Post by: Firefly on July 06, 2005, 12:48:28 AM: That didnt work.
So, I've done all brushing and put the render there
(http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/1566/example3qx.png)
I choose the area I want to show with the lasso
(http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/3908/example25zn.png)
Then I press the layer mask button
(http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/645/example33za.png)
It doesn't fade like yours, it just cuts the area around the selection.

Post by: Corporal on July 14, 2005, 04:48:44 AM: [span style=\'color:green\']I think the idea of making a whole section dedicated to tutorials would be fantastic. I don't even have photoshope (deliberate misspelling there due to private joke between myself and Lethalboy44) anymore, I couldn't do it and got angry and deleted it, but with tutorials like these, I think I could really get into enjoying it and having fun with designing things, and my friends wouldn't all laugh at me for being a crappy artist - type - person.
