Gradient tool works only with layer masks...

Hello, I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert in photoshop by any means... but I usually managed to get my projects done with a bit of fusion.

At the moment I'm trying to fade out the last inches of a photograph, so it blends more into circles on which it is placed.

If I use the gradient tool, the value "in the foreground to Transparent" I get good effect, but instead of fading to transparent, happening in white... what doesn't work when I move the layer over a colored background.

I have read and watched many tutorials on this, and they say all create a layer mask, then use the gradient... but for some reason whenever I the mask of the selected layer the gradient tool will not work...

Can anyone give advice? I've been playing with this for hours...

And ensuring that the blending mode for the gradient tool is set to Normal.

    After the upgrade to Windows 10 Lightroom works only with reduced funktionality. Develop module is not available.  Adobe can not find the license associated with my Adobe why identification code?

  • DeskJet 722C works only with Windows 7

    OK, so I applied the DJ_Patch as described. (See http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-and/Deskjet-710-720-810-820-100-Series-prin... ) I have Windows 7, 64-bit and a HP Deskjet 722 C printer.  Tried to print the test page, but received the error from the printer.  Tried to add a printer, you are looking for the 722C, but it is not on the list, even tried to do Windows Update to search for my printer.   Tried to restart, which did not work or the other.  Still get error printer.  I appreciate any other suggestions.  BTW, the printer is connected via a USB to parallel port cable.

    My HP Deskjet 722C now works!  I spent several hours trying different things only to find out it was the cable use to connect the printer to our new computer.  He is there not a lot of info on the package of cable but if you watched closely he said it worked only with Win XP, me and Vista.  Who would have thought that the cable wasn't working with some BONE... me!  Once we went and bought a new cable ($40, Ouch!), we were running a few minutes.  I don't know that a cheaper cable is available online.

    I wanted to post this in the hope of saving someone money, time and frustration on the other.

  • CS6 Production Premium supports AMD graphics cards? Specifically over-pants M6100. If so, all the features work with the M6100, or are there features that work only with nVidia video cards?

    CS6 Production Premium supports AMD graphics cards? Specifically over-pants M6100. If so, all the features work with the M6100, or are there features that work only with nVidia video cards?

    CS6 does support OpenCL and OpenGL?

    Are all features that CS6 supports for NVidia Cuda available for the M6100 OpenCL?

    Bill supposed to first Pro CC (not CS6) response. Windows of Premiere Pro CS6 version does not support OpenCL for accelerating GPU of MPE. Therefore, there is no "opencl_supported_cards.txt" file in the folder of Premiere Pro, and the code to OpenCL is disabled permanently in all versions of Windows from Premiere Pro CS6. So, for your over-pants M6100 Premiere Pro CS6 will be permanently locked to only software MPE mode. (Acceleration GPU of MSES in the Windows of Premiere Pro CS6 version is limited to the CUDA only, which means that only NVIDIA for GPU - no AMD over-pants or GPU Radeon support CUDA at all.)

  • Error tool brush with layer masks

    I've identified a bug in layer mask in Photoshop for Mac 14.2.1. When you work with no vector layer masks, the Brush tool will not paint one value darker than the white level in the mask. For example:

    When a layer mask is created from the icon at the bottom of the layers window, the mask itself is white, representing a total visibility of the hidden layer. If you try to use the brush with 100% black (for in fact hide something in the layer there is), it does not work. I am able to use the bucket tool paint and pencil to fill in black mask tool, but not the Brush tool. If the mask is 67% gray, and my brush tool is set to 66% gray, it does not yet affect mask; White level cannot be decreased, not increased with the Brush tool. Bug!

    Your brush, blending mode is set to Normal?

  • Gradient tool allows only one side?

    I'm putting an edge faded on my picture.  I use the gradient tool.  I have the selected layer and you have added a mask.  With the selected master, I draw the gradient tool of border for about 1 inch.   Then, I go to the next side and repeat the process.  After I drew the second gradient, one disappears.  So I can't draw a gradient on all four sides.  I settings on the normal mix, 100% opacity and have checked the dithering and transparency.  I work in CS5 MAC 10.6 x.  I used the tool degraded for this simple process before and cannot determine what setting has been done which limit myself to the use of a gradient on 1 side only.   Help

    Use black to transparent gradient, not the black and white gradient.
