Ok heres an image i an trying to edit in ADobe CS3 extended.
It was working fine for what i wanted the other day, now i can't seem to get it to work again.
It is a gump or image for an older game, its a character doll window.
So what im trying to do again, is just edit the actual window all the greyish colored border.
So i cropped out the middle black section, cut as a new layer, works great.
Now i can run a paint brush with any effect over the image and it won't paint the center black piece, ok so that works right still.
But now it will paint over the 4 black corners of the image, as if its all one layer... which is not what i want it to do.
It was not doing that the other day, and I did not have to crop out the four corner black sections then cut as a separate layer.
Not sure if an option was changed or what.
Before I would just crop out the middle black piece as its own layer, then paint the actual greyish border image and the 4 black corner pieces were seemingly auto ignored or auto cropped in a different layer and they would not be painted on..
So I tried to the select and crop out of the 4 corner pieces manually and add as a new layer, but i can;t effectly select just the black color, when cropping any way i can figure out it will eventually crop a bit into the actual grey border image that im trying to edit separately...
To crop the middle black peice i just used the "quick selection tool" and it just selected all the black in the middle perfectly, and i made that a new layer unedittable, which i wanted.
But if I try doing that to the four black corner's it selects more than i want or need selected..
I hope this makes sense, Any one have any idee what im talking about or any advice on how I can fix it so it goes back to how it was the other day? allowing me to paint over the entire picture any way i want and not paint into the black 4 corners?
OK Here is the first image I am trying to edit, to give you a better idea, The image beside it is what i did to it a couple days ago, gave it a bloody splash effect/feel.
Turned out great, worked exactly how i wanted.. But now for some reason i just can't do the same thing.. I am trying to make another theme, but with a smoke theme..
So i downloaded a Brush theme for smoke but when i click it around on the first image, it paints the entire image including those top 4 corners, and i have no idea how to get it to work with how i did the bloody image theme, The top 4 black corners can't be painted or it won't display properly in the game...
