Photoshop Elements :: How To Copy A Mask From One Layer To A New Layer

Dec 4, 2012

I have been trying to copy a mask from one layer to a new layer in Elements 11. I can do this in CS3 by using alt and dragging to the new layer. It doesn't work in Elements 11. Is this feature unavailable in elements 11 or is there a different command? there doesn't seem to be much point in spending all that time making a complex layer amsk and then being unable to use it on another layer.

I have to give a tutorial on layer masks using both CS3 and elements at the Camera Club!

Photoshop Elements :: How To Paste Image On Layer Mask

Mar 2, 2013

I've just started using PS Elements 10 again after not having used it for some time, and I've forgotten a few things. When I paste an image which I've selected from another image (image A) into a layer mask for image B, the image A selection appears in black and white. Also, is there a quick way to return PS Elements 10 to its default settings?

Photoshop :: What Is The Difference Between A Layer Mask And Clipping Mask?

Apr 26, 2009

My subject line pretty much sums up what I want to ask.

The thing is I've learned how to do both of them, but every textbook exercise I've done regarding one I found out that I can pull off with the other too.

Are they simply two different mechanisms for doing the same thing?

Photoshop Elements :: Why Can't Find And Open Text Layer On Photo (PSD File) For Editing Using IMac

Apr 11, 2013

When I open Photoshop Elements 10 Editor to edit a text layer on a 511KB 412x292 psd photo the text layer is not shown. How do I open the text layer? How do I edit the text layer? How do I save the finished work product? The background layer is locked. I can't unlock it. I have tried any number of approaches none of which open the text layer for editing.

Illustrator :: Clipping Mask On A Layer Is The Entire Document Covered In A Mask?

Jan 27, 2013

Level: Newbie OS: Win7 64bit Ia: Cs6

Once I use a Clipping Mask on a layer is the entire document covered in a mask?

And/or is all the artwork from then on inside the mask?

I've read about how to add and how to remove art from a mask. I've read about how to make and release and lots of other things.

So, then I went and found a lesson that contained the use of a Clipping Mask.

I am suppose to Select the main shape and "just" copy it and move it down (doesn't say rather to Paste in front or back but I assumed in back ~ not that it has mattered thus far)

However, while making the main shape I used Gradient Mesh and used an Offset to create a "replica" and so when I go to Select the main shape the mesh is selected and so when I Paste (in back ~ seems most logical) and then move it down the details such as the colors of the Gradient and other such things are visible in front ~ ??

So, I have been trying to abate my problem in lots of different ways.

I have tried using the Pen tool to draw behind the main shape, I've tried making a New Layer and placing it above and below and inbetween the main shape layer, I've tried adding the artwork to the Mask ... I've tried everything I can think of and I've been through many an article in the manual and FAQ's to no avail.

I suppose, what I think I need to know ... is, how ... how on earth do I draw behind this main shape? Am I not able to do it because I am not getting behind the Mask?

Photoshop :: Layer Mask In Photoshop Elements 2

Mar 28, 2006

I just joined the forum looking for some help! I'm working with PS Elements 2 trying to create a simple collage. I've opened and dragged a second photo onto my background photo. I'm trying to have the second photo blend/go from totally transparent on the left, with increasing opacity unit it is fully solid on the right.

The PS books I have says to select the "layer mask icon" in the layer's palette...then use the black/white gradient tool to get this effect. The problem is I can't find the "layer mask" option/icon...and when I use the black/white gradient tool, my entire second photo simply goes from black to white in a gradient format! I don't want the black & white colors..I want the actual photo to go from solid to totally transparent.

Photoshop :: Adobe CC Dual Screen Clipping Mask Bug

Nov 6, 2013

I have 2 monitors. I’m currently working on the file on monitor 2. Having the layer panel on monitor 1, I'm trying to create a clipping mask by holding down the option button on monitor 1's layer panel.

It will jump to the file on monitor 1 and stays on that monitor unless I move the layer panel to monitor 2. Every other function seems to work fine so far, but this one really bothers me a lot.

Photoshop :: Select Layer Mask And Another Layer / Folder At Same Time?

Nov 10, 2012

I can do one or another, but both at the same time? It is annoying because a mask selection turns into layer selection when you select a second layer/folder.

Photoshop :: Moving A Layer's Alpha Channel Into A Layer Mask

Jun 20, 2009

(CS3)�I have a raster layer that has some semi-transparent pixels.

I'd like to make the layer itself fully opaque, and move the contents of its alpha channel into a layer mask.

(If possible, merging the alpha channel with what I have already placed into the layer mask.)

Photoshop :: Difference Between Selecting Your Layer And Clicking Add Layer Mask

Apr 6, 2008

Is there a difference between selecting your layer and clicking Add Layer Mask Icon versus having that layer selected, hold down ctrl and select Add Layer Mask Icon?

Also regarding working in Lightroom, if I modify a jpeg, select another image from filmstrip to work on and then go back to the first image for more work, are those actions degrading image even though I never physically save and close.

Photoshop :: Shortcut For Switching Between Layer And Layer Mask?

May 22, 2013

I've often been annoyed by the fact that that I need to go into the layer panel each time I need to switch between editing a layer and editing it's mask. Surely there must be a way to do this with a shortcut. I found a way to disable the layer mask in the shortcut menu, but this is not something I need to do that often. Switching between layer and layer mask, however, happens all the time - at least in my workflow.

Photoshop :: Use A Text / Shape Layer As A Mask For Another Layer

Jul 17, 2012

I can't figure out how I can use a text or shape layer as a mask for the layer below. See the example attached and you will know what I mean. (I created the example with simply cutting out the text outline from the white box).

I need the text to be a mask and I need it to be editable as text. Don't know if this is possible, experimented with clipping masks but I cant make it work.

Photoshop :: Can Luminance (brightness) Of One Layer Used As Mask For Another Layer

Jul 10, 2013

Basically exactly how layer masks behave, except I would like to be able to have full non-destructive editing control over the masking layer (e.g. have it as a smart object). The problem with layer masks is that (AFAIK) only destructive editing is possible.

What I'm after is effectively the same as what a 'luma matte' does in After Effects. Is this at all possible in PS?

Photoshop :: Move Layer Mask And Layer Pixels

Apr 14, 2009

I could have sworn that in previous versions of Photoshop, before version CS4, that if there was a link icon between the layer thumbnail and the layer mask on that same layer, if you move one or the other, they both move. In CS4, how do you move the layer pixels and the layer mask at the same time so that they stay lined up?

Photoshop :: Moving Layer Mask To Different Layer

Feb 19, 2013

Is there a way to move a layer mask from one adjustment layer to another adjustment layer (within the same file), without removing the mask from its original layer?

(I can move a mask to a different layer by clicking and dragging the thumbnail, but the mask then disappears from its layer of origin). I'm using Ps CS5 on Windows XP.

Photoshop :: Create A New Layer / Then Add Layer Mask

Aug 18, 2012

I 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.
