Apply a smart filter layer mask information destroyed?

IV has applied a dynamic filter on a layer that I did a lot of work of masking on. By applying this smart filter that I lose all my information masking? Is it possible to apply the two effects on the same layer?

Thanks for any help

If you have converted the layer with the layer mask to a CG so the filter will be applied on this as a whole, but the layer mask will still be in the SO.

If you want to keep the mask as a channel in the container document, for example, you can combine the layer, move the layer mask to the Group and convert the layer to a SO.

  • How can I view the 50% (red) lith Smart filter mask?

    I use more in addition to dynamic objects in PSCC2015 but can't seem to activate the option overlay mask to a smart object.

    The mask overlay will normally display with a mask of 50% red (lith) over the image, to help me with precision masking.

    To be clear, it's the smart filter that I am wanting to mask, not the smart object.

    In a workflow of chip non-object layer, option-click, and manipulation of the backslash key reveals the superposition of mask, just like the quick mask (Q) in non-couches mode.

    Work a Photoshop tutorial on an image.  I want to apply the edges of the poster to a smart object layer, but the filters Gallery is greyed out.  Gallery of filters is also grayed out for all other layers in this project.  (PhotoShop CC)

    Hi filter Gallery,

    Please, click on the tab of the image above and choose 16-bit/channel to 8 bits/channel mode.

    Then check if the filters Gallery is always grayed out.

  • Each smart filter separately on a single smart object masking

    1. is there a way to mask each smart filter separately on one single smart object... other than the nesting of a dynamic object in the other?

    2. is there a way to remove the dynamic object created previously?

    I mean, let's say I have a dynamic object that contains four layers. Can I remove dynamic object of these layers?

    Thank you...

    1 #, nesting is the only way.

    2. Yes. Open the smart object. Drag the layers in the original document. Now you can remove the layer containing the smart object.

  • Why apply the layer mask is grayed out?

    Hello

    From time to time 'apply the layer mask' is not available.

    What I checked myself:

    -Photoshop is not in master view (abbreviation Q).

    -J' have reset all warning dialog boxes (since it is a way to get a mask by dragging it to the trash).

    Can't get to work!

    Other solutions? Thank you!

    I found myself - the layer was a dynamic object. Perhaps I should suggest Adobe to let Photoshop ask pixelation during application, instead of just greyin'out.

  • Restore to 'apply the layer mask' OPTION?

    There is a new feature where you can drag a layer to the trash and NOT invited mask to "apply the layer mask?  This also has the 'do' don't show again option - which I clicked by accident. Thus, the default is now to apply the layer mask when I drag a layer mask to the trash. I can't imagine a way to restore the more traditional function, without restoring all other prefs.

    So what I would like is a way to restore the default classic where dragging a layer mask to trash the opportunity to apply or ignore them.

    Please excuse this apparently insgnificant request, but it is a very common function I would like to restore.

    Thank you!

    See if clicking Reset all dialogs warning at the bottom of Photoshop > Preferences > general solves the problem.

  • Apply a median filter in video?

    Hello.

    I just wanted to start to say I'm a complete Newbie using Photoshop for purposes of video editing, so patient with me to work, I work with Photoshop and we recently received a promotional video clip about a new Middle East project we collaborate, we would like to publish it on our intranet home page. However, they have chosen print information in the video, which is in Asia and type of a gene for eyes.

    I learned that I can use the CS6 video editing option and place a median filter on the denunciation without removing completely the bottom. I tried to use the Rectangle tool of selection (with the video clip selected in the layers) to join the information and then apply the median filter. It works fine, but as soon as I start the video, he is gone again... So, how can I make sure that the effect of median filter is applied throughout the whole sequence?

    I'm sorry if this thread is in the wrong forum, I was not really sure... Thank you very much for your help!

    Best regards

    Hello, I beg to differ. Convert the video layer to a smart object, select an area, apply your blur. IT can even be animated

  • Posterization layer masks

    I'm having a problem in Photoshop CS6 where I get the Posterization in a layer mask instead of a smooth gradient / transition. I'm 87% sure that translates a difficult transition that is visible in the final image (a TIFF image, not a jpeg).

    I tried to apply a Gaussian to the mask blur, but this changes just the Posterization, is not to remove it. Do the Gaussian blur with the document in 16-bit mode makes no difference.

    The Posterization is visible at all zoom levels. I tried setting the cache to 1 GPU based acceleration (and restart PS) levels, but still see the Posterization when you use a soft brush on a layer mask.

