from a satellite image cut OUT and discard the lake surface with intent to use the remainder as a 'layer' to over-lay a created image underneath...
I suspect this is quite simple...but trying various permutations of the question via 'Help' has so far not allowed me to unlock the secrets...
I'm not sure if this is an intended feature of PS, but I have relied on it heavily in the past and now I can't get it to work any more!
Basically, when optimising photos, I will make an adjustment layer, levels, curves, whatever, which will globally alter the image.
I forget why I tried, but I found that using the eraser to erase parts of the adjustment layer would reveal the original state beneath, enabling me to make subtle tonal adjustments by feel. Sure there are many ways to achieve similar results with layer masks, history brush, whatever, but this method suits my way of working and is so simple.
Problem is, it won't work any more - nothing to do with updating PS as I have been using CS since it came out.
Messing with layer masks has sometimes brought this feature back, sometimes not, but unfortunately only temporarily and I can't work out what I did anyway!! When it does work, you can see the erased parts in the layer thumbnail and of course in the history palette, but when it won't, you still see the erase step in the palette, but nothing happens to the image.
Comparing X3 and X4 ...
Is there no way to use the eraser (or delete selections) on adjustment layers? I do/did this routinely in X3. I have missed some sort of configuration setting in X4!?
I have searched google, PDN, and hades for a solution.
I am fairly new to PDN but love it so far.
I am creating a logo for my company and wanted to "cut" an object in half and place a saw blade in the middle (to give to appearance that it was cut). I thought about duplicating the layers, placing them apart and using the eraser or brush to give a jagged look?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using a Wacom Intuos2 tablet with GIMP 2.6.12, and it works fine except as the subject says, the eraser works like a brush. In Photoshop, I don't recall exactly what it does, but I believe switching to the eraser (meaning flipping the pen over to the "eraser" side" switches from the foreground color to the background color, so that it effectively works like an eraser.
How can I do that, or something similar, in GIMP? I've searched everywhere and most of the posts have to do with getting the tablet recognized (check) and implementing pressure (check).

I use PaintShop Pro v. 11.20 at work. I was using it as normal one day, and it crashed. This is nothing new, the crash is because I tend to have a lot of programs open at the same time and I had not rebooted my computer soon enough to clear the RAM. The problem occurred when I reopened the paint shop after rebooting, and all commands involving the control key (copy/paste, etc.) as well as the delete key do nothing. Very occasionally, it will allow one of these commands to work, but this is now very rare. If I have an object selected, the highlighting will blink briefly as it does when you try to copy it, but otherwise does nothing. I can still use these commands from the drop-down menus. I think this is probably just some random bug that happened when it crashed for whatever reason. If I can avoid reinstalling that would be preferable, as I would have to have the disks mailed to me by the head office. I looked to see if there was some setting that would put things back to normal but could find nothing. I reset defaults, no change.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of translating existing VBA code into VB.NET, and I just ran into some issues regarding how to interpret VBA's GOTO in VB.NET. In the VBA, the programmer has the code written thus...
Public Sub addTag()
Dim ptStart, ptEnd As Variant
Dim annotation As Object
[Code].....
Without the while loop, single execution works perfectly. But the while loop to emulate multiple (recursive) execution raises some issues.
My problem occurs during execution of my VB.NET code, and has to do with display of the generated entities after the user picks points.
User picks the start point, then picks the end point, but nothing is displayed in the modelspace; rather, user is prompted immediately to pick start point and end point all over again (because of the while loop I used to emulate VBA's GOTO).
However, once user presses ESC, all the leaders and blocks that were drawn during the execution of the while loop are immediately displayed.
Is there a way for me to make it so that EACH time the while loop executes, the end product is IMMEDIATELY displayed in modelspace at the end of EACH loop, BEFORE the user is prompted to pick points all over again (beginning of the next loop)?
The VBA code executes as expected during runtime, as a result of the GOTO StartAddTag line of code.
But I can't use GOTO in my VB.NET code because of its messy nature, so I used a while loop instead. And the while loop isn't performing as expected.
however the eraser tool and other methods of getting to transaperency are not working. Perhaps it is a problem with locked background colours or something, however my eraser tool is defaulted to erase to white not transparent - see picture.

I'm trying to figure out the Background Eraser tool. I understand that I am supposed to trace around the subject of interest without allowing the centre mark to touch the subject. I notice that it draws a puffy white border around the subject. Then what? What have I done? I don't see a new layer, new channel, or selection. I am able to "paste", which creates a new layer. This new layer shows my selection with the background painted white.

I have the correct layer selected, opacity and flow are both set for 100%, and the brush size is adequate for me to see (what should be) the results.
using a airbrush softbrush 100 which I only have a 50? But more importantly using it to delete a section of a layer so you getthe layer behind it shining through but it's like an airbrush so no hardlines:
