Need help with layer masks

Hey,.

I'm trying to follow the tutorial of Rainbow shards from this site: http://blog.signalnoise.com/category/tutorials/

And I can't understand what to do step 6: I selected the forms below to apply a layer mask to the layer of color '

Basically, this is the picture in the tutorial:

i_shardtut_5.jpg

After a rainbow gradient & a layer masks, this is the result:

i_shardtut_6.jpg

Here's my version (sketched) I'm hoping to do the same with:

Picture1.jpg

I need assistance with layer masks, I know what they are about but not much about their topic.

See you soon

Or convert the layer to a smart object and a clipping mask, the top layer (command-alt-g). Edit: Sorry, I forgot that it is the Windows Forum.

  • Hello need help with the opacity mask.

    Hello need help with the opacity mask. I hope someone out there can help

    I inherited a logo that appears to use a Logo of OM has a shape with a grad. This grad at first sight is not used in the Grad scheme and there is not editable.  Looking at the transparency palette I find an OM (pic1) output option. If I choose what the grad on separates it from the page of the form, that is from there I can change/remove as required (Note2).

    However, sometimes (he did no change), I'll be back to the same original form and output option is grayed out and is no longer available. Or I go to the similar shape that has the same treatment and I can't go out OM (pic3)

    The only difference is the thumbnail in the transparency palette, which is strong in pic1 and rated on pic3. What Miss me?    I'm not clear what the advantage is simply OM using the Grad palette to apply a grad in my form, but until I can get rid of OM who is there, I can't comfortably apply to the grad I want.

    The white gradient LHS I have no problem with. I choose fortunately only and each time get the possibility of release of OM.

    The other thing weird. When I select the white gradient. Sometimes, the exit option is in the palette without going through the drop-down list (Fig 4).

    Other times seems not that OM has already been applied, because the palette gives me the ability to mask rather than liberation (5 photos). Until I go to the drop down and then I find Release is an option after all.

    What is the difference here?   Not much of a problem, because either way I can release OM to be able to change the grad.

    The file is passed through several hands and play anywhere to try to resolve issues, and many stops and save slot, so something along the line was of course done a logo and not the other because of the difference, but I can't for the life of me see what that.

    Dave,

    I've (mis) understanding the issues, you can account for the box to the right in the main palette transparency (called thumbnail) here.

    Illustrator help | Transparency and blending modes

    represents the masking objects.

    Some of your screenshots show no object mask, so it only is not really a mask even if do the opacity mask has been clicked and there seems to be one in the layers palette, wherever you look.

    I think that it is perhaps the issue.

  • Need help with image fusion

    Hello

    Before I get to my question, I want to give you a glimpse of the project I'm working on and the aspects that I need help. For a school project, a customer, 94Fifty asked us to create an advertisement that depicts their basketball and could be used in advertising online and in magazines. The 94Fifty of basketball is the world's first "smart ball." It can count how many times you dribbling, the arc of your shot, release time it takes for you shoot, etc. To use the ball, you need an Apple product that can download the application 94Fifty on the App Store, so that this project is done as a collaboration with the company 94Fifty and Apple.

    For my ad, to really capture the idea of being the first smart ball, 94Fifty ball I wanted to mix an image of the texture of the ball of 94Fifty, with the shape and details of a brain, with the slogan being, "A ball that is as smart as you." I have my design buried on, but I'm not sure how to combine the image of the brain with ball should I use layers? How can I remove the pink color of the brain and replace it with the ball while keeping the shape of the brain and the lines creased the brain? Any help and technical that you can give would be greatly appreciated.

    Here are two pictures that I'm trying to mix.

    8376271918_cf0b1b5c4f_o.jpg94fifty ball.png

    I would also try and keep the logo of 94Fifty which is on the ball in the mixed picture.

    Please do not confuse this for to ask me someone to do it for me, it's the exact opposite of what I want, I just need help with what to do.

    Here is a fairly simple method:

    First of all, level of basketball for the type to be horizontal. (Also correct the values of white light - burn at the top left and bottom top right.)

    Mask on white background of the brain and turn the image to 0% of saturation.

    Put the brain on basketball on its own layer. Make the overlay blend mode.

    Using free transform, reshape the brain is greater (rounder), like the basketball, with a visible margin around the edge of the ball.

    -Now, you have a brain in a basketball, but the brain is a bit too subtle.

    Duplicate the layer of brain as many times as you need to get the good contrast (I've duped the layer of brain three times, for a total of four layers of brain).

