Hi again, 
I have this question but I don't remember if it was solved yet.
In my current workflow, I see this:
(the preview of the layers don't show up anymore). Do you know why, or if is a bug?

It's since I use Photoshop elements that happens this. At the beginning, I can see the preview of each layer, but after a while when I working, or make some 'merge', the preview disappear. 
Thanks again for the help in advance!

The print screen shows the layers are transparent.

Start over again with an image, and the Background layer (in the layers palette) should show visible content.

Palette is a panel with layers.

This is a known problem and I forget what the cause is or whether there is a fix for it. 

 

I don't know whether this will work, but try going to Edit>Preferences>Performance and change the setting for Use Graphics Processor for Improved Performance:

Thanks... I have already activated the option for use Graphic processor for improvements since when I had this problem, so I don't know what could be the problem. 
Today I re opened again my work and the preview of layers works again. So , who knows, maybe is the low memory ram after some hours to work with photoshop... I will try to see if it was this the case or because I did some other thing..

If someone knows also what could be this problem, please let us know again,

thank you again for the help!
