Photoshop masking problem

I am currently using the cloud version for photoshop. Whenever i mask out anything, it doesn't completely mask all the way. It still leaves a transparent look as though my opacity was lowered. The problem is that all my opacity are at 100%. I found a temporary solution where after I mask the object in normal mode, i switch to multiple and mask out what remains. Now I can get away with this to a certain point, but I need a permanent solution to this problem. Any suggestions?

Upload you problem PSD with problem masked layer and post a link to the uploaded PSD file.

New hard drive and photoshop license problem

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 2 GB of RAM, and Win Xp/Pro SP3.
The hard drive in this computer failed, and it has been replaced. I used an image backup from Acronis True Image 10 to "restore" the new disk.
Now, when I try to open Phostoshop CS2, I receive a message that the license is no longer valid (I have been using this version of Photoshop for a long time).
I don't have this problem with InDesign CS3 (v. 5.0.2), FrameMaker 7.2b144, or Acrobat 8.1.6.
I didn't find any helpful info on the "Product Activation" web page.
I tried a forum search and a search of Adobe.com using the search criteria "new hard drive and photoshop license problem."
The only relevant item I could find is this:
"Backup and restoration of your system using standard tools do not require reactivation. While reactivation after backing up or restoring the system was required in early versions of Adobe software (such as Adobe Photoshop® CS), Adobe has continued to improve the activation process with new technology that eliminates the need to reactivate after system restoration. In complex situations where the system is being upgraded, we recommend deactivating the Adobe software before commencing the system upgrade. Once the system upgrade is completed, the subsequent install/restore will require reactivation, which is typically accomplished without difficulty and is completely transparent to the user."
So does that mean I have to "reactivate" Photoshop CS2? If so, do I use the Activation window that is displayed when I open Photoshop? The serial number has 20 characters. Will the Adobe (re)activation recognize this old serial number? If not, what do I have to do to get this product usable again?
Please help.

>replaced your hard drive and CS2 DRM is looking for the old hard drive number and not finding it
Interesting... I use http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm which creates a bootable CD and runs outside of Windoze
I have made image files and loaded those files to a new hard drive (I use drive swap hardware to make a backup and create a new drive every time I install or uninstall major software) and have never had any program complain about needing activation
But, since the program I use is Linux on a bootable CD, it copies EVERYTHING on a hard drive, even the hidden registration areas as far as I can tell, so when I do a restore to a new drive, everything is put on the new drive

Photoshop CS6 Problems

I have installed photoshop cs6 on my computer (Windows 7) but the programm is a bit useless since it can't create or open files.
I tryed reinstalling all my adobe programms 3 times but photoshop still won't work.
Do you have an idea how I can make the programm work?
thanks in advance

Thanks for you email, I finally went to an informatician today. We
finally found out that even if windows 7 sais the drivers are up to date
the driver that is managin to switsch between the two graphic cards
wasn't up to date. We downloaded it from the website and photoshop works
now perfectly well.
Thanks for your help!

Photoshop CS2 problems after updating to 10.4.5.?

Anybody notice Photoshop CS problems after updating to 10.4.5.?

Hello I had the same problem
I found the following information that helped me.....
Program errors occur when software conflicts arise due to an updated operating system. You can resolve these errors when you also update the driver software that causes the conflict or when you update the operating system. Program errors can also occur because of a damaged Photoshop preference file, or if there is a problem with a phone or internet connection. The Apple Disk Utility fixes file system errors that can also cause program errors.
Error "Could not complete your request..." or "Could not create a new document..." (Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X v10.4)
Issue
Adobe Photoshop CS2 returns one of the following error messages:
"Could not complete your request because of a program error" when you try to open a file.
"Could not create a new document because of a program error" when you try to create a new file.
Solution 1:
Install the most recent update to Mac OS.
Solution 2:
Re-create your preferences files.
1. Hold CommandOptionShift when you start Photoshop.
2. Click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Solution 3:
Disconnect your Internet connection.
To disconnect your Internet connection, do one of the following:
If you are connected to the Internet via a telephone modem, then disconnect from the modem.
If you are connected to the Internet via cable modem or DSL, then disconnect the ethernet cable from your computer.
Solution 4:
Use a disk repair utility.
Restart your Mac in Single User mode and run fsck -fy . For more information about the fsck command, please visit the Apple website at http:/docs.info.apple.comarticle.html?artnum=106214 .
Solution 5:
Ensure that all your drivers are compatible with Mac OS X v10.4.
Determine if your printer and video card (and any other peripherals you might have) are compatible with Mac OS X v10.4, and visit the manufacturers' websites to update the drivers.
Solution 6:
Re-create your printers in Mac OS X.
To re-create your printers, first delete them and then add them again.
To delete your printers:
1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
2. Select Print & Fax, and click Printing.
3. Select each printer in the list and click the delete key (the minus key).
For instructions on how to add your printers again, see "Setting up to print to a printer" in Mac Help or search Help using the phrase "add a printer."
The one that fixed it for me was solution 6 -- re-creating my printers
I don't know why but it could be worth a try
Good luck

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Problem

I have successfully installed Photoshop CS6 to my computer. However, when I open the front page to CS6 everything "freezes up", and I cannot open any of the tabs - not even the file or close tabs.
Have uninstalled and re-installed the CS6 several times with no effect. Am installing from a boxed disc that I purchased from Adobe.
Ted Wolfe

Got it solved by going by adding the latest updates to CS6.

