How to make a mask in Photoshop CS3?

I am very NEW to Adobe Photo Shop and I am trying to create a mask and have problems with the lasso selection and the Quick Selection tool. I read help with layers and masks and it seems quite simple: select the part you want and add or subtract to make the mask.  My problem is in the 'selection '.  I can not select only the part that I selected. I want to choose the high horizon of trees line and the bottom of the image.  But, after I saw the tops of the trees and try "lasso" the rest of the image, it snaps back up towards the top and I'm left with about 4 mm x 30 mm lassoed (instead of 30 x 30 mm).  I also tried to use the 'Quick Selection' tool and had better results with it, but I'm still left with a very bad tree line. Does just convenient?

It takes much more than a simple practice. There the tools and tricks of the trade.

I don't know what you do to get your selection of 'break' as you describe, but I would hazard to guess that the lasso tool is not the selection tool, you need to use in the first place. The quick selection tool is probably a better choice, but you don't need to make a selection that is perfect in the beginning. This is just the beginning.

Check out this tutorial and others, that you will find.

  • How to make a mask in Photoshop Touch?

    Is there a way to hide the parts of images in Photoshop Touch?

    Depends on the purpose. If you are looking, say, to make a mask of adjustment, you can do that. However, the masks are used to help refine the elements such as selections. (For example, to make a selection, and then press the selection button options (icon fourth from the top on the left) and choose "Refine Edge.")

    If you want to adjust the parameters like saturation or levels, try to duplicate the layer and then use Mode set the Brush tool on 'Effect' rather than 'Paint' and choose the desired effect. (Or just use the icons settings or effects to change the entire layer or selections on a layer).

  • How to print a custom from Photoshop CS3 size?

    I use Photoshop CS3 with system 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I print on an Epson Stylus Photo R2000. The custom paper size is 8.5 "x 14". When I print the page design seems to have expanded beyond the size of the paper. I need to make a borderless printing, so I can not just to reduce the image. What should I do?

    Thank you, gener7.

    I had already implemented the custom size. I discovered that the problem is that Photoshop or the Epson driver enlarges the image to print without margins. So, I had to do trial and error by testing the percentages under the fields "on the scale to fit media" manual until I finally understood. I appreciate your response.

  • How to make an invisible clip in CS3?

    Hello

    I know this sounds stupid, but I worked all the time with Flash MX and Flash 2004. Now I have CS3, and I want to do the following. I made an MP3 player, but I want to do a 'play' icon visible when the music plays and the icon of 'pause' visible when it is paused. For this purpose the 'play' icon should be invisible and vice versa. I have had this, but it gives an error:

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    pause_text._visible = false;
    play_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, showPlay);

    function showPlay(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
    play_text._visible = true;
    pause_text._visible = false;
    }

    pause_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, showPause);

    function showPause(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
    pause_text._visible = true;
    play_text._visible = false;
    }

    What I am doing wrong? In 2004 or MX, it was how to make invisible Clips. Help, please.

    Thanks in advance,

    Kind regards
    Ithiriel

    Cases which can be _property in AS2 are now property just in AS3. _X Yes is x, FLF is y and _visible is visible. This should work:

    function showPlay(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
    play_text. Visible = true;
    pause_text. Visible = false;
    }

  • How to make grids twisted in Photoshop

    I'm looking for a way to create a grid in Photoshop as in the image below (ignore the red lines). The key aspect of the grid, it's that, initially, it seems to be a regular 2D plane, it is actually indented in the Center. That said, I don't mind how this is done in Photoshop; all that matters is what it looks like.

    relativity_curved_space.jpg

    Ideally, I would also like to be able to change the lines of the grid of the same way I'm likely to change any other line (specifically, I need to be able to set the weight for the gridlines).


    I tried just above, use the image in Photoshop and design on it, but that gave me little or no control on the grid as a whole and looked terrible, not to mention the fact that I wasn't learning something new... so where is fun?


    Having never tried something like this before, any help would be greatly appreciated .

    Start by filling a doc with a grid. You can use a template for that, or there are the available actions that will make this interactively. For this example, I used a grid of 100 x 100 pixels, with a weight of a pixel.

    Image > Image Rotation > arbitrary, using 45 degrees. Select all and use the free transform to reduce the height. Use the filter Minimum or Maximum to increase the weight of the lines, as applicable, your grid is black or white.

    Finally, use the Liquify tool to pull down of a tooth:
