the liquify.
    I didn't use any action. I will show you one more example. If I'm deforming an object beyond area of underlying layer (in this case, sleeves and bottom part of the shirt) (but I also deformed upper part of the shirt, around neck), then when I repeat liquify on that underlying layer it will deform totally strange.

    If it helps, the Windows keyboard shortcut for the last used filter is Ctrl+Alt+F. If you select another layer and use that shortcut it will apply the same deformation to the other layer.

    Hi Veljko,

    Sorry for the frustration. The default behavior for Ctrl+L is to bring up the Levels dialog. It was in CC 2017 too. Is it possible that you had a custom action that executed those steps (apply the last filter to the underlying layer)?

    If you need to find an action from a previous version that didn't migrate, here's a doc on migrating actions: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preset-migration.html

    Let me know what you find.

    Regards,
    Hannah
