Looks like you are still going fine. Press CTRL+E. The Saturation and Commit layers will merge to commit the change.
What is happening there is the upper color layer is 'projecting' on to the gray background, giving you a look at the pure color. If it were white or black you'd see nothing. the saturated areas will stand out, and the next steps will help create the mask.

i just dont think i have the prepation steps right. at least i have questions about them. step 4 is that a menu->layer->new->layer?and if it is when making it do you turn opacity to 0%since it says remain transparent? the attachment shows the layer stack before step 15. thanks for the help.

Please have a look at the errata:

""another" new fill layer" should just be "a new fill layer" it was probably "another layer and fill with 50% gray" at sometime during the editorial passes.
layer->new->layer is fine...so is any other way that you create a new blank layer.
The order of layer creation is usually pretty important. If you are creating a new layeer and then a fill layer (without doing anything in between) the fill layer will come out on top of the blank. That series probably should have included a shot of the layer stack...
Though there are some errors, there is the errata and usually about enough information in the step otherwise to complete the series. For example, I goofed when inserting an HSB value as 50,0,0, when it should have been 0,0,50...but the step says fill with 50% gray. That can only be one thing.
Let me know if you continue to have trouble.

same problem
First off in step 5 when you create a new fill layer it links to the layer mask unless you first reactivate the background layer and then do step 5. I did not see this distinction in the errata.
The above was just FYI. In step 15 the merge is not availabe in the layers menu nor will it take with CTL+E.
I also used 2003blink's suggestion to just create a new layer and then fill it with 50% gray and it worked.

by SpittleIf I'm working on a 5k file with 50 layers or so, along with masks. I sometimes get this problem - random white squares obscuring any chance of working in that particular area. Workaround is to zoom in until the square moves somewhere else.
I tried different variations in how the file...-

by BrianFI'm not sure if I found a problem, or did one of the steps wrong. I'm
doing the exercise on page 113, setting up the layers to do saturation
masking. The problem I have is that on step 15, I'm supposed to merge
the Saturated Colors and Commit Mode 1 layers together. The problem...-

by bobdutI've used Photoshop for years -now version CS2 and lately Photoshop Elements v.6_Somehow I've never really grasped the basics of Layers. I open the Layers Panel, put in one of the photos I want to work with as a background and then try and add another, then the 1st one disappears. I know it's something...
