Paint.NET :: Do Colours Show Through When Using Layers
Jun 21, 2012
I am in the middle of a huge project and all of a sudden have a major concern.
When I am using layers and the background is a photo of the colour blue (rectangular shape).Now as a new layer, I am pasting another photo (a smaller rectangular shape) on top,with say a car in the middle.
Then saving this 'montage' as one jpeg.Now, when printing this image, would the blue colour that is physically under the smaller car photo shine through underneath? Or would it only print and use what is physically shown, despite me knowing that underneath there is another darker colour?
(As the end result should just show the smaller rectangular photo with the car and that one being surrounded by a blue border.)
I use gimp to make layered stencils for spray painting...I reduce it to a couple of colours, seperate the colours into different layers and then cut them out...
When I do im left with a ghost type image where the original layer was..
everytime that i try and match properties or change the line type by selecting a layer in the layer properites manager, all the lines stay the same (as if nothing has happened). the lines that i am selecting are not in blocks
When I create a Color Balance adjustment layer to colourise a selected area the Default Foreground & Background colours switch from Black/White to White/Black automatically with even the icon in the corner changing to reflect this (When switching manually back to Black Foreground the icon stays showing White as Foreground). By switching manually back I can refine Masks as I have been doing for sometime with the Eraser deleting parts of a mask and the Paintbrush adding to the size of the mask which is the logical way It seems like I have somehow changed the default Foreground/Background when applied to Adjustment Layers as I just tried using a Curves etc Adjustment Layers with the same thing happening with the defaults changing to White foreground etc automatically. Is there something I have ticked or changed that has made this change
When something with transparency covers part of an image (Mandatory process)(Such as the transparent layer in Twitter that distort the background), if I want to retain the original image look, I have to change part of the image into a more virbrant colours as before it was covered with a mandatory transparent layer.
Here is a demonstration In this case, I want to change the upper part so it looks the same colour as before, so I will need to change the upper part with more contrast or brightness, etc, so after the layer is added, it looks the same as if without the layer on. A way to do this as I mentioned, is to use curve tool or change contrast and brightness, but there is no way that I can get it to 100 accurate.
I have been happily using PSP X4 & previous versions back to 6. Suddenly my materials pallette is all black & white, & nothing I do will bring up the colour picker . When printing the thumbnail is also blacked out, although the print is OK. First noticed it using the Border tool -it only shows black even though it is printing a white border !
I use PSP X3 for web image editing and am sometimes sent jpeg files which are in CMYK format. Unfortunately PSP does not display the colours in these files correctly. Yellow will display as brown, pale blue as turquoise and pink as purple for example.
If I open the same file in almost any other programme, including the humble "Paint", the colours display fine and my workaround up until now has been to open in another programme, copy the picture to the clip board and then paste it into PSP as a new image. The colours are then fine but it greatly increases my work time, especially when I have many images to process.
Surely there must be a way to get these images to display correctly. It has nothing to do with monitor or gamma adjustment otherwise they would display incorrectly in all other programmes also.
Maybe it is a bug or just something that Corel have overlooked. RGB jpegs display fine, the problem only occurs with CMYK images.
I have this image in PS with several layers. I have put the last layers into the image from Illustrator, and I want to copy the image back into Illustrator, so I can print 6 on a page, but when I do, all the lastest layers don't show up. What do I need to do, to get all the layers?
In webdev it is not unsual that design involves multiple variations like "pages" where mostly header and footer stays the same while its "content" (the page itself) changes. And then simulate a navigation by means of hiding and unhiding each respective "page" folder. Where also the site's menu tranforms as "navigation" evolves.
It is a bit frustrating in order to achieve this to have to create a lot of duplicated menu folders and place'em under every "page" just to represent this selected links. And then if you have to redesign that menu, you have it spreaded throught several folder locations.
I think being able to hide/unhide linked layers at a glance of a click would be nice to have and would allow you a more strealined work while redesigning linked portions.
I love Photoshop, but one thing that always annoyed me to death is that whatever part of the layer is not within the boundaries of the chosen document size not only does not show, but also does not get selected.
Many times I want to crop a layer to a specific area, so I select that area, then do a invert selection and delete, but if any part of that layer was outside the document printable area when I did that, that part of the layer will not get deleted.
So if later I move that layer I will see that hidden part of the layer come back inside the document. This is not the way it work in Illustrator, where you get to see everything outside the printable area, but you know that only what's inside will print.
Im i trying to save some time and manual work by using an action or script to do most of the work for me, but cant seem to figure out how to do it right. Now its for a jewellery customization site, where you can choose ring, stone, color etc.
I have all images as separate images (on white background) but placed in exact the same position, so they can be placed right on top of each other and exported. Even though its a fairly simple process this would take a long time, as there are many combinations!
if i hide some layers or do something in photoshop it doesn't show the changes but when i choose fit to screen/actual pixel option then it shows the changes.Is there any manual autorefresh option in photoshop in settings.??
Drawing created in AutoCAD LT 2005 - in AutoCAD LT 2013, several layers are not present. Tuned off all filtering, etc. Noted that some blocks will not appear in layouts even though the layer they are on is not frozen in the layout.
Not clear why layers in LT 2005 will not show in LT 2013 I attached offending file.I am self-taught and LT 2013 is a little daunting for me.
Forgot to mention that layer AX-COL-SYMB-2 does not show up in LT 2013. Also, block for column line symbols (circle/column numbers) will not show in layouts in LT 2013, but will in LT 2005.
A .psd file with layers created in a full version of Photoshop CS6 does not show the layers in my CS6 Extended version. I am still using the trial version of Extended pending registration.
For several releases Autocad's layer manager has shown only XREF layers in the layer manager by default. Open a drawing with Xrefs (nearly every drawing I have ever worked with) and to access the layers that are actually *in* the drawing, I must first open the layer manager, select the "Xref" filter, and check the Invert Filter box. Then I see the layers that would more logically be shown be default.
Does any way to change this so the non-Xref layers show up be default??? I am currently using Autocad Architecture 2012.
How to show a set of particular layers in each layout?
I’m wondering if there is a way to turn off particular layers in a layout without affecting other layouts.
For example, in the screenshots below, if I need to show only “1_walls” layer in the layout “p_04” but to keep all other layers turned on in other lay outs, then how can perform this?
I have recently downloaded Photoshop CS6 on my mac, and when I download a photo, the minature photo doesn't show up in the box with the "Layers" on the right hand side.... And because of this I cant change between two different layers, for example if I am changing the background.
It doesn't matter what file I open, none of my layers show up any more. All I get is a white background. And if I hide every single layer you would think I'd see the checkboard background. Nope! Not even that appears. My colleague tried opening up my files on his copy of CS6 and the files work fine. I've checked and my version of Photoshop CC is up-to-date.
Do the people that develop (anti-endusers ) the upgrades ever think like an end user? Having the Layer Properties Manager set up with default filters that show "ALL" layers or "Xref" layers without a default for "Layers Local ONLY" is so counterintuitive and non-user friendly! This is just another example of how Autodesk has absolutely no regard for the end user.
