Painting basics for layer masks.
Make sure you have the layer mask selected before painting:
Layer mask selected and ready to paint on.
Layer mask not selected - NOT ready to paint on.
If you cant see your anything happening when
painting, check these settings:
Is, f your eects arent appearing when painting on layer masks, and youve checked all the above settings, there are two more rare things to check for. Number
one would be your brush "ow" (how much is "owing" from your brush). Setting the brush ow is an available option in full Photoshop, but isn't shown in the
options bar for Elements users. However, the function is still present and be called up with shortcut keys (the brush tool + alt (or opt) + number key). If you
somehow clicked this shortcut on accident it will set your brush ow to that number and stay that way as a default for all brushes as a preference unless you reset
it. To reset it select the brush tool then press and hold the alt key (opt if on mac). While you have the alt (opt) key held down, press the 0 (zero) key. Your brush
ow should now be re-set to 100% ow. :) The second thing to try wouldbe resetting your preferences ... see page 14 for instructions.
Ive checked all the above and everything is set correctly!
