• Can I copy the image adjustments in another image if I didn't not use layer styles and adjustment layers in Photoshop?

  I have several photos captured in similar conditions and have already adjusted one of the photos for my taste. I am a complete newbie and have just read layer styles and adjustment layers and did not them you use while editing. I simply clicked on the Image > adjustments and went from there. Would be really nice if there was a way I could 'redo' these adjustments on the other photos that I stupidly forgot precise adjustments I made. Is this possible? I use Photoshop CC 2014.

  Sorry but no, this is not possible. It was possible, if you had used adjustment layers instead of making the adjustment directly on the image.

  Using adjustment layers is the best way forward: it is non-destructive; It can always be changed later or even completely deleted, and he has a mask that allows you to restrict the adjustment on the only parts of the image. And it can be saved for later reuse...

  When using adjustment layers, I get the message "adobe could not rasterize because pixels for this layer data are not directly editable" what's the problem?

  This happens because there is no mask on adjustment and you have selected the Brush tool. You cannot paint on an adjustment. If the masks are not be created by default when you create the adjustment and you want that they be created, select mask add default option in the context menu of adjustments of the

• How to copy a channel alpha to an adjustment layer mask?

  I can copy a mask in alpha channel to a layer of the image by Ctrl + click on the alpha channel, then by clicking on the icon Add a layer mask in Photoshop CC, but it does not work for an adjustment layer.

  Drag the Alpha channel down to the channel to load as a selection symbol.

  Return the Panel layers, click the adjustment layer and choose an adjustment layer.

• Mask by default in adjustment layers

  I don't want Photoshop to automatically create a mask when I invoke an adjustment layer.

  
  How can I disable this function?  He must be buried under a few non-obvious menus.  I had managed to disable it in CS4, but do not remember how.

  Thank you!

• Is there an equivalent for Photoshop adjustment layer masks After Effects?

  I have a clip showing the clouds in a blue sky and the Valley in the bluish shade, and I want to darken the blues of the sky without affecting the Valley. Effects such as Hue/Saturation or curves produce good results on the sky, but apply to the entire composition.

  In Photoshop I would just do something like painting a gradient on the adjustment layer mask, but I don't see an equivalent in after effects CC2015.2 and wonder if I forgot something. Pointers?

  Mast track controls are in the Modes Panel. The second icon in the lower left corner of the timeline will reveal the switches and modes column in the timeline panel, or you can press F4 to switch between them. If the second icon is not selected, then you should also see a switch at the bottom of the column switches switches/Modes.

  Here's how I would setup a colour correction in this train yard shot to put a glance Kodachrome faded on the bottom of the frame without turning the yellow sky.

  

  If you look very carefully between the cars, you can see the start and the end points for my gradient.

• I want to see the layer mask instead of the thumbnail of the layer mask in the layers palette.

• Script to add the layer mask to all layers but the background?

  I have been a professional editor/Retoucher for photographers for the past three years. I use a lot of stock, but I've never branched in scripts so far. I am trying to refine my workflow and scripts to not appear to be the next logical step.

  I do a lot of work in the interiors, which is essentially manual HDR. Here's my current generation process, which I would love to find a way to script. I tried to be very clear, but let me know if it needs to expand. I use Photoshop CS5.

  1. pull brackets, color corrected TIFF in Bridge.

  2 re-order as needed, with the main exhibition downstairs. Click on 'Tools' > 'Photoshop' > 'Charge in the form of layers Photoshop"to get a PSD with layers in the correct order and main as exposure layer from bottom (base).

  3. manually go through each layer and add a layer mask hide all each layer except the background layer.

  4. Save as a PSD, using the original name of the background layer as the file name. To do this, I just copy the name of the layer (example.tiff), paste in the Save dialog box and then use the drop-down menu to select PSD (save as example.psd).

  I hope to automate steps 3 and 4 as they are the majority of your time for me. Any contribution is appreciated!

  Thanks again.

  Yes, your change is good.  This way the last layer will not have a mask applied.  I wasn't sure if you wanted that, but in the control for the background layer.

  Regarding the economy, what file format would you save on?  Here's how to save a psd:

  docRef var = activeDocument

  var doneFolder = new Folder('/c/photos/')

  var NomCouche = docRef.activeLayer.name

  var psdOptions = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();

  psdOptions.layers = true;

  app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;//include this line if you want that the coming dialog box.

  docRef.saveAs (new file (doneFolder + "/" + NomCouche + ".psd"), psdOptions);

  app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;//Resets at ALL - you won't let it work on.

• How to view the alpha channel of the layer mask in the layers palette?

  Help out me people CIHI...
  CS5 using - in the past, when I added a layer to a layer mask, it would appear in the palette as the alpha channel, which was very convenient. Now, when I add a layer mask, it appears only as the icon of mask; that is, square gray with a white circle in the middle. I have no idea what I did to go from one to the other, but I'd like to return the alpha representation!

