tsendi Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm trying to add a photo in the transparent snowglobe, but when I clip the photo to the snowglobe the transparency shows through the photo. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Somehow, in the clipping process, the photo gets almost transparent. I'll experiment a bit and see if I can give you some ideas of what to do. Meanwhile someone else might come along with the solution. Also you can send a private message to Syndee (Syndeesaid) and I'm sure she can help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm back with a solution. It's not elegant but it works. Copy the snow globe layer then fill the copy with a light blue color or any color that looks like the edge of the snow globe. (Edit > Fill Layer). Put the filled snow globe layer under your photo and clip the photo to it. Now take the original, transparent, snow globe layer and put that on top of the photo. So you wind up with 3 layers: top: transparent snow globe middle: photo which is clipped to bottom: snow globe that has been filled with color. I hope that works for you!

CRS Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks for this, Diane! I have this set and so far only used the cute embellishments Syndee created! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsendi Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Thanks, Diane. I'll give that a try. I want to put a cute photo of my baby grandson in it. Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsendi Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I tried your method Diane, but now I can't get rid of the blue around the outside of the globe. I've tried the magic wand tool and selected the outside, but I can't delete the blue. I've tried inverting the selection, but that didn't work either. I've tried pressing delete, backspace, but I don't know what else to try. I know it's probably something really simple that I'm doing wrong.

tsendi Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I got it now. I was trying to delete, but I should have been on the blue layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
