Question: Mask Highlighted instead of the layer.

I have Photoshop CS4. He has recently developed a flaw: when you click on a layer it highlights, if you open the channel option, the channel mask is highlighted instead of the RGB layers. Please notify. Richard Batt.

Thanks for all your advice. As it happened I loaded a selection of one of the layers, in this specific case, and cleared the problem. In the future, I will apply the solution ctrl/shift/alt. Thanks again. Richard Batt.

  • Code clear, easy questions...  Disable the layer...

    I have a lot of areas on a map that I transformed into buttons.  When the user makes a MOUSE_OVER a button, I want a box of information so that they can see some information.  So far, I created my info boxes as clips from movies with fade in/out the interpolation between frames.

    ActionScript code:
    //function for camas info box in/out
    function camascreekOVR(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
        camascreekmc.play();
       
        }
    function camascreekOUT(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
        camascreekmc.play();
       
        }
    // register babb button
    camascreekbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,camascreekOVR);
    camascreekbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,camascreekOUT);

    I have it set up now so that the MOUSE_OVER, the clip starts and, apparently, since it is not visible in the first image.  MOUSE_OUT, function indicates the MC to replay to send the MC to the next section where there is nothing visible, no downtime and resets of MC.

    The problem is that if we do a MOUSE_OVER very quickly, the MOUSE_OUT never happens and the info box is lit.  According to me, Miss me some very basic events that will help with this.  Can someone suggest a workflow better to accomplish what I'm doing?

    Thanks in advance,

    Josh

    If you look at your functions, you will probably realize that you needed only one of them since they are identical except for name.  Reading of the timeline is not as fast that the code runs, if saying something to play() twice very quickly is also good that say play one time.

    You should try using commands in gotoAndPlay() where you specify which frame the movieclip is supposed to play.

  • I want to see the layer mask instead of the thumbnail of the layer mask in the layers palette.

    I don't see a thumbnail of the mask layer instead of the layer mask itself when I add a layer mask to the CS6.  How can I change this so the layer mask

    appear in the layers palette?

    Thank you

    Marc

    From what I remember of the CS6, it's the same CC follow these steps: in the layers palette, click on Panel options

    Click on the larger thumbnail

    The layer mask should now be big enough to see. Otherwise, you need to display it on the screen by alt clicking on

    on a PC option by clicking on the layer mask on a Mac

  • Duration of the layer adapts MainComp duration

    Hi guys,.

    I have this problem...

    I created a few videos with a progressbar... I created a comp with progressbar, with 10-minute...

    Now, I'm importing progressbar comp in the main computer, but I need, the time is automatically adjusted with the duration of the main computer, or better an audiosample...

    Is there a way to script to accomplish?

    Kind regards

    Michele

    You can also use the in and out point of an audio layer in the expression that I gave you. It would not cut your comp to the length of the audio layer but it would give you a progress bar that would scale up as the played audio layer. Try this by naming your audio layer "audio" and applying this preset (CC or later). It was a good idea that I built an animation preset to add to my library of more than 200 that I use all the time. Dropbox - progress to audio.ffx bar

    Just save the preset in your user presets folder and then find in the Panel effects and settings preset or click Browse for the preset from the Animation > menu to apply predefined Animation. This preset will give you a new shape layer at the bottom of a model of HD that is filled with a gradient and which can develop into the top of the left during audio playback. He does not cut the model at the right length of length but it will do the job.

    This is the expression:

    l = thisComp.layer("audio").outPoint - thisComp.layer("audio").inPoint;

    t = time - inPoint.

    x = Math.ceil (linear (t, l, 0, 0, 101))

    y = value [1];

    [x, y]

    The solution you gave my friend Mathias would work very well on an animated demo, but she also wouldn't give you a fully automated solution, which truncates your comp to the length of your audio or your video layers.

    You can also use the term in the expression instead of the layer and point to l. it would give you a progress bar which began to evolve with at the point of the layer and has continued to evolve until the end of the composition.

    l = thisComp.duration - inPoint.

    t = time - inPoint.

    x = Math.ceil (linear (t, l, 0, 0, 101))

    y = value [1];

    [x, y]

    There are many ways to achieve this with just an expression, but none of these will give you a fully automated way of creating a model with an audio layer and a progress bar that corresponds to the duration of the layer audio or video in the model. That takes a script.

  • "Assignment of a top layer of the object on the master" (master page numbers) I understand the layer must be up to show above images placed on the pages, but how can I do this?

    I have added page numbers to my master pages. They appear on the pages, but I have images on the individual pages which cover the numbers. I understand that I must assign a top layer of the object, but I don't understand how to do it. Please help me? Please explain a just clear as possible, I read the other replies but still do not understand. Wish it was as simple as select object, do a right-click, edit the layer!

    Thank you very much!

    1. open the layers panel (window > layers)

    2. in the control panel menu, choose new layer. In the dialog box, you can name the layer if you like Page numbers.

    3. on your main page, select the text block with the selection tool (black arrow tool) page numbers.

