(SOLVED) Remask 2 - Invert Selection?

[MikeR]

I was working with Remask 2 and wanted to Invert the selection of Keep & Cut. Is there an easy way of doing this?

In addition, there is a point in the Users Guide that shows how to set up a duplicate layer with layer mask. See "Sample Project #2", page 26. I created the layer and layer mask, selected the layer mask thumbnail, but when I tried to enter Topaz Remask from the layer mask I wasn't allowed to choose Topaz Labs in the Filter pull down (grayed out). The only way I've been able to work with Remask is within a normal layer rather than a Layer Mask.

PS CS4 - 6 bit
Topaz Remask 2
Windows 7, 64 bit

Don't start from the layer mask thumbnail, klick on the thumbnail of the image on the duplicated layer ;-)
After creating the mask you can invert the layer mask in Photoshop by using "Ctrl+i" on the layer mask thumbnail, if it is needed.

We have a short (one image) tutorial on doing just what you are asking over on the Flickr Topaz group.

And here is the image...

Harry & Martin,

Thanks for the assistance. I guess my first mistake was trying to follow the instructions

Here is the page from the User Guide that l had me picking the Mask thumbnail instead of the Image thumbnail:


I came across one additional odd occurance while trying to resolve this issue yesterday. When trying to bring up the Remask 2 User Guide the Detail 2 User Guide came up on screen. I ended up having to download another copy of the Remask 2 manual from the Topaz site...

Thanks again for your assistance. Hopefully Eric or Ashley will see this thread and get a correction in on the manual.

Mike, I'm glad to see you are already a member of the Flickr Topaz group,
I hope you are joining in some of the challenges!!

And you are right, the user guide does tell you to click on the mask thumbnail doesn't it.
Eric, Asley, you can use my graphic by all means!!
