Apr 26, 2009My subject line pretty much sums up what I want to ask.
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?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Background Mask (Text Mask) Editable In 2012?
Mar 22, 2012how 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?
Illustrator :: Editing Mask Path Transparency Throws One Out Of Mask Mode
Dec 30, 2012While 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Clipping Mask On A Layer Is The Entire Document Covered In A Mask?
Jan 27, 2013Level: Newbie OS: Win7 64bit Ia: Cs6
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?

Photoshop :: Quick Mask Bug In CS6 / Mac OS X?
Jan 6, 2013I 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 RelatedPhotoshop :: Selecting A Mask
May 25, 2012I'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?

May 18, 2012I 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 RelatedPhotoshop :: Mask Density
Sep 28, 2013I 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.

2. Add a 20px black stroke to the top layer
3. Gausian Blur the top layer by 20px
4. Set top layer to Multiply
5. Create a Layer mask on the top layer

View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: HDR Layer Mask
Aug 27, 2008I processed an HDR image using 3 shots with my D80 (-2.0, 0, +2.0). I put the 3 shots in Photomatix and processed the final HDR image. So far so good. I now have 4 files, the 3 original shots and the processed HDR TIFF file. With me so far?
OK, I would now like to take the processed TIFF image and the underexposed (-2.0) NEF file and open them both in Photoshop. I would like the NEF file to be the bottom image in my layers pallet and the HDR TIFF file to be the upper image in my layers pallet. In short, these 2 images in my layers pallet in the order I just mentioned.
I would then like to paint over some of the areas on the TIFF layer to reveal the elements from the NEF file below. How do I do this?
This is what I do so far.
File>Open> select the NEF file and open from Camera Raw. That image is now in my layers pallet as Background. That bit I can do...
NEXT. How do I add the tonemapped TIFF into my layers pallet above the Background NEF image? And then set it up so that I can paint over parts of the TIFF image to reveal the bottom layer? When I've tried I end up just painting black literally (it doesn't reveal).
