    Thanks guys. After watching the video i realized how important it could be to have a colored layer (orange) to be able to see visually what was happening with the slider. I think initially a big problem for me was that the white background was confusing. SO I airbrushed a green layer to match...

    Quick select tool, i kind of selected around the outside blackest edge, Im trying to get the white to go transparent and i thought i would have to do this by making a mask.

    OK after I painted the filmstrip with orange type as shown above I decided I liked it much better than the original so I tried using it.

    Thanks IamSam. I really liked the photo cafe video (2nd one down). It allowed me to create my first decent mask you can see the new butterfly on flower and it only took a few hours :-) lmao. Anyway I tried to merge it into bird man and you can see where it ended up, when I try to drag it into...
