Help to blend layers
Hi all,
Can you help me? I have imported two images from LR into Elements (I also sometimes use PS CS3 which is why I'm posting here too). One was shot 2 stops darker than the other and the sky is much nicer. I place the lighter layer above the darker and make an adjustment layer like this....
and select several areas of the sky with the magic wand. I think select similar and fill this area with black to show the darker sky through from behind but as you see from this partial screengrab it's just not realistic...
Is there a trick to blending (painting on adjustment layer with a brush in a certain mode/layer mode or whatever) that can help me with this? A normal horizon is no trouble but when there are trees like this it all goes to pot! Thanks for any help you can offer.
Phil
Sorry for the lack of pics.Here are the pics though they are from Elements. I eventually used this tutorial which someone suggested in the Elements forum... http://www.thelightsright.com/files/tutorials/BlendedExposuresRevisited/BlendedExposuresRe visited.pdf and which worked...OK. I will have to practice I think. Thanks for the help
This is what I WAS seeing and after the turial I got this...
It lacks pop for sure and just isn't that great an image but worth a try, for sure. Like I say, I need practice
Thanks all,
Phil

Can I Auto Blend layers in Photoshop Elements?
I have seen face-swapping tutorials online using the "auto-blend layers" tool In Photoshop CS6. Is there a way to do the same thing in elements?
Thanks for the help,
ErikHi Broad Arrow builders,
99jon is right.
However, that is assuming you already know the dimensions (99jon rightly describes setting the dimensions in advance) of the logo in advance, and you're going to use the logo you need for one specific use only. A logo you make in Photoshop Elements may not always remain clear and legible when you scale it up or down. I say that because logos will, generally, find their way into lots of places - letterheads, banners, T-shirt emblems, and other places. You might need different sizes for different needs.
You might want to use a vector graphics tool like Illustrator for logo design.
Phew! Okay - temporary fix - PSE 11 will work great! Permanent fix - for multiple designs and dimensions - you might need a different tool.
Cheers,
David -
CS6 beta: Auto-Blend Layers fale
Doing some focusstacking with 17 images and than CS6 beta stopped working:
"Could not complete the Auto-Blend layers command because of a programm error"
Tried it out several times, all the same.....Dear Chris,
I get the posted fale today on my CS6 beta. There is no possibility to
contact Adobe directly to bring them information. Is this normal to have
no support? There is only the forum. This is a way, I don't like. Okay,
because I am frindly and wants to help Adobe I used the forum. But where
is the button to change my language? I couldn't find the German button.
Normaly Adobe must be interested in getting informations about problems,
YOU want to sell your products. I didn't get money for my time to inform
you.
I think you are able to do focusstacking with PS. Look at the picture
and you can see how many layers I used. For more details a German
speaking Adobe-member can email me. The same picture works with a
freeware-software. Name me a reason to buy PS6 for focusstacking at this
moment?

I recently downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Cs5. I haven't had many problems and I like it a lot except for ONE thing! I cannot figure out how to blend layers! When I upload my first layer (my image) it shows in the layers palette. But when I upload my second layer (texture) it not only jumps on top of my first layer in the layers palette, but it ALSO jumps on top of my first layer (the image) in the work area. I have watched a lot of the Photoshop tutorials and I've noticed that when they upload their second layer it shows SEPARATELY from the first image in the work area. They then click on the second layer and drag it over onto the first layer and then they are ready to start working on blending. For the fact that my second layer jumps on top of my first layer in the work area like it does, I am not able to follow along with the tutorials! I have also tried and tried to figure out how to manage to blend by trying lots of techniques and options in the program but nothing will work. I use textures and depend on blending A LOT with my editing so this has been very discouraging! I have used other editing programs and usually with them, after you duplicate your first layer and then upload another you are able to blend with no problem. So I do not understand this at all! You can even blend with no problem by duplicating your first layer in Photoshop Elements 10.
If someone could help me with this, it would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you!No, you seem to have understood me very well! The thing is, I have used Photoshop, but I'm not a professional with Photoshop and with some parts of the program it can be very confusing and hard to understand! I'll try to be a little more precise!
When I open Photoshop Cs5, I click on "open" in the File menu to bring in my image into the work area. Once I do that, it appears in the layers palette. I then go to File and click "open" again to bring in my texture (to blend with my image). The texture jumps right on top of my image in the layers palette and it ALSO jumps on top of my first layer in the work area. (I have made sure to "unlock" my layer in the layers palette.) In the tutorials, when they open their second layer it comes in as separate from the first layer in their work area. So, therefore, I have been unable to follow along with the tutorials.
*Is the second layer (the texture) supposed to lay on top of the first layer in the work area??* It certainly doesn't by what they show in the tutorials on Photoshop Cs5! They show it coming in as separate from the first layer in the work area.
When you say "Select all Ctr/Cmd a" what exactly do you mean?? Sorry! Like I said, I'm not completely amateur, but I'm no professional either! And compared with those who have used Photoshop for a very long time, yes, I'm probably a dumby!
I think I have an idea of what you mean and I'm going to try it.
Thank you so much for your time and help! I can certainly use all the help I can get! With layering anyway. -
Photoshop freezes when using Auto-Blend Layers - Stack Images
I used to have CS5 on my computer, after which I used the CS6 trial, and I never had any problems when stacking images using Auto-Blend Layers -> Stack Images. However, I recently purchased a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and after uninstalling the old PS versions and installing Cloud, Photoshop freezes every time I try to stack images.
My computer has very good specs, runs Windows 7, and both the OS and PS are up to date.
Why is PS freezing? What can I do to fix the problem?Sure, here you go:

