A problem with the selections of feathers - please help!

I am currently using Photoshop CS4 Extended.  This problem can be demonstrated by the following workflow (the actual size, I used are not important):

1. open a new file with a white 4 "x 4" @ 400 dpi (use the foreground/background default colors - black and white).
2. make a new layer (Layer 1) and fill it with black.
3. a second new layer (Layer 2) and fill it black also.
4. Select a rectangle in the Center about 2 "x 2".
5. make layer 1 of the active layer.
6. choose Select-> modify-> feather 100 pixels.
7. tap on DELETE.
8 make the layer 2 of the active layer.
9. choose Selection-> invert.
10. press delete.
11 change the property of the layer 2 layer to multiply.

I expect that the two layers (Layer 2 and layer 1) should be exact with the compliments of the other such that none of the white of the background layer should be visible through the black.  But instead, there is a halo of invisibility in the pen area (see this by disabling the background layer).  Step 11 seems to have no effect.

None of you see this problem too.  What can I do to get an opacity of 100% in both layers of feathers?  Does anyone have an explanation for what is happening and why the unexpected behavior.

Another thing that is strange is that if you just do a sselection feathers to say a black box, fill it with white and then fill the same selection with black, you get a similar unexpected result.

Maybe I didn't address it directly, but I did it on a conceptual level: all calculations are multiplicative.

If a pixel is partially selected, it is multiplicative combined with fill color (X % x 100 + original pixel color - X % x fill color).  To do this, twice, and some vestiges of the fill color of the first filling is part of the original pixel color twice.

function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

I still want the effect somehow and wonder how.

Can you describe clearly what it is you are trying to accomplish?

    Hello, as the employee of the wonderful adobe, instead of helping me solve my problem told me to search for the answer adobe help topics (I can NEVER find the answer, I need on any page of sites help topic, that's why I always prefer to just directly contact them) or try the forums (essentially giving access to his work to you guys) I'm here.

    I'm trying to donload my copy of photoshop elements 3 on my laptop. I downloaded it and works on my desktop and it's on my laptop before I needed to get a new hard drive. The problem is, whenever I try to open the program after installation, I get this message:

    "Could not complete your request because of missing or no personalization information valid"

    then the program closes.

    I have alread deleted and reinstalled the program several times, but no luck.

    Any ideas on what the issue is, and how I can fix this problem?

    The only reference I found to this error are intended for Windows users, but it seems to point to an authorization number.  I recommend creating a new administrator account and repeat installation under this account.  It seems as if the installation program cannot write the serial number during installation information.  A new administrator account resets permissions so should not encounter the same problem as your current user account.

  • Problems with the selections in cs5

    Hey, recently I started noticing odd behavior that's not happened before involving selections in photoshop cs5.

    the first thing I noticed, when I made a selection with the lasso on any given layer and hit transform, the tool only has not automatically select active pixels as it did before. Instead, the processing area was around the entire selection, I did even if the borders do not contain active pixels. It is a very big problem for me because when I have my items in a certain place, and I want to turn them in this position, thay move somewhat because the selection is not limited to the shape. I was wondering if this is some new CS5 that can be changed. or old function that I've accidentally switched on.

    My second problem is that when I make a selection with the Selection tool or the lasso tool, then I swiitch on the move tool to move the selected content and then switch back to a selection tool to delete only a part of the previous Thatcher so that I can spend the rest of the content, place of deselection of this region, it erases the pixels contained in the deselection. and I just want to remove the selection, do not delete the pixels. I also wonder if it is a function that can be modified or if I have a big problem.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    AD 1)

    A solution might be to switch to the tool move and press the left and right arrow in the order.

    AD 2)

    One solution might be to enter and exit quick mask by Q hit twice.

    Thank you

    This has been covered a lot. A BIOS update may be an option to solve the problem of keyboard mapping, you can change your keyboard shortcuts to reassign the digital keypad input to be a paragraph return or you can try simply by changing the State of the numlock - if it is on, turn it off and vice versa. Withthis problem most of the systems that seems to change the function of the two keys back and forth between the enter alpha and entry number.