    You will probably find that you need to use the levels adjustment layers or curves on each layer of the brain, for finer value adjustments. Make sure that each adjustment layer affects only the layer directly below.

    Your first screenshot shows the layer style dialog where not all types of effects are indicated on the left. Bottom left of the dialog box, you see a small icon fx with a menu arrow drop-down. Use drop down the menu and make sure all you click on show all effects or restore the default list. I don't know what you're trying the shoe on the second screen capture.

    Is there a default value for the color management in PSE10? Beautiful photos from iPhoto, but blur with elements. I need help with this before as I consider that the upgrade to PSE13 and beyond.

    Printing which forms an angle seems ok, but one that is horizontally seems faded, incomplete.

    I was wondering if I saved a layer somewhere and set it as a default value.

    If you group the layers, you will be left with a single layer, thus spreading your concern.

    Suggest that you do the following:

    1. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your printers
    2. Reset the default preferences.

    Hold the Alt, Ctrl + Shift keys when you click the icon to open the items. When asked if you want to delete the settings file, say Yes.

  • Making the ear of corn and need help with the ball.

    I do some corn on the COB for an illustration and I need help with the texture of the ball. I've been slowly making progress with gradient for kernels mesh, but I can't seem to recreate the look of the ball at all. I tried to recreate it in a rectangle by using the option in the menu object (1 row, 50 columns) gradient mesh and I'm trying with the fusion in object mode, but not lucky yet. Can someone help to put me on the right track to make the texture:

    Tank,

    You have published three images stylistically very different. The first is photographic and call probably (but not necessarily) for graduates of mesh. The other two are graphical treatments (and frankly, they're both rather flat; lack of depth).

    Illustration style extends the range of cartoonish in sketchy photo-realism and all the rest. The problem is you didn't show your own attempt so that anyone can have an idea of what you're trying to achieve the stylistic point of view.

    I just need to put in place so that the final step does not appear the whole box. The problem now is trying to make the style of the good brush to reproduce the effect...

    You seem to think you have to build a kind of linear construction and then find a way to reshape the shape of each part of the leaf. Yes, you pouvez approach it this way, but Illustrator users has often tend to be what aunt Molly would call "too clever by half."

    Not everything must be something semi intelligent auto or complex and tedious consruct involving brushes, envelopes, masks, etc, etc. Much can be accomplished by thinking that he just thanks to measure you draw directly economic paths and constructions, which take no more time (often less) and result in very tidy, simple files. Again, a lot depends on what you are trying to achieve the stylistic point of view. But here's an example that only took a few minutes to draw:

    If the above consists of:

    Three roads closed, 8 points each, with ordinary linear degrees

    Three mixtures of open path with three anchor points for each key path

    Six paths closed for shadows / highlights, with 19 points in total

    Mixtures being directly from the paths drawn comic forms, the spacing of the veins 'automatically' and intuitively follows the width from point of view of the worksheet.

    Rather than to build a boilerplate brush, colouring and the weight of each of the three main paths of the vein mixtures can be set individually at any time, simply directly by selecting the key path.

  • Newbie needs help with cookie cutter in PSE8

    I'm new to PSE8, the cookie cutter tool and work with layers, what I need help with to accomplish what I want to do.

    I want to use one form of cookie cutter to make several 'holes' in an image, leaving a solid color background layer to show through. (Or another path, use the form of Cutter of biscuit as a solid 'rubber stamp' color to stop shape on the image in several places)?

    I opened my image in the editor and create a solid color fill layer, and then I select the shape of Cutter of biscuit that I want to use, for example a sheet.  Then I select the color fill layer, click and drag to create the sheet randomly somewhere in it.  When I release the mouse button, the window returns to the image and there is the leaf, locked in a box, in the color I want, on the image. I drag the box (leaves) to where I want it and click the green checkmark to accept. So far so good.  Here's the problem: in order to create another sheet on the image, I have to create another layer of fill and repeat the whole process.  If I try to use the same fill layer to a second sheet, the first sheet disappears.  I must be missing something very simple, but I can't figure out how to get out several sheets of a filling layer.  Also, I use a version without the constraint of the sheet because I would create several sheets of different sizes out of the fill layer as well.

    I would be grateful for any help or suggestion!

