Guess they have server problems...again When I sent the email, I went to the actual sites and cut and pasted the address. Give it a bit, then try again. --- Patrick Shanahan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > * norman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [11-

Masks give you a lot of control over things, plus, until you apply them, they are non destructive. Here is one tutorial on them : http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Shadows-And-Glows-3-d-Effects-4624-1.html And another : http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/The-Layer-mask-Rendering-Method-1868

I'm trying to learn about layer masks. I'm probably missing something important, but seems to me that one can get the same result with less effort by simply erasing what one does not want in an image, and keeping what is left. Or is there something different achieved by masking? Thanks, Helen, usin
