Answering questions & another mask
If you have a rar. folder that you need to unzip. You can download a free trial of winRAR here. CNet has a very good record of safe downloads. It is a 40 day free trial. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it worked great. When your 40 days are up, you can uninstall it from your computer and be back to normal.
Next... If you come to a texture that is just an image such as the Antique1 texture. Right click and copy it. This will copy the image to your computers clipboard. Open CS or Elements. Hit Ctrl N for a new document. Your computer will remember the copied size and make a new document to fit it. Once your new blank document is opened. Hit Ctrl V, this paste your image into the document. Now save in your texture folder.
Another thing; if you watch the video but you are working in Elements and don't have a layer mask button. Do This. Open a new levels adjustment layer. Click ok without making any changes. This now gives you a layer mask to paint on. Click on your mask to make sure it is activated and paint away. Or you can always use the blur method I mentioned in another post. Truthfully that is my favorite because then I can decide how much I need to blur. I like the control. :)
I made a few more clipping mask. Here is an example of what today's mask looks like.
You can download it here. sorry, time is up

Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and work.
Any chance that you might, in the future, do a tutorial on how you go about creating your masks?

I'm loving the masks and textures you've kindly made available to us newbies - thanks.

Also, I want to add that there is a program called Unzip Them All and if you google it you will find it. It is comletely free and will unzip rar and zip. Plus, it can do a whole entire folder for you so you do not have to individually unzip each one. Hope you like it.
Have a great weekend sweetie and thank you so much.
Hugs,

I will leave the link up until later this afternoon.
Enjoy!!

Congratulations on the gorgeous photograph of your daughter in the PET Magazine.
Second, I am a subscriber to your blog, but I haven't been getting your emails lately and only find out about your freebies by reading your posts at the Spraground... I just saw your "Photo Mask #5" post this morning and went to check it out right away - when I clicked on the link, a message came up that the file is empty, so I guess I missed the deadline again. This happened for mask #4, as well.
I will keep trying to see your posts in a timely manner - thanks again :)

If you are not getting the e-mails you may want to subscribe again. All of the downloads this morning were taken, so I uploaded again. I hope you got #5 ok?
Your stuff is so beautiful! Thanks!
It is the "blur method"
the instructions are posted a few post down. The one with my daughter Holly.
I am taking the JS class also and I am new to photoshop and all of these downloads etc. and while I think I've been doing pretty well, I do run into things I can't figure out. I've tried to download these textures, but after downloading them it says..."Windows cannot open this file. To open this file windows needs to know what program created it."
I read what you wrote about saving to my clipboard, but honestly I can't even find a clipboard on my computer! Feeling very stupid right now! :( I really want to download the Antique1 especially....I absolutely love it! Please help me!
Go back and read the part of the post that starts with "Next".
Your clipboard isn't something your really see. It is just there. When you see the large copy of the Antigue1 image, you will right click and pick copy. The rest of the directions are in the post.
The other part of your question. You may have downloaded a RAR. file. I gave the site to get a free program. But it may be something simple... right click on the object on your desktop. Choose "Open with" now pick your software. See if that will open it? then you just save it in your folder from there. :)
This mask is great! Thanks for sharing your talent!
