    Hi Corey, must say my initial reaction to this tutorial was one of total annoyance, WHY, OH WHY, had I not found this sooner! You explain every move simply, and without any fuss or technical jargon. I found this brilliant, and will be tuning in for more tutorials in future.

    Cheers

    Thank you! This video tutorial is great! I am a Graphic Arts Instructor and I use your site all the time! This correlates with my lessons on “masking” this week. Do you have the step by step written directions for this particular tutorial?
