Free photo clipping mask

So we are on day 4 of Jessica Spraque's free photo editing class. Today she is explaining how to use a photo clipping mask. I gave a clipping mask away a while back, but while making the first one I had made 4 different versions. Here is an example of #2.

mask #2

I just love clipping mask. I always tend to add a small bevel to mine, changing my bevel to size 1.
If I have a paper or light background, I will also add a slight drop shadow. Together they tend to add a nice effect. So for your download pleasure... I give you my second mask. Have Fun!!
If you scroll down a bit to the first one. I have directions posted on how to use it.

Have you subscribed today??
sorry, time is up

Happy Thursday!

Kim, thanks for the download. I found you on the JS class forums. Love your blog, I'm def bookmarking it. By the way, I see you're from Lafayette! I'm originally from the Baton Rouge area but moved up north a few years ago. I miss it lots, but I hear it's been really hot and dry down there.

Found your blog on JS forums. Wow!! I'm amazed by your stuff. I will have to spend a lot of time here reading your archives. You have shared so much! I have a quick question, though. I saw a post about downloading textures from a flickr site. I'm not that computer savvy. Do you have to download the textures one photo at a time? Or is there a way to do all of them at once into a folder? Thanks! I appreciate all you have shared.

Janna.... yes you have to do them one at a time. Download the ones you like to your desktop. Then create a new folder for your textures. Open it and drag your downloaded textures in the folder.

Remember to leave him a thank you. =)

Kimi,

Thanks for the share, your mask is neat! How do you make them? Or is that a question for the Sprague website. I am new here also.

Thanks so much for the mask. I, too, just found you on the JS forums and have subscribed. I've no doubt that your generosity and talent will find its way around the Digital Scrapbooking community. I hope it turns your blog into the empire that the Spraground has become! Lots of luck!

Janna said…
Thanks for answering my questions. And thank you for the mask download. I think I'm starting to get how masks work, so now I'm going to download yours and see what I can do with it. Thanks again. I really appreciate that you took the time to answer my questions and all the time you have put into your blog. It has obviously taken you a very, very long time to share this with everyone else.

krista.... it should be black?
but the color of a mask does not matter because you are clipping it to your image, it becomes the color of you image. Does that make sense? The color you have under it will be your extra color. Scroll down to my first mask post, I have a screen shot.

Michelle, yes the first mask has expired. I love sharing with my subscribers but when the freebie sites find me and start sending the entire internet over, I take down the link. Normally I will leave a freebie link up for 24 hours. I am leaving the mask link up a little longer and the link to the pink papers are still active. Hopefully you subscribed so you don't miss anything in the future. :)

Janna... I always try and find time to answer questions. you are most welcome!

Kimi, thank you so much for sharing this awesoe mask! I love the way it looks on your picture.
When I tried using it, the edge is white though. I'd love for it to looks black like your water lily photo. Is that like an optional thing to change?

I love your site!!

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 m...
