Layer mask changes the colors

Hey!

If I have

  • Start a new file in Photoshop in RGB Mode
  • Create a new layer and fill it with RGB = (8,8,8)
  • Add a mask
  • Copy the (8,8,8) color (strg + a, Ctrl + c), then paste it into the mask layer (alt + click, Ctrl + v)

What I get is not a - plain - color (8,8,8) in the mask, but a picture raster with (7,7,7) and (9,9,9).

Can someone explain this strange behavior for me? It's just a bug in my version (CS6 13.0.1)?

Bonus question:

  • In view of this strange behavior: How can I turn a picture exactly in a mask layer?

This is how Photoshop. RGB to copy then paste into a single channel, for example, a mask or alpha channel will involve conversion of document RGB profile in grayscale, working space profile (as defined in Edit > color settings).

If a doc has sRGB profile and grayscale working space is sGray, or doc a profile Adobe RGB and grayscale working space is Gamma 2.2, gray values RGB will be then copy and paste into a mask without changing the value.

In any case, if you copy a single color channel, say R, then that can be pasted into a mask and values will not change.

  • How to change the color of the same element in different layers?

    How to:

    Hello! I'm new to Photoshop. I try to have 4-5 layers of the same item, but in different colors. I can't find how to 'fix' these layers so they don't change all at the same time when I use a tool to change the color. Thanks for your help!

    If that's what you have in mind:

    Fig 2. Dupe of image and create a mask so that when you change the color of the object, the preponderance of the image remains unchanged.

    Then, change the color

    Fig. 3. Dupe of the layer, disable the bottom layer (for easy reference layer) and change the color (note the eye in the layers panel)

    Fig 4. Repeat steps.

    By turning layers on and off you will see their effect.

    When you're done, check out a feature called layers. It allows you to sequence through versions with a single click.

  • Need to change the color of the model

    I realized a customer to a model site and they chose a model that has been a PSD (attached) and I turned into a working site. Now, they say they want it to be blue instead of green it is. I don't know where to start. I guess I need to go to each layer and change the color of a variant of blue. Is there a quick way to do it? I don't know yet how to change colors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    You don't need to do this for each layer. Only those with the color of the Web page elements and only those that are visible. (eyeball on in the layers panel)

    When you select the layer, and then you go to the Image menu, settings and select Variations. You can interactively experiment until you find what's best.

    My layer thumbnails are large so I can see at a glance what I look at. Use the layers panel menu to display Options Panel and select large thumbnails.

    Of course save this model before loading in the PS, in case you should do more.

    That should help you get started.

    When you work on an image editing in Photoshop CC 2015, the layer in the layers panel highlighted is a gray color.  In tutorials, it appears as blue.  How can I change the color in my layers panel so the highlight layer is blue, not gray?

    I don't think there is an option to set the highlight color for the selected layer - the shift from blue to gray was introduced between 2014 Ps and Ps 2015, tutorials where you see the highlighted in blue are probably just be using an older version of Photoshop.

  • change the color of text blocks only the active layer

    Well my script to change the color of the text frame changes the color of all the blocks of text hidden or not.

    I need to change only the visible text blocks.

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    newCMYKColor = new CMYKColor();

    newCMYKColor.black = 0;

    newCMYKColor.cyan = 0;

    newCMYKColor.magenta = 0;

    newCMYKColor.yellow = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

    textArtRange = app.activeDocument.textFrames [i] .textRange;

    textArtRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newCMYKColor;

    }

    }

    Any ideas on how the way only change the color of the text on the active layer blocks? In the final script I want to hide all other layers so if it could be done by a visible attribute more easily that would work just as well.

    Thank you

    Duane Leach

    Hello

    It will work for you?  Have not tested much beyond text blocks in groups and those who are just stand-alone on the layer.

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    var thisDoc = app.activeDocument;

    newCMYKColor = new CMYKColor();

    newCMYKColor.black = 00;

    newCMYKColor.cyan = 40;

    newCMYKColor.magenta = 50;

    newCMYKColor.yellow = 50;

    Need to retrieve blocks of text within the groups on the layer.

    var artSel = thisDoc.activeLayer.groupItems;

    for (i = 0; i<>

    If (artSel [i] .hidden == false) {}

    var text = .textFrames artSel [i];

    for (j = 0; j<>

    text [j].textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newCMYKColor;

    }

    }

    End to change the rest of the outside groups text boxes.

    var textArtRange = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textFrames;

    for (k = 0; k<>

    If (textArtRange [k] .hidden is false)

    textArtRange [k].textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newCMYKColor

    I created the link for each text element in a layer window. When the visitor clicks on the line of text, a picture of the popup element.
