AprilDawn Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 here is my Day 2... Cassel I like the effect that this technique can achieve... for my page I put the brush layer under the mask layer because I liked the effect better on my photo........ I made the plaid with one of your scripts.... looking forward to receiving Day 3. Dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl Jentz Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Cassel, can you please tell me why my background is showing through the picture that I'm using under the mask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 @ Cheryl, it looks like the mask is not pure white (but very light grey), so SOME of the image is partly translucent, making the background show through. To fix that, activate the mask layer, and go to Adjust > Brightness and Contrast > Brightness and contrast and increase the contrast. That should turn the white really white.

Cheryl Jentz Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thank you Cassel, that worked. Not completely happy with this pic, but here it is. (I tried my best) Shortly after my grandson was born, my daughter and her infant son both underwent life saving surgeries. I'm so grateful that 5 years later I have them both in my life. She is my only child, as now Tanner is hers as well. I made the plaid background first and this was the only picture I could find of Tanner that matched the best. I did not receive Day 3 or 4's e-mails, but tonight received Day 5's. At the pace I'm going, perhaps that is a good thing! Lol! Thank you for your patience and help.

Britt Marie Halonen Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thank you very much for these lessons. This is what I had time to do today, I am not satisfied, but doing and learning are the most important for me just now - and I have enjoyed doing them.

DeLoris Musick Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Day 04: This was a fun challenge in that I have never made my own mask before. Thank you Carole! My family is very small; 2 daughters (Marie & Heather), 1 grandson (Danny), 1 cat (Heidi) and 1 snuggle bug (Richard)! I have the most pictures of Danny & Heidi. The rest of this challenge will be of them. I used the Scrapbooking Studios February Collection for day 4. You can get the individual packs here: https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/collections/studio-store-collections/ Everyone is doing an amazing job and I love seeing all the different ways each day is done! Hugs, DeLoris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLoris Musick Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Day 05: Love Story (I've been calling it Valentines). I took this picture of Heidi yesterday. She was sitting so daintily looking out the window. I like making my own masks, but honestly, I'd prefer a template. It's faster! LOL This was fun to do though. I used Love Is by OohLaLa Scraps, but she is no longer in the store I bought it from. You can see her here: https://oohlalascraps.blogspot.com I love my kitty! She is sooo much company and entertainment. I live alone and she is just purrfect! Hugs, DeLoris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnet Allard Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Tout beau ce qui s'est ajouté depuis ma visite d'hier, BRAVO! Jour 5 - Merci Carole, je viens de faire un masque que j'aime beaucoup. Que faut-il faire pour l'enregistrer afin de le réutiliser?

Sue Thomas Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Day 5. Thoroughly enjoying this challenge. After a lot of searching for the right background conditions, and ideal snowflakes, on bitter cold days, I found my snowflake on the 3rd Feb.

Cassel Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 @ Jnet, excellente question. Voici la réponse: Assure-toi que le calque du masque est activé. Layers > Load/Save Mask > Save Mask to Disk et donne-lui un nom Maintenant, il sera dans ta liste de masques que tu peux utiliser plus tard. Jnet asked how to save a mask that you have created and would like to reuse later. Here is how: make sure the mask layer is active go to Layers > Load/Save Mask > Save Mask to Disk and give it a meaningful name Now, that mask will appear in the list of masks to be used later. Thanks Jnet for the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Claire Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @ Cassel, Hello, I tried over and over again, but without good result. I increase contrast to 100 and my background is showing through the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 @ Marie-Claire, did you try increasing the contrast for the mask layer? The more white it gets, the more "opaque" the image will be. Anything greyish will create a translucent image/area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Claire Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @ Cassel, yes I put the contrast for the mask to 100, and you still see the background as you see in the screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 @ Marie-Claire, is the opacity level of the photo layer, set to 100%? Or the top layer of the group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Claire Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @ Cassel, Yes! that whas the problem, dont know how it happened, but the photo layer it whas set on 79%. Thank you for your time !! Now I try the two other pictures, hope without problems this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 @ Marie-Claire, since the other areas for photos are grey, you will likely have a similar issue, so turn them to black first or you can increase the contrast afterward to get that opacity for the photo.

Leslie Pugs Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @Cassel I have been playing around, but cannot figure out how to have the background (paper layer that we made) show behind the mask. It must be a simple fix, but is beyond me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 @Leslie, if you place the paper completely BELOW the mask group, it should show below. Some reasons that a paper could show on top or through are: maybe the paper layer is placed above the mask group; sometimes, you might have more than one mask groups, so it can be placed accidentally above one maybe the paper is inside the mask group; make sure it does still appear if you "close" the mask group (with the little arrow on the left) maybe the mask is not completely opaque, or one layer inside has an opacity layer below 100%, which will show the background paper through even if it is below. Try those and see if it solved the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Pugs Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yup, the paper was not below ALL the mask layers. Thank you, Cassel. I have a true animal sanctuary near us, with peacocks and flamingos and a ton of other animals that cannot be released back into the wild. I'm an animal lover, so it's perfect for me. I made the paper from a part of the peacock. Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Kendrick Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thank you, Cassel, you are right, just a bit of a shadow makes a big difference in being able to read the text! Also, here is my Day 5 page. We had an exchange student from Argentina staying with us. She went on a trip to California with other exchange students and got this picture of her looking out at the ocean with her Argentinian flag over her head. The paper is SP.com Festival Paper Sack and the heart is Monti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
