Question

Can’t Move Texture In Layer Style?

So you know how in the Bevel & Emboss section of layer styles you can add a texture right? Well before, I was able to just click on that and move the texture on the layer by clicking a dragging directly on the image, but that doesn’t seem to work anymore. In fact, all of my layer styles now have their texture reset to the default position and are unmovable, effectively ruining some of the effects as they partially relied on those texture placements. What happened?

I noticed this, and then checked to see if there was an update for Photoshop CC, which there was, so I installed it thinking that it might fix it, but it didn’t.

On MacOs High Sierra with Adobe CC 2018 also not working. Hope it will be fixed soon, since it's really essential for some text effects.

I just tried again, and now I can't move the texture around with anything newer than cc2015. I'm sure I was able to do so when I posted above.

I can move the texture around just fine. CS4, CC 15.5, 17, and 18 all work the same.

Hi Semaphoric

Are you using Mac or Windows?

Jeff Tranberry of Adobe has confirmed the issue on the Photoshop Family thread - it would be good if we can help narrow it down. I can replicate it on Windows 10 CC2018 and CC2017.1.1

I just got my brother to try it, he's using CC2017.1.1 on Windows 10 as well and it also doesn't work for him.

Hi

I've just tried this in CC2018 and CC2017.1.1 and could not move the texture. I then tried in CS6 and could. I don't know which version stopped it.
