Your very welcome. It turned out wonderful! :bow:

newp...I never "delete" anything. I add a layer mask. Adding a layer mask lets you paint out what you don't want...so if you screw up and don't realize that you deleted something you need, you can't get it back unless it's in the history. With Layer Masks, you just use black and white...Black means delete, white means bring back..you can never accidentally delete something you may need later. Layer masks are the way to go..no doubt about it.;)

of course, that's "my way"...in Photoshop, there are 10 ways to do the same thing...preference is what it comes down to :gj:

bah i never use layer masks. i always make a copy of it and just hide it to the bottom.
i was wondering why something would change color when it looked like you were deleting- i thought you were going into a different layer accidentally :P

i'll have to try that masking idea though, might save me some time.

What I always do is create a layer below it that's a totally off the wall color....bight red (in this case), or bright blue or bright green..that lets me know that the layer i'm working on with the mask is doing what it should be doing. If i see a color that is not red, then that means something isn't right.

It will save you a ton of time..I promise ...I've tried your method before ;)

usually i just make copies if its a big base change in the image- like the original and for when i take the image into another direction (exposures contrasts, etc. i keep a copy of the raw image also and save as i get to cutting. though, most of that involves me cutting x and placing it into y. i cant really recall deleting something other than not saving a big copy of the entire image & running out of history. but i'm sure i'll defiantly find a use for it once i try it a few times, it never fails.

damn that was awesome to watch...I wish I could put it in my sig...

Hey Nate, how does my dumb arse get one of those on my sig?
