Liquifying a mask with it's layer?

How does one go about liquifying an image layer that has a mask on it? I'm liquifying the edge of the mask so I want the mask edge to move with the liquify. Is this possible?

• Either apply the Mask (probably not what you want, but if the Layer is solid Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency might be useful) or
• save the Mesh and apply it to the Mask after Liquifying the Layer itself or
• with CS6 Cloud License converting the Masked Layer to a Smart Object and Liquifying that might work.

  • Image in a layer mask with gradient problem

    Hi,
    I have a image in a layer mask with an gradient on a 30c0m0y100k background and at the gradient from image to background I always get a white "shine". which NOT appears when the background is the standard photoshop-black definition in all colors.
    please have look also here (where the problem is): http://adobe.ly/1yXBCix
    and here where it looks like I want to have it (where I switched the layer mode of the mask to multiply and that causes that my background is not anymore 30c0m0y100k): http://adobe.ly/1HFZfC4
    thanks a lot!

    Yes, just save it and post it here using the little camera icon:

  • Layer Mask with Adjust Skin Tones?

    Is there a way to use a layer mask with the adjust skin tone option in PE4? I like what it did to the skin , but not what it did to the wall in the photo. Thanks.

    Hi Jon there are at least three ways.
    #1..Make a selection.. then apply the skin tone option. Only the selected area will be active.
    #2... Duplicate the layer you want to work on. Apply the skin tone. Then hold the Ctrl key and make a new layer. The new blank layer will be below the layer with the skin tone. Then hold the Alt key and click between the two layers to group them. The skin tone will disappear but you can paint it back with a black brush, or remove with an eraser. Just be sure to have the blank layer active.
    #3... Duplicate and apply tone as in #2. Open an adjustment layer, like levels, directly below the skin tone layer. Click ok do not make any adjustments. Then as above hold the Alt key and click between the layers to group them, look for the link symbol. Now you can remove with a black brush or add with a white brush.

  • Layer mask with background animation

    Hi all,
    I am looking to create a video for my YouTube channel using Layer Mask but I am not too competent in using masks.
    The logo for my channel is here:
    I would like to create a moving background in where the coloured image is but I want to mask out the white areas and keep the text on top. Is it as simple as just creating a hexagonal layer mask with the text in a separate layer?
    Thanks in advance,
    M

    Another way is to use a track matte.

  • Is there a way (script option, exporter option) to export a .psd/.psb file with nested layersets to another layered .psd file with a flat layer structure for greater compatibility? (i.e. CS6/CC/CC '14 to CS4 or older?)

    Just looking for a solution short of having to go in and manually delve through hundreds of layers and reorganize the .psd.  There's a lot of vector elements, layer effects and blending modes as well.  It'd be nice to see Adobe include an exporter for older Photoshop versions that can take a newer file and regenerate it making whatever necessary changes to maintain compatibility across older Photoshop versions and even for cross-compatibility.  I know that's not necessarily in their best interests for additional sales, but it is in the end-user's best interests when they collaborate with others across various file and application formats.

    The first problem here is Layer Styles, if I understand what you are trying to do correctly. You can have arbitrarily nested Layer Sets/Groups (each with its own Layer Style) that contain Layers with their own Layer Styles. This means that for a nested layer, you would have to take it's Layer Style and merge it with the containing Group(s) layer styles in the correct order. Then you have to do the same thing with Layer/Vector Masks and whatever else is involved. It's a non-trivial piece of work. It's not intractable, however.
    There is also the problem that some parts of the Layer Styles are binary blobs that make merging at the JS level impossible.
    If someone has implemented this, I would love to see the implementation.
    What you actually need may be a lot less complicated than the general case. If so, you may be able to find someone to help you out.
    I wish you luck.

  • After creating a mask on a pixel layer and then throwing it away, the pixels disapper

    If I create a mask on a pixel layer and then throw the mask away, the pixels under the old black mask disappear. Help! How do I fix this? I have already reset preferences. I am using the most current version of Photoshop CC 2014 on a Mac with OS 10.9.5

    Or just leave the layer mask in place.  It's a valuable recourse that you might need to use again.  The layer mask exists as an alpha channel.  It's there in the Channels panel when you click on the layer that contains the layer mask.  You might want to restrict an adjustment layer to the same area, or the inverse of that area.  It's not always convenient to do that by clipping — you might be targeting a layer way up the stack.
    OK, you can Ctrl click the layer if you removed the mask by Applying it, but it feels just plain wrong to me to throw a hard won selection in the dustbin.

  • How can I align mask with object in Y axis?

    Hi
    Can anybody help me? I want to put small band on the upper arm of man in the scene, he is walking from right to left, I put my image in upper layer and made rectangle band and animated it with his arm but the problem is that I cant align the band with arm in Y axis, because of that there are some small tremors in the band, how can I define exact point on the arm and align my mask with it?
    Appreciate any help in advance

    ^ Yep, Mylenium is right. There are two ways to do things - the easy way and the hard way. The easy way always involves thinking things through and establishing what you want before you shoot. Can you shoot with the band in place? If not, can you add tracking markers to the arm to facilitate adding the band later?
    The hard way occurs when you have no choice and the work has to be done after the shoot. And Mylenium is dead right - before computers, EVERYTHING was done by hand, manually checking frame by frame until animations were correct. If your footage does not have the adequate preparation or detail for a computer to track, and you're unable to reshoot, the only option is to animate manually, check, fix, re-check, fix etc.
    The Motion Tracking Workflow section of the manual is an excellent introduction:

  • How can I fill mask with pattern?

