Hi
Hope you can help. I am a relative virgin at Photoshop and am using the in-built tutorials to help. I am currently on "Creating an image using layers".
I have followed the instructions so far but when it comes to "Apply a layer mask" I cannot get it to work as per the tutorial.
I have converted the background to a layer as instructed, then used the Ellipse Tool to create a circle. This produces a solid black circle. Then I have clicked "add layer mask".
This produces another, what looks like a layer, in the layers window.
In the picture on the tutorial it shows the mask linked to the image, all in one line.
I am sure it is something straight forward but I would be really grateful if someone can help.
Thanks in advance.
Chris
