Rotating mask not working

Hi, getting very frustrated as i cant see what the problem is
I have two layers, the bottom layer is a graphic, above it i
have a group which consists of an outline of a circle and then a
segment of the circle. I've set a motion tween and set it to rotate
clockwise so the segment basically moves around (due to the outline
of the circle).
I've then made it a mask, in source it works perfectly, eg
you see part of the graphic below as it rotates around.
However when i publish it it doesnt work, dont see either
graphic ? If i then 'unmask' it and publish it i can see the circle
moving round on top of the graphic, the minute i make it a mask
(and it works in source) then when i publish it i dont see anything
Dont understand what i've done wrong ?
Can anyone help ? Regards

Found out what the problem was, by having two graphics in the
mask it seemed to mess it up. The static outline of a circle (for
the segment to move around) messed it up, if i deleted the outline
of the circle then changed the focal point of the segment instead
it worked.
Still think its strange why the original didnt work (I had
someones old code and was trying to recreate it) but all is working
now doing it this way.
Thanks anyway

Thinkpad Helix - Screen auto rotation does not work (Issue 3/3)

Hi,
I have installed a clean Windows 8.1 on the Helix and have several issues. Putting them into several threads so they can be answered independently.
The first thing I did after installing the system (and critical Windows Updates) was running the Lenovo System Update tool and downloading everything.
Screen rotation does not work. In “Device Manager” I can see “C5621 gw Mobile Broadband Geolocation Sensor” and “Hid Sensor Collection”. The HID one has an exclamation mark next to it. Are there some drivers I need to download to make this work. I did of course check if screen rotation is not locked – it is not (I did turn it on/off a couple of times, without any effect). Manual rotation (using display settings) works fine.
Thank you in advance for any help,
Łukasz
Solved!

Hi Lukasz,
Try, in device manager, right click on HID Sensor Collection then uninstall. Reboot, and see if the driver is loaded properly, if not click on scan for hardware changes.

What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly.... come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB. It's intermittent. Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off). Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8. I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.

Mask not working correctly?

Hi every one!
I have this problem with my mask not working properly, i have an image, and it has an red fruit sitting on a table,
i have to make the picture sepia using an adjustment layer ( my lecturer says it MUST be done that way)
but leaving the fruit as red as possible. So when i do this i MUST use the layer mask provided by the
adjustment layer, but what is happening is the orange is going a very faded red ( but not quite sepia), the table BG does go sepia..
so its KIND OF working but not really.
Cheers

Check your mask by OPTION CLICKING on the mask icon on the specific layer. This will show you a greyscale mask. BLACK hides, WHITE REVEALS. SO obviously grey does half of each! So if you dont want the apple to be affected by the layer mask you must paint it BLACK in the mask of that adjustment layer.

Yes.

Must be a Windows bug then.

Help - Simple mask not working in Flash CS4

Hi everyone,
Thanks for taking a minute to read my post.
I am creating a very simple mask using motion tweening. I created some text on a layer and made it a masked layer. Then I created a mask layer which consists of a circle that will span across the text. When I play the movie the circle does not show up at all in the frames the mask layer spans (it's purple on a black background) and the circle does not move across the text like I told it to with the motion tweening. I don't know why it's not working. For some reason the circle isn't showing on the stage at all and it's not moving across the text. I don't know if I have it set up wrong on the timeline or what. Here's the steps I followed to create the mask:
1.insert a new layer in which I named it mask and click frame 1 on this layer
2. select the oval tools on the tools panel and set the stroke to none
3. set the fill color to purple
4. draw a circle and click the selection tool and drag a marquee around the circle to select it.
5. click insert on the menu bar, click motion tween then click ok in dialog box about converting it to a symbol to be tweened
6. click the last frame in the mask layer and drag the circle to the end of the line of text
7.click mask on the timeline to select the mask layer, click modify on the menu bar, point to timeline then click layer properties
8. verify the show check box is selected in the name section, click the lock check box to select it, click the mask option button in he type section, then click ok.
9. play the movie in which the circle object covers the text on the masked layer as it moves across the stage
Thanks for your help!

Update 8-2-10: In play mode the text was still visible when it shouldn't be but once I tested the movie the mask worked correctly with the text. So problem solved
-ashmic19
Thanks for all who viewed this. I finally figured out why it wasn't working. I had the mask layer locked. But now the circle is moving across the text but the text is viewable when it shouldn't be until the circle moves across it. How come it's doing this?

Mask not working correctly in swf

Hai Friends,
I am trying to do a simple masking which works correctly in
fla but when viewed in swf the text which is masked is not
seen..What i did is first i wrote some text converted it to
movieclip then in another layer i did draw a rectangle with some
color and right clicked the rectangle and masked it When viewed in
fla the masked text is viewable but when converted to swf the text
is not seen Is it some problem with Flash Can you please help me...