    4. If you now look at the layers panel, you will see a small square right of one of your layers (or 1 layer if you have not created any new layers). Drag instead of the layer of Page numbers. [Explanation: the square is a "proxy" for the selected objects.] [Drag to the other layer moves the objects on this layer.]

    Good luck!

  • Gum changing from white to black on the layer mask, leaving the image transparent.

    I used the following method in CS5 to erase parts of a layer/bring these pieces back again if necessary. It works in the same way after that I upgraded to CS6 (not sure if the version difference plays a role or not.)

    What I'm doing here is blend two layers that overlap in one of the other

    1. create the layer to the top layer mask

    2. Select pure white in the color selection window

    3 select the Eraser tool, set the opacity to 30%, 50%, flow 100% hardness

    4. Select hide, erasing the edges of the image where there is overlap to eliminate hard edges and merge the images into another

    5. when I need to highlight an area of the image at the top (one mixed), I pass the color pure black opacity set to 100%, hardness 100% and paint over the areas that I want to "undo" my deletion.

    -Sometimes happens a lot after my initial deletion, so a simple cancellation or who goes back in history is not a possible solution at this moment here.

    -Another note: I have to move over the other layers to align as much as possible, make the story do not brush useful in this case.

    Previously, this would simply restore the image to where it was originally for this place, by removing completely all masking. Now, when I do this procedure, the area that I'm trying to "undo" is however, as if the opacity is set to a level lower than 100%. This poses problems because I want to have the completely opaque image at this stage.

    Some other notes I hope to answer some questions that may arise in advance:

    I haven't settled the opacity of one of my layer masks

    I tried to do the same operation by using the Brush tool (with 100% opacity and hardness, using the opposite colors), with the same result

    As we have earlier I don't know another effective way to achieve the same goal. I'd be happy to do it differently but if necessary.

    All the layers in these documents are dynamic objects

    Thank you!

    I'm sorry it's so confusing. I guess the only reason why I use the Eraser tool is a vestige of when I was actually erase the image - and also I get the brush and Eraser different opacity value to quickly switch between them.

    @Theresa actually, I didn't watch only the mask. Of course the mask was gray in the areas that I was talking about. But that lead me to realize that while the color picker looked purely black and white, I was working with a grayscale image, and it was in fact color and converted to looked at pure Grayscale black and white. I need to set the color of the brush at a certain point, when working in RGB (which I rarely do) and not realised.

    Sorry for posting something with such a trivial response, but you all help me to understand thank you!

  • Shortcut/shortcut keys to switch between the layer and the layer mask?

    I often see this question around and it also seems that the shortcut so that it changes from time to time. The old version, I had (CS3) had the shortcut that was I think (command + ') [this is the tilde sign] to go to the layer and (command +-) to return to the mask.

    It seems, on CC, the shortcut to return to the works of mask, but it is not. No matter what work-around?

    I am new to CC of CS3 so there are many things that I'm not familiar with this day. I like a lot of workflow so far. Other things, I think I have to get used to. Thank you.

    I checked a site of hotkeys CS4 and I find that they have changed the hotkey after CS3 for:

    (command + 2) to go to layer and (command +-) to go back to the mask. So the shortcuts for it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Click on the layer behind a transparency mask

    Is this possible to do?

    The mask is laid out in front of the layer that I want to click.

    If the mask is a symbol, then he's locked in a div. It's somewhat misjudged CSS which is very convenient for the passage of the click event handler in one div to another. (At least it was unknown to me until very recently.)

  • After effects pre composed the whole MVI_0000.MOV instead of just the LENGTH of the LAYER?

    Hey guys

    I'm working on a project in AE that involves the green screen.

    I'm having a problem with the COMPOSITION of PRE. Please keep in mind that I have done about 0 video and HAVE NOT suffered this problem so far.

    Now, whenever I try to compose Pre pictures green screen, after effects Pre composed the whole MVI_0000.MOV instead of just the DURATION of the LAYER.

    Thus forcing me to do things the long extreme way to find my points IN and OUT, that I'm afraid to do for audio, reason for synchronization.

    I feel like a one hit shortcut keyboard or something because I have not had to deal with this issue all the time I've been editing.

    the "Adjust composition duration the duration of the selected layers to ' in the dialog of Pre-composed was only introduced in CC if you CS6 and that you want to dial prior to the duration of the layer, you must take the long road that is:

    1. your layer should be cut like that

    2. While the layer is selected, you type Cmd + Alt + B so the work area be cut to the layer like this:

    3. you dial before with these settings:

    4. in your demo, you right-click on the work area and select "Trim Comp to work Area"

    5. you return to your master comp and feel happy with what you have done

  • When I scroll through the mask of image sequence does not follow the layer of the timeline?

    Another problem. I simply scroll the image sequence and you can see on the screenshot that the mask remains where it was in the beginning. I applied red tinted effect (just to show you), and it does not stick to the station when scroller is at the end of the timeline which is say that the mask is not to follow. But it should, because the mask is the image sequence. Why? Please take a look. Maybe there is something wrong with the Ctrl c and Ctrl v method - it's how I inserted my BW mask in the layer mask?
