Using Masks in Photo Shop Elements 11



You don't need to spend months learning PSE 11 in order to use masks. We have an easy tutorial which shows you how to create a background with photo, mask and paper. You can then continue to embellish it in PSE 11 or save it and bring it into Memory Mixer/My Memories as a background.

NOTE: Do NOT miss any steps! Instructions are written for PSE 11. You might glean what you need for earlier versions of PSE. If you would like instructions for using masks in Paint Shop Pro (PSP X4 and above) that tutorial is HERE.

Here's the page I made:

 I used Jasmin Olya's Dreaming of the Sea kit and pre-made clusters.

How to do it ...

CLICK HERE for the tutorial pages. Click on the first image to make it fill the screen then use the arrows at the side to work your way through the tutorial.

Show us what you've made on Digi Scrapping Divas and ask if you get stuck!

Since I couldn't leave it alone I made a different version of the page with the same kit:
