Running Preset in Selection?

Is it possible to...

1.Run a preset.

2.Make a selection.

3.Run another preset in that selection?

I want to take an image and start with rough background and move forward, refining it as I go, but being selective where I make changes.

I've looked at the Selection options, but not sure how it works. I tried layers, but no luck?

  • Think I've got it.

    Run Preset

    Make selection

    Tick the Mask Option Box in top tool bar

    Run any other Preset

    The trick is ticking the Mask Box...

    • You can use the cmd y hot key command to turn masking on and off. If reaching for the Mask checkbox in the operation toolbar is slowing you down.

  • You can do what you want to do. Sounds like you figured it out.

    A PASeq always records the mask status when it was run. Whether or not the mask status plays back when the PASeq plays is a function of the Mask Playback parameter in the PASeq Editor.

    If MaskPlayback is off, then you can make a selection, turn on masking, and then have the PASeq preset's effect masked with your current selection.

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor
