Moving a layer's alpha channel into layer mask

(CS3)
I have a raster layer that has some semi-transparent pixels. I'd like to make the layer itself fully opaque, and move the contents of its alpha channel into a layer mask. How would I go about doing this? (If possible, merging the alpha channel with what I have already placed into the layer mask.)
Thanks!

Copy the alpha channel into your clipboard, then paste it into the mask. To paste into a layer's mask, alt click the mask to make the mask the focus then ctrl v to paste. To remove focus, alt click on the mask again or click on another layer. As to how to mix the two, you could probably do it using calculations.

Import QuickTime with Alpha channel into Flash CS3

Is it possible to import a QuickTime movie with alpha channel into an FLA and have the FLA recognize the Alpha channel? When I've done this, it just shows opaque black instead of an alpha channel. I need that black to be transparent so I can see the layers below the video layer.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know the answer to your question.
Do you have a video player where you can verify that the alpha channel in the video is displaying as you expect?.... that is, the background is transparent?
I have used flv files with alpha and a NetStream vid player to overlay Flash video on a Web page.... but not directly in the timeline.:
http://www.mrfilmbiz.com/
the walkon... could have had other action (like Flash artwork) going on in the background... but that may not really be what you are looking for.
But lacking any other solutions, you could have your alpha channel vid file playing in one Flash file over the top of a second Flash file doing the artwork stuff.

How to display alpha channel of layer mask in layers palette ??

Help me out here folks....
Using CS5--in the past, when I added a layer mask to a layer, it would display in the palette as the alpha channel, which was very handy. Now, when I add a layer mask, it only appears as the mask icon; i.e., gray square with white circle in the middle. I have no clue what I did to change from the one to the other, but I would certainly like to get the alpha representation back!
TIA,
Toby

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Could you be mixing up Layer Masks and Vector Masks?

Reversed B&W adjustment layer; export color channel to layer; CS5.1; Ps extended (Win 7 64-bit)

I've had a serial number for 1 whole day, so I hope this isn't a completely ignorant question.
What I want to do is to have an adjustment layer that is a reversed, black and white image. I initially thought to merge B&W and reverse adjustment layers, but read that an adjustment layer may not be the target of a merge. Is the way to accomplish this to fiddle with the B&W adjustment layer sliders somehow?
Also, I think this is a related question, if I like how the black and white displayed image of a given color channel looks, how can I export that channel into a layer?
Thanks!

You can't merge adjustment layers, but you can clip one to the underlying layer (including another adjustment layer), so that it doesn't affect the layers below.
Click between the two layers in the Layers panel while holding the alt key (the cursor will change). The keyboard shortcut is alt+ctrl+G (although I don't remember if this is the default shortcut or if I made it up...I lose track).
As for turning a channel into a layer it's straightforward. Target the channel and copy, then target the RGB composite and paste (otherwise you'll just paste into the same channel).
Edit: for having had a serial number for a whole day, I must say you have an excellent grasp of the concepts. Those questions aren't ignorant at all; quite the opposite

I need to mask video, and maintain the alpha channel for the masked video!

I wanted to know how to mask video in Final Cut Pro 6, I am sure there are options to do so, can someone please help me with getting started. I want to be able to mask video and maintain an alpha channel.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Did you get anything to show up on the tv? If you got a aura wallpaper then it's working.
If you did then it's in extended desktop mode or a logical extension of the desktop to the right. Drage the player off the right side of the screen to the right and it will appear on the TV.
All the options are in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

Extract layer with alpha channel or with whole layer size?

First of all.Sorry about my English.But I'll try my best to describe what I mean.
The text with transform:
The extract window of text:
Is any possible make the extract given whold layer size result ?
What I except:

But that's a lot of layer i need to extract
Almost like ... 21 layers and i need another scaled level "x/2" "x/4"
21 * 4 = 84 I must do 84 save as. thats not good.

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.

Tiff files with Alpha Channels do not display or print correctly...

I have Tiff files that have been edited in Photoshop that do not display correctly. As far as I can tell this is caused by the existence of Alpha channels in the channels panel in PS. When the files are imported to Aperture, they only display information from either the alpha channel or a layer using that alpha channel as a mask.
If this is true, what are people doing about it. This cant be acceptable???
Are there any work arounds and is apple addressing this problem?
Can anyone else confirm this?
I am using Aperture 1.1.2, OS 10.4.7 and PS CS. on a Dual 2GHz Power PC G5 with 4.5 GB RAM
Please note, these are NOT .psd files. I have read and am aware of some psd compatibility issues, and have checked the maximize compatibility in PS.

