In any case to select and distribute the layer MASK?

First of all:

Bravo to adobe and being the scourge never in my professional life.

Now:

I want to use the button "Distribute Horizontal centers" to space out perfectly a few places I've hidden with images inside. There are six in a row (he is a Web browser) and they are each in a group with a text layer, a button that covers the image, and the image itself which is hidden for a square perfect with an edge effect.

Naturally, when I select each group, even with the direct Selection, the value 'group' tool, distribute botches royally just work.

Of course, I can order select each layer, but it is not to distribute what is visually shown, but all of the content of what is hidden, and seeing that I can't not order select each mask, it makes a selection, I turned to what to do. And no, I don't want to flatten each tile because I want to keep the raw nature of the adjustments and other file.

Yes.

I created a shape object, live text and a masked image. Created groups, related to all elements inside each respective group, selected all 3 groups and clicked p "distribute horizontal centers.  Worked fine, I understand your dilemma.

  • Changes to the selection without affecting the layer mask

    Hello

    I've hidden an image selection using the lasso tool. Added an adjustment layer (exhibition) and reduced the exposure. And then refined at the edge. Any fine. I add the layer to selection, and then click change the mask with the lasso to add and subtract the mask tool. I change the setting - raise or lower the exposure - but only the previous selection is affected - even if the framing box clearly shows the changes made to the selection.

    I need to create a new layer of setting each time so that it can work properly.

    Is - this usual? I thought that one could just edit the mask and then changes are applied automatically?

    Thank you

    Jez

    When you have a selection and create an adjustment layer, selection is enabled in the mask, so there is no longer a choice. By clicking on add a new selection to the selection at this point to this fact and does not add to the mask. You must use this selection and add fill it with white, black or a shade of gray that will then be used to request that the amount of the correction of the adjustment layer. If you want two different settings with different selections, then you will need to make two different adjustment layers.

  • Select and hide the query

    In Photoshop CC when I use select and hide the 'onion skin' filter does only rarely. Any suggestions as to why this could be?

    Works perfectly! I'm wondering now if I had the - ticked instead of +. Seems as if could be the answer and if it does not work in the future I'll check everything here first. Thanks for your time and your help.

  • Can I change amortization and distribute the calendar in the window controls of book?

    Hi all

    I use the FA module.
    I tried to find it on the documentation, but I found it. I need to know if I can change the depreciation and distribute the calendar on the book controls window?
    If it is possible to change this information, please tell me how I can do this, or if there is any option to profile for this purpose.



    Thank you and best regards
    Ernest

    Impossible to change depreciation and distribute the calendar at the level of the book, in this way is not taken in charge and I think that a hard-coded update does not work.
    If you change these, you must put in place a new asset book and migrate existing data in this book

    Since you are faced with a design problem with the play on words with friends on facebook, I suggest you to contact the administrator of the game to get more information about the compatibility of the game in Windows RT. You can also ask if they provide latest app for the particular game.

    With the Brush tool selected paint just in the black and white view and this is equivalent to paint with white. Now the alt key or option is equivalent to paint with black.

  • 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?

    Hello, I want to make an outline of the text that I created.  I started with a blue background.  Then, I created a text and changed the color of gold.  I then put on an image and used the clipping mask to show the image by the text. Problem is it gets rid of color and shows that the peak through the text.  I wanted a draft of the text with the picture.  Is this possible?

  • Script to add the layer mask to all layers but the background?

    I have been a professional editor/Retoucher for photographers for the past three years. I use a lot of stock, but I've never branched in scripts so far. I am trying to refine my workflow and scripts to not appear to be the next logical step.

    I do a lot of work in the interiors, which is essentially manual HDR. Here's my current generation process, which I would love to find a way to script. I tried to be very clear, but let me know if it needs to expand. I use Photoshop CS5.

    1. pull brackets, color corrected TIFF in Bridge.

    2 re-order as needed, with the main exhibition downstairs. Click on 'Tools' > 'Photoshop' > 'Charge in the form of layers Photoshop"to get a PSD with layers in the correct order and main as exposure layer from bottom (base).

    3. manually go through each layer and add a layer mask hide all each layer except the background layer.

    4. Save as a PSD, using the original name of the background layer as the file name. To do this, I just copy the name of the layer (example.tiff), paste in the Save dialog box and then use the drop-down menu to select PSD (save as example.psd).

    I hope to automate steps 3 and 4 as they are the majority of your time for me. Any contribution is appreciated!

    Thanks again.

    Yes, your change is good.  This way the last layer will not have a mask applied.  I wasn't sure if you wanted that, but in the control for the background layer.

    Regarding the economy, what file format would you save on?  Here's how to save a psd:

    docRef var = activeDocument

    var doneFolder = new Folder('/c/photos/')

    var NomCouche = docRef.activeLayer.name

    var psdOptions = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();

    psdOptions.layers = true;

    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;//include this line if you want that the coming dialog box.

    docRef.saveAs (new file (doneFolder + "/" + NomCouche + ".psd"), psdOptions);

    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;//Resets at ALL - you won't let it work on.

  • How to create the layer mask using ellipse (circle) to show the face of the watch only?

    just stuck - see how to get a job of layer mask using a brush, but can not get by with the help of an ellipse

    What I'm after is:

    * Start simple watch, with the face and band by photo

    * want to apply a layer, so the only thing I see the circular face of the watch (no tape etc.) and that the base is clear (alpha)

    May I ask what are the instructions step by step to achieve this goal by using layer masks & ellipse tool?  (i.e. not having to manually paint around the dial)

    Here's the original image:

    1. Make a copy of the background and work on this copy of background layer.
    2. Use the elliptical selection tool, hold down the SHIFT key to draw a circular selection:
    3. Select use (on the menu bar)... Transform the selection to move the selection, and drag the sides of the selection at the edges of the dial:
    4. After you click the green check mark, use the selection... Inverse to select all items except the dial of the watch and press your delete key to remove such things:
    5. Your layers look like this:

    Alternatively, if you want to use a mask, after step #3 hit the icon 'Mask' at the bottom of the Palette layers to create a mask layer automatically by using the selection:

  • White color on the layer mask does not

    Well, I have a problem... Each setting is fine, but when I open the layer mask on a layer, and if I have the black brush, it works very well, BUT if I brush white, it does not work. It's like the color white is on 0% opacity. It shows me an action in "history, but it's like I'm not even brushing."
    Now, when I want white brush, I switched layer mask, brush black and then I reverse again, because as I said, the white color just doesn't work...
    -Colours btw, work not in a layer mask

    Is the Mode in the Options bar to brush on something other than normal?

  • Opacity of the layer mask Photoshop in AE

    I have a series of PSD files each with a layer mask with a default opacity of 100%. PS, I change the 'density' of the layer of about 15% in order to achieve the desired result. Either way, the layer mask is also an inactive Alpha channel.

    My question is that when I include the series of the PSD AE as-is, the layer mask is available as a black. It doesn't seem to be a way adjust the density of the mask as in Photoshop. I tried to use an alpha channel and track matte, but no luck. The main PSD file has the default active layer apparently mask with no way to change it.

    Maybe I'll have to put in place an action on PSD files?

    Thank you.

    AE is not layer masks as separate channels, it uses only the calculated pixel opacity. Simply, you cannot use this method. Rasterize your stuff to separate the layers.
