Can you invert a mask in photoshop elements 12?  if not, is there a "walk around" that would achieve the same result?

I am taking a class about using textures...most folks are using photoshop....I don't want to tackle that and try to learn about textures..
can you invert a mask in Elements 12...or is there another way to achieve the same result?
thanks

thanks..
I am having trouble with the keyboard " If you’ve already added the mask, you can invert it by typing command/control + i while the mask is active for editing. "
so maybe I will try again...would love to get it working!
many thanks for your prompt reply

  • Can you create cd sleeves in Photoshop Elements please?

    Hi,
    Can you create cd sleeves in Photoshop Elements please?
    Or is there a software that can create cd sleeves, using a template perhaps?
    I can print my own cd inserts (jewel box) but want to create a card cd sleeve.
    Many thanks,
    Ric

    Thanks all - this has been a real eye-opener. There are companies out there who will design & print cd sleeves for you so the tech is obviously there somewhere, but apparently not for home users.
    Never mind.
    In Adobe Elements 8 I can crop or size my own art work how I want it then set the Win7 default printer programme to print say 4 identical images to A4 which when divided up will fit a typical cd sleeve. If i pop adhesive paper into the inkjet i can then stick my cd art work onto the card sleeves. I will buy these but you could make them. So there is a way round this one, it just takes a bit of head scratching?

    Hi 49balf,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend removing and reinstalling iTunes using these steps:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    You can find the article with these steps and more information here:

    Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC.
    Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later" 
    Have tried that but get the same result.
    Remedies I've tried are:
    wait and try again
    reboot
    reload iTunes
    NB hp is a relatively new machine and has previously backed up quite happily.
    Can anyone assist?

    RHoodnkt-
    Try rebooting the iPad.  Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  It takes a minute or two to restart.
    Also be sure your iPad battery is not completely discharged.

  • How many computers can you use one copy of Photoshop Elements 11 on please?

    I intend to purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for my two student children.  Could you tell me if they will both be able to install in on their respective computers?

    One copy of the software can be installed and activated on two computers but a) they must be used by the same person and b) not at the same.
    Your intended use is not in accordance with conditions set out in the End User License Agreement (EULA)

    2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the
    primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”)
    may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer
    or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home
    Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.
    You should purchase two copies of the software giving each of your children the ability to use the software on two computers.

  • Can you invert a mask in Keynote 09?

    I'm trying to figure out if you can invert a mask in Keynote Instead of the mask being the opaque area of the image, it would be the transparent area of the image. So, you'd have a hole in your image. Does anyone know if this is possible or if there is a workaround? I need to be able to do this inside of Keynote, a PNG with a hole will not work for my situation. Thanks for any input.

    So, I essentially drew a shape and overlapped it on itself to make a hollow area on the inside. I then used that as a mask, worked wonderfully. The whole reason for me doing this is to see if I can put this masked image on a master page, and then place video behind it on a slide with this masked/master. Problem is the video, when behind that masked image, will not give you the controls when rolled over in presentation mode. Keynote doesn't recognize your pointer is over a movie if the masked image sits above that movie. Therefore, you don't get the movie controls in presentation mode.

  • How can I match a color on photoshop to a real car paint color so when printed they will be the same color?

    I want my text to be the same color as a particular car. Is there a way to use the cars paint code for this?

    Depends on where the colour comes from.  The range that printers use are from the Pantone chart, and you can convert those colours to CMYK or RGB values.  Without that sort of reference, I'm not sure it can be done.  If you have a fully calibrated system, then you could scan the maker's chart and sample it, but I don't know how accurate that would be.
    Pantone colors. Convert Pantone colors to RAL, CMYK, RGB, Hex, HSL, HSB, JSON
    How did you hope to use the information? The vehicle below is painted with just one colour, but you'd be hard pressed to get an RGB value because it looks so different depending on the angle.

  • Can't see several thumbnails in photoshop elements organizer grid

  • Photoshop Elements 10 - 'Save As' text no longer displaying existing file, which matches the text so far entered

    Photoshop Elements 10  (On Windows 8.1 64-bit laptop)
    Until recently, 'save as' showed any existing file name, which exactly matched the text so far typed. 
    That's particularly useful when creating multiple photo files, with suffixes of '(1)', '(2)', etc.
    Suddenly that great facility has stopped, forcing me to always type the complete file name for each new item.
    I assume that a setting has been lost.
    How do I get it back?

