The use of masks in CC PP 2015

I've been through Lynda tutorials and searched the Discussions, and it's not like I have tons of time to sort all of this.

I have trouble understanding why the masks do not work like they should. And, as a new selector FCP7 and it starts to annoy me (as it is something I would have done in FCP two days ago).

I have a composite simple... an "explosion of Star' I am luma keying on a background scene. I repo-ed it down a little, and I want to put an oval soft-edge mask on the explosion to soften the edges.

Sounds simple, right? Click on the oval mask tool, stretch the mask and soften the edges as you want and voila! This works.

Only it doesn't. And besides, it does not differently, depending on whether I play in the clip or parked on a chassis.

So what am I missing here?

Try to apply the opacity mask, rather.

  • The use of masks to cut a hole in a layer

    Can someone help me please.

    As soon as I thought that I had the idea of the use of masks to cut a hole in a picture of a book on Photoshop CS6 I tried my own exercise to see that I couldn't have my idea to work: -.

    (1) Firstly, I chose an image of clear blue sky as a background image.

    (2) second, I chose an image of a duck set amoungst it's own background.

    I proceeded as follows: -.

    (1) I open both images in Adobe bridge.

    (2) then, I made a selection of the duck using the Selection fast and saves the selection as a selection tool.

    (3) I renamed the layer of duck, just duck.

    (4) then, I opened the picture of the blue sky and named the sky of the layer.

    (5) then I went to windows, arrange, 2 vertical space to get two images on the screen.

    (6) using the move tool and I spend clicking to align the image of duck in the center of the image of the sky.

    (7) next I layer sky move towards the top of the layers stack.

    (8) then I loaded my selection of the duck.

    (9) next I clicked on add a layer at the bottom of the Panel.

    (10) I then painted with a black brush to reveal the duck under sky.

    Everything seems to work well, but rather than get a picture showing just theduct across the sky, it appeared that the selection has been

    no work and he selected the entire image with duck and its background.

    Can you plase advice why and how can I fix my proceadure to get the correct result?

    I have one of my exercises of the trial correct or I am just barking the wrong tree and missunderstood how masks!

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Concerning

    Mark

    You have a lot of steps here: some useless, some confused. I suggest you just starting from scratch.

    Bring up the image of the sky. Evoke the image of a duck and drag on the image of the sky as shown below.

    Select the duck and with the mobile dotted lines showing, click on the symbol of the mask at the bottom of the layers panel.

  • YouTube seems to be blocking the use of Firefox (MaskingAgent?) on 2015 / 01 / 08

    • YouTube seems to be blocking the use of Firefox on 2015-01-08, let me (ATTACH) a screenshot.
    • I see that the default search engine (alias "recipes) for Firefox Google/YouTube, Yahoo has recently changed.

    This is due to the extension of the masking Agent, sending deliberately incorrect sites on the browser you use. I don't know if the extension allows you to make an exception for youtube.com and ytimg.com in order to work around the problem. If this isn't the case, you may need to disable the extension.

    You can manage on the page extension modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then find Agent masking and check for that option button. This is also where you would turn it off.

    (Often a link appears above an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click on the last step.)

    As far as I know, your default search engine is invisible to Web sites, so this probably isn't a problem. Or do you want to make a change here? This article has the steps: use the Firefox search bar.

  • Shadow left after the use of masks.

    Lately when I used a mask (in Photoshop CS6), it leaves a slight impression of the original image that I'm trying to 'clear '. My opacity is 100%, I do not use blend modes and effects at all. No idea why this is happening? Thank you.

    100% opacity

    Make sure that the flow is set to 100% as well. Also, make sure that you paint with true black: R - 0, G-0, B-0 and not 100% K in CMYK.

    Question about masks in Cs6. In After Effects, I have a choice between adding a mask or subtract the mask.

  • Need help with the use of masks

    I tried to use the quick selection tool to select areas of a photo in an adjustment layer, but it is not put at the disposal of the adjustment. The selection is done on the photo, but not in the adjustment layer box, as the selection brush only. I find that the selection brush is rather hard to use that you can't see exactly what you select as it only indicates in the layer box not on the photo itself.

