I pick a photo, make a copy, add a mask and when I use a brush nothing happens to the mask or the picture. White or black?

If I understand you correctly, you have
Opened an image, and copied the background layer.
Added a layer mask, and finding that painting in the mask makes no difference whether you paint with black or white.
That is what you would expect to happen if both layers are identical. To demonstrate, make a change to the copied layer. Either change the blend mode to Multiply, or lower the opacity, or paint big red stripes across it. Now when you paint with black, the red stripes will disappear where the mask is black, and be visible where the make is white.

When forwarding mail i select a group to send mail and when i go to select another group it will not open for me to select other emails in that file.

When you select a "group", it automatically selects everyone in that group.
If your just trying to add other people outside that group, then in the "To" make sure the curser is just after the last entry and you can hold your finger on that line to get your contact list to pop up or after the last entry you should have showing after that ;
Example: [email protected]; [email protected]; *notice the ; then a space for the next one

When I use the selection tool to move vector points and bend edges, I only see the change in wire frame.

When I use the selection tool to move vector points and bend edges, I only see the change in wire frame. Once I commit by letting go of the mouse button, the object does change. It just previews with a wire frame. I would like to see the preview change on the solid object. Is there a setting somewhere?
I sure hope I am explaining this for people to understand .
Thanks
Ed

Hi Ed,
What do you mean by wire frame??And are you using selection or sub-selection tool since you have mentioned about vector point I doubt if it is sub-selection tool.Could you please attach a video demonstrating the issue where we see the mismatch in the preview and the output, so that we can understand the problem better and try to resolve it.
Thanks,
Sangeeta

Add vector mask to smart filter

You can apply a mask to smart filters, but I can't find a way to apply a vector mask to smart filters.
As a workaround I make a selection from a path and make a filter mask from that selection. That works just fine, but I'm still wondering if it's possible to apply the vector mask directly to the smart filter.

I don't believe you can add a vector mask directly to smart filters but you could add a vector mask from path to the layer.

Hi, i am trying to smoothskin in photoshop cs6 and when i add a layer mask and try to use my paintbrush nothing apears to happen? help please

Add vector mask to artLayer [PS CS5 JS]

Is there a way to make it.
Looks like the artLayer object doesn't have any method to make this...

You need to use Action Manager code (as recorded by ScriptingListener.plugin).
// 2015, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
try {
// =======================================================
var idMk = charIDToTypeID( "Mk " );
    var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref3 = new ActionReference();
        var idPath = charIDToTypeID( "Path" );
        ref3.putClass( idPath );
    desc5.putReference( idnull, ref3 );
    var idAt = charIDToTypeID( "At " );
        var ref4 = new ActionReference();
        var idPath = charIDToTypeID( "Path" );
        var idPath = charIDToTypeID( "Path" );
        var idvectorMask = stringIDToTypeID( "vectorMask" );
        ref4.putEnumerated( idPath, idPath, idvectorMask );
    desc5.putReference( idAt, ref4 );
    var idUsng = charIDToTypeID( "Usng" );
        var ref5 = new ActionReference();
        var idPath = charIDToTypeID( "Path" );
        var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
        var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
        ref5.putEnumerated( idPath, idOrdn, idTrgt );
    desc5.putReference( idUsng, ref5 );
executeAction( idMk, desc5, DialogModes.NO );
} catch (e) {}

When i paint either black or white on layer mask it erases picture pixels also path selection tool does not work

I would try resetting your preference file first: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14226-Resetting-(or-Trashing-)-the-Lightroom -Preferences-file
Also, install the latest version 4.4.1 would probably be a good idea.

Is there a way to load a tab group that I named and closed WITHOUT using "restore previous session", "recently closed tabs/windows" which doesn't restore it..

grouped some tabs, named them and closed them; did some activity afterwards; closed FF and restarted;
tried options mentioned above, but they did not restore that tab group - seems to be already classified as "not belonging to previous session", or whatever;
the name of the tab group can still be found in the sessionstore.js file tho;
is there any way to search for named group tabs and load them?
If not, pls implement that - otherwise the use of grouping tabs does not make sense to me, and I would not see any reason to use it;
Please restore the "Bookmark all tabs" functionality in the bookmarks menu. Users need to know that this option is available, and should have easy access to the functionality of a software product to be able to use the options, not to have to turn to google every time to figure out if the browser that they are currently using is able to do this or that, and if yes how they can invoke the desired functionality.
Thank you.

did not have that extension installed, but did it now and can't find anything there that would concern tab groups. (also referred to as Panorama). This session manager seems to provide a lot of stuff that the browser is supposed to do anyhoo, but with more options of configuration. Hope extension and browser won't cause a mess while attempting to do both the same thing.
Yes, I know that Bookmark all tabs is still available via right click - after a google-search told me so. My feedback was - why remove functionality from the menu? It's really not overloaded - and I'd expect a menu listing me the complete set of functions a software allows me to do, unless it busts the menu. So I was just asking myself - how come it has been removed? Makes no sense to me.
Thanks for your reply.

Brush tool with vector mask

I have Photoshop CS2 and I am trying to "fix" a photo. I'm using a tutorial,and it worked on a previous photo but seems to have quit on me.
I made a new layer from the original layer, used filter> other> high pass (set to 3.5) then image> adjustments>desaturate. Inverted the layer added a vector mask and inverted that as well. I set the blending mode to overlay, and the foreground color to white.
When I go to paint over the skin, nothing happens. I'm not sure if I have changed some setting accidentally or what, like I said, this did work for me earlier, but doesn't now. When I hide the original layer, there is nothing!! I'm not very proficient in any area of photoshop, so if someone has an idea about what I've done, the more specific you can be the better!
I've closed the program and reopened it and it still does not work. I'm not sure what else to do!
thanks for any help!!!

this is the tutorial I'm using, I'm on step 10.

