I just got a 30 day evaluation copy of CS2 on Windows Vista after spending years w/ Jasc’s Paint Shop Pro. Now I’m finding it difficult to do my most routine tasks.
I have a Curves Layer on a jpg background. I want to mask out it’s effect on part of the image, so I choose the paint brush, color=black, set the hardness and opacity (100% for right now) adn try to paint on the mask– nothing.
I do a sanity check on the background: nice black streaks. I can use the gradient tool to mask the adjustment later; however, no mater if I use the black brush or white… the effect is still a white brush. This is causing me much confusion.
Thanks,
Nathan
