Need help asap please. Adjustment layer linking problem.

[Gryphken]

Hi everyone,

I'm almost finished with a project, but like always at the end something has to go wrong.

So I'm trying to make this sort of portal (based on a videogame).
I got the portal like I want it to be, but when I link the Color Balance effect to the Portal layer (so that it only effects that layer) the color just disappears, leaving me with a white portal.
But it needs to be done, otherwise it effects my other layers to and turn everything red.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here ? All tips are welcome.



When I link layers this happens:



But if I don't, it of course turns everything red:

Try this:

Hold ctrl + click Layer 10 copy thumbnail, it should select everything in that layer. When it's selected click Color Balance and try adjusting it. Then just duplicate the color balance layer to get stronger effect. This should do the trick.

Worked for me:

Try this as well.

Thanks a lot for giving this a try.

AleksiJS: Unfortunately it diden't work.

IamSam: I also tried your approach, but then my picture gets its normal bluish color back, but the portal itself turns white:



It would also be good if I could make the portal a GIF with a transparant background.
But when I try do do this, same thing happens, the portal just turns white.
