How can you erase part of the black & white layer on Photoshop CS6?

I've been trying to earse part of the b&w layer to have color pop because it's easier for some floweres instead of magic lassoing. Unfortunatly my earser tool will not let me earse some of the black and white layer. What can I do to fix this issue?

Try using a Layer Mask, and paint black on the mask to cause the Black and White adjustment to become "transparent" in those areas and reveal color.
If you cause the transparency to go outside the bounds of what you want, paint white on the Layer Mask to make it apply the adjustment layer effect again.
Grayscale on the Layer Mask will cause partial transparency.
Have fun discovering the neat stuff you can do with Layer Masks.

  • How can you erase old back up from my external drive which i placed in the trash?

    I removed some old back up from time machine which are on my external drive and it now in the trash. But the old back up is not erasing from my trash can. How can you removed this from the trash without reformatting the external drive.

    You really should not remove any Time Machine backups using that or any other method.
    Go to > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions 12 and scroll down to the section in gray at the bottom of the article.

    How can I erase burnfolders in the side-bar?

    You can also try this.
    Go to your home folder>Library>Preferences - delete/trash the files labeled "com.apple.finder.plist" and "com.apple.sidebarlists.plist" and then restart your computer.  Empty the trash once you reach the desktop.  The untitled dvd folder & burn icon should now be gone from the Finder sidebar.
    In addition to removing preference files, if you don't want to use the sidebar for managing CDs and DVDs you can go to the Finder preferences and uncheck the option to show CDs, DVDs, and iPods in the sidebar to prevent them from appearing there in the first place.

    How can I erase (or remove) the hard drive from a dead Time Capsule?

    I found this having had the same problem...
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=553818
    Having removed the hard drive I'm finding I can't reformat it. I manage to mount the HD but Disk Utility crashes when trying to format (HD attached to Mac via Newer Tech. SATA cables to USB) and causes what I think is a kernal panic on my Mac which hard crashes. I see 3 partitions when attempting to mount one of which is AFP. Anyone got any ideas about how to do this? I've dug around but the only progress I've made is to note others have had to work around ACL's when replacing the logic board of the TC. Not sure if this even relates to the problem. However the tool for doing this seems to have been removed from SL. (Forum references to this procedure all relate to 10.5).

  • How do you apply a vector mask to a folder in Photoshop CS6?

    The ways you apply vector masks in CS6 is different than in CS5.
    I knew how to apply a vector mask to a folder of layers in CS5.
    I cannot figure out how to do it in CS6.
    So my question is:
    How do you apply a vector mask to a folder in Photoshop CS6?
    And while we're at it, what are the best methods for applying vector masks to regular layers?
    Thanks.

    The thing is, Im not usiing the pen tool to create the vector shape. Im using the vector box tool to create a rectangle [...]
    Yes and that's why I wrote the words "vector tool" and never mentioned a pen. (Although the instructions would be exactly the same for using the Pen Tool because the Pen Tool is a vector tool.)
    which I then want to turn into a layer group mask.
    And yes, this does not work the same way as it did in CS5.
    I wish it did. : |
    Adding a vector mask to a layer or group is exactly the same in CS5.1 and CS6 on my Mac. Maybe that's done differently in CS5 than in CS5.1, but it seems unlikely.
    You have the layer or group targeted. Now draw a rectangular path after making sure the Rectangle Tool is in Path mode, and not Shape mode and not Pixel mode. Then Cmd/Ctrl-click the Add Mask button at bottom of Layers panel.

  • HT1535 How can you do this on the new iTunes 11?

    How can you sync your iphone manually on the new iTunes 11?

    To analafond: (and everyone else)
    I don't have an answer for you but I'm going thru the same thing. I just want to select MANUALLY MANAGE MY MUSIC AND VIDEOS on iTunes so that I can ADD -- not remove or replace -- what I already have on my iPhone.
    I couldn't find an answer so I just went ahead and "replaced" music and added movies to my iPhone. I thought I had the "manually" box selected. It wiped out ALL my ringtones and everything else important to me. Thank you God for iCloud.
    BUT with iCloud, in order to actually use this fabulous feature, you have to "restore to factory settings" So you have to strip it down and start over. Grrrr.
    So I wanted my ringtones back and I got everything I had BACK (minus a few text messages and photos I didn't back up) but I'm still having the same issue.
    THE MANUALLY MANGAGE MUSIC SELECTION BOX DOES NOT WORK!! I don't want to have to load my iPhone with what I want -- back it up -- strip it down -- bring it all back -- just to get what I want on my device. But then iCloud does NOT back up your music unless you "purchased" it. Seriously? That's unfair and stupid. I have 80 GB of music on my computer. I want to put what I want on my iPhone.
    Anyone? Anyone? APPLE? This is the worst update ever.
