I recently started using cs6 Photoshop and its the first time I get around to selecting hair with cs6. I know how to do it with cs5 not a problem. I simply cant find the mask window! Where did adobe put it this time!?
View 1 RepliesIn Photoshop 7.0, One of my artist noticed that after making a mask or path, the background was changed to a new color. It also has effected the Full screen mode with menu bar from the tool box. The color that was selected is an ugly yellow. My question is How do I change it back?

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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just installed my newly purchased PSC5 extended software. When I try to use the ACR it will load and I can use it but when I try to open, save or cancel my image I cannot. This is because the ACR window is too 'long' for my Sony desktop window and the buttons I am trying to access are in the 'shadow' of the desktop window. When I try to resize the ACR window to access the buttons it will let me adjust it on the vertical window edges but not on the horizontal window edges. I have to reboot the laptop to do anything at all.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs a new user I really prefer the single window mode but have a real problem in that every time I open a filter the window/box that open opens up underneath the single window and I cant see it without minimising the main gimp window. I've played with the preferences windows management options and seem to have all the file options curves etc on top now (these were opening under the single window at one point) but nothing I do seems to want to make the filter boxes open where I can see them - It's making GIMP quite unpleasant to use.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI modified a Window Family file by adding a Window inset parameter. When I inserted the window into a wall, otherwise the window worked fine, but when I changed the window's Window Inset value, the frame depth changed instead of the frame's location. The frame was originally made by Sweep tool, but now when I made it by Extrusion tool, the window works fine. Anyway, for future purposes, I would like to know how to be able to use the Window Inset parameter with a frame made by Sweep tool. How do I lock the depth of the frame sweep?
The file is attached.

Sometimes, when I have two or more drawings open in the same instance of AutoCAD, another tab opens up on the Windows Taskbar. Here's the scenerio; I have two drawings open. On the task bar, Autocad's icon shows two drawings open. Somewhere while drawing, AutoCAD will start bogging down, especially when switching drawings. On the Window's Taskbar, it will now show three drawings open. Two of which will be the same drawing. There will only be two drawings open. The drawing which is currently on top for editing will be the one that shows up twice. If I change to the other drawing, it takes a really long time to swap. Sometimes, it will sit there for a minute and then swap back to the other first drawing on it's own. I try going back to the second drawing again, and the same thing happens again. The only way to stop this from happening is to completely shut down AutoCAD and restart it. I think it has something to do with the ribbon. And I also notice it more often after doing a CopyBase, but not always.

View 3 Replies View Relatedwhat the term mask means in Photoshop -- there are quick masks, layer masks, saved selections, etc.
Is there an overall definition for all of the types of masks?
1. Is it possible to create a custom texture (the ones you can apply to your brush for example)?
2. Can you transfrom your picture into a mask for use on another layer?
3. how would you create a line looking like it's coming towards you.
I tried vanishing point but that was to rectangular.
I have the latest version of CS6 on my Mac, OS X 10.8.x. I have found a bug where Quick Mask is not always activated when you select it. Meaning, you select Quick Mask and the proper pen, color, etc., and it won't paint in the mask (default = red). It also doesn't appear to be actually /doing/ a mask either, so I don't think this is a display/driver issue.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm still having no luck with Refine Edge / Mask (CS5 & Win 7).
Following a tutorial at[URL]....
I come unstuck right after clicking on the Add Mask icon. In the tutorial the mask appears with a black/white checkered edge. As the commentary says, "You can tell when the mask is selected by the dotted border."
Well no matter what I do I do not get that dotted border, not when I click on the mask, double click, right click. (Nor do I get the checkered border when I click on the Layer icon. Both the layer and mask have plain white borders.)
I can't get to a Refine Mask option, only Refine Edge. When I try to improve the selection it looks as though I'm using an eraser tool at about 20% opacity, it just gets steadily more transparent. So how do I get the mask selected?
I do not have the ability to create a clipping mask in cs5. It doesn't matter if I use the short cut or the long way. In fact, when I go the long way it is in grey print, not black...so it is not even an option.

I have the mask visible in the first screenshot. And the 2nd screenshot shows how it disappears when I try to resize.
In Classroom in a book for CS5 this is clearly explained and community fora make mention of pixel mask, but none actually step you through it. I can not find it in the properties panel.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from CS4 to CS6 and have been looking forward to using the incredible masking tools. I found a video by Russell Brown on Adobe TV that was very good....but it was for CS5 and I just wasted an hour of my life trying to figure out where the "Refine Mask" window was in CS6. I finally called support and AFTER the support person watched the video while I was on hold, she was able to tell me that in CS6, you double click on the mask to open the properties tab and have access to the sliders. They are different than in CS5, though.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently was working with a few files and found that the density and feathering settings cause my files to crash when I use them as selection. Most recently, I had a raster mask at an density of 60%, and I selected that as a marquee, inverted it, and then selected a different mask and deleted it from the mask. Basically trying to isolate an area for masking. The second mask I applied was applied to a group, everything up to this point saved fine. But once I selected the mask, inverted etc. I tried to save and immediately photoshop became unresponsive and would crash. Is this a known bug? It's really frustrating, that the mask properties have lead to issues like this.
