Photoshop Generator: Unbound Layer Mask do not render correctly

I'm a huge fan of the Generator feature in Photoshop CC. However, there seems to be a problem with layer masks: If you unbound the layer mask from it's content layer, the generated images will not match the actual image. It seems, that the layer mask is positioned in different way.
Correct
Incorrect
Full Image
Layers
(no difference between bound & unboucn layer mask)
Is this the expected behaviour?
I'm using the latest Photoshop (14.2.1 x64 on OSX 10 Mavericks)

David,
I assume you mean in the edited PS TIFF file:
In different cases I have either:
A. A TIFF file with layer a layer mask
B. A TIFF file with multiple layer masks
C. A TIFF file with an alpha channel mask
D. A TIFF file with multiple alpha channel masks
E. A TIFF file with any combination of the above
the outcome is the same, they all do not display correctly in Aperture. It does not seem to matter if the file was opened in PS from Aperture via the open with external editor command or if it was worked on outside Aperture entirely then imported. I do have maximize compatibility in PS checked (though I understand this is only for PSD files, though perhaps I am wrong here)
any thoughts?

Photoshop TIFFs with layer masks do not display correctly

I am sure other people must have this problem, but I cannot find any related posts so here goes:
I open an image using the "open in external editor" command (typically a RAW file converted to a TIFF), edit in Photoshop and save the file (as a TIFF, I do not use PSD format)
If the PS edit contains any layer masks or alpha channels (masks in the channel pallet) it does not display correctly when it reappears in Aperture. Only the top most mask will display, assuming I have multiple layer masks in the PS edit.
Not only will the TIFF only appear as the mask in Aperture, but Aperture will print or email the mask, not the PS edited file as it should appear.
It seems that Aperture only recognizes the layer mask (or alpha channel mask) as the image, and all the other layers etc are disregarded.
Is this a confirmed bug, or is there some setting I have not correctly configured or some other issue?
I love Aperture, but this problem is nearly a deal-breaker for my workflow, and would be for any serious photoshop user, I would imagine!
I cannot believe this is still a problem in version 1.5, which is the version I am using (thus my system is 10.4.8)

Why doesn't Photoshop always generate a layer mask

I believe it was in CS4 that Adobe expanded the use of automatic layer masks ... perhaps it was with adjustment layers (I'm not quite sure)
I don't know about others, but it would save me considerable time in the long run if every new layer, (whether it is generated as a copy, from a plug-in, as a cut, or as a new blank layer) recevied an automatic layer mask. It takes no file space, but more often than not I find myself needing one. It sure would be nice to jump right into masking rather than having to first create the layer mask. Why did they stop at adjustment layers?
Am I alone in this?
thanks

Adding layers like Text, Raster and smart objects never have had automatic layers mask added. Adding adjustment layers always came with an automatic layer mask until CS4. Adode introduced bugs in CS4 when they added the adjustment panel these bugs have been carried forward into CS5 and CS6. Adobe added two options in the adjustment panels fly-out panel. These options are designed to be global, not just adjustment panel options. These options only work sometimes when changed from their default settings. When changed from their default settings they try to change Photoshop historic default operation. When you change Photoshop default operation Action, Scripts and Plug-ins that add adjustment layers may not work correctly. Adobe should fix Photoshop and remove the two bad Adjustment Panel fly-out options. The Adjustment Panel fly-out menu option to not add Layer masks can not be safely set, same goes for the option to always clip added layer mask, if you use Actions, Scripts and Plug-ins that add adjustment layers.

Photoshop Elements 9 Layer Mask Difficulties

Hi,
I am trying to use the Photoshop Elements 9 layer mask tool but every time I brush over my image to hide sections of it, the image merely becomes faded-out, as if I were using a brush with a low opacity. However, my brush opacity is at 100%, as is the opacity for the layer mask itself. I have made sure that I am using a black brush, that my brush mode is set on normal, that the layer mask mode is set on normal, that the image's color mode is RGB, and that the layer mask is selected when I am painting on it. I have reset all the tools to their default settings, and have gotten rid of all other layers except for the image in question and the background layer so that nothing is obstructing my view. Whenever I paint on the layer mask, the thumbnail shows the black areas in which I painted, as it should; however, the image is still apparent. Meanwhile, when I use the eraser tool, areas I erase disappear just fine. What am I doing that is causing the layer mask tool to behave in this way?
Thanks!

