Change the opacity of a selection on a layer without changing the entire layer.

I use Photoshop CS2 for several years to improve my photos, but earlier met with something simple, that I can't find out how.   I have a photo of an interior room with defined exposure mainly for the open window on the background layer, but the rest of the room is very dark.  The only other layer, the top, I got the same correctly exposed for the room, which overexposes the aea of window.  The upper and lower layers are superimposed perfectly, and the top layer is at 100% opacity.  I selected the window on the top layer and to change the opacity of the area selected to mix properly with window on the lower layer without changing the opacity of the layer.  No matter what I do, change the opacity seems to only affect the entire layer, and I didn't understand how to isolate the area selected for the opacity change.

I can cut the selection to reveal the darker window on the bottom layer, but it does not give me the flexibility I need to balance the two exhibitions. A change of opacity would be ideal.

Any ideas?

OK - I've found a workaround.  I made the change of opacity for the entire layer so that the window looked the way I wanted to and flattened the image. It left me with an excellent rendering of the window of the room.  Then I added a new layer with an opacity of 100% with the image of the maid's room, but the overexposed window.  I repeated the selection in the window on the new layer and make a cut, which revealed the right window in the image of the maid's room.  Then I flattened the image and there

I close this issue as resolved.

  • I arranged with care my photos in a special order in a separate folder for burning. When I burn the entire folder to a DVD, the changes in the order, can you help me?

    I copied pictures from a trip taken on my iPhone and my camera and a place in a special sequence in a separate folder.  The date/time stamp is correct on the iPhone, but out of 3 hours on the camera because of the time zone change schedule.  However, I carefully interspersed photos from two sources so that they would be in the order I have what they read in slide show mode.  The order in the folder is in order I want that they burned, but when I burn, the entire order is changed. How can I copy the DVD in the order I want them and not by the stamp of date/time-just #1-#275 as I put?

  • Rectangle does not select the entire image

    I used Photoshop 9 for quite awhile, but the rectangular mark does not work properly.  I don't stretch and select the entire image.  I reloaded the software without modification.  What I don't want to change that?

    Hello, look in your toolbar Option: you have fixed ratio and fixed size, selected in the Style: fall down. Select normal for a marquee 'free. '

    Also, make sure that you don't have a pen (if should be + 0 px like in my picture).

    You can also right-click on the marquee in the options even bar and select "reset tool", if the steps above do not work.

    I hope this helps!

  • GREP to select the entire paragraph

    Hello

    I had a search around on these forums and cannot find a solution to my problem and I was wondering if you could help.

    Basically, I was starting to use GREP in style sheets to make some of my layout work is much easier, but have encountered a small problem. I'm working on the search criteria to select (and change the style of) an entire paragraph in one area of text doublet with multiple paragraphs with a single stylesheet applied. This specific paragraph always starts with "it is expected...". "but the rest of the paragraph may always vary. I'm very new to this so a combination to try the positive Lookahead CTE never seems to bring all the results I'm after.

    Hope this is enough information and would appreciate any suggestions.

    This GREP will find & select the whole paragraph:

    ^It is expected.+$
    

    ..  If you only need to apply a new paragraph style, you don't have to 'select' the whole paragraph, and

    ^It is expected
    

    (anything from this string). You don't have to select the entire paragraph, because it is simply not possible to assign a paragraph style to 'just the found text.

    But - on the other hand...

    I was starting to use GREP in style sheets

    -you're talking about GREP styles? If so, you need the expression 'full' but you must remember that you cannot change the paragraph style.

  • iTunes command-L shows the current song and selects the entire library

    I am running iTunes on OS 10.10.5 12.4.1.6.  command-L takes me to the current song, but select the entire library to play the next song.  In other words, if I chose a genre, artist or album to play and I command-L to see the current song, iTunes deselects the genre, artist or album and selects rather my entire library to play the next song.  command-L did not work that way - the genre, artist or album has been selected and the next song played would continue to be of the type selected, artist or album.

