Inner shadow stroke parameter not working properly

Here's my issue: I'm trying to add an inner shadow on my layer, but when I try to change the stroke, even by just 1%, it fills out the entire layer with the shadow color. The preview works fine, but in the layer, it's doing this weird thing.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I'm on PS 21.0.1inner_shoadow_stroke.jpgexpand image

Nope, that's not changing the behavior of the inner shadow stroke unfortunately

Salut! 
I am wondering why the layer opacity and fill are disabled. Is the layer opaque? Are you looking at 100% zoom? 
'did you try to reset Photoshop's preferences manually by dragging the preferences folder to the desktop. This way you can copy them back if it does not work: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually

It works for me (with the screenshot from OP edited)

and I can also reproduce the behaviour with incorrect inner glow settings

IMO there is actually no need to reset the preferences. Maybe we can have a look at the file ourselves soon. Maybe the OP will also show us which tutorial he is working to ...

Hi PEC,
I wouldn't say that (yet).


I would love to see and inspect the file from the OP. Then we'll see whether ‘unsuitable, because conflicting’ settings are actually responsible.

@PECourtejoie the OP mentioned "I'm on PS 21.0.1" that version is not available from the Creative Cloud app and is not supported, so a bug report would be useless.

@Tom26482893qfvv where did you get that version from? have you tried updating to most recent version from the Creative Cloud app, which is available as part of your subscription.

That does not matter.


Here is (my) sample file (with the edited screenshot from OP).
Activate/deactivate ‘Layer 2 copy’ and check the settings of Inner Glow against ‘Layer 2’ Inner Glow

Looking at the file provided, I do not see the behavior described when changing the settings in Inner Shadow. Instead, I see the behavior comes from having "Center" selected as the Elements Source in the Inner Glow settings. Changing this to the "Edge" option works in the way I assume is expected.

Hi @BrettN 

Thank you for your reply.


That was/is exactly my assumption (I'm not the person who asked the question - I was merely recreating a possible scenario). Unfortunately, the questioner has still not made his file available. Because only then would it be possible to find and suggest a real solution - one that really fits the problem.

 

I am still relatively sure that the cause of this ‘misbehaviour’ in the questioner's file is an unfavourable setting in the effects. Perhaps he/she will get back to me in this thread. Perhaps his/her ‘problem’ has already been solved in the meantime.
