    Help with putting mask+pattern onto group

    So I used to be able to do this in CS3, but recently got CS5 and found that I can't exactly do the same anymore. What I did was make a group, then a mask on the group and then the mask was a pattern. I'd make a new layer for the group and anything I did in the group had a nice texture/pattern...

    Quick Mask Feature Stopped working

    On CS4 when I click the Quick Mask button it indicates that it's on but will not paint what I'm trying to mask. I tried opening PS with shift+ctrl+alt to reset preferences but do not get the question to return to default. I'm using it on Vista. It worked fine a day ago.

    Apply selection to layer mask?

    Here I thought I was so smart. At least this seemed like something I should be able to do, but it's something I don't know and obviously never tried before. Can I load a selection and use that to paint on the mask somehow? Go ahead and berate me! But give me an answer please! :redface:

    I have imported a video as layers into Photoshop and there are now 25 layers. I want to mask an area in all but one of the layers to make an animated GIF. I create the layer mask on Layer 2 and I've have found I can copy the same mask to another layer by clicking and dragging it there whilst...

    Making an Accurate Selection

    My project requires a precise mask of an object--particularly clothes on a colored background. I've been using the pen tool to accurately outline the object (even for hair, which takes forever!!). The quick selection tool provides a quick mask, when used with the refine edge command, but the...
