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.

  • How can I change the opacity of the layer mask?

    HI -.


    I used a layer mask to hide portions of a picture.

    Now I need to leave this hidden part of show at, say, 50% opacity (I'll have to experiment to find the optimal percentage.).

    I'd like to screw up the layer mask and start on another.  Already, I thought I could duplicate the masked layer, remove the mask on the copy and set its opacity to 50% but now I have 2 layers.  I suspect that there is a way to do without a double layer.

    Is it possible to adjust the opacity of the layer mask?

  • Black brush on the layer mask issues

    After a year working properly for the dark years of painting in normal mode does not have 100% opacity on a layer mask with the opacity and flow pegged at 100%.  White paint works very well.  Paint with black to multiply mode get to 100% after several passes. Reset the brushes - no help. Disabled the graphics processor - no help. Started with a new file photos and added a few layers and masks - has not always worked.  Any ideas?  I think that I am the victim of an update of Windows 7.  I'm running in 64-bit. Thanks in advance

    Sounds like time to reset the preferences.  What version of Photoshop?

  • 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?

  • Why apply the layer mask is grayed out?

    Hello

    From time to time 'apply the layer mask' is not available.

    What I checked myself:

    -Photoshop is not in master view (abbreviation Q).

    -J' have reset all warning dialog boxes (since it is a way to get a mask by dragging it to the trash).

    Can't get to work!

    Other solutions? Thank you!

    Screen Shot 2015-04-20 at 11.23.16.png

    I found myself - the layer was a dynamic object. Perhaps I should suggest Adobe to let Photoshop ask pixelation during application, instead of just greyin'out.

  • Restore to 'apply the layer mask' OPTION?

    There is a new feature where you can drag a layer to the trash and NOT invited mask to "apply the layer mask?  This also has the 'do' don't show again option - which I clicked by accident. Thus, the default is now to apply the layer mask when I drag a layer mask to the trash. I can't imagine a way to restore the more traditional function, without restoring all other prefs.

    So what I would like is a way to restore the default classic where dragging a layer mask to trash the opportunity to apply or ignore them.

    Please excuse this apparently insgnificant request, but it is a very common function I would like to restore.

    Thank you!

  • Change the layer mask: Alt + Shift + click does not work?

  • Can we change the opacity of the layer?

    Can we change the opacity of the layer in flash CS4? Such as changing the opactiy of the photoshop layer.

    No and Yes.

    No.. Layer is just for the stacking of things and by organizing your work. Therefore, there is no way to change a whole layer.

    Yes. Video, graphics and button symbols are the main paradigms in Flash, and each of them can have their transparency altered. (In Flash is called alpha.) So to convert your artwork in a movieclip or chart, and then in the properties panel are looking for color effects drop down and change the alpha.

    Or you can draw your art with colors that already have a defined alpha value.

  • Using the layer mask in Photoshop CC 2015?

    Hello!

    I'm trying to iron out some unsightly underarm in Photoshop CC 2015.

    I duplicated the layer and applied Surface blur.

    I clicked on the layer of the dup, while pressing option (using a Mac) to create a layer mask where I could brush the blur in but nothing happens. What I'm missing here?

    Thank you!

    Confirm:

    The blurred version is on a layer above the background image

    The version hazy layer has a black mask

    You paint the mask in white with the brush opacity Normal and 100% value

    The Brush tool is not too much to feathers. (To check, use brush hard edge as a test)