Thank you for your response, I am trying to figure out what to do differently when we re-create the PDF so we don't have font issues when we combine. I don't want to keep recreating the problem, I am looking for a solution. Why does this happen? What settings do I tell other to apply on their Acrobat? Is the a font issue in Adobe? I found this on a Google search on the internet and can't seem to get it to work on XI PRO.
Embedding fonts into Acrobat 9 through Distiller:
Launch Acrobat.
Choose Advanced > Print Production > Acrobat Distiller.
Select Standard in Default settings.
Go to Settings and select Edit Adobe PDF Settings.
Select Fonts and in the font source window select the fonts you want to Add.
Click Save As and then OK.

Procedure for Integrating Alpha Channel when saving as .dds file

Hello,
I'll try to keep this brief but that may be tough...
One project I use Photoshop CS4 for is painting aircraft used with Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX). Here is some background for folks who aren't familiar with this.
Each aircraft is downloaded as a "Paint Kit". The kits look much like the "trees" that plastic aircraft model kit pieces come attached to (see picture below).
I paint and add layers onto the kit until the aircraft resembles the design I chose. The paint kit includes a background, base parts usually in white, and an assortment of layers adding physical wear, shading, lines and rivets you see on actual aircraft.
Additionally, the kit includes an RGB Alpha Channel and Specular Maps. In this application, the Alpha channel provides the reflectivity or gloss on the aircraft paint. The Specular maps provide a sheen much like the subtle reflections you see from a metal flake paint job when the sun hits it directly.
Once all painting and manipulation is complete, the kit is "cut" into specific sizes. Once the kit is cut, each section is saved as a DDS file using NVidia tools. The resulting DDS files are placed into folders within the main FSX program folder. The FSX program "assembles" the sections and processes the different layers and channels resulting in aircraft that are incredibly detailed and realistic.
My problem is I don't know how to properly integrate and preserve the Alpha channel during the "Flatten Image" and when saving the file as a dds file. As you can see in the "Layers" section in the picture, the Alpha channel is already made. I just don't know what to do with it to preserve it and ensure the reflectivity it provides is visible in the final product.
Any help is appreciated - what I need to know isn't what the alpha does, but how to properly integrate it into the final product. I've searched for this info for the last several days, but I've had no luck in finding specific information on how to do that. I believe it's one of those procedures that is so simple, everyone knows how to do it. I guess I'm the only idiot on the planet that doesn't know how... .
The paint kit can be downloaded at http://library.flight1.net/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=1467 if you need it to answer my question or if you're just curious about it.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

I know nothing about Nvidia DDS file format or 3D. From you screen capture you have no Alpha Channel. You do have a normal layer named Alpha Channel with its visibility turn off. Why are you flatting ? When I use Save As and use the file type pull-down and select DDS format to save I get the Nvidia DDS save Dialog that I do not know how to use or understand the buttons options or pull-down menu items. The file instruction and its background make no does not seem to match up with the parts.
I think you have to read the documentation for the Nvidia DDS plug-in. and the normal map plug-in https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop

Turning greyscale alphas into group masks

Hi
I'm new to ps scripting and could do with a little help. I want to take a folder of greyscale alpha files and turn them into a single psd where each alpha layer is converted into a group mask with the filename as the group name. The script below is one I found at ps scripts and modified slightly. It works ok but turns the alpha layers into layer masks as opposed to group masks. If anyone can help me achieve this or point me in the direction of other codes that create groups and apply masks that I can study I would be really grateful.

var baseLayer = baseDoc.activeLayer;

Do you mean clipping group or layerSet? If you mean layerSet then if I understand what you want replace
var newLayer = baseDoc.artLayers.add();// adds a layer
with
var newLayer = baseDoc.layerSets.add();// add a layer set(group)

Photoshop CS6 using javaScript to truncate alpha channel name

Hello,
I'm a production artist and I work with PSD files that were created in Adobe Scene7 Image Authoring Tool. These PSDs contain a background layer along with 1-20 alpha channels. My script has to make a new blank layer for every alpha channel in the document. Then it fills the new layer with light gray. So far, my code accomplishes this. However, I'd like to apply the name of the alpha channel to the layer, but I need the name to be truncated. Every alpha channel starts with one or more characters followed by a backslash and then finishes with one or more characters. Here's an example:
An alpha channel might be named: Floor\floor
In this example I need my layer name to be just: floor. This means all character to the left of the backslash, including the backslash itself needs to be discarded. I was using the subSring() statement to do this. When I try to step through the code, line by line in ExtendScript, I immediately get an error that says Unterminated String Constant and Line 31 of my code is highlighted. I suspect it doesn't like the way I wrote the backslash character, although I surrounded it in double quotes to define it as a string.
Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error?
Below is my code with lots of comments to walk you through the process. I wrote where the error occurs in red type.
I'm new to JavaScript so I'm not sure my while loop is accurate.
#target photoshop
// The #target photoshop makes the script run in PS.
// declare variable to contain the active document
var myDoc=app.activeDocument;
// declare variable to contain the number of alpha channels, excluding the RGB channels
var alphaChan = myDoc.channels.length - 3;
alert(alphaChan + " alpha channels exist");
// create loop to make new layers based on number of alpha channels, fill layer with gray and apply alpha channel name to new layer
for (a=0 ; a<alphaChan ; a+=1){
// make new blank layer
myDoc.artLayers.add();
// fill blank layer with gray
var color = new SolidColor();
color.rgb.red = 161;
color.rgb.green = 161;
color.rgb.blue= 161;
myDoc.selection.fill(color);
//variable stores alpha channel name
var alphaName = myDoc.channels[3+a];
// variable stores lenght of alpha channel name
var lz = alphaName.length;
// declare index variable to initialize position of 1st character of alpha channel name
var x= 0 ;
// truncate alpha channel name by removing all characters preceding the "\" symbol
while (alphaName.subString(x) != "\"){          (ExtendScript gives an error for this line and highlights the backslash and surrounding quotation marks)
    alphaName = alphaName.subString((x+1),z);
    x+=1;
    z-=1;
return alphaName;
// remove the backslash from alpha channel name
alphaName = alphaName.subString((x+1),z);
// apply truncated alpha channel name to corresponding layer
myDoc.artLayers[a].name = alphaName;

