Jun 11, 2013Purpose of the Layer Boundary. First, it took me a long time to figure out what that pesky yellow and black dotted/dashed line was. Â
gimp_dotted_line.jpg (57.29K)
I noticed I could kind of move it around, but then I couldn't paint outside the line which made me think that it was some kind of mask. I checked my channels and layers and couldn't find where it was. I somehow found its name, Layer Boundary, which led me to the Layer to Image Size option. It's a nice option and allowed me to reset the Layer Boundary whenever it got too crazy. But now I'm wondering why this Layer Boundary even exists. In my eyes, if I wanted a potential Layer Boundary, I would just create a mask and work within that boundary.
Lightroom :: Purpose For Turning Panels On And Off?
Mar 28, 2013I have looked on the web and in some books I have and I don't understand the purpose for turning panels on and off or what it does. I see that the features are unusable when they are off. I understand why I would want to hide a panel.
Does it turn off any changes I made using that certain panel? What does it do?
Lightroom :: 4.4. - Purpose Of (Store Presets With Catalog) Checkbox?
Apr 20, 2013I am running Lightroom 4.4 on Windows 7x64. I have heard that under preferences its better to uncheck the box that says "store presets with catalog" because it is better to have the presets not tied to and/or embedded in a specific catalog.
However, I noticed that whether the box is unchecked or checked, the presets are always stored in their own subfolder separate from the catalog. Specifically, if the box is checked the path is: "C: Drive"->Lightroom, if the box is unchecked the path is: "C: Drive"->Users->"username"->AppData->Roaming->Adobe->Lightroom. So the presets are not embedded in the catalog file in either case, they are just stored in subfolders in different places (albeit in one case it seems user specific and in another it seems global). So what is the real point of the "store presets with catalog" checkbox?

View 5 Replies View RelatedPaint.NET :: Ebook Cover - Shrinkage Of Image For Preview Purpose
Aug 31, 2012I've recently gotten into the craze of writing an ebook for the Amazon Kindle and decided to design my own ebook cover. The biggest problem I've come upon is the shrinkage of the image for preview purposes when people are browsing the Kindle selection.
The original size of my image is 2000 x 1200 (the recommended 1 to .6 ratio for Kindle covers). The book looks great in the original size, but when shrunk down to about 100 x 60, the text becomes pixelated. I've tried the various font styles (mostly sticking to the sans-serif), but all have the pixelated look. I use the built-in text tool for paint.net. I tried making the text as larger as possible across the book cover, but the text still looks pixelated.
Is there a plugin for text that is used for ebook covers to 'merge' them into the cover images to blend in more and not look so sharp?
Here are two versions of my ebook cover. The Original Size can be found here.

May 30, 2012Below is my test procedure for "Create Curve Mesh Element" by Inventor simulation 2012.
1. I made a box 100(W)X100(D)X20(H) with 2xR20 (mm) fillets at the opposite edges.
2. I copied a box I made for making 2 type mesh.
3. I made mesh on the box without "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374
Element number: 1365
4. I made mesh another model with "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.
Node number: 2374 (same number, not increase)
Element number: 1365
Mesh shape is different(please refere attachiment jpeg file).
I think that "Create Curved Mesh Element option" is not for making second tetrahedron elements.But I cnanot the true porpose of "Create Curved Mesh Elements" option.For only P method, not H method?

Photoshop :: Masking
Aug 4, 2009I'm switching from Corel to Adobe and in transition I keep thinking ia have it and then I'm lost again. In CorelPaint, I could mask an area and then use a tool to add to or delete from the mask pixel by pixel or larger areas if I wanted by using a brush. I am REALLY good at it in Corel but can't figure it out yet in Photoshop. I can draw simple masks but not manipulate them.I hope this makes sense. I want to learn adding to and deleting a masked area. I looked at some online searches but here I am. In response to my last posting (another topic) I was directed to some tutorails and got it quickly.

View 12 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Pen Tool And Masking In CS6
Aug 5, 2012In previous versions I could create a custom (vector) mask using the pen tool in 2 easy steps. Draw a shape then drag that shape to the image i wanted the mask on. Done.
Â
This "feature" has been removed from CS6 and its extremely annoying. Or has it just become a lot more complicated to achieve this?
Â
I know i can create a clipping mask using the shape layer but that requires another visible layer in the layers panel. Having "roto'd" 50 elements in previous versions in the same workspace gave me 50 layers (cleaning up the solid black shape layers after). In CS6 it gives me 100 layers.
Â
I know i can select the shape as a selection and then apply a mask but that would make the mask a solid. I want to be able to move my tangents around etc. 100% non-destructively.Â
Â
I work 100% non destructive and yes, my psd's become very large but thats no biggie, my computer can handle it. I don't want to rasterize.
Â
If you have CS5.5 or earlier versions, create a shape and drag that shape to the layer you want to mask, remove the fill layer and you'll see what i mean. Thats what i want to be able to do in CS6. Is this 100% gone from CS6?

