• How to use the external swf semi-transparent mask?

  I want to use the external swf semi-transparent mask for the smooth transition. I use

  clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  clip.setMask (mask);

  Everything works fine. But when I use

  loadMovie ("http://www.url.com/movie.swf", "_root.clip");

  clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  clip.setMask (mask);

  It does not work... What am I doing wrong?

  Well, if your loadMovie is on the same timeline as the code that you set as a mask, then you need not _root.

  And sorry, I forgot, there was a problem with the main mc of masking that loadMovie is load in. While I was doing was putting clip inside another mc and called as well as mc 'container' then my code would look like:

  masker.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  container.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  container.setMask (masker);

  container.clip.loadMovie ("movietoload.swf");

  Download two attached SWF files and open the main.swf to see.

• How to move the layer behind the mask?

  Basically I want the text layer is placed behind the mask, but when I try to do the mask moves with the layer, but I want the mask to stay put?

  You can also use a matte, animating the underlying layer and leaving the stationary track matte.

• Change in behavior of the option-click on the layer Photoshop CC - layers now flatten/disappear

  I used the option click on layers all the time to perform various tasks. Now, in Photoshop 2014.2.2 CC I can no longer option + click on a layer to copy a layer effect or apply a clipping mask. Instead, as soon as I click on a layer with the option engaged, key all layers disappear / flatten in a "background layer".

  What has changed? And how can I now copy effects from one layer to another layer? The documentation says 'drag to the destination layer', but this simply moves the effect from one layer to another, does not copy it. Dragging allows you to copy an effect, but now, any use of the option key flattens all the layers together.

  Ehh, that shouldn't happen. I just used this feature in Photoshop CC 2014 and it worked fine. Maybe you should try a reset preference: Hold Cmd + Opt + shift as you start Photoshop start. Select 'Yes' when asked if you want to continue with reset.

• How can I fix the harvest? When I crop my photos and click OK, the layer no longer displays the resulting photo - just a dark gray background.

  Can someone help me to solve my problem of culture? I hit either a key that I wasn't supposed to hit accidentally, or software needs to be fixed or reset.  If I reset or reinstall the software (Photoshop Elements Organizer + 10), all my photos by category in the Organizer are lost with the new installation?

  I have three screenshots to show my problem.

  The first is the page before making any changes cultures:

  

  The following shows the beginning of making culture, before you click the green check mark to accept the culture. Note that the photos are still intact and visible in the layers:

  

  And when I accept the culture (by clicking the green check mark), below is the view from my new layers resulting (the photo is here):

  

  As you know, I should see what the resulting cropped photo by two layers: not a game grayed out of boxes.

  How can I fix to get the crop feature to work?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

• Using the layer mask in Photoshop CC 2015?

  Hello!

  I'm trying to iron out some unsightly underarm in Photoshop CC 2015.

  I duplicated the layer and applied Surface blur.

  I clicked on the layer of the dup, while pressing option (using a Mac) to create a layer mask where I could brush the blur in but nothing happens. What I'm missing here?

  Thank you!

  Confirm:

  The blurred version is on a layer above the background image

  The version hazy layer has a black mask

  You paint the mask in white with the brush opacity Normal and 100% value

  The Brush tool is not too much to feathers. (To check, use brush hard edge as a test)

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

  Thank you

  Marc

  From what I remember of the CS6, it's the same CC follow these steps: in the layers palette, click on Panel options

  

  Click on the larger thumbnail

  

  The layer mask should now be big enough to see. Otherwise, you need to display it on the screen by alt clicking on

  on a PC option by clicking on the layer mask on a Mac

  

• I can't click on a layer for editing mask. CS6 OS10.10

  I worked on a file, and all of a sudden I can't click on a layer mask to be able to modify this mask. I'm still able to do the following:

  • Create a new adjustment layer. When I do cela a new mask is trained for this layer and automatically selected for editing. I can modify this mask. As soon as I click out of it that I can't come back.
  • I am able to shift + click and command-click on the layer masks and get these options/selections.
  • I can't drag a mask existing to a new adjustment layer.
  • Hide/show the mask collection
  • Almost everything, but click ON the mask and selected for editing.

  I tried the following:

  • Close and reopen the file.
  • Restart photoshop.
  • Restarting my computer.
  • Delete/recreate the preference files.

  Any ideas out there?

  I discovered my problem trying to paint on everything I was selected on. He forecast the mask overlay. I thought about it and realized that I must have hit the key 'Q' and put me in quick mask mode.

  So now, it's here in case someone else makes this error! :-)

• 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,

  Toby

  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.

• can not select or modify the layer in CS5.1 extended mask

  In our class, we have photoshop CS5 on Mac

  I started a class project, which involves the creation of a layer mask. I was about done with the mask, but brought home at the end I opened the file on my WIN XP works photoshop CS5.1 extended, which I installed this morning. In class, I was able to click on the mask to select, then use the brush to change the details, the white or black paint if necessary to refine the edge.

  When I put the original .psd file and opened in the new version of Photoshop, it doesn't allow me to select the mask for the edition. I selected the layer and then clicked on the thumbnail of the mask in the pallet layer but didn't see the contours of the corner, which usually appear when the thumbnail of the layer is selected. When I tried brushing up on what I thought, it was the mask (on the selected layer), I got the pink overlay as usually seen in the quick mask. (foreground and background are black and white colors).

