• Use a text/shape as one mask for another layer Layer

  Hello!

  I can't understand how I can use a text layer or a shape as a mask for the layer below.

  See the attached example and you'll know what I mean. (I created the example with simply by cutting the outline of the text in the white box).

  I need a text mask and I need to be editable as text. Don't know if this is possible, experienced with clipping masks, but I can't get it to work.

  Thank you!

  

  

• How can I use A clip to create a mask for clip B?

  Hello. I am having trouble with my project.

  I have a video with subtitles and subtitle down background. The subtitle is at 50% opacity, you can therefore still a bit see through it. I want to make it look slick and apply the blur of the main home, but only the part that is covered by the bottom of subtitle. I can't draw the mask manually, because real captions and background are animated, so if I had to draw the mask manually I have to go frame by frame, which would take me literally days.

  I hope I did my clear explanation. If this isn't the case, basically, I need to clip one area allows you to create an area of masking to another clip. The clip is also animated, so the mask must adapt accordingly. I tried to find a solution for hours without success.

  Thank you in advance.

  It is not very clear to me, but you seem to be saying that the subtitle background is animated, somehow? Is this true?

  Its size will vary depending on the actual size of the subtitles, isn't it?

  And you want the area of the main element which, at one point throws behind this background to subtitle the blur?

• Using results of a report as settings for another report to the Disco

  I was wondering is it possible to use the results of a report as parameters to another. For example, a report that produces a list of let say number of employees. Can these employees number then injected into another report, it's settings, instead of manually select employees. I use discoverer 4.1.
  
  Any help would be appreciated.
  
  Thank you

  Hello
  Because you are using Desktop it may be possible. Office has a way to transmit the results of one column to a second worksheet.

  Here is a simple workflow:
  1. create the spreadsheet that will generate the list of employee numbers
  2. create the worksheet (in the same workbook) that must use the list of numbers
  3 create a new condition on the number of employees and in the drop-down list, select Create subquery
  4. in the dialog box, select the worksheet, and the column that you want to use, and then click the OK button
  5 test that it works

  Discoverer 10 and 11 Oracle introduced what is called hyper exercises where a user can drill a pre-built map sheet to another pre-built, passing the values of parameter or the cell of the first sheet in the second as parameters. Both worksheets not even need to be in the same workbook.

  However, even this feature can be used to transmit the entire result set, so because you use Desktop I think you'll be fine.

  Furthermore, anyone reading what is using 10 g or 11 g the same feature exists in Desktop here too. The cool thing is that if you create a new workbook with a worksheet that uses a subquery in a different worksheet in the office 10g or 11g and then open the workbook in more or spectator the subquery will still work. The not so cool, is that you can only create and maintain these subqueries use of Google Desktop.

• gradient alpha mask problem

  Hello-

  I'm trying to create a gradient alpha mask for a PNG file, the effect being that of a gradual of thinking gradually in the background.  CS4 does not recognize alpha or transparent solid gradient gradient black white.  It uses the gradient as the mask.

  I searched and searched, but can't figure out how to make a simple gradient alpha of an image mask.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Rasthaus for concept work.

  You need make the mask and maskee clips, give them instance names, set the cache as bitmap to the two true, then use bitmapcaching to make the mask work.

  I think pretty good directions are here: http://www.align.sk/blog/blog1.php/2008/10/23/transparent-masks-with-cacheasbitmap-as3

  For what it's worth, it's an enhancement request well known for this work when the author in addition to running with LIKE (I for one hope that we can add to it).

• How to use the external swf semi-transparent mask?

  I want to use the external swf semi-transparent mask for the smooth transition. I use

  clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  clip.setMask (mask);

  Everything works fine. But when I use

  loadMovie ("http://www.url.com/movie.swf", "_root.clip");

  clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  clip.setMask (mask);

  It does not work... What am I doing wrong?

  Well, if your loadMovie is on the same timeline as the code that you set as a mask, then you need not _root.

  And sorry, I forgot, there was a problem with the main mc of masking that loadMovie is load in. While I was doing was putting clip inside another mc and called as well as mc 'container' then my code would look like:

  masker.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  container.cacheAsBitmap = true;

  container.setMask (masker);

  container.clip.loadMovie ("movietoload.swf");

  Download two attached SWF files and open the main.swf to see.

• How to use rotoscoped layer as mask or track matte

  I do some work between a 3d program and after effects cs6.

  Is it possible to use a layer of rotoscoped as a mask or a matte to another layer?

  Have you tried as luma cache without success.

  Should I precompose anything?

  Thanks for any help.

  Do not use a cache of Luma.  Use an Alpha Matte, or Alpha inverted Matte: the difference depends on what you want, you want to see and what you don't want to see, and it is simple to change.

