Words cannot express my excitement as I just did this technique on some Halloween pictures of my grandkids. Thank you so much for this great tip. I have printed it off and will be using it all the time.

I downloaded the layer mask and instructions, so I’m assuming it will work just fine.

If that article doesn’t help I can fool around in PSE later and see about how to do it there.

hmmm…great question! I did a Google search and found this article – see if this works? It looks like a pretty simple trick! there’s also a link to a tool you can download to try that simulates layer masks in PSE.

Beckie,can you add any info on how to do this in Elements? I can do most of what I need to in Elements so I’ve never seen a reason to purchase the full blown Photoshop.
