First I'm not some kind of exper for photoshop! I like to put in my picture another picture to be like Lyer, then I go to Layer - Layer Mask - Reveal all... to wipe things I don't want with brush... But I click Alt key and Eyedropper tool appeared with circle and no it not working and I clicked... I don't know how to bring it back... Foreground color and Background color I don't understend that if that is the problem..
You need to click on the white and black mask rectangle on that layer. It will have a link right in front of the rectangle. That rectangle gives you a preview of what you have revealed in white and whats not in black. Looks like a thumbnail of your mask. That will bring it back

I got a RGB332 LCD and a poor MCU to drive it . The MCU do not have a hardware accelerator nor do RGB332 display support an alpha path.
So I used the color "black" as a "alpha color" to deal with icon paste work.Which means I fill the icon color data to background buffer while the data is not black.
The problem I meet is that the icon showed it's own antialiased edge while the background is not black. And the "antialiased edge" just makes an edge effect from the background.
Is there any way to deal with the situation ?
The main problem is that I don't have "Layer" and "Alpha" to do the PS-like merge work.
But the Icons are Pasted to a Frame buffer one by one.
So my solution is :
When each icon is being pasted,I could decide the front/background,
which means I could detect the "antialiased edge" of the icons just
like I have "layers".
After I find the antialiased edges ,I filled the pixels with the
middle color of the front/background.
The LCD is RGB332,and the middle color calculation is just filling
the edge with 75% background color + 25% front color. If the icon
color is carefully designed, you don't even need a float calculation
.
The work maybe not that effective ,but really solved my problem.
I have a question in corona sdk. I need to fade top part of an object (like 60px of 250px) when moving the object to top before it goes out of the screen.
In another word, I need to set a display area for an image or object which its height is more than screen height. Like a top padding space which image will be faded when moving out of the display area (not the screen area)
Any tutorial or suggestion?
Sounds like image masks are exactly what you need.
In your case you would need to set the mask when moving the object to top, unset it when it comes back.
You can check the documentation for masks here:

I downloaded a icon, and now i want to reset the color of it, but i'm not good at photoshop, i've set the color of it to be red, but there are to many edges and corners, please tell me how to remove those edges by using photoshop step by step, thanks a lot.
here is the icon i downloaded:
and this is my ugly one:
The best way to alter a single color like this on a simple image such as this is to alter the Hue and Saturation [CTRL / CMD + U]...
This allows you greater color control and keeps the anti-aliased edges of the image intact.
Most beginners alter colors like this by simply selecting the color with the wand, or using the paint bucket on the color. Unfortunately this usually does one of 2 things:
Makes the ragged edges that you saw.
Leaves a halo of the old color as an orphan.
I did this in a few seconds with that tool:
I have a website with some text on the body and a fixed menu bar on top.
I want the text to 'fade-out' as you scroll, instead of disappearing behind other element.
My website's background is grey, so II made a gradient that goes from grey to transparent.
It works great, except that you can sort of tell that there's a grey band across the website.
Notice the band (starting right above the red arrow) on this screen I printed
Why does irt show an off color?
I know about PNG gamma correction, but this is not it, I have removed the gAMA part, I have also tried "fine-tuning" it, nothing will work. (I know I am doing this right because I tried it on a solid PNG, stripped the gamma data, and it perfectly matches the CSS background).
Any ideas on how I can achieve this?! (I can use any other method, doesn't need to be a PNG gradient, but I do need it to be a fade-out).
Make a gradient from opaque gray to transparent white.
I created a CTreeCtrl but I need to mark some of the items in red colored hollow box.
So I created the function OnCustomDraw and drew a red colour box around the item. The red box is appearing but the text part and image parts are drawn on top of the red box so some part of the box cannot be seen. I guess the default painting is overriding my painting. Can anyone tell me how my painting will be over the default painting.
I assume you should be painting on the correct stage. CDDS_ITEMPOSTPAINT seems to be a good choice. Here you would find more information on that.
You should insert an item (your draw possibly as a bitmap and your text as well) instead of updating just your draw.
