Select text AND drop shadow effect

I have a text layer which has also an effect layer shadow.

If I have to ctrl + click on the thumbnail of the layer, as expected, it selects the text but is not also include the drop shadow layer style. I guess it's because the Ctrl clicking on the miniature mask selects the non-transparent pixels completely and drop shadow layer mask is slightly transparent?

How can I easily select text and ALL pixels of drop shadow?

In a Word, I want to choose only 100% transparent pixels, so I can reverse to select the 100% opaque text and < 100% pixels layer transparent drop shadow?

Thanks for any help you can give.

The pixels are selected; It is that ants walking delineate only the boundary between lower or greater than 50% selected. To select completely all non-transparent pixels in your shadow layer, select as you did and go quick mask mode. Make sure that the quick mask is active in the Panel layer and run the threshold with a value of 255. Return to Standard mode, and you will see ants on expanded.

  • How to select text and be able to change the font without the text highlight color effect reverse?

    I remember being able to select the text with a certain shortcut would not show that it is actually highlighted, but it actually so, essentially the same function as selecting / highlighting just without the Visual indicator that it is highlighted / selected.

    You can change the font by selecting just different fonts in the menu drop-down of the character Panel. It will change the police without selecting text and giving you a reverse color effect.

  • For Drop Shadow Effects to InDesign help. Good or bad?

    I'm carrying a book in InDesign 5.5. The book is sent in PDF format to the Publisher of the book. The book includes about 400 pictures that many are wrapped in the text (clothing). My question is: what are the pitfalls or problems that might result if I apply a shadow to photos using InDesign, drop shadow functionality?

    I see two check boxes in the Drop Shadow Effects dialog box:

    Object mask Shadow & honors other effects of shade. I guess I want the object to knock out the shadow?

    You're probably going to want to knock out the shadow. There are times where you might want to do otherwise, but unless you are very familiar with the overprint and knockout, I would recommend to stay away. Here is more information on the subject: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-7038a.h tml

    The only trap I can think in aesthetics. Shadows are used when used subtly. To facilitate your work, instead of individually apply a shadow to your objects, you can apply a style object. This would allow you to easily make changes to all objects with the drop shadow effect. More on that here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WS5CEDB81A-0011-4dc9-9DE8-AC7AD4C80076a.html

  • Why my Drop Shadow effect has disappeared?

    I used the drop shadow effect all the time in FCPX. Now it no longer displays in the effect controls panel and clips that already had the effect previously, now show that the effect is missing. I restarted the program and it is up-to-date.

    See if it is in the aesthetic category. If she is not there, try reinstalling the application.

  • Drop shadow effect is not visible

    I use CS4 for Windows and I have several great books for her, but I'm still fighting fill a simple shadow on the picture effect. No matter what I try to use the fall simple shadow fx or suggestions complex building several different layers, I never see the final effect on the photo. I even click and uncheck "Preview", but it makes no difference. The photo displayed in the window of my CS4 continues to look like the photo when I first opened it. Am I supposed to flatten layers or somehow bring together them into a single layer?

    I'm puzzled.

    I'd appreciate any help. I'm sure I'm doing something completely ignorant, but I'm willing to drive me crazy to finally resolve this issue.

    Once again, thank you.

    Kind regards

    When you have 'created' the canvas, did you actually go to the Image-canvas size and expand the area of the canvas, or just fill in an area around your existing image with white?

    You must understand that the shadow appears outside the edge pixels of the layer, so if your image is taking up all the space of the canvas, the shadow will drop simply fall outside the visible area. Try to make a new layer and fill in a little box with any color, then apply the drop shadow effect, and you will see that it is not the edge of your box. The shadow on your image layer is applied the same way.

  • I would like to cut out an object using the Quick Selection tool and drop the object into another image. Can anyone help

    I use background images and want to cut objects of other JPEG files using the Quick Selection tool and drop them in the background image. So if I have a banana and select the object, I need to copy the banana in the context on the other.

    Hope it makes sense.

    Gary

    Select the banana. Right click > copy layer. Move tool. Click and drag to the other file. Place on the image.

    GOLD: load history and banana in a stack (file > Scripts > load file in the stack). Select banana and layer for copy or create the layer mask.

  • Select reverse and remove the effect from Photoshop to Illustrator

    Hello

    I'm new to Illustrator and do my best to understand how it works! I'm used to working with Photoshop and there are some things that I could do it on Photoshop and am now trying to find a way to make it look as I want... So here goes

    I'm looking to have this effect on Illustrator. (For those who you don't see the image, mimage is a globe with the text that appears only on continents. The text disappears when the image is empty. I forgot to save it as a png, but white is transparent.

    Logo PEI.jpg

    I managed to write my text in Illustrator and change the text to "Color Burn" effect, so that it looks the same on all continents. However, I am unable to remove the text where it leaves the other layers. The text remains black where the background is transparent.

    Logo PEI Illustrator.jpg

    So I was wondering if there is a way to remove the text outside the continent. The same effect, you should achieve in Photoshop by selecting reverse and removing the text (pixelated).

    Make a copy of the shape of the continent. Select the copies, and then choose the command object > path > make a compound path.

    Then use the new compound path as a clipping on the text mask. With her before she and the text and the text selected, choose object > path > make a clipping mask.

  • Photoshop and drop shadow

    I try to get the shadow to work in Photoshop CC, Windows 7. I do all the steps and the shadow is simply invisible in the area or show the window of drop. I have the opacity to 100% and the size of 10, but it does not show. In the section overview, I can see two black squares and move, but it never shows on the image. I had to work for a while and that I lost it. I watch all the tutorials and set the parameters according to them at least I think? If you need more information please let me know.

    I got it. I had to increase the size of the canvas to give way to the shade. Thank you all the help that I never would had thought of it.

  • How can have rounded corners and drop shadow a transparent stage?

    Hello

    It is in fact 2 questions:
    1 - How can it cause a stage transparent background corners?
    I tried to do this:
    .rootPane
    {
    -fx-border-radius: 4 4 4 4.
    -fx-background-RADIUS: 4 4 4 4.
    -fx-border-color: gray;
    -fx-border-style: solid;
    -fx-border-width: 1;
    -fx-background-image: url("resource/clean_textile.png");
    }
    And the root of the scene to have the style class '.rootPane '.

    But she sometimes shows some visual artifacts on the corners. I'm doing it wrong? is this a bug?

    2 - How a transparent stage can display the windows shadow effect windows 7? Is this possible?

    How a transparent stage can have substantive corners?

    Yes, it is a possible.

    There are a few tricks and you need of each of them:

    1 StageStyle must be transparent:

    new Stage(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
    

    2. fill stage must be as transparent:

    new Scene(root, Color.TRANSPARENT);
    

    3. the background color:

    -fx-background-color: derive(cadetblue, -20%); 
    

    4. you must apply the effect shadow in the background region.

    -fx-effect: dropshadow(three-pass-box, derive(cadetblue, -20%), 10, 0, 4, 4); 
    

    5. you will need embedded in the background in the region that has the dropshadow so her shadow will be visible in the scene and not cut out of the scene.

    -fx-background-insets: 12; 
    

    6. you must apply a RADIUS in the background of its rounded corners.

    -fx-background-radius: 6;
    

    Here is a sample in the revision of the gist =>

    How a transparent stage can display the windows shadow effect windows 7? Is this possible?

    You can kind of approximate using the techniques above, but I don't think that you will be able to get an exact match, without something like: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-18936 "Enable aero transparent glass style" (and probably JavaFX platform additional support so) running.

  • Table and drop shadow

    I have two questions about the development on this page: http://www.orled.com/newnav.htm

    1. why can I get my table aligned to the top? I have this big white space along the top that is not part of my table.
    2. can I apply a shadow to a table cell in dw? I want a shadow on white blood cells that contains the logo.

    Be nice to me, this is my 1st site. Thank you all for helping me.

    1] white space in the upper part is because there is a set of margin of 24 PX homepage
    in the P7exp.css style sheet. Change this:
    {body
    do-family: Arial, Helvetica, without serif.
    do-size: 11px;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    margin: 24 PX 0;
    padding: 0;

    }

    To do this:
    {body
    do-family: Arial, Helvetica, without serif.
    do-size: 11px;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    margin: 0 24 0 PX 0;
    padding: 0;

    }

    Note that only the MARGIN line has been changed. This will keep your background
    margin, but zero in on the top margin.

    [2] to create a drop shadow, you must create an image of the shadow
    (Photoshop) and use it as a cell background, which you define in
    CSS. For example, to create a white square with a shadow through the
    top of the page, and then save it as shadow.gif. Next, create a custom as CSS class:
    {.cellshadow}
    background-image: url (.. / img/shadow.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    }

    The path of the URL in the value above assumes that your style sheet is located in a folder
    (like 'css') and the image is in another folder ("img") - and the two
    These files are at the root of the site.

    Apply the class to your cell:

  • Drop shadow &amp; effects too rough!

    Hi guys, I've been on this during two days now. In the past, I've created a logo with the graphic style Pearl and adds a shadow to my text. I think that I have created to outlines. I've done a few pieces more than I think. I like to stretch and the effects Gallery etc. However when I use the effects Gallery on my text sometimes really blurred. I mean useless.

    I tried to create contours, raterizing and many different, what I am doing wrong? All effects are pretty useless and there is no major changes, I'm doing something wrong. A few hours ago the effects went well, that I don't remember what I did. It just seems to be vectorize, then rasterize. Then when I've traveled efffects Gallery they showed good. But I can't reproduce what I did.

    Any ideas?Logo.png

  • Cannot select text and scroll down on any web page.

    The problem is that in Firefox, other applications work fine. I've tried reseting my computer and reset Firefox start Firefox in safe mode with disabled modules. None of these things has solved the problem. Help would be appreciated.

    Update:
    -L'OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
    -The issue is not specific to Firefox, but any window full-screen (now I feel stupid for asking this question).
    -Just found this bug on Launchpad report:
    https://bugs.Launchpad.NET/Ubuntu/+source/Firefox/+bug/744580
    The problem occurs because the scrolling down is only triggered by the pointer is what past beyond the highlight box. The problem persists as long as the windows are full-screen; scrolling should occur when the pointer of the hit the lower edge of the screen, but does not work. If the window is made smaller the pointer may move beyond its edge and allows to scroll down while highlighting. This isn't a real solution, but there is a patch available in the forum section linked above (see comment #8).
