Mask and Refine, selection, crop problems with bleed

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have a problem with mask from selection: if have bleed, then mask no expanded to bleed area. Just test these steps:

  • create a new project with bleed (ex. 5mm)
  • change to Photo Persona
  • place an image what run over bleed (be biggest)
  • duplicate image
  • select a part of top image with Flood select tool
  • click on Refine
  • select Output to Mask
  • change layer mode on top Image and see bleed area! If select mask, then will see mask end at bleed.

This big problem for press, because bleed is a cutting area. I can't change mask.

I found a workaround:

select area on image, but do no press Refine, just select Layer tab -> Mask Layer on top image. If use Refine, bleed will cutted from mask!!!

 

These tools have problem with bleed too:

  • Marquee Tools (all, select any area with bleed, and after selection cropped at bleed)
  • Crop tool (by default not select bleed area)

 

Please fix these in 1.9 if possible!

Problem still not fixed in 1.9

This really gets me down as I always start a job setup for print including 3mm bleed - just seems really daft that you can only make pixel selections, edit layer masks, use quick mask, blah blah blah within the page area - been using the copy paste to a bigger document and back, workaround for years now but it still makes me 🤬 surely we should have got this capability when we were given the ability to rasterise without trimming to the page area which was 1.5 or 1.6 🤯😫😭

Is it a joke? I selected hairs, and under Refine selected New layer with mask. Here is result. Joke. Look at hair, bleed...

Ok, this bug not fixed in 1.10 versions. I'm a book cover creator, and have problem with bleed area with mask again. I cannot use mask on bleed and have Brightness/contrast problem. Need open a new topic for fix, or when will get a fix for bleed?

Look at girl's leg and hair. And I cannot select or masking the bleed area.

...And if you try to select the images and the adjustements, etc. to paste from clippboard in a new AP document, you get the wrong PPI bug, etc. Last time, I had so many bug impending a 1 page creation that after few hours trying to trick APub, I ended up in another app doing it in 10 minutes.
