I found a really good tutorial on combining two images at www.jasc.com <http://www.jasc.com/> in the PSP tutorial section. I did it with a demo
version of PSP and it was easy.

The problem is I can’t apply it to Photoshop because the commands are different.

Take a look at it

I can match up through step 14 with no problem. Step 15 has me stumped.
Photoshop doesn’t have a command like

Layer>New Mask Layer>From Image

So does anyone know what the equivalent steps would be for steps 15 through
17?

Hi Dave,

I have not read the tutorial you are speaking of, but I may be able to help you here. When the tutorial said "Layer>New Mask Layer>From Image" it was simply saying make a selection from the image and place that on a new layer. To try and explain that better, if you have your background layer and then place a circle on a layer above it, the circle at this point in time is the image. Pressing "Layer>New Mask Layer>From Image" will create a new layer with a selection on it the shape of that circle. ie. it has created a selection from the outline of the circle and placed it on a new layer.
PSP refers to mask, but selection and mask are just opposites. If you make a selection, the editable area is the selection, the protected area is the mask.
Hope this helps, I found it a little difficult to express what I was thinking.

Brian.

I forgot to mention, Dave, in PS the selection/mask applies to all layers, so there is no need to have a layer with a selection/mask on it anyway.