while (alphaName.subString(x) != "\"){
should be
while (alphaName.subString(x) != "\\"){

Sudden problem with importing tiff files with alpha channel (CS5)

OK this is driving me nuts. For years I have been importing image files that have an alpha channel into FCP as.tiff files. I use Photoshop files only when I want to use the layers as they are too cumbersome otherwise). I have recent upgraded Photoshop, etc. to CS5 and now FCP won't import them anymore. I get a message saying: "File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown"
I am not doing anything different and tiff files created in just the same way in an earlier version of Photoshop import and work just fine. Is this a CS5 bug? Does anyone know of a work around. I want to keep using tiff files as they seem to work best for me with alpha channel work (and I don't see why I need to reinvent the wheel).
Thanks
A

I've had a similar issue recently. Same TIFF files downloaded from the same server, different FCP project, new error. I either see"File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown" or I get the even stranger, "Unrecognized file type."
I can open them in PS and save them again as TIF, same results. I know these are not CMYK files but even if resave the TIF as RGB, I get the same results, they are not recognized by FCP.
But if I open them in PS and save them as PNG with alpha, they improt fine.
I have no idea what's going on.

BufferedImage from PNG : Alpha Channel disregaurded

I'm trying to load a PNG with an alpha channel into a BufferedImage, and
then sample the BufferedImage at various pixels for some operations.
However, the alpha channel seems to get lost upon creation of the BufferedImage.
For example, I'm using a PNG that is 100% transparent, and when I
load it into a BufferedImage and display it on a panel all I see is the panel's background color.
So far so good. Now, the problem. When I try to sample a pixel, the alpha is always 255 or 100% opaque
which is clearly not right. Also, when I print out the BufferedImage's type, I get 0 which means the image
type is "Custom". Care to shed any light as to how I can accurately sample an image with an alpha channel?

        getContentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(img)));
        setVisible(true);
        //Sample top left pixel of image and pass it to a new color
        Color color = new Color(img.getRGB(0,0));
        //print the alpha of the color
        System.out.println(color.getAlpha());

      g.drawImage(bi,0, 0, this);
}Please notice how the BufferedImage is declared and set to NULL, then allow ImageIO to set the type--Just as I said before. If you have any question about the PNG producing an ARGB image with ImageIO, then change the color painted onto the backgroun din the paintComponent to what ever you want and you'll see it show through.
BTW: even in the short nobrainers--you still need to have VALID CATCH BLOCKS.
To get what you are looking for, you can mask off the Alpha component by dividing each getRGB by 16777216 (256^3) or do a binary shift right 24 places.

Layer Mask/Alpha Channel. Visual bug when moving or transforming

Open test file.
Add solid color Adjustment Layer.
Paint a big "X" on its Layer Mask.
Option(alt)+click on the mask icon to see its Alpha Channel.
Now select Move tool and move mask around.
Alpha channel does not display properly when moved or transformed.

Right Jeanne, should have realized.
A good workaround for this, if you want to see the mask as you move or transform, is to just hit the backslash key to see the rubylith of the alpha channel. That displays correctly.

How to assign a layer as a output (Encode) alpha channel

Hi
In Adobe Premier or After Effects is there a way to assign a layer to be seen as a alpha channel on outputting (encoding) the completed project?
for examples.... I have about 6 video files all built up on top of each other (video 1, Video 2... and so on). The final layer (Video 7) I then import a PNG file with alpha to show the videos below where I want exactly. The black area (non transparent) area of my layer 7 I want to be seen as my alpha channel in my 3rd party video software after I have outputted (encoded) my video file.
Hope that makes thanks
Thanks
Craig
