Photoshop :: CS6 - Black Brush On Layer Mask Not Working

Sep 28, 2012

I have been using CS6 for a while now.  CS 6 decided that I can't use my black brush on a white layer mask. At all. I can use the white one on a black mask, but not the black one I.  I restarted the computer, but I am annoyed.

Photoshop :: Simple Layer Mask Fade With Gradient Tool?

Feb 15, 2013

On screen this show when doing a simple layer mask fade with the gradient tool. (notice the hard transition in the black) The if I flatten it it looks fine, like this.

I don't understand why all of a sudden it is doing this, same with brushes. Just seems to happen in the layer mask which is really deceiving.

Photoshop :: Gradient Tool Not Working With Layer Masks?

Dec 20, 2011

i'm trying to fade out the last few inches of a photograph so it blends more seamlessly into backgrounds it's placed onto.If I use the gradient tool, set to "Foreground to Transparent" I get the proper effect, but instead of fading to transparent it fades to white.. which dosen't work when I move the layer over a coloured background.
 
I've read and watched many tutorials on this, and they all say to create a layer mask, and then use the gradient tool.. but for some reason anytime I have the layer mask selected the gradient tool won't work at all..

Photoshop :: Brush Tool On CS6 Not Working With Layer Masks

Jun 2, 2013

I've been using adjustment layers (curves) and creating a dark / light layer, and then using a brush with opacity of say 30-50% to paint onto the mask to show dark / light in selected areas of an image.
 
Until yesterday this was working fine. Now however, my brush is appearing pixelated, and scattered about like an airbrush or spray paint. Rather than all the brush being smooth. Even at 100% opacity, not all of the pixels are altered, instead there are clearly visible (when zoomed in) pixels which are lightened / darkened, and some which have been totally unaffected, which leads to a horrible pixelated effect.

Photoshop :: Gradient Use In A Layer Mask!

Sep 28, 2007

I am trying to fade the left section of a PSD image I created so that it gradually fades to nothing using a Rectangular Marquee.

The problem is that I cannot get the gradient itself to change after I have used the Gradient Editor to make it 90% Black on the left & 10% gray on the right.

Seems this color choice in a Layer mask would have the desired effect, but after editing the gradient still it looks & works the same as the default. (No Change to the Gradient)

Can someone explain to me how to customize the Gradient in Photoshop CS?

Photoshop :: Fading A Layer Mask To Image -- Gradient Stroke?

Oct 3, 2007

I've been using Photoshop intensely this year for school assignments, and I'm learning to get around very well. The issue I'm currently having is that it want to make a layer mask that fades from the mask to the image behind, from color to transparent to create a smooth transition.

I've attached a sample image of what I'm trying to do. Just note, I used a very round-about method to get this image, but I want to achieve the same effect with a vector mask.

Photoshop :: Black Mask On An Adjustment Layer

Jan 10, 2007

When creating a mask from Layer-->Layer Mask-->Reveal all/Hide, I know how to generate a black mask (hide all). But when the mask is a part of an ADJUSTMENT LAYER, it always comes in "white." How do I make the adjustment layer mask "black"? Alt-clicking on the mask simply turns the entire image screen white.

I set the blending mode to overlay, and the foreground color to white.

Photoshop :: Gradient Tool Won't Work On A Black Background?

Jul 22, 2012

I'm currently using photoshop CS6 and am trying to make a nice logo for my website. I used photoshop through high school so I know little basic things about the program. Anyways, I'm creating a logo from a tut on youtube, it says to hit "ctrl i" which makes the background black. After that I select a darkish grey as my foreground color, then I hit the gradient tool and set it to "radial gradient." Now I drag the mouse across the document and let go but nothing happens. I then tried it with a white background and it worked fine, but I want the background to be black. I made sure that it was on normal, the opacity is 100% and everything seems correct to what the tutorial was showing me. He uses a different photoshop than me so I don't know if that's what causes it.

Photoshop :: Make Mask From Black & White Layer?

Oct 23, 2008

I have a stock image which came with an alpha mask as a separate black and white jpg. I want to put the black and white alpha jpg on the main image as a mask, but I can't figure out how to make a regular bitmap layer which is black and white into a mask. I don't seem to be able to use this method: http://photoshop.weblogsinc.com/2005/08/16/photoshop-tip-using-one-layer-to-cre ate-a-layer-mask-for/ because that seems only to work with transparent areas, not black and white. Any Ideas?

Photoshop :: How To Quickly Fill A White Layer Mask With Black

Jul 29, 2013

My adjustment layers are set to come in with a white layer mask. But sometimes I want to fill that mask w. black after the adjustment and selectively brush-in the adjustment.
 
Is there a shortcut to quickly fill the mask w. black, w/o checking foreground/background colors; or choosing certain tools to be active; or Edit>Fill>Black, etc.? If not, how can I set my own keyboard shortcut? I don't see a Fill Black in the keyboard shortcut editing list.

Photoshop :: White / Black Color Combination - Layer Mask Editing

Oct 9, 2013

Sometimes it appears that the white/black color combination that is automatically selected in layer mask editing may override the selected color combination outside of layer mask editing.
 
