Jun 5, 2006I need an easy way to fix a high contrast image such as an interior home shot where the windows are blown out and you can't see outside detail,but the interior is either correctly exposed or is underexposed. Basically what i need to do is combine the correctly exposed interior with the correctly exposed windows, showing correct exposure for both interior and exterior detail. To get the correct exposure i have been taking a shot in which i meter the windows, and without moving the camera, take another shot in which i meter the interior.
Here is where i get stuck. the way i've been doing it, which takes way too much time for my purposes, is to either use the magnetic lasso tool or the polygonal lasso tool to select the area of the properly exposed windows, and then cut and paste the selections to the other layer. The problem with this is,
it takes quite a while and i usually have to go back and do some cloning around the edges to fill in the spots that got missed, which takes alot of time as well, because it usually takes me several tries to get it right. Is there an easier way?

Aug 18, 2012I open something with paint and then I do crop and copy the area. Then I open up another document and paste it. Now I am trying to blend it in. I think I can use layers. Create a new layer, then add a layer mask. Then, at least that's how I have seen it online, I can use the brush tool to make the background reappear around the letters ( letters in my case). But this does not work. The brush only paints it in the background color.

Jul 25, 2013I'm trying to write a script that renames a layer, and group within the layer, then an object within the layer (but not a part of the group) and have it run in a loop.
Here's what I've got so far, the group rename doesn't work.
#target Illustrator
var doc = app.activeDocument;
idLayers(doc)//IRename layers
idGroups(doc)//Rename groups
function idLayers(doc){
[code]....
I haven't put in anthing to rename the single object yet since I cant even get the group rename to work. I suspect that the group re-name section isn't working because I'm either using bad syntax or an invalid command.

Sep 17, 2013I'm on a Win 7 machine using Illustrator CC, using a mouse with the pen tool.
I created some shapes on one layer, and now want totrace just the outside of those shapes on a different layer. It worked well enough on the first two shapes I did this with (both comprised of ellipses layered to create a particular shape) but on this third one, it keeps bouncing me back to the original layer. This is the only shape that includes straight lines but I can't think of a reason that would keep me from being able to trace the outline of shapes on a different layer.

Photoshop :: PS 7 How Do I Create A B&W Layer?
Apr 28, 2006I took a picture of myself standing in a pair of bluejeans.
I then duplicated a layer.
Next I want to make the back layer black and white.
Then I will take the eraser tool and erase everything except the blue jeans, thus leaving me with a cool effect.
The problem is I can't seem to make the duplicated layer black and white or I guess you call it greyscale.
My friend said to go to Image>>> Adjustments >> desaturate but nothingt happens. He told me further that their were a couple ways of getting the back layer B&W.
Photoshop :: Can't Create A New Layer?
Mar 25, 2007i have this pic of me i was touching up. I made my eyes stand out more, fixed up my hair, and toned down parts of my skin that the flash had made over exposed. I also used an adjustment layer to increase some shadows and contrast. Simple enough, right? so i saved it as a GIF file, and closed out. A few hours later i decided i wanted to do some focal B+W work on it. So i go and get all ready to create a new layer for the parts i had selected to stay in color...only it wouldn't let me. Not 'wouldn't let me' as in my computer was being slow. no. 'Wouldn't let me' as in the option under 'layer' to 'create new layer' was unclikable...what happened?? with any other photo i pulled up, i could do everything. with this one, i could do NOTHING. what happened that won't let me do this?

Jun 18, 2013If I drag an effect from the target circle of one object to anther in the layer's panel it replaces the effect along with all appearance. But I want just to add the effect. For example, a layer has a drop shadow and a path, round corners. I want to move the drop shadow from the layer to the path so that the path now has the round corners and the drop shadow. To do this I have to open the shadow effect of the layer wright down its parameters, then create a shadow effect for the path with the same parameters which is a lot of work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Create New Layer
Sep 10, 2013This is what is happening,
for example, i have a layer for dimenisioning called, 'DIM.' I'm not sure when it happens but AutoCad creates new layers that are called: DIM @ 12, DIM @16, DIM @ 18, DIM @ 128....It does this for different layers as well. There must be some significance of Autocad adding a @ # at the end of the layers name.
It then changes certain blocks from the regular layer, to these new ones. It doesn't affect any block consistently. So one block 'A' is changed to the new layers, but the other block 'A' is not changed.
The only thing I did differently for this drawing set was used dxfout/dxfin to purge dgn files out of my drawing, any possible connection there?

Paint.NET :: Way To Create Layer Masks
Jul 11, 2012I've downloaded and briefly messed around with Paint.Net, and while you can work with layers, I haven't found a way to use layer masks. I used to exclusively use GIMP, but then I found out about Adobe Lightroom, so I bought that and have been extremely happy with it. However, I can't do any pixel editing to get rid of any phone lines, or people's heads, or any other item that is goofing up my photo. I didn't want to go back to GIMP (it's not the easiest program to use), but then I found out about Paint.Net and that it uses layers.
I assumed that it would also have the option to use layer masks, as a natural extension or feature of having layers. But again I can't figure out, or have found online, a way to create layer masks.

Oct 1, 2012Maybe 2.8 has this option already, ive already downloaded just not installed it. i plan on doing it when ive finished this little personal project im working on.
Im having trouble finding anyway to assign a layer as a layer mask.
this all started because i want to create a gray scale bump map of my texture map. so i duplicated it and decompose it into separate RGB gryscale layers and the alpha layer.
problem is, the alpha is no longer the alpha. what i ideally would like, is to combine the alpha with which ever combination of the channels i decide to use. then paste that back into my original file as the bump map.... so far not having luck
