[Award Winner] My atlas style in PS

I think I know what happened but I need a screenshot to be sure. Make sure the layers palette is visible. My guess is that you have not deleted the black on the "base" layer but I want the screenshot to be sure.

Ok, thanks for the quick response =D Here's the screenshot you asked for. (I've done up to step 20 here)
Note that I've linked the "base layer" with the "ocean copy 2" layer that I got due to what was written in steps 8. and 10.

(btw other than those little snags, I think it's an awesome tut )

Yep, your base layer is completely filled. You missed a step somewhere, 11 I think. Click on the base layer. Select - color range = black with a fuzziness of anything. Hit the delete key and deselect (ctrl-d).

I did exactly that.
Or do you mean that I have to select "black" in the same selection screen as where I selected "fuzziness" ? Because that was not possible. I just assumed that I should have black as my chosen colour so that I could paint black with a brush.

Can I simply go back to step 11 and edit there or do I have to do everything from 11 to 20 again?

thanks for the help.

Select - color range uses the foreground color as a default, no choosing something different once the screen is open. My previous post is all you need to do then once that's done go back and continue at step 21.

Very nice style and the tutorial looks good to

Huh. It still says "Warning: No pixles were selected" when I ctrl-click on the base layer in the layer palette. I've tried several times.

Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be because I'm using Cs4?

;_;

You have to delete the blacks first, that will leave you with the solid white landmasses. Click on the base layer to make it active. Select - color range = black. Hit the delete key on your keyboard then deselect (ctrl-d).

That's exactly what I did

The previous screenshot shows black in the thumbnail on the base layer. Show me another screenshot I guess.
