Hello friends, I am having an issue with a purchased action and I'm wondering if anyone can give some insight. The action requires you to paint, on a new layer above the background, what you want in focus. I attempted to kill 2 birds with one stone by creating a layer mask to isolate the subject. My intent was to apply the action and change the background. I created the mask then filled the area of the mask that represented the subject with color. I then applied the layer mask and had a colored layer exactly the same size of the subject. However, when I applied the action as instructed, the resulting image was unusable. The subject was completely washed out by color (it was a fire action) and the detail was lost in the flames and sparks. When I brushed the new layer with the brush tool, it worked fine. Can anyone give me some info onto why this is happening? I'm wondering if there is a workaround.
Thanks,
Dan.