Is your brush set to normal blending? Opacity of brush at something reasonable (10-100%)? Opacity of overlay layer at 100%?
Try re-inverting the mask and see if the "blurred effect" reappears. If it doesn't, then something is wrong with the overlay layer. Your steps seem OK (except the vector mask ;) ).

Why does the vector selection tool (white arrow) change layer selection to another vector mask?

I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
Does anyone know any resolution for this?
I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?

What version of Photoshop are you using????
The White Arrow tool is the direct selection tool and it work best way you point it at a path segment line and click once. When you do all the control points in a close path segment will be marked with little squares and the two control point adjacent to where you clicked will have handles you can adjust.
You can also drag out a rectangle with the direct selection tool. When you do you may select many closed paths in a path a path may have many sub paths and each has a mode like add, subtract, intersect etc, and each has a stacking order like in a layer stack. So if you drag out a rectangle many paths control points will be marked and control point adjacent to crossing rectangle will have handles. Can be very confusing.
Here are two screen capture the first on shows the layer palette and path palette. You can see many shapes and path with sub paths and modes. I also targeted layer a vector mask. The selected the direct selection tool and in the image window I pointed at the 45 degree oval path near the top right. You cab see the four control points and two with handles. The second screen capture I only captured the image window. I used the direct selection tool and draged out a rectangle and you cab see many segments control points and many have handles. I have no problem selecting what I want to select

Vector Mask - Arrgh! (Bug or Feature?)

I'm frustrated by some behaviors of Vector Masks. I'm asking the forum about this because I'm curious how many others have experienced these issues
• When I'm working on a layer that has a VM, (i.e. when that layer is active), it is IMPOSSIBLE to load any other path as a selection.
For example: I've made a layer that has both a Layer Mask and a VM. I need to load some other paths as selections in order to further modify the Layer Mask. With the LM active, I Cmnd Click on another path in the Path Palette, but it is the VM of that layer that gets loaded as a selection. The VM seems to override all other paths. The only work around is to click to another layer, load a path as a selection, and then click back to the LM of the layer with the VM.
• If I click on a layer with a Vector Mask the Vector Mask then becomes active (lines around it). This occurs even when clicking the layer, NOT the Layer Mask or the Vector Mask (VM). Even with the VM inactive, mousing over it in the layer palette makes the VM path appear, briefly. Having the path pop into visibility is distracting when I'm trying to look at something else.
Everyone in our studio experiences this behavior.
What makes VM paths so dominant? Is there a pref somewhere that controls this? Is this an Open GL glitch? Is this a feature that I am using incorrectly? Or is this a documented bug?
(Because someone will ask, "Why have both layer mask and vector mask on one layer?"
I have both LM and VM because it gives me flexibility in editing, for instance I can have the LM hard edged, and the VM feather 10 pxl so it is easy to create a mask effect that has different qualities of edge blur within it).
Thanks in advance for anyone's input.

Ginger,
Using paths is an extremely powerful function in Photoshop and Illustrator. If you intend to do high-end work in either program learning the path tool is fundamental. It gives you the ability to create very smooth and graceful shapes. Often I find that I can create a path on an area of a photo that is much cleaner than the shape captured in the photograph of a product. Manufacturing runs, especially preliminary runs, have defects in the mold/process that when photographed at high resolution appear objectionable. Using the Pen Tool I will draw a better shape, the shape intended by the product designer, and use that mask to clean up manufacturing errors. Since these images are used in high-end display images, the cleaned-up image is acceptable to the client whent the straight photo would not be.
The Lasso tool is defintitely a "go to" option, but there is no substitute for the Pen Tool in making perfect selections. They can be converted into layer masks. They can have feathering applied. I often have layers with BOTH Layer Masks and Vector Masks because of the variable feathering that gives me. I can only suggest that the Pen Tool is a must-have in any Photoshop artist's tool-kit.

How do I move a pattern layer independent of its vector mask?

I've created a pattern fill layer and assigned a vector mask to it. How do I move the pattern around without affecting the mask? I realize if I want to rotate the pattern I'd need to convert it to a smart object, but if I only need to adjust the pattern location there must be some way to do that without moving the vector mask along with it. A traditional layer shows the vector and raster mask layer with a lock icon, but fill pattern layers are different for some reason. Can someone "fill" me in?

Yes, I understand that. I am working with pattern layers, not layers filled with a bitmap pattern.
That is not what your showing above in red above your showing a shape layer in CS6 a pattern fill layer with a vector mask is a cs6 shape layer. Even the icon on the layer's content in the layers palette shows its a shape layer. You can edit the vector mask you can not unlink it. For its a cs6 shape layer. As you noted you can first convert pattern fill layer into a smart object layer. It then acts like a normal pixel layer with an associated transform to the canvas size. Your no longer dealing with a pattern fill layer. When you rotate it you will have the same problem with the layers corners areas. CS6 changed shape layers design they have more options then prior versions of Photoshop and prior versions of Photoshop can not handle CS6 shape layers that used cs6 shape options like stroke, line type, and pattern fills.

Unlinked vector mask is discarded when duplicating the document

Photoshop CC 2014 Mac
To reproduce:
1. Have a layer with unlined vector mask
2. Duplicate the document by clicking on the "Create new document from current state" button at the bottom of the History panel
3. The vector mask disappears from the newly created duplicated document
Can anyone verify this...?
@kennethkawamoto

If that is what happens on you machine its either a bug in CC 2014 Maco or something with your install. There is no problem in CC 2014 PC.
