Aw shucks, that's great. Thanks!

Can I turn off the blue line around items? Thanks! Phil

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a little bit of help. If I have a file open and select a layer and then, for instance, create a square selection with all the marching ants. If I'm in Photoshop and I hit the delete key it will delete what is within the selection. In Photo it deletes the entire layer. I have found myself having to grab the eraser tool and erase what within the selection but I'm sure there must be a better way of doing it. Is there a way that you know that would allow me to just delete what is within a selection? Thanks for any help with this. Phil

Sure. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I will set up my own thread. Sorry if you felt diluted on your thread here. All the best!

GENIUS! There it is!

Of course, wouldn't you?

Ah, that seems to be it although, unless I am mistaken, you don't get the Lock Children option if the object is a text object. I had to delete the mask then rasterise the layer, reload the selection from a spare channel, create the mask, choose the move tool, choose lock children, then it works. If I tried to rasterise the layer without deleting the mask first it rasterised the mask too. Complex stuff!

Thanks. If I do that I can move the mask but I want to move the content and NOT the mask. Does that make sense? I can't seem to select just the content layer without the mask layer being selected too. I tried turning off the mask to no avail.

Hi all, take a look at the attached. I have created that text and masked it to Ales's head. Now I would like to move the text a bit without changing the mask so that it still deletes the area behind his head. In PS I would just select the text and move it but I can't seem to make that happen in Photo (see second screenshot). Can someone help? This ought to be traightforward, surely? Thanks. Phil

I jumped ahead a few! I hope you don't mind. You have inspired me to try stuff out.

Would it be possible to add a Close All option to the File menu? PS has it and I often find it useful when I have a lot of images open. When I go into Crop tool, it is always set to 'unconstrained' and I have to change it back to original proportions which is, 99% of the time, what I want. Could that be a preference?

The blurry one is wonderful.

I am having the same issue. I export from Photo with a bunch of adjustment layers as an LUT and bring it into Premiere Elements and the colors aren't right. Is this issue still prevalent or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by ;what happens'. There would be a lot of threads with pictures of work. Why would that be a problem?

Without wanting to get into a flame war I have to ask why you care. You don't have to look at this thread and I, for one, enjoy getting notifications when Brian uploads a new image and see no reason at all why he should share files if he doesn't want to.
