I will select a section of an image using the lasso or magnetic lasso, click on the quick mask icon and it highlights the areas as you expect it to. Set the foreground color to whit and select a brush to touch up the edges, but when I try and touch up, the brush does nothing.
Same thing for the erasor, they do nothing at all. Where is the problem?
it seems to work with loaded brushes and not the default brushes.
I can't get quickmask to work correctly in photoshop. Each thing I try to mask and then copy ends up having 50% or so opacity. All the layers are at 100% opacity, and in the quickmask options opactiy is also at 100%. Anyone know what could be wrong?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I use Quick Mask for masking an area that I want to copy and paste, then go to standard edit mode, I see the marching ants, so far so good, except when I paste the Image into another image it's looks too be about 25% transparent.
If I use lasso tool too do same thing, no problem, no
transparency..
What's happening? I've reloaded the program twice now,
problem still exists.
I am using Quickmask a lot, and I find a few of the user interface issues in it befuddling.
1) Sometimes when I change to quickmask mode (Q key), the foreground and background colors reverse. Sometimes they don't. Right now they do on one computer but don't on the other. I have never been able to figure out why this is, or what I can do to change it. (FWIW, I find the reversing of colors to be most confusing, and I like it when they don't change).
2) When I go into Quickmask mode and then out, my selected layer changes. If I have a layer mask selected, then hitting the Q key twice will change the selection from the layer mask to the layer pixels. I can't tell you how many times this has led me to edit the pixels rather than the mask. Is there some way to turn this off, so that the layer mask stays selected? (If not, I'll post this as a feature request).
3) I tend to work in full-screen mode. Is there some easily-recognized cue to whether I am in quickmask mode or not other than the hard-to-see "pressed" state of the quickmask button? I am continually getting confused as sometimes when I am working quickly, it seems like the Q doesn't register, so I hit it twice, and then I spend a few seconds trying to figure out which mode I am in. I like the text in the window frame which gives me instant feedback of my status, but I like the extra pixels of fullscreen mode. Is there another option that gives me full screen but easily-seen feedback on my editing mode?
I'm using Photoshop CS 6 for Macintosh.
cannot find my quickmask tool in the prescribed location?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to save a quickmask (or channel/path) that can be applied to multiple other pics. I'm in need of a mask so I can color the same parts of a texture file (dds) for various colors and on 3 or 4 different texture files.
I understand a quickmask/channel/path are all related, but is there a way to transfer this mask to other pics?
I am trying to cut a person out of a picture with a deatiled background so I am using the quickmask selection and paint brush. I'm done selecting the person and have gone back into normal editing mode. I then inversed the selection created within quickmask to select everything but the person in the background. When I click delete, the background vanishes and the person become opaque.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHDR Pro was working fine for me a few months ago, but now it just will not get off the ground. there are no Message boxes appearing either, and it looks as if it's just crashing.
My system is an iMac with the following:
8gb RAM 1600Mhz DDR3
3 TB fusion drive
3.2Ghz intel Core i5
OS X Version 10.8.4
Camera: Nikon D7000
When I try to merge 3 RAW files in to HDR Pro it will start stacking the images but at the end returns to the Photoshop App screen with no trace of the HDR screen. I have gone in to preferences> Interface> checked the box 'Open documents as tabs' but this is not working.
When using "Edit in Photoshop CS6" from Lightroom 4 I just go into Photoshop CS6, not Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). Cannot access ACR directly from within Photoshop either.
It works from Bridge tho'. Have checked out many forums and see other people with this problem, but main response, to remove com.adobe.Photoshop.plist from Library/Preferences, or reinstalling Photoshop and Lightroom, do not resolve it for me. All software, including Camera Raw (7.2.0.46) is up to date. Use 16 GB iMac and OS X 10.8.2.
I am running on an AMDPhenom 6cpu 3.2 Ghz machine with 24GB of memory and 64bit, Windows 7. Graphics card is ATI FireGL V7700 with 512Mb of memory. When I try to create text in 3D, the 3D options are all greyed out.
I forgot to add that I am on CC version 14.1.2. The gpu OGLVersion=3. Is it possible that AMD V7700 is not supported for 3D on Photoshop? I do have the "Use graphics Processor" checked in the Performance tab of Preferences.
I am trying to use the cloning tool, however, the ALT key does not seem to work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two compositions that I've been working with in CS2 on my laptop running XP pro 32bit and when I transfer the files to my workstation at home running XP pro x64, I have issues with the file. If I try to use the eraser or the brush tool, nothing happens. Is this a bug with x64 or do I need to change some settings? I just recently upgraded to x64 for the increased RAM capabilities and this is the first time I've tried to use CS2 since upgrading.