    Thanks again.
    I held the keys down for at least 15 seconds in my previous attempts.  
    I’ve just tried the entries, holding the keys for around 30 seconds, with the same results (or lack of same).
    Thinking about my thought of copying the Preference settings from the same program on my desktop, I looked on the Internet for Photoshop Elements 10 Preferences file locations.   I found a display, which suggested:  C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements (9.0\10.0\11.0)\Editor
    From that, it appears that mine may be held in:
    C:\Users\Fred Niven\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Editor
    But I’m reluctant to copy any such file from my Windows 8.1 desktop’s Photoshop Elements 10’s file(s),
    to replace the equivalent file(s) on this laptop, until I know that I’m replacing the correct file(s). 
    I’d create a System Restore Point beforehand anyway, just-in-case.
    Cheers,

  • How do you do action recording in Photoshop Elements like you can in regular photoshop?

    How do you do action recording in Photoshop Elements like you can in regular photoshop?
    One of my clients is a club promoter and they would like to put their logo on the bottom left of their photos from their events. Usually I can do this by opening the logo (which has like 50% opacity), copying the logo, recording an action set, pasting the logo i copied to memory into the photo, resize the photo and export and close the photo, save the action set and then just batch- automate and choose all currently opened images to run the action on.
    *I mentioned the 50% opacity because I want to put the logo on the photos but not totally hide what's underneath the logo.
    How do I do the same with photoshop elements?
    -Line

    Just another option that may work for you there are a number of relatively cheap and a couple of freeware programs that are listed here, there are many others I am sure.

    I have not used any of these so I can not recommend of course but most have trial versions.

  • Can't Download Photos to Adobe Photoshop Elements after iPhone Upgrade

    Howdy, I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 with my iPhone ever since I bought my iPhone 3G when they came out and have never had any trouble. Whenever I synced my phone and there were new photos on it, Photoshop Elements would start it's photo downloader program and let me download the pics from my phone and put them in the organizer. Then it would let me delete them.
    But this weekend I took a bunch of photos and now Photoshop Elements startes up during the sync as usual, but before it lets me download any pictures I get a message from Photoshop Elements saying "Downloader needs to close" (or something like that) and I never get the chance to download the pictures. The only way I have to get the pictures off my phone right now is to mail them as attachments.
    A few days ago I upgraded to the 2.2 iPhone software and I was wondering if this might be the source of the problem. Has anyone else heard of any problems like this?

    I'm having the same problem with Elements 6.0. The downloader starts up and I can see the first few pictures in the downloader before the error message comes up and the downloader must shut down. The only way to get pictures off the phone is through Win Explorer. But, when you try to remove the pics off the phone (i.e. move or delete) the phone reboots. The only way to remove the pics is one at a time on the phone itself.
    It is extremely frustrating that Apple has created a decent way to sync music and video, but no iTunes way to handle pictures. Honestly I amazed that Apple has worked so hard to be the standard for music, etc. that they just leave it to the consumer to figure out the picture stuff. Come on Apple.

  • How can I repair organizer in adobe photoshop elements 6.0?

    I ran the optimizer in Norton and after that I couldn't get to the organizer in adobe photoshop elements 6..  When I try to reinstall the program it says to "insert disc 1".  (I am sure you know because lots of people with adobe have this same problem) There is only on CD installation disc named Adobe Photoshop Elements 6. Like a dope I went to the welcome page and clicked it to open with the organizer (which is broken).  So now it sure won't open.  Before I got the message that it had to close and was so sorry!!
    Now I would like to know if I can uninstall 6 and if I do will it come back exactly as it left or will it be repaired and would my slideshow still be there? I've  only spent a year making it and it was just about ready to make a DVD.
    Would appreciate any help.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
    I just uninstalled and re-installed as you suggested.  As far as I can tell everything is there. I got so happy with the uninstall & re-install   that I did the same for the Adobe Premiere Elements. As I said I have been working on family pictures slideshow (family pics that I only have one set of and want to give to 4 children) for almost a year.  I have put classical music to it (because that is what I like).  I have it ready to send to Premiere Elements to make a DVD.
    You have saved me many hours of redoing. Thanks again.
