Is there a way in C1 to create a layer that is an inverted selection of another layer?
I am using the latest version.
-
Three steps
Create new layer,
Copy mask from different layer
Invert mask.
So if I want to do this from layer 3:
Create new layer 4.
On new layer 4 right click and select "copy mask from layer (select layer 3 in this case)"
Once copied to layer 4, right click and select invert layer.
This is now I do it, there are probably ways to do via keyboard shortcuts, however I rarely use them.

Hi Joe,
I'm not exactly sure what you want to achieve, but as Paul explained one can invert a Mask that is a duplicate of another layer. One can also invert a layer itself, by flipping the Curve adjustment's white and Black points from minimum/maximum to maximum/minimum, and apply a duplicate mask on that.
Hope that helps,
Bart

Thanks.
I am editing a bottle shot and I want to edit the background and surface separate from the bottle. Since I want to incorporate some clipping of the histogram on the background, I cant perform this in the entire image.

Paul's answer is correct - I do exactly thht almost everyday. If you already have a layer with just the bottle or just the background, create a new layer, then right click on it and select Copy Mask From and select the previous layer. Now right click again and select invert mask.

Is there a way to blur parts of the image in C1?

Create a mask of the area you want blurred and then take the clarity slider and drag it to the left. You can get a little more blurring by also draging the structure slider to the left. If you want to blur even more, just duplicate the layer and do it again.
