Photoshop 7 for Mac
Normally when I add an effect to a layer through the toolbar, Layer=LayerStyle=DropShadow, I then go to the Layers Navigation window, click on the drop shadow effect, and another pop up box springs that allows me to adjust all aspects of the drop, such as direction, opacity, etc. Also in this pop up box, the other effects such as satin, etc., appear on the left, allowing me to navigate to any effect, add it, etc.
Suddenly, I can no longer click on the effect in the layers box. I turn it off and on by using the eye icon. But when I click on the "effects" tab or the "drop shadow" effect in this window, the pop up box allowing me to adjust effects no longer appears. Instead, the only option I have is to move my pointer around the image window, and the drop shadow will move accordingly. It seems as though this is the only control over the effect that I now have. To get out of this, and get back to a regular workspace, I must hit enter and the effect change takes effect and I return to normal operation.
How do I get that effects pop up box back when I click on the effect in the layers box, that will allow me to adjust all aspects of the effect?
Thanks.
