Layers and masks

• Pixelation continues with confined comps, 3D layers and caches

  I have a project consisting only of objects HAVE contained in comps, used with 3D and I have a similar problem to many I've seen on this forum, but I tried all the solutions provided without result.

  The lowest model level are a few layers to HAVE that are animated to the comp. appeal he comp A.

  Two copies of model A are in comp B, each track stuck with another layer of HAVE.

  Model B five copies are in C comp.

  Model C is placed repeatedly in 3D space in the main computer where a camera moves beyond.

  All vector layers are 3D and set its CR

  All the layers of the model are in 3D and NOT worth CT

  Without the appropriate parameters for CR/CT, caches everywhere drag (but rasterization of things well).

  WITH the settings above, nothing not rasterized correctly (but the caches work). The compositions appear returned to the original format of the model A, which is highly pixelated (or blurred with quality facing up) that the camera is moving beyond.

  I tried precomposition caches and their objects contained in comp B in their own model (also according to settings above) and got no change.

  Of course, with hindsight, I could have climbed A comps objects, B and C, but at this time the project is in the final stage and I am wary of all the settings needed to go this route (it also seems like a very bad way to go about working with vector graphics).

  Can anyone help, or it's just the way that is AE? (I'm experienced enough, but 1 year <.)

  Thank you for this forum.

  Here's what you're probably missing. We're going to implement something very simple. You have a hand Comp and a PreComp. The main computer contains the PreComp and a camera. The PreComp contains only single-layer - TestShape which is a 20 X 20 pixel solid red and he has a circular mask applied so that it looks like a point. When you add a mask to a solid you've essentially turned this vector layer in a layer.

  Let's go through a certain number of things in the PreComp. With the fist, TestShape 600% globally and look at the edges. They are a mess. Turn on continuous rasterization and they are perfect.

  Look at the model of the hand and intensify the layer PreComp 600%, and the terrible aspect of the edges. Turn on the Transformations of the collapse and the edge is sharp.

  Note that I used two different terms for the same key. Collapse Transformations only applies to layers that are compositions. This means that elements inside this composition are treated as if they were in the main computer. In other words when the collapse Transformations is applied we are scaling of the TestShape layer 600%, then who still 600% effectively making the layer 3600% greater. Who do you follow? It is important.

  Now back to the PreComp and add a solid second blue circular 20 X 20 with a mask. Call the Blue Solid 2 TestShape and make it 3D and turn on CR. Add a camera to the comp. Adjust the z value of the layer 2 TestShape so that the layer is about the same size as the 2D TestLayer. If the layer of TestShape is proportional to 600%, then the position of the Z TestLayer 2 will be about 80% of the value of the camera Zoom. Now the position of the camera X just a little to the right in order to have a blue circle overlapping a red circle in your COMP. Turning CR on and off the layer of TestShape 2 to see how it works. Pass the TestShape layer 2 more near the camera is exactly as the scaling of the layer.

  Now return to your hand Comp. With CT turned on, you should see only the blue circle. This is because CT is ignorant of the camera in the nested model and using only the Active camera in the MainComp. Disable the CT and you will see what you see in the demo, but the edges will be soft. The only way to get the same point across in two compositions is to copy the camera in the PreComp and paste it into the nested model.

  Here is one more interesting thing happens. If you do the PreComp one 3D layer it will multiply the value of the position of all 3D layers in the PreComp making camera movements to an interesting but impossible to deal with. In this example if you were to make 3D PreComp it would look like the blue layer has disappeared, but simply move the camera back and it will appear again.

  Now let's add a matte by creating a new rectangular solid that is 1000 pixels wide and 200 pixels high and add a mask elliptical. This 600% increase scale use as a matte and turn on or off the CR. The results should be predictable. If you make a layer of mast track 3D move the Z position will not affect what is frosted and outside in the nested model. If you had 2 3D layers in the nested model you cannot move the cache by approach between the two 3D layers and mask only one of them.

  I hope this helps. This is a good exercise to help you understand how CT and CR. Beginning throw in effects and learn more.

• Me once again with the same image and issues/considerations on refining and mask

  Hi friends,

  I am stubborn and even knowing that it is not a good background to extract I wonder what I am doing wrong to get this terrible selection with the new tool "refine and mask.

