    Masking Q - Lasso an Pen tool.

    Thanks, I believe you solved my problem I will work with it a bit more to confirm. I set it to combine shapes. Somehow it had been set to "subtract from shape" and I was getting results I couldn't understand. First couple moves I am making work as expected now. Hopefully that's it. Thank you...

    Masking Q - Lasso an Pen tool.

    Thanks for the reply. Pen is was set to path and I am making the path a selection (by hitting Command/enter) before hitting delete. The problem is that it always comes up as a white mask and therefore hides the bottom layer when I hit delete to add the new selection to the mask. It does not...

    layer/mask question

    Yes thanks. If I add a mask it works. What confused me is in the tutorial it is a one click process. He never clicks the mask but a mask is added as soon he hits the adjustment layer icon, and like I said his new layer looks different than mine. Im not sure if that is a preference you can set...

    simple layers compositing question

    Thanks everyone. I've taken one step forward and it has created a couple questions. The gradient tool has worked. I stack 3 images in layers. Create white masks in the top two. The middle layer I drag the gradient from left to right (color set to black.) The top image I drag the gradient right...

    simple layers compositing question

    I want to combine parts of 3 images ( different exposures of hte same subject.) I see the way to do this with 2 images. I just put them in layers, make a mask (white) on the top image, and paint away in black. What do I do to combine the end result of the 2 image composite with a third image...

    combining 2 images into single document

    Thanks. Ive found about 3-4 different ways to accomplish the same thing now. I also found out what I was doing wrong with the technique I was failing at. I was dragging the pic by taking the cursor all the way to the tab of the doc I wanted to drop it into. This was causing the problem. You...
