View 7 RepliesI have one layer with some outlines, everything is colored WHITE now. How can I change the color of this? The outlines is too thin and detailed to use the CTRL+U and drag the things, nothing will change.

Sure it works as does knockout and the extraction tool, but you seem to need to spend more time cleaning it up..why bother with a $300+ program if it doesn't seem to simplify the operation?
I'd rather do it one time with the Quick Mask and know its going to be smooth...and as for flyaway hair...extract seems to work as well as any. Has anybody have an real success with this program?
How do I load the fluid mask plugin?
I got it in the plugin folder and one is installed from their website.
The Fluid mask installer doesn't recognize Photoshop 6. I selected other and tried to put the “Vertus Fluid Mask 3” folder that contains the files dbghelper.dll & FluidMask3.8bf into the Photoshop 6’s plugins directory. It’s not available within Photoshop.
It does however function as a freestanding program so I know it works on the computer. It also worked very well under CS5.I’m sure Vertus will get around to upgrading, but I’d like to be able to use it with my current projects and not have to wait for them.
UPDATE: The above procedure works for the 32 Bit install of CS6... Not with the 64Bit.... would like it to work with 64bit since I edit some sizable files
How easy is it to migrate third-party plug-ins such as Vertus Fluid Mask to Photoshop CC?

I've heard that version 2 can only be installed as a plug-in, whereas version 1 was stand alone.
I've read that the advantage of the stand alone version is that it doesn't affect memory in the same way the plug-in would when installed in Photoshop.
Just wondered whever there is a huge difference in actual extracting performance between the versions, and whever stand alone versus plug-in is relevent.
is it worth learning Knockout or are there better ways to extract?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to know what the best and quickest method would be to knockout images of people from a background ? I've heard CS5 has a built in tool for this. I've also heard the plug in "Knockout 2" from Corel is useful. So what is the best tool to use ? Also, is the plug-in "Knockout 2" designed for CS5 ?..or only earlier versions of PhotoShop ?

I have the need for right away and little time to deal with much of a learning curve. I've looked at Real Flow but too expensive, with a complex price scale.
How can I fix my LT so that I can draw fluid lines? At the moment the cursor jumps in increments across the screen as I move my cursor.
I can draw circles and rectangles fine (smooth, no lag) but straight lines are a nightmare. This also follows true with the "first line" of an elipse which is very jumpy.

I made an animation of a small prototype engine I am designing (attached as video 3) and I would like to be able to show fluid flowing in from the injector and into the cylinder, through the dumbbell valve and out the bottom, autodesk inventor does not seem to have this capability and its looking like my only option is to learn 3ds max and rebuild my animation in that.

What is taking so long to open the file? How can I reduce the time it takes to open the scene without removing the fluid containers?
I am working on knockout design by using laser. I need to deside the tab size for different knockout.
If there is a standard for the force it takes to remove a knockout?

I need to knockout my arched text onto an object. This is the process I have been trying:
Effect > Warp > Arch > ApplyI then select the text and the object together and click 'Divide' in the pathfinders window.
However when I click divide the text reverts back to being a straight line of type. I really need the arch effect to be knocked out.
I would like to create a style where the white fill is knocking through the black fill in the appearance pallette. I cant seem to figure this out?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI run a screen printing business and I recently added some simple design services to my clients to bring in more business.I have attached the graphic which is a mock up of what I'm trying to do with the text.
I'm looking to have the white knockout to the background color. it's a black text in the center, a (what should be) knockout outline of that black text and then another black outline outside of that.how to set it up, order and arrange the text so I can simply keep the look of the white knocking out to the shirt color.
I am creating a logo, and I want all black parts to be visible, and all white parts to be invisible.I work in Illustrator CS5, and I have text with multiple strokes on top of another object...I want only the inner fill of the text to knockout to the artboard, while keeping the strokes intact.
I tried "knockout" tool, pathfinder merge, creating outline from text, and nothing has worked so far.I've browsed online forums for answers and nothing works.
I want all the black to be one file, and remove all the white. I tried the "select same" function, but this didn't work either.
how to show a good representation (quick and easy) of a knockout on a thin steel part?

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?
how to manipulate the size of the wipeout for a text mask.
Simply selecting the masked text in C3D 2011 provided pick boxes at the four corners of the wipeout, making it very easy to manipulate the size of the wipeout box. I'm hoping to do the same in C3D 2012, but the wipeout seems to be treated like a block and lacks the pick boxes.A system variable maybe?
While creating various circular masks with a radial gradient from white to black, whenever I change the blending mode of the mask path Ai will throw me out of mask mode into layer editing mode. Since this is on a large document of ~2Gb file with multiple artbords for large poster & UI refresh speed is slow, this has become quite frustrating. Is this normal Ai behaviour?

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?
I have been trying to and a layer mask to my image. When I go to unmask my image it wont work it shows it in the layer mask thumbnail but not in the real image.
