What do you do when painting on a layer mask with the correct color dosen't work?

I have been trying to do some compositing but when i paint with white on a black layer mask or black on a white layer mask, NOTHING HAPPENS.  What should I be looking for?  Is there an adjustment that needs to be set a certain way?  I would also like to know how you open multiple images in one document with each image on it's own layer. Thanks...

Everything is set correctly... still nothing.
I want to use a texture and an image.  I have them both in the same document, but the only way to get the texture to allow the image to show through is to reduce the opacity. That's not the look I want.  I tried clipping the two different images together, but then I could only see the photo itself and no texture.  I just don't understand why when I set things correctly they don't work.
One other question if I may?  Everything, all of a sudden is opening in Preview instead of with PS as it has always been in the past.  I don't recall changing any settings.  What should I look for to make PS my default...
Oh and one more thing. When I click on Safari photoshop goes missing and Safari shows.  If I click on photoshop then Safari goes missing.  This is INCREDIBLY annoying and I don't know why it's doing that. Both these things started at the same time.  I'm on a Mac.

    I, too, love everything about my phone. The other day I tried to crash my Z10 by running multiple apps and having videos running in the background. Do you think my Z10 showed any signs of slowing down? Nothing doing! It ran as smooth as silk. I'm very impressed.
    Cheers.

  • What do you do when photos appear on iPhoto fine with preview, but show up back with an explanation point when selected?

    What do you do when photos appear on iPhoto fine with preview, but show up back with an explanation point when selected?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • What do you do when u backed up your phone on iTunes but it doesn't work and you loose all  your contacts

    I have tried to download music onto my phone using iTunes on the laptop then when I plugged the phone in it had started to back up the phone but then when I went onto it it had cleared everything from the phone and swapped it with my old iPhone 4s's stuff but then when I looked on that phone everything was the same now I have lost everything and when I had a look on the computer it said I had not backed the phone up so I don't know what to do as I don't have iCloud or anything.

    Mine too. At first, it would charge from my USB and now it won't even do that. When I try to charge it from a wall outlet, it alternates from the charging icon and a battery with an exclamation mark. It won't do anything else. Any help?

  • What do you do when during watching trailers it goes to the main page on your iPad mini?

    When I'm using the iMovie app while watching a trailer that I made ever since I put in the Zaggkeys ini 9 keyboard, it goes to the main screen during a trailer. Please help! I use a iPad mini and the version of the iMovie app is 1.4 (587).

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. After the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

  • HT1551 what does it mean when I see a black screen with the Apple logo but it wont do anything but that.  I have re booted 4 times  same outcome.  Help!

    I just hooked up my Apple TV.  I see a black screen with Apple logo.  Nothing else happens.  Remote functions as I see the white light respond.  Have rebooted 4 times but same thing occurs.  What should I try.
    Thanks.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
