HELP! Levels/Curves/Masking no preview

[claire21820907itdt]

Does anyone know why I cannot see my levels anymore?? Or curves or where I have masked off. Only stopped working after the more recent update. Just blank...

Hi just go to window >> workspace >> reset your workspace or press F key to check screen mode..regards

What are you talking about? 

Could you please post full-size screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, Properties, …) visible? 

[claire21820907itdt]

Sure is this what you are looking for? Do u need a bigger image?

[c.pfaffenbichler]

The Levels Adjustment looks like it would not produce any change so what is the problem? 

[claire21820907itdt]

The problem is the levels are blank there should be a histogram but its missing. 

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Well, you did not mention the histogram in the original post, so I for one thought you were talking about the effect of the Adjustment Layer on the image. 

Does deselecting the Layer Mask make a difference? 

Have you reset the Preferences yet?

Ill give this a go and see if it makes any difference. Its just so strange that the preview of the histogram has disappeared. The levels still work I just cant see what I am doing. Thanks for your help I will try all those suggestions.

Remember to make sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved before resetting the Preferences, though!

Does the Histogram Panel work as expected? 

[claire21820907itdt]

Histogram seems to be showing okay

Do you have an image layer active? 

It’s the active image layer that produces the histogram.

I hope this helps

Try to reset your PS preferences. This can happen.

How do I do that?
