I know others use masks (which I have not been able to figure out yet!). I use a large fuzzy brush and just play with it until it's faded.sigpic

Yeah, I've tried masks and different mask tuts. They've just not made any sense to me.sigpic

Thank you. I think I had over 50 layers at one point before I started merging the "piles" of pics down. Made keeping things straight very interesting! LOL!sigpic

Great artwork everyone - way too many pages for me to catch up on and comment for. Sadly I was too sick last week to enter something for the cropping challenge - very impressed with what everyone did.

The other thing masks are useful for is to get rid of everything around a selection - you can apply a layer mask - type selection - and it only retains what's selected. Again to make it permanent (and thus be able to drag things around and copy them to other layers/files, you need to apply the layer mask. (of course you can just do this by inverting your selection and pressing delete - there is always more than one way to do everything in GIMP!! )
Is any of that useful?Last edited by ShaViva; 19 September 2011, 04:11 AM.sigpic
