Making a Mask over a photo IN PSE11

I have just started using Elem. 11
I want to mask a photo.    In PSE7, I thought, I used to just have both layers, black mask on top, and push ctrl G.
Bam, I had it masked.   Now, I am dumb again and it won't work.
I seem to be allergic to manuals, they don't make sense to me.   I appreciate your time and help if you are able to.
Thank you.

By far the easiest method for what I was trying to do if anyone ever runs across this!!!
Clipping Masks
Open image you want to use - shape in my case (premade photo mask)
drag the photo on top of it - picture of my kid, adjust size so it all fits
With the photo layer still active, select Layer>Create Clipping Mask.

I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo

I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo several times, when I go to create the preset the adjustment brush is not an option to check. How do I add the adjustment brush to the develop presets. Thanks Ron.

The adjustment brush cannot be added to a develop preset.
If you can replace the adjustment brush with a gradient filter or radial filter, you can add those to a dev preset.
If a gradient filter or radial filter is not an option for you, you can at least create an adjustment preset to remember your brush settings.

Clipping Mask over Multiple Layers

Hi,
I have a multiple layer file and I want to apply a clipping mask over the entire design as my last step to block out all of the excess around the edges of the clipboard. Every time I try this the layers are merged into one but I want to maintain the layers.
Is it possible to have a mask and keep the layers?

Make a new layer and drag all the existing layers into in, making them sublayers. Draw your mask in this master layer, select it, and go to Make Clipping Mask in the Layers panelette.

Why does itunes say i have over 700 photos on my phone but i really only have about 200?

I have a 4S running 8.1.1 and on itunes when i connect my phone it says i have 700+ pictures when in reality by camera roll has less than 200. I am connected to ICloud but I turned off all settings in the "Photos" section of the Icloud settings. I did sync all my photos that are on my phone on to IPhoto on my computer. Does ITunes count the pictures on IPhoto on my computer and my Camera roll to make over 700+ photos? That is the best guess i have and i think is unlikely. Help!

HT201317 I have over 300 photos and 87 videos on my iphone 5. each time I plug in for battery I get a message saying not enough space, need to buy more, so I did yesterday. While attempting to do icloud storage again it said would take 83 hours.

I have over 300 photos and 87 videos. When I recharge the battery I am geting the message to buy more storage to because not enough icloud space. So I did yesterday. That went ok, but the new message tells me it will take 83 hours. Perplexed I went thru the settings and turned off apps and their data that I didn't realize where on. Now I'm not sure if I needed to purchase more storage but it is still taking forever to complete the task. Am I on the right track with this, meaning will take forever to store all my photos or what ? The only other item I have on to store is contacts. Can you assist me ? Thanks - emoslim

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

Adding Text over a Photo in a Movie

First, is this possible? Can I actually add credits over a photo added from IPhoto to a movie in IMovie 5?
I am having a problem adding a title (credits) over a photo I have added to the end of a movie. I unclick "over black" and type in the text to scroll over the photo, and when I try to drag the "T" onto the photo, a black clip appears, and the text goes over that. I look up, and the "over black" box is checked again. I did lengthen the time of the photo, but that hasn't made a difference.
The text has appeared over the wrong clip at times, too.
I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere. Help!

Another thing to consider if your photo is a still frame, not using KB effect:
If you are ok with the title appearing just a few seconds after the start of the photo, use the "Split video at playhead" to split the photo just where you want the title to begin, and place it there. Just be sure that the length of the photo clip and the title are the same. You can lengthen the photo clip after the split if you need to.
This is great to do if you have used a transition before the photo, because you don't have to delete the transition. I have split a photo that had transitions on either side, lengthened the middle photo clip and added a title to that. Worked great!

Choose Start > Computer.
Double-click the logo for the device to browse its camera folders.
Navigate to [iOS device]\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE.
Manually copy the content in this folder to your computer, wherever you would like to store it.
Disconnect your device. Open the Camera Roll and manually delete all the pictures from the iPhone Camera Roll that you just imported.

I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer. Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported. If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

Iphoto: How to safely delete or move photos. I have over 7000 photos. When I deleted some, I found that the event still shows up with a blank frame. Can I move some photos to an external hard drive but leave the pointer in iphoto?

iphoto: How to safely delete or move photos. I have over 7000 photos. I would really like to move tsome of the older photos to an external hard drive. (They are backed up in Time Machine, but I like the immediacy of having them available.) So question 1 - is it possible to split the iphoto library so that the directory tree points to an external drive in some cases? And if that doesn't work--I am willing to export and delete some of these photos. However, an earlier delete left me with events that have a name in the event folder, but no photos. Question 2 -- How do I properly delete photos so that all references disappear?
example:

Warning: Time Machine is not an Archiving application. It keeps rolling back ups. That means if you delete something from the source Mac it will eventually be also deleted from Time Machine. How long that takes depends on the amount of disk space TM has. So, remember, backing up in Time Machine is not the same as Archiving.
For the blank thumbnails: This can happen if you try delete too many photos at one go. Experienced users suggest you should delete in batches of 100 or so.
Yes you can split the Library, where some of the Masters are stored locally and some on an external disk, but really, you don't want to do that. iPhoto's file management tools are limited at best, and if the path to the files changes then you could find yourself repairing the links to the files - all of them, one by one.
Better: Have your entire Library on an External Drive.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you want to have a smaller library on your internal disk:
Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

My trash in iPhoto has no thumbnails in it, however, it says it has over 31k photos. I had over 67K, but "put back" what thumbnails I could see in order to move them over in smaller groups to delete. How can I delete what isn't there?

My trash in iPhoto has no thumbnails in it, however, it says I have over 31K photos in it. I have already "put back" over 35K photos to Events. How can I delete from iPhoto photos that are not in a thumbnail? Also, I have been deleting these for over a year assuming that they were being deleted when I put them in the trash. I didn't realize that there was an iPhoto trash along with my computer trash. I can't put the other Events into the trash until I erase what's in there. Thank you for any help you can give me.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Video sound over a photo.

Is there a way in iMovie HD to insert a photo between two clips and have the video sound play over the photo without the video.
I want to replace a small section of video footage with a picture, but continue to hear the audio of the video, sort of paste the photo over the video.
Thanks in advance.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Haloric,
In addition to Ivar's method you could try this.
If the photo already exists in your clip viewer or time line, select it then choose File>Copy. Now position your playhead where you want the photo to appear and choose Advanced>Paste Over at Playhead.
iMovie will automatically extract the video audio to preserve it.
If you don't already have the photo in your clip viewer or time line, you'll need to first bring it in to your project. Then just move it to the clip pane or just select and copy it right in the timeline.
This technique works with video clips too. Useful for a quick cut away to something else.

How do I put a title over a photo?

I've seen a lot of posts about putting a title over a video clip, but what I want to do is put a title over a photo. I am able to insert titles just fine and same thing with just photos, but I can't seem to combine them. When I try to drag one on top of the other, it moves to the left or right and creates two seperate things. I have made sure that the length and duration of each is the same and also that I leave the "Over Black" box unchecked. Any suggestions?

What do you mean by it 'creates two separate things'? In iMovie 5, I don't think there was an 'add' button. You have to drag the title 'T' box down to the photo in the timeline. IF you are having problems wiht this, try deleting the iMovie plist and the reopen iMovie and try again. (The plist is in YourUserName->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iMovieplist. Trash that and relaunch iMovie.
Post back if that does not help.
