Using masks Cs6

HI All,
Question about masks in Cs6. In After Effects I have a choice to either add mask or subtract mask.
IE: I draw an ellipse I can either show the ellipse part or mask it.
In P.S I am not getting what I need. I must be missing a simple step. If you could share > the > Path > to achieve this it is appreciated.
Using INVERT

Your screen grab is pixellated but I believe it shows you are down among the Custom Shape Tools. That is not where you want to be,
You want to use the Elliptical Marquee tool located here:
After creating the circular selection as described in the note I sent you, and the circle of marching ants appear on the image, click here
and mask will be created.

  • Why is using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor for Acrobat still a complete failure?

    Image objects in pdfs are losing their positional and other parameters when saved after editing with Photoshop CS6(ONLY).  The problem was acknowledged on the Photoshop forum three months ago, but they said it was up to the Acrobat folks to fix it.  When using most previous versions of Photoshop (CS2-CS5 all tested) as the touchup image editor, Acrobat was able to place the image right back into it's previous position in the pdf and it could  do this without releasing whatever path was used to crop or mask the image (basically it worked great).  However, using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor is still a complete failure.  Any idea when or if this will be fixed?
    Thanks

    The Photoshop 13.0.1 Update fixes this issue.  Excellent.

  • How do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book

    how do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book?

    Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
    Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
    If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork.

  • I just bought a new Mac and migrated my CS6 over.  Now when I open it, I'm told I'm running a trial version of Cloud.  Why can't I use my CS6 version that I purchased?  I don't want to pay for something I've already bought.

    Here's how to convert the Trail to Permanent:
    On receiving Trial/Trial Expired screen
    Make sure that you are online
    Click on license this software
    Perpetual product owners: Log in with adobe ID and enter product serial number
    Product should be licensed successfully

  • Use mask to show one bullet point at a time

    I have content in multiple bullet points of text. The background is a texture. I'd like to use mask to show the text in sync with audio. It works but the text is the color of the mask. I have bullet point itself in a different color. How can I mask the area to show and use its own color?
    Or is there a better way to sync multiple bullet points of text without having each bullet points in its own layer and MC?
    Thanks,

    make sure your font is embedded.

  • I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

    I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

    The D610 needs ACR 8.3 so you are easily covered there.  I am not entirely clear on the process you are using the bring the files onto your hard drive.  The safest way is to simply bring all the NEF files into a folder on your hard drive, then find them with bridge and open from there.
    If still stuck, open Photoshop, and go Help > About plugins > Camera RAW and check that 8.7 installed OK.

  • After using PS CS6 for well over a year, Bridge now will not open RAW images in Camera Raw, although

    After using PS CS6 for well over a year, Bridge now will not open RAW images in Camera Raw, although Photoshop does. When I try to open them in Bridge, I receive a popup message that says that it "requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." Obviously, I have done so hundreds of times since installing and activating CS6. What gives, and how do I fix it?

    Things have now become significantly worse!
    Now when I try to open anything from Bridge, or try to open PhotoShop at all, I receive a popup that gives me 2 options: 1) License PS CC, or 2) continue with my trial of PS CC.
    So far as I know, I have not downloaded any trial of anything from Adobe in many months. In fact, I have no interest in PS CC. I wish simply to use PS CS6.
    I have uninstalled my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard, of which my PS CS is a part, and reinstalled it but I still am blocked from using my properly licensed programs.
    Please advise.

  • Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

    Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

    All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
    …you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
    …and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
    … (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
    If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

  • Cannot use PhotoShop CS6 after trial expired, even after purchasing Creative Cloud Student Edition

    Hi.
    I had PhotoShop CS6 trial, which expired.
    I have purchased Creative Cloud student edition, I receive a message that my PhotoShop trial has expired.
    I am prompted to purchase the product to extend it, or type in the product's serial number
    (I never received a serial number.)
    I paid for Creative Cloud and have an order number, I should not be having this issue. 
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled PhotoShop CS6 multiple times, I also use DreamWeaver and am fearful that I will encounter the same issue. How can I use the Photoshop CS6 after I have paid for it?
    Curonda in Milwaukee, WI.

    Hi.
    The trial expired 2 weeks ago - Monday.
    I purchased the Cloud Yesterday, also 2 weeks ago Monday 10/15/2012.
    I purchased it twice thinking 1 purchase did not complete.
    I still will need to request a refund for 1, I've been too busy between, work, school, and kid. I'm at work now.

  • Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg

    Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg. Must be making a school boy error! Please help!

    In similar cases, my solution is to "select all" then "deselect" only the artwork I want to keep and "delete". If I'm curious I may "cut" then "paste" to see what shows up in the center of the screen. it is usually some stray point. or other element out direct sight.

  • Owner of CS6 Master. Unaccidentally installed Acrobat XI Professional. Was always trial - not upgrade. Uninstalled Acrobat XI Pro. Can I just download the Acrobat X Pro and install it using the CS6 Master License number ?

    Hi, I believe I made a mistake when installed Acrobat XI Professional over the CS6 Master version Acrobat X Professional. The result ended up with running a trial version of Acrobat XI Professional. I wanted to upgrade but not using the subscription version, but rather buy the software and own it, like with my CS6 Master Software. Well, I now uninstalled the Acrobat XI Professional and wondering if I now can download the Acrobat X Pro software, install it and use the CS6 Master license number to get going ?
    Kind Regards
    Gunnar

    Well. After downloading the separate full version of Acrobat X Professional, it could not be installed using the serial # for CS6 Master Collection. I started the installation for CS6 Master Collection and ONLY selected Acrobat X Professional. Voila! Now everything is working.