    Hi
    Would you please help me? How can a add pattern to a mask? I drew a motion mask on video clip and now I want to fill it with pattern that I made in Photoshop and saved as PSD, what should I do? How can I fill mask with specific pattern?
    Thanks for any help

    AE doesn't directly support a pattern-fill like PS, so here's a workaround (as Mylenium suggested):
    Create a PS document and create a layer filled with the pattern required.
    Import the layer/PSD to AE and place in timeline.
    Place a copy of the masked layer above the Pattern layer.
    On the pattern layer, set the Track Matte to Alpha Matte.

  • Clipping mask with white brush won't work

    Hi, im using photoshop cs6 on a mac and when I do a clipping mask and click and try to use a white brush to show more of the mask it doesn't work, however when I use the black brush it does work

    Clipping masks are a little different from, say, vector masks. They simply take into account the content in the base layer they're clipped to, whether they're black, white or any other color.
    To reveal with white, you'd have to insert a vector mask on the base layer and work from there.
    ON EDIT: This assumes you have more content in the base layer to work with, so scratch that. You're probably better off just using a vector mask and concealing/revealing that way.

  • Layer Mask and Vector Mask on the same layer

    Hello guys,
    maybe this is a stupid question, but i am having trouble understanding this one...
    If you make a selection on a layer and click the mask button, you create a mask...
    But if you hit the mask button one more time, Photoshop puts a vector mask on that layer,
    right beside the layer mask.
    To be honest I haven't been able to do much with that vector mask, i experimented with it, but i just
    can't figure out, how it interacts with the layer mask next to it (if it interacts that is).
    Can someone help me understand please?
    What's the usability of having a vector mask next to a layer mask on the same layer?
    An explanation with a paradigm would be nice!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    They both will mask the image. One will be pixel based, the other editable vector. Here is and example of round soft mask on Mona combined with a hard edged vector mask (on top of a still life by Frida!)
    How you can use this is up to you.

  • Using content aware with a new layer

    I am trying to use content aware with a new layer which i have made a smart object but when I select fill it is greyed out. why?.

    CAF doesn't have a Sample all layers option, and needs source pixels to work on.  The best you can do is select those parts of the background layer that you are happy to be sampled from, and copy them to a new layer and use CAF on that layer.  This prevents gaps in the landscape being filled with a foregrounsd subject's head!
    You can then add a layer mask to that layer to the new layer to use only those parts you need.

  • Mask with an objects (different behaviour)

    Did you see that MASK is not work correctly when we will apply it to the OBJECT type of event?
    We know how to work with masks. But when we try to add an mask to an type of "object" (circle, box etc) there is no mask, then we only got a second 'object'.
    Did you realize that? Hot to work as usually when I want to add a mask to an object?

    I think you are trying to draw a mask on a shape layer. If that is the case and you are using AE CS6 or later then look carefully at the tool bar. You will see a little pair of icons. One is a star the other is a little rectangle:
    Click on the little rectangle to the right of the star and the tool will then create a mask on a shape layer. In earlier versions the icon's are differentlittle different. They are only visible when the shape tools are selected.

  • How do I make a clipping mask whilst preserving sub layer structure?

    Hi guys,
    I am editing a map and need my map split into multiple rectangular segments. My map is made up of many layers and sub layers which I need to preserve. When I clipping mask the map with a rectangle all of the map's subs layers merge into one layer. How do I make a clipping mask whilst preserving sub layer structure? It seems like a 'layer mask' is the correct tool but doesn't seem like CS6 has it?
    Cheers
    Mat

    I avoid sublayers, because they really were never thoroughly developed, and when you open files, you get all your layers flipped open.
    So for me paste in front works great for pasting a mask directly above the element you want to mask. Unfortunatley paste in front does not work well with sublayers so you will need to drag the mask down into the the sublayer. But atleast if you have a complex document with many sublayers, the paste in fornt gets you close.
    eg; Mask is in clipboard, I select sublayer Illinois
    After doing a paste in front, the mask (star shape) is not in the sublayer, but above
    Drag the star shape down one in to the sublayer Illinois, select entire sublayer(use radio button right of the layer name)
    and make clip mask

  • How copy an alpha channel mask to an adjustment layer?

    I can copy an alpha channel mask to an image layer by Ctrl+Clicking the alpha channel then clicking the Add Layer Mask icon in Photoshop CC but this does not work for an adjustment layer. How can I copy the mask from an alpha channel to the layer mask for an adjustment layer? Thanks.

    I am using Photoshop CC as I stated in my question. All updates have been installed.
    I am running on Win 7 Pro 64 bit with all updates installed.
    I am editing a photograph.
    I have an alpha channel with a grey scale mask.
    If I Ctrl+Click the alpha channel then click the Add Layer Mask button to add a layer mask to an image layer the alpha channel mask is added to the image layer.
    If I delete the layer mask from an adjustment layer and follow the same steps a solid white mas is added to the adjustment layer.
    Several others in the camera club I belong to have tried this with the same result so the problem is not unique to my system.
    Hope this helps.
