To delete the template you need to go to the libraries panel (Window -Libraries) In the selection drop down box, at the top of the panel,  which will probably be defaulted to "My Library" - select "Stock Templates" You should see the template you downloaded.

From your description it looks like you have had issues with CC2017 and then re-installed CC2015.5. If that is the case - have you checked the Performance Preferences (including GPU settings) and Scratch disks to see if the set up now is the same as you had in your previous 2015.5 installation? After that can you give some details of your system so that users here can try and help you. Dave ... View more

It looks, from your screenshots, like you have placed the objects into your PSD file, via your library,  with a link to your library then deleted the files from the library. I don't use illustrator so cannot tell you what step there would have done this. You can now do one of two things : 1. If you need them linked so that they will keep in step if you change the master Right click on the layer and "Relink to File" or "Relink to library graphic" or 2. If you don't actually require them to be linked Right click on the layer and click on Convert to Smart Object. That will undo the linking and stop the errors from showing Dave ... View more

JJMack has given you the correct answer to your question. I would advise you however, to consider carefully the cost of buying CS6 which is an old version and will not be updated to keep up with bugs or operating system updates, against  the monthly/annual Photography package which you gives you all the updates for Photoshop CC, Camera RAW, Lightroom CC and Bridge for several years for the price of a perpetual CS6 licence.

Hi Simon thanks for your reply. The config.lua file is set up exactly as you describe. The Lightroom system info does show the line : Config.lua flags: EditExternally.OverridePhotoshopPath = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Photoshop.exe That is the correct path to Photoshop on my PC. Edit in Photoshop works correctly  but Open as Layers in Photoshop gives no response initially them after a timeout the following message appears : "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 could not be launched" Dave ...

The only way, on Windows,  I know is to redock the panel. Use the bar at the top of the panel to drag it to the left or the right of the Photoshop window. There will be a point when it is partially overlapped that you will see the window edge turn blue. Release at that point and the panel will dock. Once docked the tabbed images will not go behind the panels. When docking it may be easier to see if the Photoshop window itself is not maximised full screen, you can maximise it afterwards Dave ...

Hi Jonathan It looks like there ius an issue with blending modes for group layers acting differently on 16 bit and 32 bit images as they would in CS6 or CC2015.5. I can replicate the issue with a very simple 2 group file (each group with only one layer) There is a thread here discussing it where Adobe staff have taken a away the issue for investigation Blending mode issue for folders in Photoshop CC 2017 Dave ...

Akash I can replicate this here. The issue is with 16 bit and 32 bit images. I created a simple file with 2 groups each containing only 1 layer. The first is a blue circle with white background – the second is a yellow circle with a transparent background and a transparent line through the middle. In Photoshop CS6 and CS 2015.5 the image looks the same if I set group 2 to “Pass through” and Layer 2 to “Linear Dodge Add”  as it does if I set the group to “Linear Dodge Add” and the layer to “normal”. I would expect this given only one layer in the group Group2 Pass - Layer 2LDA            Group 2 LDA - Layer 2 Normal However in CC2017 16 bit /32 bit the outcome looks very different Group2 Pass - Layer 2LDA            Group 2 LDA - Layer 2 Normal (Gray in second screenshot is transparency) Surprisingly in 16 bit mode, zoom out to 50% or less and the image looks as ­expected ! In 32 bit mode it does not have an impact (it is broken regardless of zoom).  Also 8 bit works as expected. Turning the graphics processor on/off makes no difference to this behaviour Dave ...

Yes I can see your issue and it looks like your whole interface is being displayed at a low resolution. I am not a Mac user - hopefully someone will come along who is.

Use layers and masks to build it up. In the example below : The bottom group of layers build up the frame (which was cut off in your image The next is your photo with a black and white adjustment layer (tinted) and masked to the oval - then a stroke layer style added to bring out the oval The top two just add a reflection and shadows (painted on) Have fun Dave ...

Try this From your description, I suspect you may be in indexed colour mode.

CJWilkes makes a very good point. Creating a duplicate layer before doing any "destructive" pixel editing is a very good practice. The file size increases but with todays drives that is not normally an issue for your "master" copy.  The temporary layer you see on the tutorials does not serve that purpose - it is closed when the crop is finished.
