Problems with adjustment layer masks

I have serious problems with adjustment layer masks. I have converted a photo black and white usiing one adjustment layer and trying to return to colored eyes. My form tool is selected, the color black is my first plan and target my layer mask. Coloring on the contour of the eyes a brownish/sepia-like color is revealed instead of blue (the color of the eyes). When I on the skin a reddish colour. In this case on THREE platforms... PSE6 CS3 AND CS5.5.

I have reset my tools. Close the program. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice (PSE6 and CS3). And you have installed a trial version and reset preferences in CS5.5 (just to see if I could overcome my problem). I also reset the default preferences in CS5.5.

Recently, I uninstalled a trial version of PSE10 (a week ago give or take and I think that I have chosen to remove preferences... do not know well).

OS: Vista

Browser: Chrome

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, I figured that the surrounding grayish area would give the impression that the color of the skin is too orange/high heat, and without external tone, the eye color looks different.

Katherine, take a piece of paper, make a big hole like brush strokes and place it on the corrected image. This is not the colors are the same as on the image corrected, now? (Well, there should be a gray piece of paper to get exactly the same result)

It's an optical illusion, like this: http://capslove.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/optical-illusion/ where the eyes of the same color green or cyan according to its surrounding areas. Your mind compensates for the colors and the tricks you into believing that they are different in picture one / two, skin color lighter and less saturated than in your second picture image.

Knowing this, you can use another adjustment layer, to drive the color where you want (to the soft blue brighter, more saturated) or skin made down the color that appears too bright.

If the other members of the forum are not paid in graphic design and the influence of surrounding the optical tricks colors/classic, it doesn't surprise me that they are consistent with the description you give, especially if you do ask them 'the skin looks too orange.

This is why it is recommended to have a photo studio (or the room in what you use Photoshop) with gray walls, why Photoshop interface is neutral blue-grey and not bright pink, etc.

(If you work on a Pc, select a black theme without transparency for Vista/7, or on a mac, select the choice of interface of graphite, as it could also mislead you.)

Some use a grey full desktop picture.

Thanks for the props, guys!

  • Is there an equivalent for Photoshop adjustment layer masks After Effects?

    I have a clip showing the clouds in a blue sky and the Valley in the bluish shade, and I want to darken the blues of the sky without affecting the Valley. Effects such as Hue/Saturation or curves produce good results on the sky, but apply to the entire composition.

    In Photoshop I would just do something like painting a gradient on the adjustment layer mask, but I don't see an equivalent in after effects CC2015.2 and wonder if I forgot something. Pointers?

    Mast track controls are in the Modes Panel. The second icon in the lower left corner of the timeline will reveal the switches and modes column in the timeline panel, or you can press F4 to switch between them. If the second icon is not selected, then you should also see a switch at the bottom of the column switches switches/Modes.

  • Absent layer of my adjustment layer mask

    Hello gang of Photoshop,

    Sometimes when I do a layer (such as a Vibrance adjustment) adjustment layer have or do not have an attached layer mask thumbnail. Lately, it does NOT show a thumbnail of the layer mask. When I have an active selection and then make an adjustment layer, there then not attached layer mask thumbnail. On another computer, I do the same creation of adjustment layer, and it automatically has a layer mask thumbnail. What happens on a computer that does NOT have the thumbnail of the layer mask?

    I hope it's clear enough!

    There is a preference for whether you want automatically added layer mask.

    Look in the menu SETTINGS Panel fly:

  • Problems with palette layer with CS5 CS6 files

    Open the Illustrator CS5 files in CS6 causes visibility icons, the layer names and layer to disappear from the layers palette thumbnails. Objects are always there are layers and layers, but I am unable to identify them in the layers palette (see screenshot of panels layeers CS5 and CS6). Have tried to change the Options of the Panel. Have also tried to change the file names that it allows me to do, but disappear as soon as I leave the palette. Also tried paste into a new document with "paste remember layers" but they arive in the new document the same way. The only thing that seems to work is paste a layer at a time in a new document and naming at that time here. This also provides the thumbnail of the layer. This isn't an easy task, because I have thousands of files CS5 I'll need to work with.

    Thanks in advance ~ Anita

    Hi Anita,.

    It seems that you have created 5 compositions and are overlapping target areas. It will be difficult to manage the layers having different target areas.

    Best way will be to use a unique composition and add images for matching triggers and their targets.

  • Elements 9 problems with the layer styles

    Hi, I searched the Forum but still not managed to install my layer styles in item 9.

    The asl files are currently in c/program files 86/adobe/elements9/presets/styles, but they may not appear when I launch the editor.  I even tried graphix add o matic nothing helps.  If anyone can tell me where I'm wrong, I would be really grateful.  I am running windows 7 on pc

    Install the styles in the shadow folder:

    "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Photo Creations\layer styles"

    Then delete this hidden file:

    "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_us\MediaDatabase.db3".

    Start PES and wait while it automatically rebuilds this database file.

    You need to temporarily change your folder options to enable the display of hidden files.

  • Layer mask problem

    Somehow, I've changed a setting that has now caused me problems with my layer mask. When I add a layer, then make a blurr Gaussian then to create a layer mask using the ALT key and clicking on the layer mask that my mask should appear in black. However, it doesn't. And I can't figure out how to change... or what to change to correct it. I'm a windows help using Photoshop CC. I do not know how to make the screen print see here since my photoshop so need advice on that a well... Can someone help me? Thank you very much! Kristy

    Your screenshot is confusing because you have either thumb nails disabled in the options panel, or you don't actually have a layer mask.

  • Problem with mask effect Gaussian blur

    Greetings! I've seen discussions where people had various problems with the following mask in Premiere Pro CC, but I had not seen this issue discussed, so I hope it's just a user error.

    I have a video where I need to blur the faces of several people in it.

    1. I applied Gaussian blur effect to the clip and used the tool free draw draw around A person's head.
    2. I have enabled the button animation next to the mask path label and then played the clip for some time.
    3. Then when his head would move out of the effect mask that I created, I would pause, add a keyframe and click and drag in the middle of the blue mask, that I had done in the program monitor, dragging on his head.

    Everything was fine. I did this several times.

    Then finally I suspended and made a keyframe, and suddenly the blue lines for the mask disappeared! You could still see the effect, but I could capture the effect is more and adjust it.

    Anyone has an idea why the blue lines for the mask suddenly stop appearing in the program monitor? This has happened several times, and I can't understand what the problem is. Thank you!

    Furthermore, I had already tried the mask tracking tool and he was not coherent enough, that's why I'm doing it manually.

    Select the mask in the Panel for the outline to show effect Options.
