Ahoy there! Today's new goodies will be coming from the newest release in my shop COLOR COLLECTION ~ TEAL
A nice ocean/beach-y themed kit, and to start it off, I have made for you a mask with an overlay :) woo hoo!
For those who are not used to using these, you just simply place your photo over top of the black mask, merge it down onto the mask, then drop the overlay onto the top, I know the steps are the same pretty much in all programs, I use Photoshop, for me, I just use CTRL+ALT+G and it merges my photo onto the mask, just make sure you are on the photo layer when you do it
LAYER 1 MASK
LAYER 2 WOULD BE YOUR PHOTO MERGED DOWN
LAYER 3 OVERLAY
FINISHED PRODUCT
When you are happy with what you have created, remember to save it as PNG file :)
You can do so much with masks, they are a ton of fun to play with and use, I tend to use them if I want a photo inserted on a page and I am not so pleased with the excess of the photo, or occasionally there are people/objects in the background of a photo that I wish to eliminate
Here it is, I overlaid other scrolls and items on the page to give it some movement, you can do soo much with masks and layering, I hope you try it out!
This new kit COLOR COLLECTION ~ TEAL is in the Etsy shop as well as others, the links to the shop and the link to the free for server use kits are on the right sidebar where they always hang out :)
Thanks so much for your Freebies, up until recently, I was using Paint Shop Pro but decided since I love doing this so much I would go to PhotoSHop as I have heard alot of good things! I also love using masks for all sorts of things. Hugs Sandie from New Hampshire USA
ReplyDeleteSandie, I have never used PSP but a few of my friends do and love it, however I am still using my Photo Shop 7, I LOVE it, as long as I can use it I will, I do have the new version and play with it, but keep going back to what I am comfortable with, Good Luck! and I too, love masks!
