Problems with clipping mask, Photoshop CS6

I have been working with a clipping mask around a complex item. This included a large clipping mask around the edge of the item, along with sections inside this path that were also 'cut out'. I am not sure how, but I seem to have done something which is now stopping me from making the additional 'internal' paths. Instead of these areas being blocked by the clipping mask, they are appearing as paths drawn over the image and not as part of the clipping layer (yes, checked that I was working in the right layer).  I have checked the 'outside' path and this is all connected - no gaps.  I have tried to set up a new file and start again, but now can't seem to make the mask behave properly. Can anyone help?
thanks

THanks for that, but to be honest I am a real novice - learning in pieces - so am not sure how to check path modes etc. ..Any suggestions??
Here's a screen grab of the work and current settings:

  • Problems with Tiling in PhotoShop CS6

    Hello!
    I am having difficulty with tiling in PhotoShop CS6.  I am trying to do a half drop repeat and a block (brick) repeat using a single image that I've manipulated with filters, etc.
    When I make the pattern and then apply it to a new document, I get some strange striped coloring.  The image has been flattened.  See screenshot below:
    Can anyone tell me why I am getting this strange coloration (I kind of like it, but not what I really want)?
    I sincerely appreciate any help anyone can provide!  Thank you! 

    Did you use the Paint Bucket Tool set to Pattern to fill the layer?
    If so, go to Edit>Fill and uncheck the Scripted Patterns, press Cancel and then try again.

  • Having a Problem with Clipping Masks

    Everytime I add an adjustment layer to CS5 layers palette, the adjustment layer comes in as a clipping mask and is clipped to the layer below.  I must have accidently invoked something that is causing this.  It is very frustrating and time consuming have to change each layer in my stack.       WHAT DID I DO WRONG... and HOW DO I FIX IT.

    Noel as I have noted in the past it is easy to code around the bug by recording all add adjustment layers clipped to previous layer then un-clip the ones you want to be applied to all, The problem is this will not fix all the good action that been recorded in the past and download by members in a large community of Photoshop user. I don't have a clue to how many have download actions I made available. I stopped using Adobe exchange while the exchange recorded the number of downloads exchange makes it almost impossible to make updates for they need to approved them first and they never seem to.  I know thousands have downloaded my actions but don't know if any use them or who use them.  The only contact I have is if someone reports a bug. Yes some get by me to.   Most of the downloaders of these actions don't know that Adobe has introduce a bug that may effect actions they downloaded and have been using for many releases of Photoshop without problems. The nasty part is action will work correctly sometime and not other time and when some of the failure happen there is no error message an adjustment layer of the right type is added and may effect most of the document correctly so the error my go un-notice at the time it happens and then may notice at some later date.  The bug need to be fixed. Then actions with the work around and those without the work around will work correctly.

  • Problem with scanning in Photoshop CS6 after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to latest version of Mountain Lion i've got a problem with scanning directly into Photoshop CS6.
    on the previous Lion version when I wanted to scan something, i just opened Photoshop -> File -> Import -> images from device
    then a new window opened up the ImageCapture app where I could choose the device I wanted to use, and then I selected the scanner (Canon CanoScan 8400F) and I could scan directly into photoshop.
    Now with Mountain Lion when I do the exact same thing, it opens a window, but it's impossible to select any device, as the new window is just a plain white window, with 2 buttons on top to rotate something that isn't there. (text is in dutch, cause I'm from the Netherlands)
    hope someone can help me out.
    I can scan with the use of the ImageCapture app without problems and then save that picture and open it in Photoshop, but it has worked before, so am I doing something wrong? or is this just a little bug
    thnx in advance for the help

    I’m having the same problem with my Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner and Adobe Photoshop CS6. It does the initial overview scan then I get the same blank window as BigNoud shows above. I've done a Software Update and have also updated OSX to 10.8.1.
    I know for the Epson you can get a Mountain Lion compatible scan software from SilverFast for about $35.00 as an upgrade here.
    I haven't gone that route yet as I don't want to give up any more money for my Apple/Adobe experience.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Problem with zoom in Photoshop CS6

    Hello
    I've got problem with new(?) feature in Photoshop CS6.
    When I'm working on my project and have for example 150% zoom and I want to move workspace with SPACE+LMB.
    In my previous version (CS3) I can do this without problem but know Photoshop shows me my file with FIT TO SCREEN zoom and some frame to choose
    which screen area I want to zoom in.
    It's just zooming out to full view of file. I hate this, but I can't turn it off.

