How do I get my layer mask to work properly

I have Photoshop CS6 64bit I duplicated the layer and applied a Gaussian blur.  I created a layer mask and when I  brush over the layer it does not reveal  the mask  - how do I correct this?Layer Mask

It is hard to tell with out seeing what you have. But black is reveal and white is hide, with grays being the variance of the two. It would not reveal the mask, it would reveal the lower layers. I assume that what you meant, but I added it for new users reading this thread.

  • How do I get my imported form to work properly in Dreamweaver?

    Our client has requested that we import forms directly from their old site to the new one we are creating for them. To clean the form up it was necessary to insert a table within it and reorganize the fields and titles. Unfortunately when I test the form out the confirmation page does not show the input information.
    For example: Here is the original (old) form http://www.co.dekalb.ga.us/parks/contactus_form.htm that is currently active now. If you enter your information it goes through to the proper recipient and displays a confirmation page with all of the contact information you entered.
    Here is the newly designed page in which the old form information has been imported from the code. http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/pr-contact-us .html
    After being imported from the original source code and redesigned in Dreamweaver this form doesn't work properly. When I preview it on the server, fill in the fields and click submit, the confirmation page shows up with all of the field names but none of the information I've input.
    Can anyone take a look at the code and let me know what it may be missing or what I may have messed up when I reformatted the design of the table? Thanks in advance for any solution you can offer.

  • How can i get my n97 back to work properly?

    Hi everybody!
    I need some help, i don't know what to do with my n97...
    I have updated its firmware every time was needed, i've done a lot of hard resets, i've free a lot of space in C, a lot of RAM memory and....it keeps randomly freezing!!
    After six months dealing and struggling with it, i can say some sure things:
    -I think it's a software problem, because every time i do a hard reset, it works perfectly without freezing for a while. Always after a reset all works fine, and always a while after, even if no aplication were installed, the phone start freezing.
    -It worked quite good before the famous kinetic scrolling on firmware v20. Sometimes i try to select an option and the menu scrolls down again and again. I suggest that kinetic scrolling is optional in next firmware revision OR have the chance of downgrading the firmware through NSU, so i can install the firmware that works better for my device.
    Does anyone has fixed this problems?i can't use this phone, i use it as a very expensive 32Gb portable hard drive, while i daily use my old n95 8gb, a very reliable phone.
    Thanks in advance!
    Edit: By the way, any news on firmware update?

    If you've followed the troubleshooting steps in the article that you were reading, then you will have to go into the Apple Store or contact Apple Support to get a repair/replacement set up.

  • How can I get "Edit in Photoshop" to work properly again?

    Hi all,
    I purchased and upgraded to Lightroom 4.0. Got things to work fine with some ACR updates for Photoshop CS3 that I'm currently using. Now have ACR 4.6 installed (the latest for my version of PS) as well as ACR 6.7.
    I was able to make edits to the DNG RAW files in Lightroom 4.0 and then choose Edit in Photoshop (Command-E) and see those changes in a PSD file in Photoshop, where I could make further changes.
    All of a sudden, I went to edit a photo in Photoshop and saw the original DNG file with no Lightroom edits. Some tinkering and update to Lightroom 4.1 but nothing can seem to make it show those Lightroom edits now when I go to Photoshop.
    How did this break? How do I fix it?
    Mac OSX 10.7.3
    Photoshop Lightroom 4.1
    Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1

    My Lightroom 4 was doing a fine job rendering my changes to the RAW file as a PSD on the way into PS, especially after I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 for Photoshop CS3. Then it just stopped, with no warning. To try to fix this problem, I downloaded ACR 6.7 and also LR4.1, but it's still just opening the DNG file when I run Command-E to edit in Photoshop CS3.
    When I use Adobe Bridge CS3 to see the changes I've made in LR4.1 (especially after saving the metadata to the file with Command-S), it shows the updated changes but when I then open in Camera Raw or Photoshop, they're gone.
    Thoughts? I'm worried because Command-E in LR4.1 just opens the DNG without modified changes instead of the PSD file as was customary.

  • How do you get the clone tool to work properly because everytime i try it brings up the brush pallet instead of letting me clone

    i am trying to use the clone tool in photoshop elements on a mac book pro and every time i do it brings up the brush pallet

    No you don’t need to uninstall iPhoto but are you trying to edit a photo from the iPhoto Library?
    If so export a copy from iPhoto to the desktop and then open that copy in the Elements editor.

  • PSE 6 for Mac, how to install the new layer mask tool

    I just bought the new PSE 6 for Mac, whew what a change in the color of workspace.
    My classmates and I are wondering how to install the free layer mask tool that Sue Chastain has on her About site.
    Or perhaps first, has anyone used it and do you like it?
    Do you put it here?