Mask problem in Premiere Pro CC 2014

Hello!
I have a strange problem with the mask tool in Premiere Pro CC 2014, and made this video to explain the problem.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks a lot

Mask problem in Premiere Pro CC 2014 - YouTube

But the whole point is that I am not able to place the mask properly because of the strange way it behaving. The purpose of a mask is that it should affect the area it is located above and not somewhere else, and it should also fill the entire mask and not only a spot at the center of the mask area.
It has nothing to do with the order of things, or if I turn up feathering or extract the edge. It's all about the wired way it applys it self.
If I apply and drag the mask to the corner, it should affect the corner and not somewhere near the center of my footage. As it is right now I have to zoom out to 25% and drag the mask way out of frame to affect the corner of my footage.

Photoshop Elements problems

I bought Photoshop Elements 10 in March and I have not been able to use it. Photoshop Premiere Trial version will not load and the Inspiration Browser will not load. Also any valuable help you get with this product, you have to pay for it (as if purchasing the product was not enough). I am very disappointed in this product and I actually want my money back.

I am not able to do anything in Photoshop Elements.

Masking problems

Hi.
I have stumbled over a masking-problem, that I hope you can
help me solve. I have made a mask with a movie clip containing
several graphic objects on separate layers. Please see reference
image 1.
I tried to create a "splattering" effect, which I felt I
did... until I played the result.
It seemes that overlapping content in the mask will null out
the overlapping areas in the mask, and reveal content behind the
masked layer. Please see reference image 2.
What I wanted was to reveal the masked layer only, not the
content behind, so that it would look similar to reference image 1.
Please explain what I'm doing wrong and how I can fix this.
Thanks alot in advance! :D

too
Are you talking about the root-timeline? On the root I have
two layers. One with an image, and the other one which is a mask
layer to the first. The mask layer contains a movie clip. This
movie clip is my "splattering"-mask. The idea is that the image on
the first layer of the root-timeline will be gradually revealed by
the effect created in the movie clip lying on the mask layer.
The movie clip contains several layers. Each with a separate
single "splat" motion tweened to create a realistic look.... well,
at least good enough for me. :) - The problem mentioned appears
when two layers in the movie clip are overlapping. This causes the
mask to null out the overlapping areas when run.
Is this the same method you're describing? If so, what do you
suggest the problem is?
And what suggestion do you have for solving this in the code?
I assume you're talking about ActionScript? I'm open for anything
as long as the problem gets solved. :D
Thanks alot for your help so far.

Photoshop CS5 mask problem

When I use Photoshop CS5 as an external editor in Aperture 3.2.3 and apply a mask to an adjustment layer, the image often just brings the "masked" portion of the PS file back into Aperture, even after I flatten the layers in PS and save the file. As a basic example, if the image I send to PS5 from Aperture is a bird against the blue sky and I put a mask around the bird to work on the sky, then flatten the layers and quit PS, the image which comes back into Aperture will just be the masked bird - as if it had been cut out and pasted onto a black background. Any ideas how to fix this? It doesn't happen all the time, but it's frustrating when it does. I send tiffs to PS5 from Aperture in case that's relevant. Also, I'm working on an old iMac 2.8GHz with 4GB Ram. My image files are stored on an external HDD. Thanks.

Hi Barney
This is exactly what I deal with all the time. I usually work in tif and will try Leonie"s pdf sugesstion. So when I collasp the layered file and we have saved the mask as an alpha channel (auto) we have to go to the channels pallet and delete that mask. I dont have too much trouble with masks in layers if I place them in a group. But I still go to the Channels and delete masks before saving.

Photoshop CS5 problem - Is this Banding?