    I was just being sarcastic. I knew it is a feature while searching for a way to fix the issue awhile back. I am very interested in knowing if any user out there could somehow fix the problem by reseting, reinstalling, etc. I got an update a few hours ago, and that didnt fix it either.
    I have tried a lot of suggestions, and the only one seems to be working for me is to turn on "Scrubby Zoom"
    Noel,
    I run Adobe CS5 on MBP 10.6 and CS6 on MBPr 10.8. No additional plugins, English US keyboard. The laptops come with standard configuration... nonetheless, they both have the same issue.
    I am sure my computers have different settings from others, but this issue does not seem to be isolate as there are other users have experience it too.
    I personally, don't think it is too hard to re-create.  Most likely happen when
    1. Hold down space+command to zoom in
    2. Release keys, then hold down space and start moving around
    3. there you go, "bird's eye view" comes
    One thing I notice is that the problem does not occur all the time.

  • 32 Bit HDR Problem With Lightroom and Photoshop CS6

    Hello all:
    In following Julieanne's Adobe TV topic here ->  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/quick-tip-creating-32bi t-hdr-images-in-lr-41/ a problem arises when trying to save from Photoshop CS 6. According to Julieanne you hit ctrl-s so that PS saves the HDR image and then it should show up in Lightroom. What I have found is that hitting crtrl-s saves it as a PSD file which does automatically show up in Lightroom, however Lightroom but  can't read it. If I do a save-as, and select TIFF as the extension Lightroom will not automatically see the TIFF file. I have to synchronize the folder in order to have Lightroom import it.
    Why would Lightroom automatically see a PSD file (that is of no use) and not see the TIFF file?
    Is there a setting in PS that will change the preferences to save as a TIFF instead of a PSD file?
    Using Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop CS6.
    Thanks,
    Terry

    Go to LR's preferences > External Editing tab and change the top pop-up to TIFF and you should be all set.

  • Problem with image processor - photoshop cs6

    Hi there .
    I am trying to automate - image processor. From open files i am just trying to save theese pdf's as jpg's. Should be straight forward but I get this error...
    "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop."
    Anyone know why? I saw one google someone suggesting to reset the preferences or someting but I so not know how to do this or if it will help...
    thanks.

    It look like both the Image Processor script and the Image Processor Pro script will not process open document that have no associated backing file.  When you open a PDF file and use options for Photoshop to use opening the PDF the documents that open are new document the source PDF files have been processes into a new documents that have not been saved so the open document has no associated backing file.
    I mad a simple test. Opened a PDF. Tried the two scripts they failed. Then I saved the open document and the ran the Image processor on the still open document that had been saved as a tif.  The image processor worked and saved a jpg.
    It may be possible to write a small script to save open Document as jpeg files and close the open documents or loop around the open document ring and just save document that have no backing file.
    You could also try using Paul Riggott PDF Processor script to do it all....

  • Seamless repeating pattern - using embedded images with clipping masks

    Hi forum,
    We struggle a bit creating a seemless repeating pattern that includes embedded images with clipping masks applied.
    Our pattern is a 550x550mm black square with various embedded inserted on top. All of these images have Clipping Masks applied to hide unwanted areas.
    These images are placed so they create a seamless repeating pattern and this includes areas that overlap the square.
    Once we create a swatch from this pattern the repeatable area becomes too big as it includes the unwanted areas hidden by the clipping masks.
    Because the repeatable area is now too big it's actually not repeatable.
    We tried various things in order to solve this issue. Pathfinder/crop to delete the unwanted areas in the images etc.
    None of them worked good enough.
    We though of just livetracing the images, but due to the complexity this is not an option.
    Do we really have to do our "cutting" in Photoshop or do you know any fancy tricks for issues like this?
    Appreaciate your insight
    Kenneth

    Kenneth,
    You may try the destructive deed, with the Clipping Mask selected:
    1) In the Transparency palette/panel dropdown list select anything but Normal (Multiply is fine),
    2) Object>Flatten Transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% Vector,
    3) Shudder.
    This should reduce the size to the Bounding Box of the Clipping Path.

  • Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?

    Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?. Why does Photomerge Exposure not give me a finished DONE photo. If I open 2 photos, it will merge then, and when I press DONE I get a new photo file that I can save. However, if I open 3 photos, and go through the same process, the software analyzes the photos, I get a new image, BUT when I press DONE, the new image vanishes???? I can open the same 3 photos in Elements 8 and it works fine. any ideas please.

    I, too, am having problems in version 11 with Photomerge Exposure.  I can merge the 3 photos successfully with version 10.  In version 11 when I click done, I am taken back to the Expert mode of the Editor but the merged photo in the photo bin is not accessible.  When I first return to the editor, one of the original images (before merge) is selected.  When I double/click on the merged photo it doesn't become the active image.  In fact, any image I double click on momentarily becomes the active image and then jumps to another one.
    The merged photo is visible in the photo bin but I can't select it.
    I am running version 11 on my MacBook running OS 10.6.8