  How to clean stains from white and gray? Is this a bug in Photoshop? Yes, if I use the Brush tool I can clean but is not easy to do that around the hair where I thought I could use the tool to refine, but it just does not work like the previous "refine edge".

  Method you use to delete this background?

  In a few minutes:

  

  Quickly would be to lasso. (I like to use the Lasso tool in these cases a lot because it's faster to deal with the Quick Selection tool).

  

  I like to alternate between black & white and onion skin much to compare. (It's a bit like compare a layer mask on the document itself using Alt/Opt + clicking on the layer mask thumbnail in the layers panel, it really helps to find what being hidden or not).

  

  The subject on a white background. It is not perfect, but it is certainly not bad for a quickie.

  ON EDIT: I forgot to add: O and K are the keyboard shortcuts for the peel of onion and black & white views respectively when in some and mask. Easier than clicking on the view.

• The new tool Selection and mask hatred!

  Get rid of the tool refine edge is probably the largest in the history of the Socialist Party. I like this tool and use constantly to get my masks just as it should. Select new and mask the tool only works on layers pixelated. I understand that for the detection/RADIUS tool to work correctly the mask must be on a pixel layer. However, this tool is not all that refine edge offers! The smooth, feather, contrast and update tools are extremely powerful, as well as quick and easy access, when you work with masks on adjustment layers. My quick shortcut to refine the edge is no longer works. I have to drag the mask to a layer pixel or find other ways to adapt. None is as effective as a fast/command R option and typing in my settings that I tab by refinements. I am EXTREMELY frustrated and disappointed. Does anyone know of any workaround solutions to return refine edge? Help, please!

  I thank everyone for your comments here, we are actively looking for the behaviors described. If you have files that you can send us where you see a significant deterioration in output using select and mask, we want these files. They will help us identify specific problems in the flow of work and with the underlying algorithm.

  One of the behaviors described in this thread is that select and mask only works on a pixel layer. It is a bug (we have a difficulty, that we are working on) and in the meantime, a workaround is available by double clicking on the mask to enter the select space and no mask on layers of pixels.

  We are looking for also actively to the performance of the brush edge refine subtract - please stay tuned for updates over here that we are building a case to identify exactly what might be the underlying problem.

  This is the first version of Select and mask, but we have on our backlog of adding other tools in this space in order to allow a greater number of workflow. More to come here.

• SELECT and mask shows lines on the screen

  When I select select and mask and is a refine edges it shows lines on the screen, any ideas why?

  Not turning off"use graphics processor" in the Performance preference and restarting Photoshop have a bearing on the issue.

• Refine the tool missing - select and mask does not work on hair

  I also do not know how to use this tool. I need to select the edges of the hair and used the brush once I was inside the dialog box refine edge. This allowed me to use the brush on the edges of the hair, and he would choose loose bristles. Now select the and mask feature selects a large part of color that is affected by the brush and does not select just the strands. So I find myself with a person's head and a blob of 3 inches from the bottom red on each side of the head, because it acts as the tool magic wand or quick selection instead.

  How to make a selection with the lasso tool, then refine the edge and select the hair? I often hear to use the pen tool, but who's transformed into a selection eventually anyway. Is not wise to make a selection tool feather each and every time you want to select the hair - I make a selection of the entire body of the person and what part of it can refine the edge. Totally lost on how to select just the hair strands and refine the edge.

• Using refine edge (or select and mask) only on a part of an existing mask

  Is it possible to use refine edge (or select & mask) only on a part of a mask to avoid mess with what is already ready to go? (which to choose and mask tends to often especially when you use the brush, then the border brush refine for example).

  Kinda like the gel with fluidity tool or masking of the areas you want to not use when using content aware.

  Thank you.

  PS: I would like to be able to do it directly on the mask, I train without having to store selections as a channel. This is because it is not convenient when you want to do a lot of time on complex selections.

