 Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 10:53 am Post subject: Create Selection From Cut Out... |
 |
|
Hi all....
I use Vertus Fluid Mask, but it can't create selections, only cut outs - if I duplicate the original image and use Fluid Mask to create the cut out on a transparent background, how can I then turn this into a selection to bring back into the original image?
TIA |

Ctrl click the layer in the layers palette to select. |

OK, am getting there slowly.... selection works great - I can copy paste the cut out as a layer on top of the original image, and then ctrl+click to get the selection (it's to put into Alien Skin Bokeh) but when opening bokeh, it only shows the transparent background, not the original one. How can I get the selection onto the original image?
Sorry for being such a newbie, but we all have to learn I suppose..
TIA |

I took a brief look at the program...It appears that you are supposed to make a selection of what you do not want affected. Then run the plug-in to blur (Bokeh) the non-selected areas.
My thinking tells me to ctrl-click the selected layer. Then turn it off (eyeball icon) and highlight the original layer which will now have the selection on it, then use the plug-in.
Sorry I can't be more help, but I don't use the program. |
