Gum changing from white to black on the layer mask, leaving the image transparent.

I used the following method in CS5 to erase parts of a layer/bring these pieces back again if necessary. It works in the same way after that I upgraded to CS6 (not sure if the version difference plays a role or not.)

What I'm doing here is blend two layers that overlap in one of the other

1. create the layer to the top layer mask

2. Select pure white in the color selection window

3 select the Eraser tool, set the opacity to 30%, 50%, flow 100% hardness

4. Select hide, erasing the edges of the image where there is overlap to eliminate hard edges and merge the images into another

5. when I need to highlight an area of the image at the top (one mixed), I pass the color pure black opacity set to 100%, hardness 100% and paint over the areas that I want to "undo" my deletion.

-Sometimes happens a lot after my initial deletion, so a simple cancellation or who goes back in history is not a possible solution at this moment here.

-Another note: I have to move over the other layers to align as much as possible, make the story do not brush useful in this case.

Previously, this would simply restore the image to where it was originally for this place, by removing completely all masking. Now, when I do this procedure, the area that I'm trying to "undo" is however, as if the opacity is set to a level lower than 100%. This poses problems because I want to have the completely opaque image at this stage.

Some other notes I hope to answer some questions that may arise in advance:

I haven't settled the opacity of one of my layer masks

I tried to do the same operation by using the Brush tool (with 100% opacity and hardness, using the opposite colors), with the same result

As we have earlier I don't know another effective way to achieve the same goal. I'd be happy to do it differently but if necessary.

All the layers in these documents are dynamic objects

Thank you!

I'm sorry it's so confusing. I guess the only reason why I use the Eraser tool is a vestige of when I was actually erase the image - and also I get the brush and Eraser different opacity value to quickly switch between them.

@Theresa actually, I didn't watch only the mask. Of course the mask was gray in the areas that I was talking about. But that lead me to realize that while the color picker looked purely black and white, I was working with a grayscale image, and it was in fact color and converted to looked at pure Grayscale black and white. I need to set the color of the brush at a certain point, when working in RGB (which I rarely do) and not realised.

Sorry for posting something with such a trivial response, but you all help me to understand thank you!

  • 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.

  • Why have all my colors suddenly changed - from white to cream yellow and all the other colors in the same way?

    Why have all my colors suddenly changed - from white to cream yellow and all the other colors in the same way?

  • Windows Vista does not start to change from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS

    Hi, I spent a lot of time to look at this problem online. I can't find a lot of google search results and they seem to say enter REGEDIT and change the "msahci" start to 0 and even the 'pciide', or 'iaStorV' start parameters to 0. But this does not work for me. The loading Windows with the loading bar screen Green just continues to go wrong and never Windows startup. I have Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

    I saw someone in this forum with a similar problem but they have upgraded to Win7 on a new installation to fix the problem, they spend on AHCI RAID. I contacted Intel technical support and they said to try HP or the manufacturer of the motherboard. I contacted Intel because I installed a 520 Intel Solid State Drive series and wanted to know if they had a driver to get the benefit of the AHCI instead of the IDE. I know that a lot of people recommend a new installation of Windows, but I don't have a Windows cd with this computer (my computer is here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00835809 )

    I tried to install this Microsoft fix too. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/922976

    I wonder if there is an AHCI driver, can I install it or what I can do to get the job of AHCI?

    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    I suggested that you create disks because you said that the computer came with any one and you could not re - install Windows as suggested a possible solution. With these records, you can the recovery of the system back to a factory State. Since you want to install a SSD or change a BIOS setting, these are the changes which can damage the system and require the use of recovery disks.

    If you want a Windows Vista 'clean' no HP Setup, please see Paul's response in this thread of the forum called "System Restore not working not not for HP Media Center Desktop PC. According to his instructions is expected to create a bootable Windows Vista installation disc. My only amendment to this method, is not to use the product key Microsoft Windows Vista on the COA on the side of your computer. Instead, I would like to "Save" the product key from factory OEM HP and HP OEM certificate using ' the Activation, backup and restore ' then 'restore' the certificate and the key to the new clean install of Vista. This will result in an installation clean factory activated that does not require Microsoft to activate. Be aware that the software HP added value will no longer be on your computer. If you want to use this software, you MUST create your personal HP recovery disks and copy the "SWSETUP" folder on your current installation of factory to an external support.

    Re-install Windows Vista, as shown above with the SATA BIOS settings set on AHCI you like will work 100% of the time. It should also install to SSDs, where HP recovery discs are known to fail.

  • White on black on the FM band, white on white in Acrobat...

