Question

Send layer to back no longer working in latest release

I have recently updated to the latest release of Photoshop CC and can no longer send layers to back.

The shortcut shift + command +[ now does the opposite and sends the layer to the front. Additionally using the menus 'Layer > Arrange > Send To Back" also does the opposite to what it should.

The 'Bring To Front" shortcut and menu options work fine. The 'Send Backwards' shortcut and menu option also works fine.

I am using Mac High Sierra 10.13.6 and the latest version of Photoshop CC. Everything worked fine before updating, any suggestions to fix this?

I use this functionality a lot so it is quite frustrating.

    Same here: both "Layer > Arrange > Send To Back" and "Layer > Arrange > Bring To Front" actions actually send the selected layer to the front, no matter if called from the application menu or using a keyboard shortcut. 

    I'm on  MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 (23G93)
    Photoshop 25.12.0

    I also can't recreate it on Windows 10. Maybe it's a Mac High Sierra issue.

      I think that's quite likely, i am having a lot of bugs since the update.

      I'm not noticing this in 20 and 10.13.6 on my 2012 MBP. Command or shortcut.

      I can't suggest anything at this point except toassign CC 2019 to Accessibility.

      Hi Diana:

      I can't recreate this on Mojave/CC 2019.

      You might try resetting preferences. Be sure to save custom presets, custom brushes, etc. first.

      If you use the shortcut Shift + Option + Command + K (Mac) / Shift + Alt + Control + K (Win) or direct yourself to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts

      Does the shortcut look the same in there? If not, it is possibly you're preferences have changed. Check the shortcuts set and see if the shortcut looks wrong to what is occurring.

      Yeah the shortcut looks correct in there, the odd thing is it is broken in the shortcut and from using the commands in the meny