    Try the following:

    1. File > new > empty file - white
    2. Create a new layer, fill it red
    3. Create a new layer, fill it out of blue
    4. Access the marquee tool, drag the rectangle to the blue layer. You should see "ants in market". Press DELETE on the keyboard.  You should see red in the rectangular hole.
    5. Access to the custom shape (U) tool. In the form of culture library, select the heart shape black all and hang out on the blue layer. Press CTRL + left click the thumbnail of the layer of the capping layer for "mobile dotted." Hit delete on keyboard twice, and you should see red in the heart shaped hole.
    6. Continue with other forms.

  • I'm suddenly needing help with my browser Firefox (6.0.2)

    Hello
    I'm suddenly needing help with my browser Firefox (6.0.2)

    (OS: I use Windows XP).

    When I open the browser, I don't see is a totally white screen of white, with all the toolbars at the top.

    I know that my physical connections are very good: I have tested the modem, turned the pc market etc and I can also receive/send emails.

    This problem started today, September 8, 2011 and has never happened before.

    Is it a coincidence that Firefox itself to day before I disconnected yesterday evening? Could this be something to do with this particular new update?

    I also noticed that just before I "opened" Firefox, I now get a small box indicating:

    [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
    Handl exc in Ev: TypeError: this oRoot.enable is not a function

    This never appeared before - I hope that it offers a clue has what is wrong.

    The browser not be stuck in Mode safe, said by the way.

    Of course, I can't find solutions to the problem on the internet, I don't physically see all Web sites!
    (A friend sends this request in my name from their pc)

    Any light you can throw on this problem of confusion would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.

    If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall from your site, I'm also in trouble (I can not see the internet or download).
    In this case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my e-mail address? In the affirmative, please let me know and I'll give you more details.

    Thanks in advance.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • I need help with an installation failure to interpret and troubleshoot a Setup log.

    Background: A few years ago, many editors of cinema used Final Cut Pro 6 (also contained in Final Cut Studio 2) for their editing projects.  Shared Apple Final Cut X uses a different format that is not compatible with FCP6.  Sometimes, these editors are called to work on a few historical projects that have been published in FCP6 and need this version to run now.

    Starting with OS X Lion, FCP6 would install not in Lion and thereafter.

    According research by Jeremy Johnston as noted on his blog, he discovered that Apple has inserted a file in the folder CoreServices in the Library folder of the system folder that causes versions the version Final Cut Pro X (and other older Apple programs in the same situation) do not settle.  He suggested changes to this file that would seek to prevent interfering with the installation of FCP6 in Lion, many users of final cut PRO 6 were successful in their efforts to install in Lion and work with it.

    Later in a discussion update on installing FCP6 in Mavericks, HawaiianHippie determined that the simplest way to perform the installation of FCP6 was simply copy this file and remove it from the system folder, install FCP6 and then restore the copied file:

    I used this method with success to install FCS2 in Yosemite:

    [click on images to enlarge]

    However, in my attempts to install FCS2 in El Capitan, it fails in the last 5% to install the first DVD:

    First of all, I need advice on how to display an extremely large Setup log in this thread (on MacRumors, it is a method to insert a 'code' in a small box that can be the object of a scrollbar if necessary to read all along).  I am unable to find such a method to post here.

    Then once approved, I need help to determine which component is causing the installation to fail and perhaps this element can be omitted from the installation:

    If this element is not required, then maybe FCP6 can be installed successfully without it.  And if that omitted element is necessary, perhaps a manual method to install it can be determined by pacifists.

    It is my goal to help those who need to install and use FCP6 on their new Macs running El Capitan.

    Here is the post on MacRumors with pre-installed Setup log:

    http://kinkeadtech.com/2015/07/how-to-stream-Xbox-one-to-Windows-10-from-anywhere-with-Internet/

    I have no idea when it comes to such things and I want to make sure I do it correctly without messing up my existing home network.

    Port Forwarding and triggering Port pages setup look very different from what the guy uses. Can someone walk me through what I do to set up please?

    Hi @varxtis,

    You must enter them in the field for a start external Port and external completion Port. You will need to send individually except for the range of 49000-65000. The steps are as follows.

    1. create a Service name (it could be something else that you cannot use the same service name twice. Ex. XBOX1, XBOX2 and so forth.)

    2. Select the type of service (TCP, UDP or both)

    3 entry 5050 times a start external Port and external endpoints.

    4. Select the IP address of your XBOX.

    5. Select apply.

    6 do the same for other port numbers. To the beach, use 49000 for the external departure Port and for the external completion Port 65000.
