Why my chains look like that?

When I read the tutorials on masking with alpha channels, what I see on my computer does not seem to match what is in the tutorial. For example, if I go to the Panel layer and click on the blue layer, that's what I see: (btw, visibility is disabled on all other channels)

The tutorials show this:

blue channel 1.JPG

I'm having a hard time figuring What channel to use to get the best contrast, because I do not actually see it. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? I use CS4. Thank you!

Preferences > Interface and uncheck show channels in color.

    In order to improve my skills and ease with Premiere Pro, I bought Adobe Premiere Pro CC Classroom in a Book and began to follow the tutorial. I opened the first project for lesson 1, as instructed, but looks like that when he opened it imported two media accompanying the project of the lesson and media one of the practical projects that I've done before. Can someone tell me what I did wrong and why it has imported two sets of brackets instead of only in the media for the lesson. Media for two different projects are not storeed in the same place?

  • I recently had a problem adding still png or jpg graphics - looks like that it is not synchronized and gives purple and green grounds.

    When you add a graphic to my FCPX video in the form of png or jpg or tiff, it looks like it does not synchronize according to the pic

    Maybe your graphics card struggled to display an image of grand res. What model is your Mac?

    Try to resize an image for something as small as a test. Preview can do the downsizing, or if you have an image editor like Photoshop...

  • How to make my picture look like that?

    Ellie-Goulding-Goodness-Gracious-Chainsmokers-Extended-Remix-1200x1200.jpgtumblr_inline_n4o4fo5YY01r6c6wh.jpgellie_goulding_goodness_gracious_video-1.jpg

    I was very inspired by a video clip on Youtube. (Ellie Goulding - Goodness gracious - YouTube) Very nice effects and all so I tried to make one of my photos like the pictures above. I tried Neon Glow filter, but it doesn't really seem like those pictures above.

    How can I give my picture this kind of effect? And what to call this effect? You give me a suggest? Thank you!

    Experiment with change of influence of a layer to your image with the sliders 'blend if' in the layers of mix options. (drag the sliders, alt-click for separate cursors and make transitions smoothly). the green image in your example, could be as simple to add a layer of plain with a gradient from blue to green and to replace the "mixture if: grey" only show the colors of darker shade of the image under.

  • Windows 7 task manager and windows pages look like XP

    I hope I've put this in the right category because I'm not 100% sure what category is this type of problem. Well, let's go.
    A few days ago, I started my computer and instead of start up normally like any other day, it went straight to windows startup repair. That has not really happened before while it was surprising to see. Repair system takes too long to finish so I thought that he was stuck in some kind of loop. Fortunately, it worked eventually. Except, when Windows finally starts upward, the Manager of tasks, pages of windows and stuff like that looked... How can I put this... aged. What I mean is, they look like Windows XP for some reason any. I checked the settings of the Visual effects and all the normal settings have been checked, so I do not know why Windows 7 looks like XP. The first time this happened, I restarted my computer and he returned looking like Windows 7, but the next day I turned on my computer, he is back to looking like XP and now it isn't go back even when I restart the computer. I never really liked the look of XP, so you can imagine that I'm too attached to the idea that my Windows 7 computer is stuck like that. Y at - it a fix for this?

    Thank you.

  • Zoom function disabled so can't enlarge the text on the main screen hard to read the subject lines of e-mail messages, looks like 6 pt type size, activated after the opening of e-mail.

    The text size is so low in the views of folders for primary e-mail that it is very difficult to read the subject lines of emails. I think I remember that earlier versions 'Zoom' has been activated and you could adjust the size. Looks like that the size is set at approximately 6 pt type. Must be at least 12 points.

    • Hot Bus error.

    I suggest you to follow the instructions below and check if it helps.

    1. Make sure that the HP printer cables are connected properly. If in doubt, turn the printer off, unplug the unit and unplug all cables from the printer. Plug it back and reconnect the cables. Turn the printer back on to see if the error is cleared.
    2. Check the HP printers cartridges and printheads to ensure that they are properly installed. See also if the cartridges are empty. If the ink cartridges have ink, reinstall the cartridges and print heads. If the cartridge is empty, replace it with a new one.
    3. Make sure that the HP printer software is installed correctly. If the device does not respond when you try to print or printing software will not initialize, uninstall and reinstall the HP printing software. Refer to HP Officejet Pro Full Feature software and driver.
    4. Clean and align the cartridges of printers. Open the software for your HP printer or HP solutions Center to access these features of maintenance.

  • Should be right alpha, but it doesn't look like it

    I use Keylight on some footage in AE CS4 and then put in PPro CS3 for the rest of the editing process.  In AE, one of my roses (a lamp we chose to accentuate what's happening) looks like this:

    alpha-in-ae.jpg

    I have "Unpremultiply" checked in Keylight, and here is my output for rendering Module settings:

    alpha-settings.jpg

    As far as I know, I should just finish with sequences with straight alpha, but in the body, I get the famous "premultiplied alpha halo" anyway!  Initially, the halo was only a second or two after that I would click in a new spot on the timeline - that really caught my attention it was something other than just a bad seizure on my part.  I actually tried to catch a screenshot for this moment before the halo would appear (to show the before - after), but at the time that that I decided to try this, Murphy's law struck at-now there is no delay and it looks like that all the time:

    alpha-in-ppro.jpg

    I have several roses I've handled in the same way, and they have all the halo, but it is of course not obvious if not the rose itself or background images is darker.

    I'm pretty new to typo and alpha, but I thought that I had done my homework, so to speak.  What else should I check?

    Try to make RGB and Alpha separately, then use the first Alpha key effect to recombine. When you do so, consider dilate by one pixel RGB data using the Minimax effect.
