Question

Layer opacity selection

Does anyone know why you can't manually fill in an opacity for layers in the current version of Photoshop CC? Now I can only use scrubby sliders or the slider bar. I prefer to put a number in the opacity section but it only takes a number up to 9. Very strange. Thanks for your comments.

When I use the scrubby slider then I can input my preferred level of opacity from the numbers keyboard and no beeping. Also reverted to the previous version with the same result. Very strange. Thanks to everyone with your comments and suggestions.

tap the numbers faster to enter specific amounts. 

- tap V for move tool

- quick tap numbers for opacity amounts.

 

this is the way it's worked for decades.

I've been using Photoshop since 1990 and I've never had this problem. Tapping faster doesn't work for me. Something changed in the updated version. Must be a bug of some sort. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, in 1990 Photoshop did not have Layers yet, so … 

 

Just to make sure: Does »I prefer to put a number in the opacity section« mean that you highlight the Opacity-text-field in the Layers Panel or do you use the numbers-keyboard shortcuts? 


I highlight the Opacity-text-field, then use the number keys to indicate my preferred level of opacity.

Thanks.
