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.

    Hallo,

    Hello

    I created a signature mask. In the Preview on the timeline, you can see the mask,
    as it should be correct.
    But in exported swf videos. files the mask does not work.

    What I am doing wrong.



    ocak.jpgtest1.jpg

    I don't see anything that looks like a mask on your stage effect.

    in general, I think the image hidden (below OCAKBAŞI) is visible and nothing else.  you have two other visible layers makes it difficult to see what you are trying to demonstrate.

    text mask problems generally, because the text is not broken down into vector shapes (by clicking on edit > to break > to break).

  • CS5 64-bit masking does not work

    Strange problem in 64 bit layer masking doesn't work not correctly.  White reveals the bottom layer when using Brush tool.  Black does not paint it.  Is not white working backwards?  I use Win 7 core I7 processor with 12gig of ram.

    CS5 in 32-bit works very well so far.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Dave

    .

    Ensure that your brush is not set on something other than the painting of the Normal"" mode.

    However, in a white layer mask should cause the opacity and show what is on the layer itself, black should allow what is lower to show through.

    Choose Edition - Preferences - Performanceand temporarily disable the Drawing OpenGL .  If this is useful, see if there is an update to the video driver on the web site of the manufacturer of your particular graphics card.

  • 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 does not

    Everything is set to normal and the brush is set on what it is supposed to. I changed nothing, but I did accidentally hold shift and alt and right-click on the photo. After that, I couldn't have the under layer. I even restarted Photoshop and it still does not work.

    I got it to work. The color has been reversed. You can close this thread. Thank you

  • ALT-click the icon layer adjustment does not work

    It drives me crazy, I would be like Alt + click on the adjustment layer down in the layers panel to open the dialog window when you create a new adjustment layer. But it does not work. Sometimes the adjustment layer puffs a few options for a very short period of time, but nothing's going on time.

    No idea if something is wrong with my keyboard shortcuts?

    Try CTRL + ALT who should work.  According to me, told me it was a bug that was going to be fixed, but has not been yet.

  • Arbitrary mask does not work on Mac

    Hi all

    I would ask why the mask of arbitrary to customize the phone, I created numbers, postal codes, currency in my form fields don't work on Mac? I use Adobe Pro XI and in the environment of Windows 8. It works perfectly on windows, but when I checked in the mask, the fields with arbitrary mask do not work. Please help me. I'm a newbie using the pdf, I get on the net but I can't find a solution to this problem. Thank you in advance.

    What happens if you take the same file that is located on the Mac and try it on Windows? It must be the same file and not another copy.

    This fact that it works on Windows indicates that the arbitrary mask is configured correctly, this isn't a problem with the way in which it was saved. If there is that chance was already open in preview, then it is possible that JavaScript is disabled in Reader. You can check by selecting: Adobe Reader > Preferences > JavaScript > enable Acrobat JavaScript

    The fact that the arbitrary mask is not now set up makes me suspect a corrupted extract it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hey my layer Panel does not work

    When I cut, paint, double... he dosen appear in the l Panel ayer help me please <giphy.gif

    3Capture.PNG

    When you select an area on the background layer, you should see the ants.

    When you use Ctrl + X cut this area of the background should move to the background color of the color swatch and what has been cut should be on the Clipboard.

    When you use Ctrl + V paste the Clipboard it is necessary to paste as a new layer.

    The layer becomes the target of Photoshop layer, and you should be able to place this layer using the move tool.

    If Photoshop works this way not try resetting your Photoshop preferences.
