Layer mask not 100 percent

I used the quick mask in Photoshop CS6 to lift a selection from a photograph very busy on a new layer, so I could refine the mask. I added a layer based on the selection mask and mask the unwanted parts. Then, I click with the right button on the image of the layer and chose to select pixels and to my surprise what has been selected, it was what I first copied in the new layer. The area that I added to the master showed that it was transparent, but it wasn't somehow. I checked my brush to ensure that the merger was normal and opacity and hardness was 100% and that black was 0, 0, 0 RGB or K = 100%. After deaf and hit around and provision of oath, I arrived at a work around, but it looked kludgy. What I'm fighting against?

"Select Pixels" does not take into account of layer masks.

cmd-alt-shift-click on icon in the Panel layer mask layers would intersect it with an existing selection (if you can have meant with workaround).

  • Paste an image into a layer mask does not work even after several approaches

    I can't paste an image into a layer mask. I tried to keep 'option' by clicking on the layer mask (to activate the white), then "Control + V" to paste the image but it still places the image in a new layer. I tried to paste through the Palette layers without success (pasta in a new layer). I tried to use past special from the Edit menu, but the past command is grayed out. Any ideas for why it does not work for me?

  • CC 2015 Photoshop layer mask does not?

    I've recently updated to CC in Photoshop, but I have problems with layer masks, I created the mask layer, and when I paint with my black brush, it does not block the area completely, it will leave the remains of the image essentially, it leaves an opaque shape. I check that my brush is set to normal and my layer is set to normal. I have reset the brushes, I tried implementing new photoshop documents, but it makes no difference. Can anyone help please see the example below, the Red is a layer below the layer of the image that has applied the layer mask.

  • layer masks work does not correctly

    Help

    I use the layer mask, and all my settings are correct. The brush still shows the image, even if I'm brushing the image. What is going on?!!!

    Hello

    I was able to understand this madness.

    If you click color, and then click on the sliders in grayscale. You will see if your black is 100%. Which fixed the problem on my end. thanks for all the advice.

  • 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?

  • Layer mask works not properly on CS5

    Hello world

    I had this problem for a few days and still have not found a solution.


    Here's what happens: my layer mask has suddenly stopped working properly. Even if all properties are set to the right, the result of mask is sort of bland bland of the thing.


    wut.jpg

    No one knows what might happen?

    Thanks to you all.

    Have you done that in striking D and X?

    As CS5 already has the properties panel where you can change the density of a layer mask?

  • Black brush on the layer mask works not. Please help.

    I have been using CS6 for some time now.  6 CS decided that I can't use my black brush on a white layer mask. Not at all. I can use that white on a black mask, but not black I.  I restarted the computer, but I'm annoyed. Anyone have this problem?  Solutions?  I'm so over my head with photos at the end... It would be my great weekend to night work.

    Look at the Options bar. Is the brush in Normal blending mode?

  • Choice of adjustments CS5 is not automatic pop-up layer mask

    I'm new to Photoshop (CS5) and do not see the auto-hide layer appear when I choose Control Panel settings (I have to create one in a separate step). Is the automatic function something I need to turn on?

    Do you mean that a layer mask is not added during an adjustment layer in the settings panel?

    If so, check the mask adds by default in the settings panel flyout menu.

  • Layer mask does not properly clear?

    When clear it was beautiful,

    the problem is when I want to recover the pieces that I deleted. It becomes translucent (or less opacity) rather than its original T ^ T

    If someone knows how to fix this please tell me! I use layer mask forever and I always use it, this isn't the same without it working properly T ^ T

    My first idea, see these differences: black and gray?

    Have you applied with a gray brush and the other with a black brush?

  • Paint on layer masks does not work?

    Hi, I'm working on a work of Digital Art classes... Deadline tomorrow, I left it quite late because I knew what to do, and he was out in my head on how to do it. And behold, I encountered a problem with paint on a layer mask.

    I did a form (Magenta, so I know I paint on the correct layer) and have selected layer mask, but when I try to paint black on it to give it a bit of shading is as if she is wiping out so I can see the layer behind it, even though I see that it is indeed drawing anywhere in the mask layer in the layers panel anyway?

    Until something happens, I'll just go try and find an alternative

    Any help is appreciated!

    Painting on the layer mask with black going to 'clear' of the image.  That's the whole point of a layer mask.  If you want to shade it (non-distructively) then create a new layer above that layer and hang it on her, pressing alt/opt clicking on between the layers in the layer panel.  Then you can paint black on the new layer, and it will be displayed only when the lower layer's pixels.  You can then change it without messing up the base layer.