  • Problem with the selection lasso, quick selection and error messages (saying selection is empty)

    Hello

    I'm trying the sect a person on a picture and paste it into this collage photo, I'm working on that. First I tried to use the quick selection tool, but I guess my man I'm cutting too many colors: when I use the quick selection, it immediately goes into a rectangle around the entire image. I even tried to paint the rest of the picture in black with the exception of humans, but always the same results with the quick selection. Then I tried the lasso, but nine times out of ten, he would stop and do an odd choice. When I finally got a good lasso selection (done after much cursing) then CS6 told me that 'the selection is empty' . What? I made a new layer before I made the selection.

    Can you help me solve these problems?

    I just downloaded CS6 just a day ago and have a lot to learn, but I worked with Paint.net and Paint Shop Pro for the past two years, so I'm familiar with paint and photo editing software.

    Thank you

    Kelly

    [amended to be readable by an admin text]

    Please do not submit your application in green. It's a useless distraction.

    You are trying to make a selection in an empty layer.

    Back to the image of the layer, not the empty one that you created, and you will be able to make a selection.

    Once selected, press Cmd + J to your object selected on a new layer. I think that's what you had in mind.

  • Select and mask | Problems with the selection in the process of disappearance - CC 2015.5

    Hi all!

    I've just updated Photoshop 2015.5 CC version.

    I am currently working on a design that needs cutting contours.

    So I picked all the areas belonging to the background of the image and then click on the "select and mask" to refine the edges and then clear my selection as I usually did.

    But instead, my selection disappeared...

    My steps were:

    1. Selection of the areas to clear with "themagic wand tool.
    2. Click on 'select and mask' (output parameters: output to the selection).
    3. Click on 'OK'.
    4. Selection has disappeared!

    I have provided all the tools to their default settings, but nothing has changed.

    I tried to close and reopen the case, repeat the steps to delete the background, but I always feel the question.

    It is a big problem for me!

    I hope that there is someone who could help me/us with this!

    Best,

    Joanna

    I actually asked the new workspace me first thing after update, because I wasn't getting.  It's different enough that you need to learn everywhere, I'm afraid, but it is definitely an improvement when you become familiar with it.  See Julianne Kost guide below, but I suspect that you may need to adjust the sliders that control the opacity of the background.  Or simply click on the transparent part to start the selection.

  • Problems with the "Select tool?"

    Because I have updated the latest version of Adobe Illustrator on cc, the "Select" tool does not correctly. It does not scale the rectangle shapes (made by the tool 'Form') using the "select" tool (all other forms work fine). I tried to contact customer service at this topic and it seems that it is a software update. I asked an ETA, but was initially ignored, and the 2nd time said they could not provide me with this information yet, only that he had been sent to the engineering team. I have projects and patterns to talk of the possibility of those not being not on the time and all I was asking for a was an estimated time that the glitch would be fixed and then nothing more said, I booted from the live chat. At this point, I am furious because I tried to be patient ALL day with the customer service team and that's how I'm treated... All I want is a time on how long it usually takes to update glitches can be solved. Even if it takes a month, it would be nice to be able to provide this information to my people.

    Zewster,

    It seems that the problem is a bug that is limited to only one of the MAC versions starting from 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks), see this thread linked below.

    https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1595973

    Thus, a switch for the Mavericks with a reinstall might be another way to solve here and now.

    So I got my new Motorola Droid 3 back in August 2011, I think that I don't really remember the exact date. But since I got it I really have not had any problems with it. A few times he has not desire to market even if it was fully charged I jumped all simply the back opened and removed the battery, then put back to solved the problem.

    I did not really send picture messages since I got my phone, of course I sent normal text messages but just not been sending images to third parties or received no more. Well yesterday my good friend sent me a picture and for me he gets up and shows the message size, and has two buttons indicating the download and the other one that said reject and then he said: the date it will expire. So I clicked on the download button, the text turned gray and says download. So I waited... and waited and waited some more more, but nothing appeared. I thought maybe it was the message, but today at my mother and sister tried to send me picture messages and that they would not open either. He comes to say download I waited thirty minutes for each message today and nothing.

    It upsets me and I don't know what to do or how to fix. There, can someone help me? Give me some information or give me a solution? Should I just go to Verizon to ask them for help? Or y at - it an easy way to solve this problem.