Could you post a screenshot?
If you press the D key then the X key, does that make any difference when you paint on the layer mask?

My text layer mask is not working when I test it

My text layer mask does not appear when I test the movie. The
mask works move the key along the timeline, but when I test the
movie nothing shows up. I'm doing exactly the same thing I do when
I mask images. I actually imported an image to the text layer and
the mask worked correctly. What am I doing wrong?

provide a link the fla - make sure your text layer is truly
linked to the Mask layer. What is the
font? Did you try breaking apart the font until it becomes
raw shapes? not that you want to do that
but save as with new name - try it and if it still doesnt
work, then the issue is not with your font.

Web pages posted to .Mac using iWeb do not render correctly on IE

Okay, let's face it - most people out there use Internet Explorer (IE) to view web pages. I just published my web page using iWeb onto my iMac account. The web site renders correctly on my Mac, but does not render correctly on my PC using IE at work. Several other people using IE saw similar problems. For example, IE does not show the links until you run your mouse over them. Also, the text renders as an image (you cannot select text individualy). What do I do to ensure that all the world views the site correctly? Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions, stoma.
You'll have to essentially dumb your site down to IE level. Get rid of the cool effects, the transparencies, the rotated images, basically everything that makes iWeb so impressive to use. Make a nice plain site with no frills and you're 90% of the way to near 100% IE compatibility.
Take all of your images and edit them outside of iWeb (like with other web applications) and that's another significant chunk. There will be a few bits left over, but some of those will be things you can't do anything about (like some of the page elements being created as .png's). You'll be as close to IE compatible as you can get with iWeb.
Post your URL to let other users post as to what your SPECIFIC site would need.

Layer Mask Transparency not White

When I go to make a selection in Photoshop CS6 and then click on layer mask from the background layer, the inverse selection is trasparent, rahter than white. How do I change this? Thank you!

Sorry for not describing it in better detail. Here is another example. When I go to crop image and expand my canvas beyond the borders and click ok, the background should be white, instead it is transparent.
When I try to convert a selection from my background image into a layer mask by selecting and then clicking on the mask icon, my background is transparent rather than white. I have cleared all my settings and am totally stumped on what I should do. Any help would be much appreciated!

Layer mask suddenly not working, how to fix this?

Please help!
I have been using the layer mask before and it has worked fine until now. Suddenly it only paints black and white colors, not revealing or hiding as it should. I have the mask layer selected properly. I have reset the brush tool and all the tools. I have the brush mode set to normal.
I tried also the eraser, it paints black too.
I'm using Photoshop CC.

If you hold the Alt|option key when you click on the Layer Mask icon in the layers palette to target the layer mask Photoshop will display the layer mask in the images window not the composite image. Layer Mask are gray scale channels. All you can see is the mask Black, White and Gray. Could you have Displayed the layer mask by accident. Are you sure you have the layer mask targeted to show the composite image or could you have targeted its to show the Layer Mask instead of the composite image.

Layer Mask Suddenly Not Working

Hello!
I have been using PS 6 for several months now, with no problems; I totally love it! I tend to do a lot of heavily composited photos, so I use layer masks a lot. All of a sudden this afternoon, they aren't working. I am 100% sure I am selecting the mask itself and not the layer (paint colors change to only black and white with the slider). My opacity and flow are both at 100. I am using just a standardsoft-edged paint brush. I paint on back, and nothing changes.
What's weird is if I invert the layer mask and paint white on, that will show up. But if I switch over to black again, it won't make anything disappear.
I'm so perplexed by this; I've never had an issue like this before!
Thank you for your help!

Hi Sarah,
Do you see the black appear on the layer mask in the Layer Panel?
Have you checked that your brush mode is set to Normal?

Layer mask brush not working

Brush won't work in Photoshop Elements 12 on layer mask. Have it set to normal, white and black brush and at 100%. It was working fine then nothing.

Best thing is to reset it and it will start working again. To reset it, click on the small down-arrow as shown in this picture:
Hope this helps.

Delete layer mask and not image?

I create a layer mask on a layer and then I duplicate the layer and I want to delete the layer mask on the duplicate layer, though keep the image part. I select the layer mask and hit delete, though it deletes everything on the layer. How can I keep the image portion of the layer?
Thanks.

There are several ways including dragging the layer mask to the trash icon
at the bottom of the layers panel (pick delete in the dialog that pops up)
or right clicking on the layer mask and choosing Delete Layer Mask.