    FrameMaker (Windows) 10.0.2.419

    Distiller X 10.1.245

    Acrobat X 10.1.2

    . EPS (illustrator) includes the area of legends, white on black text

    . FM resumes the same legend in the text frame style, using the character style (color, white; background black [some])

    Seems perfect on the screen, but the captions in text frame printed white on white in .pdf format

    Somehow the process of Acrobat may have to replicate what I see in FrameMaker? It would be nice...

    Niels,

    You use the RGB or CMYK option when creating the PDF file? White is set for masking or overlay? The EPS is a RGB or CMYK?

    You can try to create a black background in a text box (or just use a black rectangle) behind the white text instead of trying to use the background color of the style attribute. [IIRC, the FM10 version had oddities]

  • Photo appears in white (can not see the image) If you use camera raw filter in photoshop cc

    I have a new install of Photoshop CC on my macbook.  I'm running into a problem when you edit an image in Photoshop cc and using the camera raw filter.  If I choose the camera raw filter camera raw opens upward, but all I see is white - the image is not displayed in the interface of camera raw.  This happens whenever I'm working on a layer and apply the raw camera filter.  The only time it works is when I don't have all the layers, but only the image that it comes directly from the camera raw inside - then it works fine.  I'm guessing that there is I'm missing something really basic, but it's maddening!

    You are welcome.

    The Camera RAW filter will not work on a single adjustment layer. Select the layer with the image and the adjustment layer and convert it to dynamic object to apply the filter Camera RAW image with the applied adjustment layer.

  • White box appears where the images in the slide show should be!

    The flash swf slideshow, I inserted on my page Web works in dreamweaver, but when the downloaded appears as a white box without images. The files are saved on my root folder. Here is a link to the page:
    http://bryandowling.com/art.html. Here is the code:
    < object classid = "clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase ="" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7, 0,19,0 ' width = "600" height = "600" > "
    "< param name ="movie"value="/_mmServerScripts/gallery.swf "/ >
    < param name = "quality" value = "high" / >

    < / object >

    Yes, you will need to download all of the image files. The Gallery creates a reference to these images via a .xml file. I think that tiles usually go in a folder called "thumbnails" and images full resolution, go to a folder called 'images' in the same directory as the swf file. So... bryandowling.com/thumbnails/ and bryandowling.com/images respectively.

  • My icon Flash in Control Panel changed from red to black.

    I noticed a few weeks ago or more, when I opened my "Show all Control Panels" from Windows Explorer in Windows 8.1 RT for Surface RT, that after years of being red, it is now a black icon.  I had problems of piracy in the past and I was wondering if it is supposed to be that way.  If the only way to get the software for my RT Surface through the Microsoft Store downloads, so I wonder why my Windows Update did not do anything or nothing changed still.  It looks like this:

  • CS3 Mac: Text white becomes black when the file is reopened

    System: PowerBook G4, Illustrator CS3.0.2 and OS 10.4.11
    I have attached a sample (only 85ko) in this position, and there is a to http://homepage.Mac.com/tlmurray/filechute/WTTB_sample.AI . The sample has two layers. The background is black and locked; the top layer contains the text. This sequence illustrates the problem:
    1. Launch Illustrator and make sure that the Panel of colors and character Styles Panel are open, and you are in preview mode.
    2. Open the example file. It appears as a black rectangle.
    3. Select the text by area or by i-Beam, is not serious. The text covers the rectangle, so you can target anywhere.
    4. Note the character Style Panel. You will see that the Normal Character Style entry does not have a sign, Illustrator, says the text matches the style +.
    5. Redefine the Normal Character Style by double-clicking it, choose the color of characters and click the shade of white.
    6. The text becomes white.  Good so far.
    7. Save and close the file.
    8. Reopen the file. On my system, the text changes to black.

    Another similar sequence is to transform the white text by clicking on the white background in the color Panel or swatches, the accomplishment of a "Redefine character Style" in the list of options panels.

    Anyone see this? Y at - it a trick I'm missing?

    The problem isn't your Style of character!

    The problem is that your white is not a color.

    To see this, when you open your character styles and choose your "hue" white, is dimmed, since you can only color tint.

    To resolve this issue, double-click your white swatch so that it opens the box of color options. under the colour / spot color box check the option of 'Global' .

    Now, close the box options and go to you style of character and select white, you will notice color is now available.

    Close and save, problem solved

    He will explain why white resets, since illustrator does not recognize it as a color and the default values in black. However, every time you do one other color it is resolved and what makes the only consistent problem with the shade of white.

    Tested and worked for me.  Hope it solves for you.