  V5.1 behaves differently with masks of v5.0? I do not change the factory default settings and in the classroom, it is a common practice to restore the value by default when you start.

  any ideas?

  It is not supposed to be a difference in how Photoshop CS5.1 works compared to CS5.

  Normally, you click on the layer mask icon in the LAYERS Panel, you see the contour change, then paint you on the mask.

  If you don't see quick out frozen, what happens if you press Q, then clear any selection and click on the layer mask icon again?

• Photoshop opens the dialog box when you try to fill a layer with locked transparent pixels

  This script should set the layer to lock transparent pixels and then fill the layer with a color. She is doing this, except when it is in the filling phase, it opens the dialog box fill, and you have to hit OK.

  If you omit the transparent pixel line, it works as not expected, no dialog boxes.

  Is there a way to remove the box? Or I'm doing something wrong, which is causing the box to open?

  #target photoshop
  app.bringToFront();
  
  doc = app.activeDocument;
  doc.artLayers[0].isBackgroundLayer = false;
  doc.artLayers[0].transparentPixelsLocked = true;
  app.activeDocument.selection.fill(app.foregroundColor); 
  

  Not sure why this is happening.

  But I would recommend blocking the above and using the AM code for a fill that pays tribute to transparency.

  #target photoshop

  app.bringToFront ();

  doc = app.activeDocument;

  doc.artLayers [0] .isBackgroundLayer = false;

  doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers [0];

• Transparency mask changed from white to black

  All brand new to Photoshop:

  White and yellow stripes with the download of Adobe Stock.  When opened in Photoshop, becomes yellow and transparent.  This is not what I want.  Found online fix to go to layer > layer mask > transparency to create another mask, I guess.  Next step for my first few tests of this were to right click on the layer mask and the "pouf", the layer now has yellow and white stripes.  Impressive... When you are ready to use.  God forbid that we go back to try again, now he wants to load the yellow strips and BLACK when I chose "transparency" and am now ready to gift of all my goods and re - found in the depths of hell for a little peace and quite.  Please help someone.  New fans of speed on YouTube are so no help unless you are a developer of expert lever and already can predict where it mouse will be.

  When printing, there is no difference between white and transparent. However, when the object is on top of the other active then it will be question.

  For example, create a new layer fill with white, then move the layer under object.

  You now have a yellow and white object.

  To make it permanent, flatten your layers.

  Or save in jpg format because it does not support transparency, you white.

• Challenge for the layer PSD AE

  Hello.

  I'm usually into art (a drawing of a dancer for example) PS creating several coppies layer and adding a layer on each mask to define the part of the body (leg, for example). Then I import the PSD in AE as a composition by taking care to "preserve layer sizes. Then I put the anchor points, relatives and animate. Sometimes, I'll be back in the PS and cleaning works of art, but the rest the same size - my rig AE layer mask depends on. I use this technique for more than a decade, so have learned the pain of one extra pixel shake a box size limit and spoil my puppet-rigging.

  When one of the latest AE CC x 12 came around, I started having an intermittent bug: I could rig PS layers like a puppet in AE and invoke the bug by adding an extra layer to my PSD... Just add a solid black layer under all my layers cut was enough to lift the anchor in AE... (Remove the solid layer and re-record non sleeved instead of the layers).

  To cut to AE CC 2014, and I realize that the bug was not only due to add and subtract layers. I tested AE 2014 with an existing 12 x AE project and saw that some of my manipulated puppets had screwed up variously anchor points. (Same project/puppet works in the old AE, but is sacked in 2014 EI). I thought: oh crud, 2014 broke something. But after a careful review of the sizes of layer (see screenshot), I realized that 2014 AE bed correctly the size of the layer.

  Great, this is a bug in previous versions, which has been corrected... Or was it? I have not read anything in the notes to this topic, and this small detail is essential to my process. Anyone know if it is an intentional fix to 2014 of EI, or if the intermittent problem of import with the previous version still exists, and I have yet met with AE 2014?

  My intuition is that AE and/or PS changed how a mask layer or transparency in Photoshop translates the size of a bounding box in After Effects. Someone at - he glimpses of developments with layer masks, delimiting the areas or transparencies that could have caused what I feel?

  Thanks in advance,

  Joaquim, got the .aep. I can reproduce the problem.

  Good news: there is an easy solution. Right-click on the "Layer 0 copy" layer and choose replace images. Choose the original PSD and the same layer as the replacement.

  This .aep file has been created in After Effects CS5 (10.0.1), something I should have realized if I paid attention when you said "appeared in 2011". (CS6 is released in 2012). I created a new project in After Effects CS5 (10.0.2) with your PSD but do not reproduce the problem, when I opened this project in after effects CC 2014.2.

  So for now, assuming that my workaround above is the case for you, I'm going to it until a possible file bad piece of chalk and close the case. Maybe it has something to do with the difference between 10.0.1 and 10.0.2, but which has been so long that I don't remember what bugs have been fixed. Let me know if you continue to have problems.