Dashed Table borders do not render correctly when PDF created from MS word 2013

I have a defined format for many documents which have all been created in MS word 2007. Never any problem creating PDFs of these using ADOBE XI Pro.
Updated to MS 2013 and now when converting the same doc to PDF all dashed borders around tables render as solid lines. The only time they render correctly is if I PRINT to PDF. Printing to PDF is not an option as I create batches of many documents at one time, so would be to time consuming. This was an issue when i considered upgrading 2007 to 2010 a couple of years ago, so caused me to delay upgrade.. upgrade is now required.
I have a sample of a document if required.
thanks

Just as a test, have you tried the MS plugin for PDF creation? I have found with other versions of WORD and Acrobat that PDF Maker and the MS plugin can both fill in dots and dashes on vector graphics (basically what the border is) and yet it comes out correctly with printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Unfortunately I do not have a solution. In my case, it seemed to be related to the vector graphic itself (I could import it to InkScape or other vector graphic tool and save to EMF and it then worked fine. It may be something that MS themselves have messed up in OFFICE 2013. Good luck.

.pdf does not render correctly

Hello everyone:
When creating a .pdf from a .html dreamweaver file it does not render properly. Headings go to the left and sidebar images do not display properly. Any ideas as to how to fix this. Using Adode Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe Dreamweaver CS3. Many Thanks

Take a screenshot of the page then convert that to a PDF.
The PrtScr key on the keyboard only captures what you can see on screen (or the active window).
To get the entire page, either use something like SnagIt (commercial) or use one of the free add-ons for Firefox.
Edit: or as Paula suggests, create a print stylesheet.

Album view does not render correctly after synced changes

I was correcting the album rendering of some soundtrack albums today and noticed that albums do not group correctly across computers when the metadata is synced using Match. I am hoping someone can confirm they get the same results and possibly offer a fix.
Problem
Forcing a compilation album to render as a single album instead of multiple albums by setting the "Album Artist" and "Part of Compilation" fields does not sync across computers despite the fact that all of the relevant metadata syncs correctly.
Setup
Laptop and Desktop sitting next to each other. Both running Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8 logged into the same iTunes account for all services. (I am curious about running the experiment on all Macs or cross-platform, but all I have are PCs.)
Experiment
Step 1- Pick an album with various artists such as a soundtrack and confirm that it renders as one complete album in "Album" view in iTunes on both computers.
Step 2- Using the desktop, select all songs on the album and change the "Album Artist" field to be blank on all of them by selecting that field and removing the text in that field. Also set "Part of Compilation" on the "Options" tab to "No". Click OK and the album should be rendered as multiple albums for each track on the soundtrack. It is easiest to see this by staying in "Album" view and searching for the album name in the search tool in the upper right corner of iTunes.
Step 3- Go to the laptop and search for the album name in the "Album" view. It will still be rendered as 1 album instead of multiple albums for each track as it is on the desktop. Click on any song on the album and confirm that the "Album Artist" field is blank and "Part of Compilation" is clear (the metadata should sync within a few seconds). With these settings, the album should render as multiple tracks- not a single album. Closing and re-opening iTunes, updating Match or updating Genius does not re-render the album view as separate albums.
Step 4- Using the laptop, set the "Album Artist" field back to "Various Artists". The desktop will get that update, but not re-render the album as single album. The only way to "fix" the desktop is to reset the "Album Artist" field to "Various Artists" from the desktop.
My Conclusion
iTunes renders album views only when a change is made that would result in a change to the view and that rendering is only stored locally. iTunes does not correctly update album rendering when new meta-data that should cause a change in the view is received via Match. This is a problem because you cannot fix an album rendering on one computer and have that correction sync to your other computers. You have to "fix" the view on each computer individually.
Possible Workaround
Turn off iTunes Match and remove the iTunes database and all music on all computers but one. Using the one computer, make all required fixes and then recreate the iTunes database using Match on each of the other computers.
Any help or comments is much appreciated.

I have the same problem with PDFs created in Illustrator CS3. The bitmaps inside the PDF get rendered wrongly -- inverted or decolored.
One fix is to use ZIP instead of JPEG for the compression method when saving the file as an Adobe PDF.
I think it is a bug in Preview 5 (already filed it with Apple). With Preview 4.2 (Leopard) or using Acrobat 8.1.3, the PDF renders fine.