    I read some of the other threads on the forum where people had problems with their graphics cards / monitor causing things to look at profiles Posterization when they weren't really. The examples in these threads seemed OK to me, so I think it's a Photoshop related problem rather than a general problem for me. I have attached two screenshots below, I hope that you can open them full size and see if they appear posterized to you.

    I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it?

    Thank you

    16-bit mode for editing will reduce the introduction of banding, and if you finally convert 8-bit then Photoshop will dither the result. Dithering is enabled by default, I think, and it's in edition > color settings.

    You need a graphics card with 10 bits per channel (30 bits) output (via the DisplayPort connection, I think) and a monitor that displays 10 PCB to reduce the display of bands that you disturb. I don't know the current state of management of Photoshop for 10 PCB display or what equipment is recommended. A search of forum for "10-bit" or "30-bit" can get you some information about this.

  • Create a blurred layer mask?

    I have reproduced a layer, it blurred and want to make a layer mask, so I can selectively paint back parts of the blur on a face. I select the layer and choose the option and delete if it meets all of the black layer. Why is this? Why does not a mask to hide the blur layer?

    Thank you.

    Here are two ways:

    After you duplicate the duplicate layer, blur, Alt click on the layer mask icon

    at the bottom of the layers panel. This is a layer mask to hide all (the mask is black)

    Then paint on the layer mask with a white brush.

    You can also convert the duplicated to a smart object layer, run the blur on layer

    (what makes a smart filter with a layer mask) and then invert the mask of dynamic filter

    using Ctrl + I (blackens the layer mask) and painting on the smart filter mask with white.

    With a dynamic filter, you can change the blur by double-clicking the name of the filter.

    And I can't understand what to do step 6: I selected the forms below to apply a layer mask to the layer of color '

    Basically, this is the picture in the tutorial:

    I'm having difficulting translate this tutorial PS elements.  Could someone familiar with the items please take a look at this tutorial and offer any advice?

    Thanks in advance!

    Credo

    Yes, see if the following gives the results you are looking for:

    1. steps 1 and 2 are the same.

    2. the part where it says Add layer mask, click on the background layer and

    Add a levels adjustment layer. (Layer > new adjustment layer > levels)  Click on layer 1 and select group with previous.

    (Layer > Group with previous or add the clipping mask)

    3. steps 3 and 4, instead of the image to apply it, click the "eye" on the layer levels to

    levels of layer and layer 1 is not visible.

    Click on the background layer and then do a select all, copy. (Select > all) then (Edit > copy)

    ALT-click on the mask of levels and paste (Edit > paste) (a grayscale image will be pasted into the mask).

    Deselect (select > deselect).

    4 step 5 is the same.

    5. steps 6 and 7, click on layer 1 to make visible, and then click on the layer mask to levels

    to activate the mask, and then run the filter on the mask Gaussian blur.

    6 step 8 is the same.

    I hope this helps.

  • Smart Filter "fusion".

    If anyone can help me understand this, I would be very grateful.

    If you put 2 or more intelligent filters on a single smart object layer, effects filters are "combined" in a way that makes sense.  So why if you have 2 smart object layers, each with a filter, there no way to 'mix' in the same way?  If Photoshop can mix the filters correctly when they are on the same layer, why is there not the possibility to do when they are on different layers?  Am I missing something obvious here?

    BTW, I'm interested is because I would like to have individual masks for each smart filter.  I know that I can do the workaround nested object dynamic, but is rather a chore and uses a lot of memory.

    Thank you!

    I doubt it. When you use the layer level, all you have is the pixel values of the individual layers without a single layer, know each other. Filter chaining outside what smart objects offer would require a very different approach to this and then we are talking a workflow similar to applications based on compositing nodes, where each operation transformation is concatenated with the previous regarding the way in which the code is running under the hood. Not something that is going to happen any time soon in PS, I think.

  • import of photoshop in editable way AE layer masks?

    Hello

    This may sound silly but... using ch & AE CC 2015, is it possible to import Photoshop layers with their respective in After Effects layer mask so that we can still change the mask layer in AE?

    What I have is PS layer mask is applied to the layer AE but I can't find a way to change this layer in AE mask.

    Thank you

    I have a PS file with lots of layer masks I want to animate (the position & scale of the masks themselves) in AE.

    It is not possible. The masks themselves must be converted into actual layers using for example a selection. They can be used as mattes in AE and animated in any way you want.