    I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but I'm not.

    Can someone give me a hint or a clue, please?

    It would be really useful to be able to use the quick selection tool, or one of the other selection tools to isolate parts of images for extra work, or to keep separate work on the rest of the image.

    I know I'm not understanding something in Elements 8 page 129 + Barbara instructions.

    You must select the box before making the adjustment layer, on the one hand. To change the area of the layer afterwards, you paint according to the instructions in Chapter 10. Selections have no effect on an existing adjustment layer.

  • The effects of mask

    Hello. Is it possible to use the effect of solarization on an object in a video without affecting the background?  Basically, I want to have a person covered by the solarization effect and background not affected. Is it still possible? I would love to have some feedback on this request.

    [Please choose only a brief description to the title of the thread.]

    Post edited by: Jim Simon

    First of all, it is easier in After Effects. That said...

    Possible? Yes. The use of masks.

    Create masks? This can be difficult.

    If the person stands out from the background in a way that you can create a mask based on a combination of the cache of transparency and the luminance values, you might be able to use the levels to create a forground black and white background or vice versa. Then use it as matte.

    But it's not easy, and most video is not out in a way that will work for you.

    Most of the people like rotoscoping the person away from the background, image by image. A very time consuming process.

    Depending on what you really want to do, you may be able to apply a collection of masks and feather them so that they cover the person enough in General, covering about.

    Instead of using the date picker, showing only HH24 and reduction in size of the datepicker, why do you not use timepicker plug-ins that would be easier to use.

  • Using a mask to avoid the user to use spaces?

    Hello

    I want to avoid that the user use spaces in the name of vApp, presented in the web portal.

    Is it possible that I can do this using VSM? I found the ability to use masks, but I'm afraid I can't exclude the spaces from the name. I want to allow the user to use numbers and letters of the alphabet and ban areas.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    As Lina said, v9.1 FP4 included improved functionality of mask.

    Since this update of the package, you should be able to specify field filter to allow only alphanumeric applying the filter «*» I checked in our v.9.1.7, symbol of space will be not be allowed using this mask.

  • The use of multiple masks in a single layer?

    I have several different images of people and I want to combine in a single document. To get the combined image I want I need to cut every person on its individual image (background removal), paste them into a single document, fade the lower parts of each person.

    So far, I've been able to use the mask took cutting each person about their image, in front of them in a document. I'm unable to add fade on each image to. I think I should the user of the tool degraded with a work path defining the place I want to transition melted first. When I add the vector mask it interferes with the mask that I use to cut the person. How to combine the cutout with masks fade?

    I'm fairly new cc Photoshop but I work hard to learn to use it.

    Another option is to key in Cmd + Opt + shift + E to make an image composite without losing the different layers. Then create the fade on the composite. If you find later that one of your silhouettes should work, just delete (or click the eye off) the composite layer, twist the layer needed and enter Cmd + Opt + shift + E again for a composite revised...

  • Sierra Messages App is forcing the use of the discrete GPU

    Since the update of my mid 2015 15 "MacBook Pro to Sierra, Messages.app requires the use of the discrete GPU and kill my battery time.

    All the world fell on this and if so, have you found a solution?

    Here, even with a MacBook Pro in early 2011... problem seems to be based on the new 'features messages"that you can use in iOS 10.

    From messages app, the internal GPU is used until I get a message with one of these new features to messages. Then the GPU will switch to the discrete GPU AMD and continues to work with him until I left messages app.

  • Case 'not the same subnet mask' - WRT54GL

    Hello

    I recently bought a WRT54GL router and tried to feed it with data from my ISP.

    I entered these data to my Windows system as well as my older router and it worked fine.

    These are:

    IP: 213.211.57.xx

    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

    Gateway: 213.211.56.1

    However, I get the error "not the same subnet mask" described here .

    If I run "ipconfig/all" to the machine which can be used to connect to the net, I don't get any additional useful info that I described here, (he is also in Czech :-)

    And there is no obvious conclusion in this forum thread.

    Any suggestions?
