Levels/Layer Question. HELP!

Okay. So I use Elements 6.0 to create graphics and such. I know, kinda geeky. But all of a sudden, when I try to create layer masks (since elements does not have the mask tool), it doesn't work like it used to. Here is an example:
So I start out with two layers, as you can see. http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab298/WhoaitsTehya/Picture2-2.png
Then, I make a levels chart, and group the picture to the levels. http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab298/WhoaitsTehya/Picture4-1.png
But then I get this: http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab298/WhoaitsTehya/Picture3-2.png
It cuts off most of my picture! I don't know why, but for some reason the dimensions of the photo behind it cut the other photo to shape it. (Does that make sense?) I'm so confused and frustrated. I've tried figuring it out, but nothing seems to work. What did I do and what can I do to fix it?
If I'm sounding like a babbling idiot and do not make sense, tell me so that I can try to explain it better.
Thank youu!

To get that to blend those two photos stacked like that, fill layer 1 with a solid color. In the mask, drag out a gradient using the reflected gradient option (black to transparent) in the middle of the mask. I doctored your screen shot to show how the layers should look to get the image layer 3 + image layer 2 to transition in the middle. (Note: Hold the shift key in when you drag the gradient to make the gradient drag at out even.)

  • Find a specific Sublayer and move to top level layer

    I have a lot of illustrator files that are organized by a template size. The layers are setup so that the top level layer is always Template. However the sublayer I need to move to the top level could be called 42 Pg Border or 30 Pg Border or 24 Pg Border.
    Is there a way for a script to search through the layers and if it finds "42 Pg Border" or "30 Pg Border" or "24 Pg Border" in the sublayer Template it would move it to the top level but if it doesn't see one of those it doesn't give an error?
    I'm still new to scripting so the extent of my knowledge on this is to scan all the layers and unlock them. Then look for a specific layer name. It's the sublayer and moving it to the top level that I am not sure of.
    Here is my current code:
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var allLayers = doc.layers;
    for (var i = allLayers.length-1; i >= 0; i--){
        allLayers[i].locked = false;
        if (allLayers[i].name == "42 Pg Border" || allLayers[i].name == "30 Pg Border" || allLayers[i].name == "24 Pg Border") {
            alert("I found the " + allLayers[i].name + " layer")
        } else {
            alert("Not the right layer")
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    I am using CS4 on a Windows 64 Bit PC with JavaScript

    OK so that code is really close! I tweaked it a bit. I kept getting an error that said cannot move a locked layer. So I just made a loop to unlock ALL the layers first thing. Then to get rid of some of the "extra" code I wrote I changed this line:
    if (layer.name == "42 Pg Border" || layer.name == "30 Pg Border" || layer.name == "24 Pg Border") {
    to this.....
    if ((layer.name).substr(-6) == "Border") {
    So now instead of looking for 42 30 24 (and other border templates I may have to add) I just told it to look at the 6 characters at the end of the string (which will always be the word Border).
    OK so now the code runs and does what it is supposed to but I am getting an undefined in my javascript console in extendscript. Any ideas?
    Current updated code:
    var doc = app.activeDocument;   
    var allLayers = doc.layers;  
    var count = 0;
    for (var z = allLayers.length-1; z >= 0; z--){
        allLayers[z].locked = false;
    for (var i = allLayers.length-1; i >= 0; i--){ 
    deeper(allLayers[i]);
      if (count == 0){ 
         alert("No Border Layer Found"); 
    function checkLayer(parent,layer){    
        if ((layer.name).substr(-6) == "Border") {   
      layer.move(allLayers[0],ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE); 
            ++count; 
    function deeper(parent){ 
    var subLayers = parent.layers; 
      if (subLayers.length > 0){ 
      for (var i = subLayers.length-1; i >= 0; i--){   
      checkLayer(parent,subLayers[i]); 
      if (count>0){return} 
      deeper(subLayers[i]); 
      } return 

  • Basic Layer Question ( I should already know).

    Scenario:
    I open an image/ Background layer. I duplicate that layer, and apply a Levels adjustment that I'm happy with.
    Next, I decide to do an "effect" layer such as sharpening, etc., but I want to be able to control the effect of the "Sharpening" Layer with the Opacity Slider, without effecting the Levels Layer below.
    If I Duplicate the Levels Layer, or select Layer New-"Layer Via Copy" for the Sharpening Layer, moving the Opacity Slider, on the Sharpening Layer, will also effect the degree of Levels adjustment on the Levels Layer, as it's a Duplicate of that layer.
    "New Layer", or "New Layer From Background" doesn't seem to work either???
    Best regards,
    Leigh

    Leigh,
    It sounds like you need to be using a Level Adjustment Layer rather than duplicating your background layer and applying Level to that. You can have your Levels Adjustment Layer sitting on top of all your other layers, affecting them all. You can then dupe your background layer and do whatever you want to it while the Levels Adj. Layer affects it independently.
    If you're not familiar with Adjustment Layers, read about them in the help menu. I think they will solve your problem.

    Im having a dillema. my whole game rests on being able to

    I forget security question, help me recover?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

    About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
    I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
    i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
    Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
    Thanks!

    Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.

  • 3D Path Layer Question - Pls Help

    To get you up to speed, I have a large composition with all elements set up as 3D layers.  These layers are all in different positions/depths within the comp.
    I have a complicated camera animation in place to move about the individual objects.  What I'm trying to do is create a path that will in-turn be a 3D layer and would like to be able to select individual points of that path and adjust the z depth accordingly.
    I need it to snake it's way in and out of this pre-existing 3D comp.
    The idea is to use Trapcode's 3D stroke to animate the line moving along, however once I make the path into a 3D object, I can't seem to edit the individual points depth.
    Is this even possible?  Is there another method with AfterEffects I can try.
    Like I said, I've already got the elments and camera move plotted, I need to plot a path in space around these elements.
    ANY input is greatly appreciated as I've been at this all day and I initially thought it would be something simple.
    Thanks to all.

    You're  throwing different unrelated things in the same pot. 3D Stroke operates on masks, not paths. Masks are aalways tied to the layer and since AE layers have no dimensionality, always stay flat. Hence what you wanna do is not possible with the method you chose. If you want a stroke in 3D, you'd have to create a genuine 3D path with a 3D Null object or light, then have a 3D particle system like Particular render the trail by defining the 3D layer as the emitter.

  • Set Text of Layer Question

    A Very Easy Question.
    I attempt to "set text of layer." I click on the plus sign on
    the behaviors window, and set text to layer. A cute little box pops
    up. In the Layer drop down box is a host of "unnamed
    <span>"s. None of my divs are listed. In the body of this
    page are Plenty of ID'd divs. I have named layers out the wazoo.

    It would depend entirely on your level of HTML expertise.
    One way to solve the problem would be to use an IFrame to
    contain the
    external content on the page, but a frame is a frame is a
    frame. By that I
    mean that IFrames usually provide all the user problems that
    frames do.

    Linking from one page to another is how static HTML pages
    work. Having a
    single page to display multiple content elements as loaded
    from a database
    requires that the page return to the server to fetch new
    content from the
    database on each click. Either method requires a page
    refresh.
    Linking to content that is placed within an IFrame doesn't
    require this page
    refresh, but carries other disadvantages as mentioned above.
    Does that help at all?