Is there an issue with Edit Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014?
The command Edit > Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014.1 does not seem to produce the expected results for me. For example, I used the Edit > Auto-Blend Layers command when I was doing the exercise on Adding Depth of Field starting on page 122 of the Photoshop CC 2014 CIB. The results: Instead of the foreground and background being both in focus, only the foreground was in focus. The background was out of focus. And, when I turned off visibility of the foreground layer, the background layer showed as transparent.
There seems to be.
See this thread:
Since installing the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago, Auto Blend for focus stacking is selecting all pixels from the bottom layer instead of selecting the ones in best focus from each layer. Has anyone else seen this problem? -
Where is the auto blend layers in elements 13
where is the auto blend layers in elements 13? why don't i have a tool bar on the elements page?
That function doesn't exist in Elements, only Photoshop; however, some people have written plug-ins that will allow it so if you're seeing a tutorial maybe that's the situation.
Elements 13 does have several layer blending functions, so will any of those work for what you want to do?
Here is a thread where someone talks about using an recorded PS action in PSE 12 and they include a .zip file in post #14. I don't know if it'll still work in PSE13 or not:

Analog of Auto Align Layers and Auto Blend Layers?
In Photoshop you can use Auto Align Layers then Auto Blend Layers to select the region that is in focus from each layer. How can I do the same thing in PSE 9? Thanks.
No, you really can't do focus stacking in PSE without a third party plug-in of some sort. This thread is about PSE 8, but it applies to PSE 9 as well:

Eraser + Auto-Blend layers = problem
Hello,
I've been using "Auto-Blend layers" to edit faces in Photoshop. For example: putting Brad Pitt's face on Tom Cruise's face or something like that... However, I seem to have the exact same problem each time.
I use the following method:
Two layers (layer 1 = background = original person) + face of new person (layer 2 = cut out from different .psd with pen tool).
Align faces with eachother (try to match eyes/lips/nose)
Erase parts to make it fit better
Select pixels layer 2
Select "Inverse" layer 2
Select Modify -> Expand -> 6px layer 2
Select "Inverse" layer 2
Delete selected part on the layer 1 with background (layer 1 original face gets deleted)
Select both layers
Auto-Blend Layers
Result done
This entire method works fine, except for the eraser part. (Erase parts to make it fit better) When I use my eraser on the new face to erase some parts that overlap the original face or something, it always turns out bad after using Auto-Blend layers. You can see parts of the transparent background -> it doesn't fit properly. This only happens when I use the eraser. When I use the entire method without fixing some parts with the eraser, it works fine but this way the face doesn't fit 100% since certain details don't match.
Anyway, I wonder why the eraser messes up Auto-Blend layers. I even tried moving the new face (I used eraser on) to a new .psd with the same original person and Auto-Blend layers keeps having parts of the transparent background when the faces get auto-blended. How can I fix this?You probably would have to go into the mechanics of what the auto blend layer tool is doing. It is meant to stitch two images together such as a panarama. Your case is a little different and erasing may disturb the way the tool combines the underlying layers.

CS5 - Why are Edit Auto Blend Layers (and Auto Align Layers) gray and not accessible?
I have CS5 and would like to try focus stacking. I File > Automate > Photomerge with a few photos. They have been aligned in layers. I would like to Auto Blend Layers but the function is gray and not accessible.
Thanks,
MarkThank you THANK YOU. As I was doing this I realized you asked me to show my selected layers. I haven't been doing that. I thought photoshop would blend all open layers. Thanks again.

I can't seem to find blending options for layers anywhere in Elements 3.0. . . I'm trying to follow this guide: http://www.pixeldigest.com/contentbox001.html It says to right-click the layer and choose Blending options. But I don't see that anywhere? Could someone point me in the right direction?
TIA :)Kevin,
Open the layers palette. At the top on left you should see a box with a drop down arrow. The default is "normal." Click on another option to visualize the change. If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, you can scroll through the entire list.

Help needed with layers and project files....
Hello
I am new to after effects so this might be a simple issue for most. I am having an issue with my layers not matching the files in my project window. I accidently deleted a comp file the other day so I had to remake a few layers but they are not showing up in the project window/solids folder. I have 5 layers on my timeline and only 4 files in the project/solids folder. Some of the files names do not match the ones in the timeline. Is there a way to create a new comp with the files that I have open in my timeline or to replace the ones in the project window? I started a project a few days ago, Im trying to make a few partical orbs dancing on there own path then they will come together and then creates a few smaller ones. Im at the point where I want to copy one comp to another or copy the layers over but the particals follow one light instead of the original light from its own comp. I think the file names in the project window might be the issue but I really don't know. Any help or comments would greatly be appreciated
Thanks a million
Adam
Using trapcode particular and AE CS6
Windows systemLayers on the timeline are just instances of the source footage. If you rename them on the timeline, that won't affect the number or naming of the sources in the project window. Toggle the column header in the TL to see which laywer uses which source.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am helping
design a site for a small non profit boating club. When I view the
site in IE is looks fine, but in Firefox, all the layers are moved.
I read the Apptools Page Layout 101, and think that this describes
my problem. However, I am still confused how to fix it. I have been
reading through all my dreamweaver books as well as class notes but
still don't get it. ( do I change the css code in code view or
through the css panel on the right?)
If anyone could please give me an example of the CSS code
that I need to use I would be very grateful.
