Do Layer Masks give you the heebie jeebies?
I know for a fact that many Photoshop & Photoshop Elements users avoid them like the plague.
I believe that is because there are many variables when working with masks, and that makes them look like they have three heads.

Well, my friend, fear not!
With these clear, step-by-step instructions, I'll walk you through layer mask creation in easy-to-understand language. Then we'll use other ordinary tools along with the mask to create an extraordinary overlay.

I promise it won't hurt! Let's get started.

    what a great idea. I have to use the layer mask workaround. Once I have clipped the mask to the wordpaper layer is there anything else that is different for this way of doing things?

      You should have no problem following the tutorial with the workaround, Grace. If you get stumped, feel free to ask questions. :) xoxo