Example:
1) Open Photoshop.
2) Select two colors: white/white.
3) Create two blank documents, each with an empty Layer 1.
4) In one document, add a layer mask to Layer 1. The colors should have been automatically switched to black/white as the layer mask is selected.
5) In this document, use the gradient tool to fill the layer mask with black/white.
6) Switch to the other document, and notice that the color selection is again white/white.
7) In this other document, use the gradient tool to fill Layer 1. Notice that the layer is filled with black/white instead of white/white as selected.

Photoshop :: Brush Tool Erasing In Quick Mask Mode Rather Than Filling In

Jun 20, 2008

I'm currently jumping back and forward between quick mask mode and my standard layer. When I am in the standard layer the brush tool is performing as it should, but when I go into quick mask it is erasing my selection (red) rather than filling in where I draw!

Photoshop :: Layer Mask Not Working Properly

Aug 30, 2007

I have an action that I created in Photoshop CS2. I used layer masks to be able to edit each layer. All of the masks work fine except for one. On this one layer (we'll call it layer 1) the mask works fine at first, but if I click onto another layer and then come back to layer 1, the mask won't work!

Instead of painting to reveal the layer beneath it, the brush starts painting black.
Why would the layer mask work fine until I click on another layer?

Photoshop :: Alt + Click On Layer Mask Not Working / Enabled

Nov 13, 2012

Basically, when I go to view the layer mask by holding alt and clicking on the layer mask it doesn't function. Along with this problem, when I go to toggle my adjustment layers on and off, by holding alt and clicking on the eye symbol next to the background layer... again this doesn't work.
 
Im not sure if I have accidently clicked on something that has disabled these functions or its just a bug.

GIMP :: Mask Layer On Top Of Another (Black Outline / Color Background)

Jun 19, 2013

I have 2 layers and I want to mask one through the other. I've attached a png showing what I want. I tried to attach an .xcf file, but it won't do it, which seems strange for a gimp forum. Anyway, one layer is the text (black outline) and one layer is a colorful background. In the xcf, the background layer is entirely filled with the colorful stuff, but I want it to only show through the interior of the letters (as shown in the png).

GIMP :: Create Layer Mask By Filling In Area With Black

Aug 4, 2013

I have been using Gimp for awhile (love it!) and have always used layer masks with no problems. But for some reason when I create a layer mask by filling in an area with black it isn't 100% opacity. Everything seems to show 100% opacity, but I can see the layers underneath (the mask is maybe at 90%??). If I "show layer mask" it is black where it should be and white where it should be, it doesn't look transparent. All my layers are set to "normal" mode. I'm at a lost as to what setting I must have changed?

Lightroom :: Gradient Tool Is Not Working In LR4.2?

Sep 1, 2013

I am using a Windows 7, 64-bit Pro desktop pc.
 
Even though I select the gradient tab, have the central circle highlighted (black dot showing) and have the three lines showing; when I attempt to adjust levels within the selected zone, the whole picture changes. Depending on image gradient area is either one third to half, horizontally, sky or foreground.

I have tried it on other images, restarting Lightroom and rebooting PC, nothing seems to change it.
 
I also have it installed on my laptop, running 64-bit Home and it works fine.

Did a photographic course yesterday and my images could be manipulated whether on their pc or my laptop. Brought them back home and no go on the desktop again?

Photoshop :: Brush Tool Won't Paint Black In Masks Of Adjustment Layers

May 12, 2006

this worked until yesterday. I didn't install any software on the pc or change any settings that I can think of. I'm using photoshop cs2. I've rebooted the computer several times and I've quit/restarted photoshop several times.

when I create an adjustment layer, I cannot paint black in the mask area. I can fill with black and paint white. if, after filling black and painting white, I press D (to swap foreground/background colors), I can paint, a paintbrush thing shows up in the history, but it won't change. if I press D again, and paint some more white, it shows up in white. likewise, if I choose black another way (eyedropper, setting rgb to 0,0,0), it behaves the same. likewise, if I don't start out by filling black, and I just try to paint black on the white mask, it behaves the same (doesn't work).

if I create a new layer, I can paint black on it. If I switch to the pencil tool rather than the brush tool, I can pencil black into my adjustment layer masks.

any suggestions?

or what info can I get for you so you have a good place to start?

Photoshop :: Move Tool Moving Mask But Not Layer

May 29, 2012

So I am adding a leaf to the waterfall image.  The leaf is on it's own layer with a layer mask, and was moved into position without a problem.  A drop shadow was added with Layer Styles, but when trying to move the layer again, the mask moved, but the layer stayed behind.
 
I checked for Auto select, which was off.  I unlinked the mask, tested, relinked the mask, and tested again.  Same problem.  Eventually it started working OK after I tried moving with first the layer active, and then the mask active, and swapping this state about three times.  I could not get it to misbehave again after this.
 
Nothing was locked.  Auto select was off. Other layers all moved OK.  I can find no explanation, and think of no user error (touch wood).

Photoshop :: Brush Tool Not Working Properly?

Nov 20, 2012

I am having problems with the free style tools, brush tool, lasso tool, etc. when I open Photoshop everything works fine but as soon as I press any key, the brush tool makes just one dot instead of a line, I can't slide any adjustment bars, like to make opacity from 0% to 100% or change diameter of the brush, any movement in the mouse is like I just made a single click, I wait around 10 minutes and everything is ok again.
