Masking An Image

[bazzah]

Just copy and paste it Deselect all the layers you dont want copied (ie the background) and CTRL+SHIFT+C to copy all. Or, you could save it as a png24 file with a transparent background

I just copy the entire layer over with the mask intact and then make changes to the mask as needed. If anyone does it different please post, I'd like to learn all the time

Or yeah, drag and drop the masked layer would be the best way, so you can preserve the mask for future adjustments

Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll be getting to this process this weekend/next week. The wife is going away for work for the week, so I should have some time to actually make a cover again. Thanks again for those tips. I have such great ideas in my head, but then when I try and actually make the cover I fall way short every time. I have some good ideas, just not the techniques to do them....lol...