• When I use my clipping on an image mask, fills the form I use the whole layer instead of just being a small shape Panel and then I put my picture on the shape layer, a clipping mask, but the form becomes clear with just a slight edge. The photo behind

  When I use my clipping on an image mask, fills the form I use the whole layer instead of just being a small shape Panel and then I put my picture on the shape layer, a clipping mask, but the form becomes clear with just a slight edge. The photo behind it does not move. I did this project of class before and it worked fine so I'm not sure if I have something started or... Any thoughts?

  I thought about it. That's all just stupid on my part and a bit of frustration because photoshop is my sworn enemy of then adobe added in. Thanks tho!

• Using the layer mask in Photoshop CC 2015?

  Hello!

  I'm trying to iron out some unsightly underarm in Photoshop CC 2015.

  I duplicated the layer and applied Surface blur.

  I clicked on the layer of the dup, while pressing option (using a Mac) to create a layer mask where I could brush the blur in but nothing happens. What I'm missing here?

  Thank you!

  Confirm:

  The blurred version is on a layer above the background image

  The version hazy layer has a black mask

  You paint the mask in white with the brush opacity Normal and 100% value

  The Brush tool is not too much to feathers. (To check, use brush hard edge as a test)

• Connector using Siebel-OPA BO mapping for the large amount of data

  Hello
  
  We intend to use the approach to mapping of BO to pass several values of OPA to Siebel, which we intend to store in the form of several records in Siebel.
  1. it is recommended to do by using BO mapping?
  2. mapping IO would be preferable, given the size of the data concerned?
  
  Thank you

  For the passage of a lot of data between OPA and Siebel, I highly recommend using a map of IO. You can find more quickly and also, return xml IO will be easier to deal with.

• Mask for some frames?

  I wish I had a mask only for a time on my images. I mean, it's... I have 30 seconds of footage, I want to leave say 10s and 15s to see that some of my images, the rest when I want images unmasked. After this point, I don't want anything hidden more head room. How I managed to do this was by double-clicking on the rectangle tool (this mask set whole sequences). Can I use hold keyframes to change the mask at the desired time. Is there a way to say just After Effects to turn off the mask (see the sequence with no masks) on some images. Thank you

  There are about a dozen ways I can think of to achieve your goal.

  1. Use the track matte and simply animate the opacity. You could use a duplicate of your images with a mask or just draw a shape layer.
  2. Put two masks on your film. The first would be created by selecting the film layer and double click on the rectangle tool. The second mask will be drawn to hide the box allowing you to hide or show. Then the mask modes would be possible to assign to add and animate you the opacity of the rectangular mask.
  3. Draw a mask and then animate mask expansion. This would give a nice effect if you also anime feather mask as the expanded mask.
  4. Use Effects > channels > presets and animate Alpha Set of Alpha to full
  5. Use Effects > channels > channel shift and animate take Alpha's Alpha to full
  6. If you use CC 2014 you could use effect > channels > presets with alpha set to Off, then add an option of composition using the mask and animating the opacity

  

  I could go on and. If there is no animation required for a mask I almost always use a matte. I find much easier to deal with for most of the projects.

• Photoshop CS5 - Move layer with a vector mask applied

  Hello world

  I work with Photoshop CS5 and that you have encountered a problem. I can't seem to select a layer (with a vector mask applied) and move it, even with the automatic selection on layer. I can move when the vector mask is off or when I rasterize the vector mask.

  Am I wrong in thinking that I was able to select a layer (with a vector mask applied) before, and it is a bug? Or I'm completely wrong and it has never been possible?

  I have attached a screenshot for reference.

  

  Oops, after re-reading my question I realized that I didn't have the word correctly.

  I would like to select the layer/object and physically move around the artboard using the move tool. But it won't let me select and move around, unless I have clear/rasterize the vector mask.

  Thanks if Yohanna! My bad.

• How to select a range of colors as in Photoshop or copy/move a layer in the mask of another layer?

  Hello

  I'm experimenting Photoshop Elements and wanting to use a layer of black and white (gray scale) I did as a mask of a another layer and do not know how to do in elements.  In Photoshop, I could do it (there may be a better way to do it in PS, but I've not yet discovered)...

  Click on the layer, I created that I intend to use as a mask

  Select all

  Copy

  Select the layer that I want the mask to be applied to the

  Click on the button Add a mask layer (bottom layer)

  Click on the mask icon so it is highlighted (and is not the image)

  switch to the channel display

  highlith the layer mask in the R, G, B of the layers and make it visible

  Dough

  invisible again

  Switch to layers.

  This works and retains the full range of transparency for the semi transparent and soft contours of mask etc.

  Otherwise, I can choose a range of colors, but this doesn't seem to be available in PS Elements.

  So, how do I get the same result in PS Elements?

  Thanks for your help

  Jonno

  After you have added your layer mask, Alt (Option) click on the thumbnail of the mask layer in the layers panel, and then edit > paste.
