    Hi Jen, I don’t see all the masks used in this tutorial is not added in the download. I only see in the tutorial. I love all tutorials.

      I’m happy to help, Radha. In the blogpost, click on the download link above the video. Unzip the folder. The layered PSD document is in the folder. That document is the one I’m using in the tutorial. Does that help?

    Can you turn a mask into a smart object? I can see there might be an issue with pixelating if the mask is resized a number of times for different pages. What I meant to ask is , “Can you turn a layer mask into smart object?” I know I can turn a mask into one.

      Great question, Jane.
      No, you cannot turn a layer mask into a smart object. But I can see what you are saying. You are afraid your crisp lines will pixelate. I don’t that that will be a problem unless you transform the mask many, many times. Simply changing the size of it many times before committing the change will not pixelate it. Does that help?
