just-marc Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I am searching für a replacement of a Photoshop Workflow: For non destruktive dotch and burn, i created a new layer with 50 % grey, just bei activating a checkbox when creating the new layer. Setting to light mode or so - i do not know the correct name in EN. Than using soft black or white brushes with low opacity worked very well? Is there a similar possibility in AP? Quote
Staff Leigh Posted August 27, 2015 Staff Posted August 27, 2015 Welcome to the forums just-marc :) It's not possible to create a layer with 50% grey at the moment like in PS. As a workaround you could create a new Pixel Layer and use the Flood Fill Tool to fill it with 50% grey - RGB(128,128,128). You can then switch the 50% grey layer's Blend Mode to Soft Light. Hope this helps :) Quote
Jakerlund Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Hi Marc, 1. Make a new Pixel Layer over the main image layer. 2. Use Edit -> Fill (or Matt) and set it to 50% grey 3. Set this new grey layer to Blend Mode "Overlay" 4. Use the brush and paint with white/black, swap with X. Cheers :) Edit: woops, Leigh posted while i was typing. :rolleyes: Leigh, justwilliam and gary1948 3 Quote