  I don't know of any provision aimed at limiting (gel) edge tool refine in some and mask - sounds like a great idea to raise here:
  https://feedback.Photoshop.com/photoshop_family

  However, I used workaround, to refine part of the mask, that doesn't involve not only save as channels and takes longer to describe than to do:

  1. prepare your initial mask and save with the layer.
  2 click once on this mask
  3. use the lasso tool to draw around the area you want to change (refine)
  4. make a right click the mask and click "Intersect with selection".
  5. fill in the new selection with black (on the layer mask)
  6. now double-click the mask to open it, select and mask. You will notice that only the area you want to refine is indicated.
  7 tools to refine this area of your mask
  8. Once done select "output to selection", and then click OK
  9. make sure that the mask is highlighted, and then fill the selection refined with White - this puts a new version of the section that you filled with black previously.

• Refine edge in Select and mask

  I am not able to use tools refine in "select and mask" correctly. Rather than refine edges, it removes even the selection. I need some advice on her please. I use Macbook pro and Photoshop cc 2015.5.1.

  A conversation around to refine edge tool vs select and mask is also going on here, with a great new video of Conrad that most users of the tool Selection and mask must look to better refine their use of different brushes: Re: PS 2015.5 - tool refine edge? Missing?

  Feel free to continue the conversation.

• Select and mask

  I tried to change the color of the floor, so I tried "select and mask ' to highlight only the word, I wanted to work on... and then I got lost!... can someone tell me the procedure how to change the color of something after using select and mask?

  Any help would be great.

  When you are finished with the selection just click on the OK button in the properties panel on the right side of your screen. Selection will be loaded and you can create new settings such as Hue/Saturation layer using the selection for the adjustment layer mask.

• Can't get more refined brush edge in new "refine and mask.

  I can get to "refine and mask" but after the initial selection, when I click on the brush "refine edge" (to the low a 2nd), nothing happens.   I continue to have the brush to select (or you can click the sign less to remove selection frm).   NO edge refine.

  Try to work with an 8-bit uncompressed image Judy or at least one that was recorded with a high quality setting. Also go into preferences and under the performance tab click the Advanced button under the box GPU-now turn off OpenCL and see if that makes things easier.

• Confused about smart objects and masks related

  I followed several tutorials on dynamic objects, which this one by Julieanne Kost (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8wlNJlNbfk), in which she points out that if you create a mask on a SO, it will not be bound to the CG [08:12 in the tutorial]. She created a reverse mask and no link. I tried on a test document, and as illustrated in my pic, the mask is related.  I'm obviously missing something.  Can someone explain?  Also, if anyone can recommend tutorials detailed SOs and masks, I'd appreciate it.  Thank you.

  

  This video could be very old. When dynamic objects have been made public, the masks were not related. They are now.

  Two thoughts:

  • Start by watching this tutorial on the Select again and the mask: Select and mask in Photoshop CC Taskspace (15.5) "Julieanne Kost's Blog of »
  • Update to the latest version, published this week. There were Select bugs and mask in the original version: Photoshop CC 2015.5.1 update available

• Select and mask is not an option

  Hello everyone. I have a problem with the new ' select and mask ", it basically does not appear in my Photoshop. I have only the option "refine edge". Someone who can help?

  And Yes, I have the latest version of Photoshop, which should include the tool 'Selection and mask '.

  Hello

  I know you think that you have the latest version, but I don't think you do. Could you go to the Help menu and call information system. In the dialog box, the top line is your installed version. It should read

  Adobe Photoshop Version: 2015.5.0 20160603.r.88 2016/06 / 03:23:00:00 CL 1078833 x 64

  If your copy is the same so you have a corrupt installation, but I suspect it will say 2015.2.1 or an earlier version. Irronically if you managed to get 2015.5.0 to improve the contour rather than select and mask, then a lot of people here would like to know how you did it S & M is not universally popular

• SELECT and mask of pixelation/staircasing

  When I refine a mask using smart RADIUS, close the window "select and mask" then return to refine once again, at the point where I use the brush refine edge it tool rasterizes the edges of the mask where it was previously smooth. Why is this happening?

  

  In addition, while I am using the Brush tool refine edge, the whole picture becomes blurred and pixelated makes it difficult to see where I paint.

  

  The old edge tool refine had no these problems, well that simplest, it was more robust than that.

  Show original Brigitte as this seems to be a new problem and it will help if we can reproduce it. You get a progression model sometimes with JPEG files as the tool resumes the compression checkerboard pattern, but you seem to use psd? Your Mac and you can't trust the drivers of graphics cards unfortunately more, but I do not conclude that, right now, with this tool, they are certainly has problems with that affects other people.
