Thanks for the tutorial. Never even knew that feature existed. I usually just hold down command on the layer I want to turn into a mask to create a selection and click the layer mask icon. This way seems less destructive since you can use vector shapes for the masks.

Love it. Basic enough to learn and apply quickly—even for those of us who’re (still?) using masks.

Keep ‘em coming.

Excellent tip. Thanks from a newbie.

i was wondering how to do that, once i upgraded to CS2. i was so used to CMD+G (which now makes a group out of the selected layers)...

once that didn’t work, i remembered you had a tip regarding clipping masks (that i ignored the first time around, seeing as i thought i knew how to make them).

:D

Damn, hehe. I was doing something completely different to achieve the same affect earlier. Thanks for the lesson.

Oh, yes – look at that! useful. hmm. my words are auto-previewed strange – another thing i havent seen b4. time to open up photoshop and have a play….

best,

That’s fantastic! I’ve been wondering how to do this the easy way!

When designing sites I use multiple clipping masks. Actually I build the majority of the initial design that way. It makes it so easy to make client desired modifications on the spot if need be. I also use the blending options perfusly. At my work, a local television station, I try to avoid using blending options, but if a client wants to change this color hear or there all I have to do is tweak a blending option. Hopefully this can be usefull but I kind of assume that most people use these features already. I appreciate how open you are to the general public about your business and I hope you keep up the good work.
