does anyone know how to make a layer mask in photoshop elements 2? cuz i need to for the tutorial but its not working
 
thanks for the tutorial! i havent figured out how to layer mask in photoshop but i also have psp and it seems to be working in that
 
That's a good tutorial Niobe. 🙂

I have never actually used the layer masks - I just erase and manually blend but that way is miles quicker for wallpapers and stuff. Took me couple of mins to realise that you had to 'Apply Layer mask' each time otherwise it will only let you apply the mask once 'lol' I was getting really frustrated and couldn't figure why it wasn't working, then I tried 'Apply layer Mask' after each time and it worked a treat then.

So thanks for that, ::evil2::
 
You guys all seem to use Photoshop! Do none of you use Paintshop Pro? I don't really know anything about brushes... do you get them with paintshop pro?
 
i use psp as well as ps and yeah you can get brushes for it too but its rare. but i think beautiful sin do them all you do is download them into your psp folder there should be on that just says brushes then when you open it up click on the paint brush and there should be a button that says cutom click that and a long list of all your brushes and more pops up and just pick one and there you have a brush

😀 im really glad the tutorial helped im gonna redo it and creat my own little tips site sometime soon so i'll be able to put it all in real detail
 
that's really wierd, 'cause when i click on the link to the totourial it always says 'ERROR'

Am i doing something wrong? ::crying2:
 
Does anyone have some Blend totourials? i have just downloaded PhotoShop CS and want to try to make some blends.

Oh and do you know some sites with BAngel brushes?
 
The number one tip I can give you about blends is feathering, opacity, and layer masks. Just try fiddling around with those. But yeah, i'd be interested too if anyone had an official tutorial.
 
ooo sorry no its not you my server is down its been down for a little while now but they said they would get it back soon. and i'll rewrite it and post it again.
 
ok, I'm really new at this graphics making thing. I've actually never done it before. I just got a demo version of Paintshop Pro and while I have it I wanted to see if I could figure out how to make some banners. I've only got it for a little while before I have to pay so any help I could get quickly would be great!

Ok, I really have no idea even were to start to make a banner. How do you compine all the pictures into one spot? How do you make the banners rectangular? How do you make the pictures all fade into one another so that they look like one picture?

I know this is alot to ask, but any help you could give me would be great! Thanks!
 
you wanna start by checking out the tutorials. one very important thing to learn about is layers which is how you can move each picture independantly and make them fade into each other. you make the banners rectangular by opening a new image (try 500 by 150, its pretty easy) and pasting pictures into it. it can be confusing and frustrating at first, but dont give up, because you'll get better with practice. but mostly read tutorials and learn how to use the tools. if you have any other specific questions, feel free to PM, IM, or email me.
 
Cordelia, do you know of any good sites for PSP8 brushes? I have found a few which are all right, but nothing amazing...Any ideas?