Suddenly hotkey(s) for Step Backward function doesn't work (Ctrl+Alt+Z) anymore and don't know what do about it.

I get the message that it could not import the clipboard because the file is not a TIFF. I have work to do but I can't do it without importing screenshots from the clipboard. Reverting to CS3 isn't an option because I've upgraded to OS 10.7 and it no longer works.
I have just installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard on my new MacBook Pro. I have activated it. However when i start Version Cue CS3 and check for updates i get the message "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and /or firewall. Waiting for connection...". I have turned off my firewall and the antivirus program and I still cannot get it to work.
I also cannot start Photoshop CS3. When I open the application a blank window titled "Adobe Design Suit Standard CS3" appears as well as Photoshop toolbars which I cannot select. All the options on the toolbar is greyed out and I cannot select any of them. I have to force quit the application.
I have Toshiba computer, Vista and I can't get 3D to work. I looks like Adobe Creative Cloud might not be compatible. I need 3D to work for my class at college. It keeps telling me OpenGL us disabled. I can't find a solution to enable it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMost of my users are working on a secure network without any internet connection. Then they wont be able to activate Photoshop CS6. I just heard that AAMEE can solve my issue and generate a MSI package with all necessary activation information.
I installed and used AAMEE (3.1.108.0). My first impression was, too easy.
But at final the MSI is not working. I tried from a command prompt with administrator rights (run as). The installation starts but it failed at the end. The progress bar goes back.
I tried on Windows 7 x64 and Windows Vista x32.
I had Win7 and didn`t have any problems but I bought Win8 upgrade and I install it without any changes of my PC settings ... that was option offered from Win8 insatallation manager.
My problem with Ps CS6 is next my files are open as a tabs and when I "move" image with hand tool the paste board flashing from dark grey to transperant...very anoying.

I am using CS6 (cloud) on Mac 10.6.8 and when I try to save anything (psd, animation, etc) for web I receive "The operation could not be completed." I have uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, clear my presets, shut down/started up and have tried pretty much everything I can think of.The save for web function still works in CS5 but I have been using CS6 for months and it worked fine yesterday and today it's not working.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have an English version of Photoshop CS3. Since I upgraded to Mavericks it will not work. It opens, a blank window for the Adobe updater opens and that's it. I can only close them by force closing. Everything is inactive. I can't even access the deactivate or activate menu. I have updated the Jave, repaired, uninstalled, reinstalled, all to no avail.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI got the same problem (shortcuts stop working after a period of time while in photoshop and I need to restart photoshop to make it work again)But now, It occurs every 10 secs. I CANNOT use photoshop at all. Just as I open it I got 10 secs to use the keyboard and then its over.
Everything is fully updated, as well as drivers. Nothing has changed in my computer since the last post.
And before you say "It's because it's 14 years old", know that it was working perfectly until about two months ago.
I have a Windows 7 laptop with 4GB memory, plenty of HD space, and no other PC issues.
I have been trying to use the 3D features of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and have been having no success. I have enabled the 'Use Graphics Processor' in the Edit->Preferences->Performance dialog box. I have also ensured that I have the latest version of the drivers installed. The video cards (in a CrossfireX configuration) are Sapphire HD Radeon 7970s. The thing is, when I installed Photoshop a few weeks ago, I tested the 3D functions and they worked fine. Now they no longer do so. I have updated video drivers and Photoshop since then but when I reverted back to the older drivers, the 3D features still didn't work. I have tested OpenGL in Modo 601 and Houdini FX 12 with no problems.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI decided to do the Creative Cloud thing. Installed Photoshop CC trial. Opened up a new document and tried to drag out a selection box ... and nothing. I can't drag my mouse. I can click on things. But dragging doesn't seem to work. Neither does right clicking.
So for example, I can't move layers. I can select them in the layers panel, but I can't drag them in the workspace. Same with sliders. I can select a location on a slider, but I can't grab the handle and slide it around. I've tried resetting preferences, restarting, and disabling graphic card acceleration.
