PHOTOSHOP: I’m trying to do something…

I have a transparent layer, then another layer ontop, and on this layer is a Brush, and around the brush I can see transparent parts…NOW, what I want to do is put a transparent layer on top of this brush layer (which I CAN do) and then where I’m having a problem is this..

I’m trying to make it so that the layer that’s on top of the Brush layer (a layer with just some color on it) I want the color I put on THIS layer to ONLY show up on the corresponding brush area below, NOT the brush AND the transparent part around it… I have tried using the “lock transparency” option in different ways, but it doesn’t seem to work.. and I tried different blend modes as well.

and every time it doesn’t fill in just the area of the brush.

Thanks!

I’d love to help but the way you wrote it is very confusing. The only thing I can think of mentioning is to create a mask for where you want the color to only apply to.

it’s okay, I figured it out :-)

just messed around with the locking transparency option, and got it working, still find it sort of difficult to paint on the brushes I create..

actually, I’m still sort of having the problem…

What I want to do is paint on ONE area, and I have it figured out so that I can paint on just the object so that even if I go beyond where I want to paint it doesn’t go on to the background…since it’s transparency aware I guess you would call it.

But here’s the thing.. I don’t want to just have to paint one one layer, and make a bunch of changes. I would like to paint on multiple layers…that way if I want to delete something I did a while back, I can just delete the layer that I want to make the change.

The only problem is that I can do this and NOT end up painting beyond the object ONLY if I duplicate the layer, but if I want to do like 30 different changes, it would mean that I COULD, but duplicating the layer 30 times is just going to make everything super dark after a while..

i don’t know, this is the only way I can explain it. might have to make a video.

Create a new group (layers folder). Place all of the layers in the group. Click on the group. Choose Layer -> Layer Mask -> Reveal All. Create your mask.
