Design a Photo Mask Using Photoshop Elements 6.0
1. Start with a New File. I made mine 6 inches in width and 6 inches in height with a 300 resolution. Make the background transparent.





5. Pick a circle shape that you like and add it to the top of your rectangle.
6. Keep adding random circles to the top and bottom of your rectangle. Simplify each layer. When you are done, it should look something like this.

Thank you for another great tutorial and thank you so much for making a pdf file to download.
Hi Barbara - You are the natural teacher! It is ironic - I know these tings, but just have not totally connected it to designing. I have created name masks... and they are fun. For now I will just play with the stuff from others. Actually, I won't even get to much of that. I have quite a task still at hand... so it is back to Photoshop, Creative Memories, & Inkubook for me!!!! Wish me luck. My pages should be getting less labor intense soon. The ancestor ones take a really long time.
It is supposed to be nice for a few more days... we may even get to BBQ - me... it is the computer... but I do take breaks to enjoy the sunshine.
Big "sunny" hugs!!!

Thank you so much for the tutorial!! I'm not a designer, so it's great to learn 'how did they do that?'. Can't wait to try it out. And thank you so very much for taking the time to make a pdf file!! Hugs!
I liked the tutorial, I do wonder though? Why do you simplify it? Do you have to?
Thanks for the tutorial! I really appreciate it!!!! I bookmarked it to come back and try it soon!!! :-)
Thanks for showing us this! I have wanted to know for a long time =) Again, thank you!

Thank you for the great tutorial. It is always such a welcome relief when I see a tutorial for PSE 6. Thanks also for the pdf file.

Yes, I learned very much! Thank you!
How did you know that I've been fighting with my computer all day trying to teach myself how to make these masks. I decided to take a break and check out CBH's freebie finds and here you are, a life saver.
Thank you!!!
