You can designate an image as a layer mask?

I was wondering if it is possible for a long time - say I have an image in grayscale awesome I want to use as a mask layer to another layer. Is there a way to make that happen?

Copy your image to the Clipboard (i.e. Select all > copy)

Then the button Alt or Option click on the layer mask and edit > paste

  • You can transform an image in a button/reagents object?

    Is it possible to do an imported picture, a sensitive subject - i.e. when I click on it, it reveals something else? I don't see that option anywhere. I thought that maybe advanced actions, but I have in vain.

    Thank you.

    You can insert an image button. In 8 Captivate, you click "Interactions" > "Button", and then in the property on the right side bar you select 'Image button' and then click on the folder icon to select your picture.

    If you want it so that when you click on the image it reveals another object, set the action to be Show > your object.

    Hope that helps.

  • You can create a dictionary for a layer, but how to get it back?

    So you can add dictionary to a bearing layer either:

    AIAPI AIErr(* SetEntryToLayer) (dictionary of AIDictionaryRef, AIDictKey key, layer of AILayerHandle)

    AIAPI AIErr(* SetLayerToEntry) (AIDictionaryRef AILayerHandle prep AILayerHandle, short paintOrder, AIDictKey key, dictionary * layer)

    But, how do you later get the ref dictionary of this layer? I can't find next layer, or dic. then it must be hidden somewhere on the right?

    Thank you

    Well, then just get the first art on the layer that you want to store information in and use it. The first art is still a group, and it cannot be deleted unless the layer is removed so its safe to use. It should behave exactly as any other combination art & dictionary.

  • Paste an image into a layer mask does not work even after several approaches

    I can't paste an image into a layer mask. I tried to keep 'option' by clicking on the layer mask (to activate the white), then "Control + V" to paste the image but it still places the image in a new layer. I tried to paste through the Palette layers without success (pasta in a new layer). I tried to use past special from the Edit menu, but the past command is grayed out. Any ideas for why it does not work for me?

  • You can print an image of a home video? I have a Maverick and imovie 11 version 9.0.2 video was taken on an iphone 4S.

    I have a video that was made on my iphone 4S and is now in imovie and itunes, also in iphoto.  I would like to print a shot that's on it, so I can get a glimpse of my friend.  Is this possible?

    There are several ways to do so. I have iMovie 10, and what you just go in the section in the movie you want and choose Image-sharing-file. This will create a JPG file, you can print from iPhoto or preview or any other thing that can print a picture.

    If you open the movie in QuickTime Player, go to the section you want, you can change/copy to the Clipboard and open preview and then file/new Clipboard and the image appears in a new document ready for printing. It can also be pasted into Photoshop or any other program that can print.

  • You can change the image of cirlce GPS in the streets and trips 2009?

    Is it possible to change the thickness of the GPS circle and you can change its color?

    No, the GPS location icon is an image file, and it cannot be modified/edited by users. (You would have to edit the file containing this resource, and it is perhaps against the EULA).

  • You can lock the size of a layer?

    When you create files for production, or templates for use in another artistic creation, it crossed my mind that having the ability to lock the size of a layer would be really useful.

    Ex: I often clip a raster layer textured to a vector shape layer. Built in this way, the form may change its size without affecting the texture with. However, it would be great to be able to limit or block the scaling of the layer, to avoid errors in the future.

    I am specifically inquire lock scale only, I still want the layer to mobile.

    Hi ehart1,

    No, there is no specific way to block the scaling of a layer and leave everything editable. It looks like a good application: click here to request, telling them what you do makes your useful idea.

    Community customer Photoshop family

    What you can do, that might not help with other users of your models, is to link the two layers. Once you do that, if you resize your vector shape, your texture changes with it. It won't be good unless your raster texture is already at the maximum, but at least he is not leaving the sitting texture is more fill the shape it is cut.

    Personally, I think that I would prefer to notice that the texture no longer corresponds to the form to have the texture scaling too far and I don't notice it.  So ask lock an object for the scaling remains only, IMO, the best idea.

  • You can add an image in a PDF file slider? How you Center a picture? How to add captions to a photo?

    I'm creating a simple manual and I wanted to know if I can have an image slider in a PDF file without the need to have one image per page. The cursor will be clickable and whenever the user clicks on the previous or next image will change.

    Second, you can add captions to the images? Rather than having lengthy descriptions, I wanted to know if you can add captions to the PDF format.

    Finally, how can center you an image in a PDF document?

    Thank you

    I have a PC, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI

    -A slider effect can be added using layers or button form fields that contain images and then use the button to show/hide these items when you click it.

    You will not get the fancy transition effects you have on the web pages, but it will display a picture after another

    -What kind of legends? Just the text that appears beside them? It's something you should do in the authoring application, before converting the file to PDF.

    -Ditto regarding a picture of centering.

  • You can change multiple images to a PDF in photoshop?

    I scan a lot of old publications with images and drawings. The images are in black and white, but my scanner produces better results set to color. Therefore, I need to convert images to grayscale in Photoshop for Acrobat. I have several PS actions that facilitate this process, but I would like there was a way to select multiple images in a page or a PDF file and perform actions on them (a lot) instead of one at a time. Are there? Or maybe a method other than what I'm doing?

    I recommend that you scan all first, save it as a TIFF, make any desired correction and only then make PDFs. direct scan to PDF is ideal for simple simple workflows, but a responsibility when the correction is required.
