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 :: Change Solid White To Transparent In Black To White Gradient In One Layer Of PSD File

Jul 19, 2013

I have a multilayered psd file. All layers should remain opaque except the black to white gradient layer where I need the white to be transparent. So that when I place the final psd on top of a block of solid colour in Indesign the gradient shows the background colour through where the black fades off.

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.

Photoshop :: White Paint Will Not Work In Layer Mask

Aug 5, 2012

I just installed PS CS6 and when I apply a layer mask to a layer I can paint black to hide the layer, but when painting white to restore the layer there is no effect.  White paint will not restore the layer or modify the mask at all.  The black paint works as usual to hide the layer, but how do I restore an area in a layer mask if not painting white?

Photoshop :: CS4: Black-and-White Adjustment Layer -...

Dec 11, 2008

The modal dialogue for Black and White has the "Colorize" option and for that "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders.

But Black and White as an adjustment layer in the adjustments palette does NOT offer the Saturation slider. At least not in my CS4 Extended on Win XP. There is the targeted adjustment tool (TAT), but it changes color, not saturation.

Photoshop :: Black And White Layer Vs Duotone

Apr 28, 2008

If you wan to use duotone to give that depth and vide variety of tones you cannot use the BW adjusment layer correct?

Because you need to start with a greyscale to get to duotone, correct?

Photoshop :: Erasing Black And White Layer

Nov 22, 2008

I am trying to make a black and white image but leave certain aspects of it in colour. I did this yesterday by applying a black and white layer and then using the eraser to get colour back. However, this no longer works for some reason. I have also tried to use the history brush tool but that doesn't work either. I'm kinda a newbie so I think I did something last time that I'm not doing this time.

Running CS3 on Mac OS X.

Photoshop :: Not Allowing To Add Black And White Adjustment Layer?

Dec 15, 2012

There is a photo I've downloaded from the Internet that is by a photographer who shoots in Black & White. However, when I print out the photo it comes out sepia. I tried adding a Black & White Adjustment layer, but when I go to click on the button in the adjustment palette it's grayed out. I've tried this on other photos of the photographer and does it fine.

I can't seem to get the black and white filter layer to work. When I click on "tint" a strong yelowish tone appears. When I slide the color sliders to alter the tint absolutely nothing happens. I have tried clicking on just about everything I can find in the B&W filter dialogue boxes to no avail.

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?

GIMP :: Transparent Layer Changing To Black Instead Of White After Export

Sep 8, 2011

I sell a template that has a transparent layer in sections, after saving as jpeg it is supposed to go white, but for some of my customers it recently started going black!I at first thought it had to do with not pasting the layers correctly, but its like this after export, so I don't think that should matter...I've attached a sample image so you can see what is happening. Where it is black, it was originally transparent around the circle image, and normally would save white.

Apr 13, 2005

I wanted to make a decal to place on the acrylic window of my PC. I found the perfect picture, which is in black and white. For it to look right though, I need to switch the black to white, and vice versa. Is there a way with Photoshop to automatically switch these, instead of having to manually switch them.

Photoshop Elements :: Layer Masks - Can't Get White Or Shown Masks To Be Taken Off With Black Brush

Sep 11, 2012

I am having trouble with using my layer masks. I can use the masks that are hidden (shown with black screen) and apply them with the white brush, but I cant get white or shown masks to be taken off with the black brush. Sometimes, not always I have trouble adjusting the opacity of white masks. I was playing around with actions I downloaded and after applying three actions to a photo, elements froze on me. I read about trashing preferences, I dont know what that does or means but I tried to hit cntrol alt shift when photoshop was opening and nothing happened. When it first opens it shows I can install the new inspiration browser ( i dont know what that is either) thinking it was a required update I tried to update and it gave me an error message, something about the installer has been mis-configured.

Photoshop :: Extracting Photograph Noise As Black And White Layer From Photograph

May 8, 2011

I am looking to extract natural noise from a photographs material and create a black and white layer out of it, but I am new to photoshop and unsure how to proceed with this.

For example, here is a photograph of a hard plastic gun.

I have seen on forums where users will find a good reference image and use it to create a new black and white noise picture utilizing the reference.

For instance the hard plastic noise from the gun, might look like this once extracted and done correctly.

how to produce something such as this?

AutoCAD .NET :: Swap Layer Order?

Oct 24, 2011

i've to list all layers and objects in the drawing. I've got 2 checkedlistbox, one for layers, the second for objects.I've got 2 buttons, one up, one down, for swaping order. I've no problem with objects, but it seems a little more complicated with layers.I use this code to swap:

Using tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction Dim id1 As ObjectId = listLayerID(CB_List_Layer.SelectedIndex)Dim id2 As ObjectId = listLayerID(CB_List_Layer.SelectedIndex + 1) Dim first As DBObject = tr.GetObject(id1, OpenMode.ForWrite)Dim sec As DBObject = tr.GetObject(id2, OpenMode.ForWrite) first.UpgradeOpen()first.SwapIdWith(id2, True, True) tr.Commit() end using
 
id1 is the ID of the first layer, and id2 the id of the second layer. ListLayerId contains IDs of all layers. CB_List_Layer is my CheckedListbox.When is swap 2 layers, it don't swap objects in the layers. (ex : What i've got now :

Obj1, Obj2 in layer0 and Obj3, Obj4 in layer1 SWAP
Obj1,obj2 in layer1 and obj3,obj4 in Layer0.It's not what i want. I want :
Obj3,Obj4 in layer1 and Obj1,Obj2 in layer0)