Photoshop :: Masking For Video
Feb 20, 2013I'm editing a video that contains two shots in which the set had to have black gaff tape around the perimeter of the floor in order to container a pool of liquid in a kitchen (see attached image, yellow arrows added). For budget purposes the scene had to be shot this way instead of allowing the liquid to go wherever and damage the set.
My question is, what is the best/simplest/most effective way to eliminate the tape from the scene and create a new background in its place? Luckily, the shot is entirely static and the tape is not too thick/prominent, so I'm fairly confident it can be done and done well. Unfortunately, I don't have an image from the exact angle without the tape, although I could potentially get one if that would be easier than recreating it in PS. I'm a beginning to intermediate PS user and this is a little above my skill level.
I'm running CS4 on a MacBook Pro. The footage is ProRes 422 which I can export as still images (jpg, png, other) to work on individually in photoshop (assuming this is the best/smartest method). Also, as you can see a character is in the shot and moves some but not a lot. There is a fair bit of the background that will be entirely the same from frame to frame. How best can I automate as much of the process as possible?

Jun 15, 2011The image above is some text with various blending options applied ... well a part of it.
I have applied and outerglow and a drop shadow to the text. But, I want that gap to be filled with white and to have no drop shadow as you can see.
How can I achieve that? I assume with some sort of masking? I want to ensure the text can be resized so rasterizing and painting that area white is not an option.

May 27, 2004I am having trouble filling the background when I put a mask on an image. It used to work, but now when I hit the fill button, it fills the background the color I want, but it also fills part of my image I have masked. It is about 50% filled.
For example, if I am putting a whitebackground on an image, the background becomes white, but the image also gets a white film over it. Even if I try and cut the image, it still adds the white film over the image when I paste it in.

Photoshop :: Photo Masking And Web 2.0
May 14, 2007The photoshop I am using is CS3.
I was looking into developing my skills of Photo Masking and designing Web 2.0 layouts. With Photo Masking, I have no clue where to start. I've been trying to find some good tutorials but they are quite complicated. I believe it would be easier for me to learn "the action" of adding a powder layer or whatever than to download an action (which I can't find anyway). This would also help my knowledge.
I am thinking of designing a Web 2.0, corporate kind of website for my Dad (who owns a plumbing business.) However, because of his logo, which is an annoying shape and due to the nature of the business, I can't seem to think of any ideas and get started with a general layout before adding the glossy buttons, gradient backgrounds etc.
I think that a long running tutor would be better to help me with the Web 2.0 designing. All in all, it would be awesome for someone to help a budding "aspiring" designer get ahead of the game!
Any cool techniques or effects that you can do would also be awesome to be taught with someone as a tutor, rather than reading a poorly written tutorial!
An example of some work I have done in the past is here (Warning - Contains Partial Nudity). This was the main image of a Div Layer layout I made for somebody as a favour (clearly it is not a corporate website).
Photoshop :: Masking With Lines
Apr 24, 2006how they use lines to fade an image by incrementally increasing the height of the each line. Something like whats in this link. I'm pretty sure they are masking an object with lines with different levels of thickness but my question is how do i determine those lines....

Photoshop :: Masking 3d Composition
Jan 11, 2008I've built this 3d model and i need some help compositing into the photo
the problem im having is that i need to keep the monkey puzzle tree and the bare tree infront of the building but apart from painting a mask buy hand i i'm struggeling to get any decent results.
Here is a quick mock up i did but i need to mask out the trees accurately
I managed to get the trees where they over lap the sky because the background was contrasting and consistant using the technique below but it removes the bottom of the building and only helped with the trees that intercept the sky line.
I'm using Photshop 6.

Photoshop :: Layer Masking
Dec 20, 2007I'm not quite sure what I did to screw this up, but for the past few days, I can't fully airbrush blend/ remove parts of an image when layer masking (i.e. when airbrushing out @ 100% hardness, opacity, fill, flow... all the good stuff... the image I'm trying to airbrush out remains as though I've just taken the opacity or fill down to about 5%). I've tried messing with different types of brushes, but nothing seems to work.
