Thank you so much for all the video tutorials on everything, I watched every one of them, but I think either the second or third link on masking would not play. Something about the content being owned by Lynda.com
So, with that being said, I do understand masks a whole lot better, and grasp the concept. I also now understand what you are wanting me to do when it comes to using the marquis tool and masking to remove the bottom
portion of the jet.
Here are my first two steps, I've got number one down, but the second step of your process has thrown me off. I've gone back and forth to see your layers palette and mine doesn't look right. When you make a copy of the jet and
then do the path blur, I've "lost" the entire image of the jet, I only see the portion of the jet that I have not masked off. Then when I do the path blur, my "masked" portion gets "blurred" but not the entire jet.
Here are the screen shots.
I apologize for being so clueless about this and I am trying to learn. I'm just one of those who needs, specific instructions, and then I will get it. I guess I need Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc.....versus an outline.
With that being said, I have saved all of these wonderful YouTube tutorials to go back and learn more and more from, can't thank you enough.
