1 :<\/strong>Find a Paper and a Mask you want to use and open both in psp You Can use a Solid Color or Gradient or a Pattern or paper the steps are the same..<\/p>\n

2:<\/strong> open a new screen\/ to the size you want I usually do mine around 800\u00d7800 and resize later if needed
Note ***
you will not need a white background when you save the tag or image but you need one to see better what is happening while making the mask<\/p>\n

3 :<\/strong> Make sure you are on the first layer in your layer pallet fill with white and name it Background<\/p>\n

4:<\/strong> Go the Paper you just open in step 1 you want to go Selection \/Select All \/ Go to Edit and press Copy<\/p>\n

5:<\/strong>Go back to the other screen you just made in your layer palette make sure you are on the first layer if not click on the layer and highlight it
While you are on the first layer go to Edit \/ Paste as a New Layer rename the layer to Mask
you should have two layers the first white the second your paper like my photo ( click to view larger)<\/p>\n

\"mask<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6: : Make sure you are on the Mask layer ( second one that has the paper if not click on it and it should be highlighted )
7: Look to see what your mask s name is( that you have open before ) you will need to know its name for step 8
8: Go to Layers \/ New Mask Layer \/ Pick From Image
A popup box will appear in the drop down pick the name of your mask and make sure under
Create Mask From:<\/strong>
Make Sure Source Luminescence is Checked & Make sure Invert Mask Data is checked marked and press ok ( see picture click to view larger)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"mask<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

you should see that you will have the mask with the paper on it  just  like  mine \"mask<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9::In your layer pallet you should see a layer with yout mask on it like mine it should say Mask and it should look like mine below ( see picture )<\/p>\n

\"mask4\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can delete the white background layer now If You Want<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:: Right click on the mask layer that is shown above picture and Press Merge \/ Merge Group some people delete the mask after it is made I don\u2019t I merge the mask and paper together<\/p>\n

and you have your mask with paper you should have something like mine<\/p>\n

\"mask<\/a><\/p>\n

You are finished with the mask continue with the tag add your tubes , decoration , text or what ever you want<\/p>\n\n\n\n