    Havent been to this great forum for a while, been busy, I miss you all, and shall try to visit more often.
    I remember when I was a beginner at this, I learned so much here and you all were amazing help!
    Thanks,

    Hi Barbara,
    Its this one,
    http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/p/layermasks.htm
    So I assumed afterwards that it wasn't for Mac. So I went ahead and installed the older action for my PSE 4.
    I was hoping it was platform agnostic, but when I looked at this, the difference between the 2 versions,
    http://www.jcarter.net/mac-stuff/previewfolder-missing.jpg
    Not knowing where the Previews folder was, threw me overboard.
    And I didn't read all the way down Sue's page, as my old brain got ahead of my eyes.
    So I really dont know what to do next with this, some of my classmates are wondering the same thing.
    Thank you,

  • How do I get the subnet mask

    How do I get the subnet mask for each IP address my host supports in Java? I need to get this so I can send a local broadcast on a specific subnet.
    Thanks,
    Doug Grover

    Actually on windows you are probably going to beusing
    ipconfig."ipconfig" will give you the values for each network
    interface on your machine bound to the TCP/IP
    protocol.
    "route print" will print the windows routing table for
    the network the machine is on.
    Quoted from the Microsoft web site, "The routing table
    is built automatically, based on the current TCP/IP
    configuration of your computer. Each route occupies a
    single line in the displayed table. The routing table
    is searched by your computer for an entry that is the
    most specific match to the destination IP address."
    Yes I know what it does.
    In most cases when someone wants this information they use ipconfig.
    Although your suggestion does work on older boxes as well. But the result is somewhat less evident.

  • I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone an i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone and i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • I am trying to use an education program that needs Java applets to install and use and it will not use Safari. When I download IE from the web it will not install. How can I get a browser that will work on my MacAir for travel use of this program?

    I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

    Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

    This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
    We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
    I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
    Problem:
    My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
    Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera. 
    I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software. 
    Even after removing all the old software, same result:  
    I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.   
    Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.  
    Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution? 
    I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software.  I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome. 
    I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software. 
    I test my camera before going online.  It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.   
    When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

    Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
    if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
    any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
    disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

    Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
    I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
    solution.
    His reply is below :-
    The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
    went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
    160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
    blank screen.  Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
    adjusting the frame rate.
    I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
    might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
    Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
    to adjust the frame rate (?).
    He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
    something does the trick.
    If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
    please jot on a note on this thread.

  • How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

    My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store.  I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID.  Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com).  I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?

    I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

    You can export ONLY Camera Roll photos and videos.

    Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

    What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing.

  • How do I get the RSS feeds to work in iWeb'08 when published to FTP server?

    There are so many unresolved questions because I have published to an FTP server (Netfirms). HOWEVER, my next task at hand is to resolve the issue of a non-working RSS feed and download capabilities.
    The published website is www.vibrationalvoyages.com.
    When using Cyberduck to upload to Netfirms, I have to call the file name vibrationalvoyages.com because Netfirms organizes my files under a main folder called www (I also purchased the .org and .net extensions along with the singular spelling of the title, have forwarded those url's to the .com extension, which means I have different website names under Netfirm's main folder www, all pointing to www.vibrationalvoyages.com).
    I have to drop the www. in front of vibrationalvoyages.com when publishing to a folder on my computer so, when Cyberduck uploads the files into the main www folder, they are read correctly and published as www.vibrationalvoyages.com. In Cyberduck, the ftp address to upload is vibrationalvoyage.netfirms.com
    Before uploading, I use iTweak to insert the Statcounter tracking codes. Then, I use Rage to optimize the site to cut down on the weight (lots of photos). Then, finally, I get to upload which takes about an hour and a half.
    SO, HOW DO I GET THE RSS FEEDS TO WORK AS WELL AS THE OPTION TO DOWNLOAD AN MP3 RECORDED MEDITATIONS? I eventually also want to include the download option of podcasts.
    Please help! I am doing the best I can to stay in love with Mac but he is turning out to be a pot load of work and the love affair is wearing a little thin.
    I haven't even asked about why iWeb still calls some pages 'The family picnic" or why it switches the url addresses to the individual pages. Probably because in the early stages, I copied an entry rather than just do a new one... but I'll worry about that later. I want to get this 'fixed' first and then I'll address the issue, following Roddy's advice to another writer about installing a flash player, for easy download of the MP3 meditations and for when I record the lessons as podcasts. Until I get this RSS issue resolved, however, podcast downloads are out of the question!

    Thank you for checking, Tom,
    I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
    Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
    My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
    On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
    http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
    The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
    So, my question still is:
    HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
    Any ideas?
