I have baked out ( from 3D software) some ambient occlusion/shadow maps that I want to use as shadows. I want to mask out the ALL of the white and replace it with transparency. I...

    Quick Mask in CC 2017

    I have CC on two machines and recently updated my desktop iMac to CC2017. I'm not sure yet, if I like it or not. The first thing I found is that when doing a selection, the Quick Mask function does not work the way I'm used to. When I make a selection and highlight it with a Quick Mask it...

    Help with cut-outs

    Hi - I wasn't sure whether to post this here or the 'asking for free editing' part. I'd just like a little help/advice on cut-outs. My photoshop skills are generally ok, but my dark secret is that I'm *terrible* at doing selections and cut-outs. I have such a complex about it now. I've been...

    Gradient tool & layer mask

    I'm having a problem with this. I was watching a tutorial where the person used a layer mask on the a layer image then used gradient tool on the layer mask however when I do this, the gradient doesn't apply on the layer mask. I believe they were using cs6 while I'm using cs3. Any advice?

    Filling a logo

    I want to fill in the font here in this image to white, without filling in the area surrounding it. I was hoping to use some kind of mask to automatically keep everything outside of the letter/s transparent. How can I do this?

    I'd like to create a black/white layer, then use it as a mask on several other layers, in such a way that when I change the mask layer, it automatically changes the masking in all the places I've used it as a mask. Is this possible? I can't group the masked layers as they have to be in...
