    Photoshop Restoration/Katrin Eismann

    My first post/question...In K. Eismann's book (2nd edition) CH4 page 127 she wants the reader to add a new layer and fill it with the foreground color which is sampled from the picture. I cannot get that layer to fill... it remains clear. I have spent far too much time on this and would really appreciate some help. What am I missing ?
    TIA

    Welcome aboard Jim. Just a shot in the dark. Are you going to Edit/Fill/Foreground color? When you get the box for picking the color, make sure Foreground color is chosen. I know that sounds too simple, but I've made mistakes like that a time or two.

      Are you by any chance leaving "Preserve Transparency" checked? If so it will be trying to preserve the transparency when you fill, which means (if your layer is completely transparent) it will be preserving that complete transparency.

      ("Preserve Transparency" is an option in the Edit -> Fill dialog box)

        Immediately above your new layer is an area that says Lock follows by 4 icons. Make sure the first one which says "Lock Transparent Pixels" when you hold the cursor over it, is unchecked.

          I was leaving the "Preserve Transparency" box checked...big dope award accepted. That's what happens when I get tired.
          Thank you very much. Looking forward to participating...maybe someday I will be able to answer questions instead of asking.

            by Dan B
            First I would like to say hello to everyone on the group. This is my first time posting here. I have been lurking for a few weeks.


            I've just shot a wedding in which the mother of the Bride asked if I could change the color of the curtains over the baptismal area. On a scale of...

            Tough (for me) restoration
            by knotted
            First of all, I'd like to say hi to the forum. I've learned a lot in the last few days just by reading through the older restoration threads. However, the picture I've attached has me stumped. I've tried several things to mask out the yellow and red-yellow areas and have only had limited success....

            Next Problem-Making the Window
            by ELFritzen
            I'm sure this problem has more to do with my limited experience with working with layers than anything else. I can complete the steps in making the window which start on p 186. I don't really understand exactly what is happening at Step 15 and beyond. I can complete the frame and the miter layer...

            Auto fill in layer bounding box with color?
            by Navstar
            I would be helpful for me l if there was a script that would take the bounding box for selected layers and fill it with a block of color. Like a "Redaction script"

            I sometimes need to send test files other people, but they shouldn't see the actual content of some of the layers...

            by e.b.west
            Some of you may have seen this question on dpreview, but I didn't get too many responses.

            I'd like to know how to draw a circle around an object in a photo. I know how to use the ellipse tool but I can't figure out how to make the fill in the circle become transparent and ,at the same...