  TIA,

  Looks like you have set the layers panel to "no thumbnails. Right-click on a layer thumbnail (not a mask thumbnail) other than the bottom to see the thumbnails options.

• Problems with adjustment layer masks

  I have serious problems with adjustment layer masks. I have converted a photo black and white usiing one adjustment layer and trying to return to colored eyes. My form tool is selected, the color black is my first plan and target my layer mask. Coloring on the contour of the eyes a brownish/sepia-like color is revealed instead of blue (the color of the eyes). When I on the skin a reddish colour. In this case on THREE platforms... PSE6 CS3 AND CS5.5.

  I have reset my tools. Close the program. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice (PSE6 and CS3). And you have installed a trial version and reset preferences in CS5.5 (just to see if I could overcome my problem). I also reset the default preferences in CS5.5.

  Recently, I uninstalled a trial version of PSE10 (a week ago give or take and I think that I have chosen to remove preferences... do not know well).

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Yes, I figured that the surrounding grayish area would give the impression that the color of the skin is too orange/high heat, and without external tone, the eye color looks different.

  Katherine, take a piece of paper, make a big hole like brush strokes and place it on the corrected image. This is not the colors are the same as on the image corrected, now? (Well, there should be a gray piece of paper to get exactly the same result)

  It's an optical illusion, like this: http://capslove.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/optical-illusion/ where the eyes of the same color green or cyan according to its surrounding areas. Your mind compensates for the colors and the tricks you into believing that they are different in picture one / two, skin color lighter and less saturated than in your second picture image.

  Knowing this, you can use another adjustment layer, to drive the color where you want (to the soft blue brighter, more saturated) or skin made down the color that appears too bright.

  If the other members of the forum are not paid in graphic design and the influence of surrounding the optical tricks colors/classic, it doesn't surprise me that they are consistent with the description you give, especially if you do ask them 'the skin looks too orange.

  This is why it is recommended to have a photo studio (or the room in what you use Photoshop) with gray walls, why Photoshop interface is neutral blue-grey and not bright pink, etc.

  (If you work on a Pc, select a black theme without transparency for Vista/7, or on a mac, select the choice of interface of graphite, as it could also mislead you.)

  Some use a grey full desktop picture.

  Thanks for the props, guys!

• Absent layer of my adjustment layer mask

  Hello gang of Photoshop,

  Sometimes when I do a layer (such as a Vibrance adjustment) adjustment layer have or do not have an attached layer mask thumbnail. Lately, it does NOT show a thumbnail of the layer mask. When I have an active selection and then make an adjustment layer, there then not attached layer mask thumbnail. On another computer, I do the same creation of adjustment layer, and it automatically has a layer mask thumbnail. What happens on a computer that does NOT have the thumbnail of the layer mask?

  I hope it's clear enough!

  There is a preference for whether you want automatically added layer mask.

• Adjustment to the mask layer?

  Hello

  Although the passing opposite is already possible,

  I was wondering how I can apply an adjustment layer to

  No, you cannot apply an adjustment for a mask layer (the concept does not work here...).

  You can use the refine edge and masks Palette on the mask to make simple changes.

• Layer masks and blending modes

  I read on the layer blending modes in Photoshop CS6: The Missing Manual, p.121.  They talk about setting exposure using the blending modes, and they show how to darken an image by using the following procedure.  (1) activate a layer, (2) create a mask of levels, (3) the blending mode of the layer to multiply the value.

  My impression is that blending modes change how the pixels on one level interact with the pixels on the next lower level; that is, it implies there are at least two layers of the image.  So I'm not surprised that if I have a single layer without a mask and I change the blending mode from normal to multiply, it is without effect, probably because there is no immediately lower level to allow interaction.  However, if I have a single layer and create a layer mask, then changing the blending mode from normal to multiply darken the image.  That must involve the pixels of the layer are interacting with transparent pixels on the mask.  What?

  Can someone explain what is happening in reality not here?

  Use layer blending modes, you need to the two layers less.

  As you mentioned above:

  '(1) activate a layer, (2) create a mask of levels, (3) the blending mode of the layer to multiply the value'

  step 2 means create a levels adjustment layer that comes with a default mask if you want to make local adjustments.

  in this case, if you have a layer and add an adjustment layer, it works as if you duplicate the layer.

• By default gray layer mask

  Hello

  I made a few changes on a photo and in the Panel layers (screenshot below), some of layer masks are gray instead of black.  I made these changes in quick succession of each other, so I don't understand why some are out some grey and black (which is OK)?

  I was doing a box on an image selection, and then by clicking on the button layer mask below layers panel, which then creates a layer / layer mask with the selection and the selected layer mask option (i.e. color balance, brightness / contrast, etc.).

  Any help on why this happens and whether or not it is correct would be great.

  

  You did all of the selections as a path with the pen tool (or other vector tool)? If you did and you add the adjustment layer, you will get a vector mask gray/white.