Hi
I am using Adobe lightroom 3.0.64 to process RAW photos from my Canon Camera. Then I touch up the pictures in Photoshop CS5. I have been working on some snooted background shots recently and I am experiencing a problem when I edit the photos in photoshop. It appears to be some of kind artifacting or distortion particularly noticeable if using graduated lighting. Looking on the web I have come across references to "banding". I am not sure if this is the problem I am experiencing, but I would appreciate it if someone could take a look.
Either way any help on how to get rid of this issue "post" picture taken would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried duplicating a layer/Blurring it and then using masks to bring out the main focus of the picture. This doesnt seem to work very well and just makes the banding look more noticeable.
I have uploaded a hi-res version of the file:
http://www.lakelanddigitalmedia.com/stock/bandingproblem.jpg
and circled the problem areas.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I can see the same posterization effect when I click on that one too. Does that mean the problem is to do with the screen display profile after all, and I should change the profile to Srgb as suggested.
There's no easy answer, but in general unless your monitor is actually displaying the sRGB color space accurately I'd say it's not generally a good idea to throw out a display profile that brings your particular monitor into proper calibration.
If you want your document products - i.e., that which you publish or print - to hide the posterization, then I suggest making sure Dithering is enabled in your color preferences. That way when the conversion of the document profile to sRGB occurs, the gradients will look smooth.
Today's monitors are good enough that you can easily see 256 different shades of gray. The posterization you're seeing may well be because of that - OR - you may be experiencing the problem I reported in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3473424
Try going into Edit - Preferences - Performance, [Advanced] and changing your OpenGL mode in Photoshop to Basic, then restarting Photoshop. Does that help make your rose image look better on your monitor?

Mavericks, Photoshop CS6 problem

Here is a question.
I have
iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
          iMac - model: iMac11,1
          1 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU: 4 cores
          16 GB RAM
and
          Apple Cinema Display
When I have TWO files open in TWO SEPARATE display and use the option key in Photoshop CS6 (any Photoshop) to MASK the layer, WHY IT JUMP FROM ONE FILE TO ANOTHER (from one screen to another)??
Guess what, I use this option for the last 15 years...
Can you help me with that?

genemoz wrote:
You don't need CS6 for that,
Anyway, when you copy the layer (Command J), then do any adjustments...then you point your cursor at the bottom of the layers where you have little icons: 'Add the layer style', 'Add the layer mask', 'Create new fill or adjustment layer', etc.
So you point the cursor at the 'Add the layer mask' icon, hold 'option' key and click on that icon, and here we go, you have the mask (in any Photoshop)
Now, again...when you have two monitors and two files, you are working on one of them and keep the other as a reference. So when you click your mask, it goes to the reference image...How wierd is that??
I'm so tired of Mavericks problems, everything is a problem, starting with Photoshop, Firefox - any internet browser is slow...
Please tell me, do I have to go 15 years back to Windows again??
My productive time now is 50 % slower because I have to fix Mavericks problems...
This is third week that I have no positive results!
Thx
when I do this, I get a black mask (instead of the default white one)... The project I'm working on doesn't switch.
I don't work the way you do, and always have PS in the application frame, which I can then tile all active projects in it (in references to you having a reference image and a working image).
It's not a Mavericks issue, it's a user issue. have you tried to update CS6?

CS 4 Quick mask problem

Hi
My first posting here
Cant figure out whats wrong. Maybe somebody here can guide me to a solution.
When selected quick mask.
Masking out an area and using brush to select area.
When exiting the mask i dont get the marked area visible by the "walking ants" showing my what area i masked.
Regardless of brush diameter.
Before i had the same problem when opacity was set lower than for example 50. Setting the value higher solved the problem.
Now opacity is 100 but i can see through the marked out area
I have choosen red as color for masking area.
Also the brush is "cut" in half when exceeding ca 300 in brush diameter.
Any tips?
AVFR

Thanks for quick replies.
Photoshop is updatet to latest version,
Drivers are not possible to update yet. No newer that the one i am using.
There exist one that nvidia says will fit to my laptop but get a fault message when installing.
Will examine this further,
Regarding if color i 100 % black.
Where can i check this?
When using cs 3 i couldnt see through the quick mask when opacity was 100.
Now it seems like 50 %
Regardless of which color i choose to use when brushing the areas i want selected
Is there another menu option where i can check enter opacity?

Picture in Picture (Mask) Problem

Hey guys,
I'm using a technique to mask out a watermark in a video I've been editing in iMovie. I created a black box over a transparent background in photoshop and exported it as a bunch of different image file formats. I drag it into iMovie 09 as a Picture in Picture, place it on top of my movie, delete the stupid Ken Burns effect, and it works like magic. The watermark disappears! However, my video darkens. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Is it a problem with how I'm exporting from photoshop? Any help would be much appreciated!

Huh?
> Is this a poblem with DW8?
Most likely not. Please list the exact steps you are taking,
and what it is
you want to do. The simple act of inserting content into any
container,
whether a 'layer' or a table, would not be expected to cause
that container
to change locations on the page.
And what is the 'overflow box'? Do you mean the visibility
column on the
Layers panel?
As a wild guess, I would imagine what is happening is that
you are not
inserting the image into the layer, you are REPLACING the
layer with the
image. Did you look at the code <shudder> to see if the
layer's markup was
still there?