Text is not able to be masked in Flash by default.
You CAN do this IF you embed your text (or simply break it
apart into vectors if it doesn't need to be dynamic).
To break apart - select your text and hit Ctrl+B twice (Cmd+B
on Mac). This will make the text vectors, thus negating the
problem.
Otherwise, you need to embed the fonts in 2 ways. First, if
you like, you can click the "Embed fonts" button in the properties
panel, and select what to embed. OR, you can go to the Library's
drop-menu and select "New Font" - choose your font, and click OK.
Either of these methods embeds your font. BUT, there is one more
step. You need to give your text box an instanceName, go to the
actions panel, and enter the following:
myTextBox.embedFonts = true;
This will finish the embed process to allow the masking (and
alpha changes) to work for the text.

Portege M700 - Rotation Button Not Working In Tablet Mode

I have a Portege M700 and when I turn it into tablet mode the rotation button quits working.
It works when it in laptop mode.
I have the rotation utility set to go into secondary landscape and its no longer switching and the button on the front of the screen will not switch it anymore either.
I can go into the rotation software and rotate it manually.
Any suggestions on how to get the button functioning again?
Oh and I am running Vista Business with SP 2.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes it does rotate it just wont rotate with the button once I turn it . also when I turn it to tablet mode it goes into portrait, I need it to go into secondary landscape. I made sure that the setting are set to secondary landscape and that the button is set to rotate. but it just wont. I have reinstalled the drivers for the rotation utility. any other ideas would be very helpful. thanks

3D rotate tools not working correctly in PS 6.

Using Dell, Windows7 with Nvidia GEForce GTX 260 card. Driver 296.10 (current) Rotate tools not smooth on only 1 axis for each X,Y,Z. Its like snapping to point on one axis and smooth on the other. Trying to figure out if its graphics card or Photoshop related? I have tried different card settings and different PS preference settings with no success at fixing the problem.

Well the solution was a simple one for this and probably for many other 3D problems. When in 3D workspace just reset the work space and all is well.

Mask not working on loaded jpg

Hi,
I have a blank movie called "shell" on a frame, which is
where I load the jpg. - shell.loadMovie("1.jpg");
Above that the frame that contains the shell movie, I have a
mask layer. Once the jpg is loaded, I have a shape animation on the
mask layer that reveals the jpg.... but for some reason it doesn't
work. If I take away the mask layer it displays properly.
*UPDATE*
The mask stops working when the shape tween starts. Initialy
the masks works when there is no tween on the mask layer.

Thanks - your example worked for me. Not sure why I couldn't get it to work before. I think it was because the mask and the item were the same exact size as well. I created another example and posted below which is what I was going for.

Inverted layer mask not working

I havent used PS much of late but in CS6 when layer masking the technique I used to use doesnt seem to work anymore. I would have two layers. The top layer I would put a layer mask. Then I would select all and delete hit the delete button so the mask would turn black and invert. Then instead of painting black over white to reveal the bottom layer I would paint white over black to bring my top layer back. I liked doing it like this. But its not working now. When I paint with white on the black mask nothing happens?? I tried inverting in the properties but makes no diff. What am I doing wrong?

Check the blending mode on your brush. It may be set to darken or some other blend mode than normal. As a side note, you can invert a layer mask be making sure it's selected and press ctrl/cmd-i. You can also create a mask where everything is hidden by pressing alt/opt then clicking on the add layer mask icon in the layers pallet.

CS5 Layer Mask not working. Hide all not hiding

I need some help here. CS5 on win 7 64 bit. Duplicate layer and apply a layer mask (alt click) and it does not hide the layer. Just applying a mask and painting with black also does not hide. If I hide the background layer then the mask appears as the white and grey checkerboard pattern, no solid color. Am I missing something simple?
Thanks, Dave

The checkerboard indicates places where your entire document is transparent through and through.
I suspect your mask is working as it's supposed to, and that when the background layer is visible you're just seeing through to the duplicate layer below - which by definition will not look any different on your display.
Try this:
Add a brightly colored solid color fill layer just below the layer you're masking. Now see what the mask does to the upper layer.

Properties panel for masks not working

The apply, disable and delete buttons on the properties panel for masks does not work in PSD CC. Is this a bug or do I have some setting not set correctly? If I want to apply a layer mask I have to drag it to the trash in the layers panel then make a choice on a popup menu. They worked in CS6.

I don't know exactly what is going on with your friend's system, but the instance you mentioned of Applying layers masks, was actually a safety error trap. i.e. Do you really want to trash this layer mask or do you want to Apply it before deleting it.
In CC the Adjustment layer, and Masks share the same Properties panel, so you have to have a mask selected to view the masks panel. It all works sensibly IME. As I said above, you were coming at something a bit left field. That's not necessarily wrong. Whatever workflow works best for you is best for you, but there might be better ways to do things.
A lot of us rail innitially at changes to apps we have used in a certain way for many years, but IME they always turn out to be for the better once you get used to them.