    Someone has a solution for this, or is this a bug in iTunes 12.x.x?

    Hello jjnorris,

    Thanks for this info. I know that having the command-L keyboard shortcut doesn't work only in iTunes isn't the Apple experience you expect. Command-L should show the currently playing song in the list according to shortcuts - using iTunes Web site.

    After testing, I wasn't able to reproduce your problem in the same version as yours. The next step would be to re - install iTunes for this refining: OS X Yosemite: reinstall the applications that came with your Mac

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.

  • Clicking on a video clip selects the entire clip, rather than the range.  I did the update and it still happens.  Help!

    Problem * by clicking on a video clip selects the entire clip, instead of cuisiniere.* *.

    I restarted my computer like new.  Lost the iMovie app.  Re downloaded in the App Store.  Now I have a crappy iMovie on the App Store application.  Then I made, I got the updated version and I did.  Always update does not resolve the problem.  I'm sucking in a hole because I need to make new videos for work and I can't.  In addition, I'm too broke to buy Final Cut.  In addition, all apple stores have a waiting list of 5 days before they see you!  Thank you Apple with a 6 bites taken out of it!

    I had a similar problem and it was driving me crazy. I think you press and hold the 'R' key now to select a range, otherwise, it will select the whole clip. I think it's a goal a feature and not a bug? Hope that helps!

  • After playing a game changes the resolution of the entire screen.

    Original title: display

    Hello.

    2 months ago I bought a new computer (dell Inspiron 15r is).
    everything worked fine, but yesterday I was playing a game in a depression
    resolution because she had taken the late 1920 x 1080.
    Suddenly the games has been closed and my office was small and there was a black border
    on all 4 sides. I have reset the resolution 1920 x 1080 and the Office was ok.
    but whenever I want to play a game in a solution more than 1920 x 1080, the game screen is low
    with black borders on the side of all 4.
    so, how can I play games in a lower resolution, but in full screen?
    thx for your help! :)

    The display depends on the driver control panel

    There should be an option in the software driver to find out what to do on the non optimal resolutions
    Tense (covers the entire screen) / Keep Aspect Ratio (extend the screen without breaking the report l / h) / no change (display will be the size of resolution)

    If I want to change something in my videos, should I make the entire video again?

    Hello

    Yes, when you change something on a video, then you must make one more time because the change is applied to the entire clip.

    If you have several clips on a timeline and and you make changes on a particular item, then just re - make this clip, all other elements will not be changed.

    Kind regards

    Hi SepetMTJ22,

    I'll try to look at the suggestions of Charles. It is very likely that you have a full or empty layer selected, choose everything for you:

    Or you have a size of the sample that is too big, make sure that you have defined in a small enough sample point. One is recommended.

  • Dreamweaver allows us to change destination, a link throughout the ENTIRE cluster ofPages?

    I have a link to an external site across the entire cluster of pages on my site.   Is there a command in Dreamweaver CS5 that would allow me to change this link as it appears throughout the entire cluster of pages, at the same time?    That of course would save me a lot of time if it can be done without me having to make the change manually and individually, on a basis of page by page.   Maybe something like this command exists, perhaps?

    "Change all occurrences of the following address of the _ the _ throughout the entire site.

    Suggestions, please?

    Dreamweaver allows three different methods to do so.

    As suggested, you can use the code server to call a page of text you are simply editing in one place.

    Also, as suggested, we can use of Dreamweaver Find and replace tool to replace all occurrences of a particular link. If you are looking for it in the source code, you must be very careful on how you specify what to search for and exactly what you want the replacement code.

    Finally, I started using templates for stuff with recurring information throughout a Web site. Things like the navigation, footers, headers and so on are very useful to automate a change in recurring content. If you have a link to the page that changes in navigation, if you have a model that manages that in all the pages, change you it once and Dreamweaver will ask you if you want to update all files based on this template. Answer 'Yes' and the page any changes will be made.

    Pages can be linked to only one model and it should nest templates.

    So, to fully answer your question, Yes. There are three methods at your disposal.
