# Another Arty landscape

# woo, but:
TJ: My mate James uses PS Elements a lot. He uses layer masks in conjunction with the 'selection brush'.

What is this 'selection brush' and what is it's equivilent in CS2?

# I'm not really sure so sorry I can't be much help
Even though I use cs2, I'm not sure what the 'selection brush' is.

# No, I use CS2,
he uses the 'selection brush' in elements.

I can't find anything which makes him happy.

if he adds a mask ( bottom of the layers pallette ) then paints over his area he does NOT want selected with black ( and if he paints too much, painting back over in white will reveal it again ) he can achieve the same thing.

# Good golly, either you're very wrong...
Or I am not Lord Manley of Ven but a mere imposter hiding behind the anonymity of his interwebs.

# eh?
it's the simplest of things. Add a vector mask. Select it, paint in black. Everything in black is masked out. Paint in white and it becomes part of the image again ( i.e. removed from the mask ) finish brushing your masked area and magig wand it.
It's tattyshop basics. Google layer or vector masking.

I really am not Lord Manley. He has gone to put the little Manleys to bed, and left his 'pooter in my vile and evil hands. Mwahaha.

Which, since it stopped him blathering on about Exeter City's game today was a blessed relief.

# Could it be
the quick mask thingy?

Under the colour selection in the main tool bar there are two rectangles with circles in. You can use those to 'paint' your selection area with the normal drawing tools.

You can also use filters on it too, to blur the edges for example.

# there is no equivalent as far
as my limited knowledge goes. It seems to be a halfwits way of masking.

Tattyshop masking is simple enough without kiddies stabilizers to help you.

# Long story
Involving Filters, layers, vectors and blurs
(I helped save b3ta! Drunken Vet, Sat 18 Mar 2006, 20:38, archived)
# cutout filter, raise the levels.
then paint daubs, fade to about 30% then gaussian blur .5 or 1 pixel should just about do it in less than 2 minutes.

# This.
I couldn't just do it, but I thought it must be something this easy.

# It is actually a bit more complicated then that
(I helped save b3ta! Drunken Vet, Sat 18 Mar 2006, 20:50, archived)
# it might be the way that you do it but in all honesty that's all it takes
just being honest. Also I don't like people being secretive. Sharing technique is a good thing. I do it all the time and the day crew slaughter me for revealing my 'magic' but if I can do it then anyone can so it's good to share.
(I helped save b3ta! Zoot Cadillac . do androids dream of electric sheep?, Sat 18 Mar 2006, 20:52, archived)
# Ok maybe I'm just doing it in a more complicated way
The way I do it takes about 20/30 mins (not from a tutorial)
(I helped save b3ta! Drunken Vet, Sat 18 Mar 2006, 20:56, archived)
# then write a tutorial
because it's satisfying when people want to copy what you do and you can help them.
For instance. I developed a way of painting in tattyshop ( more by accident than design ) and pepole wanted to know how I did it. Some because they wanted to do it and some because they thought it must be filters. Well no filters and I wrote a tutorial for it. People like the sharing, it gets you offers of cake.

# An admirable stance
if you don't mind me saying so
(I helped save b3ta! edjogs Collared doves are shit., Sat 18 Mar 2006, 21:07, archived)
# cheers.
When I draw something ( not often, but it happens ) then I can't really teach that, but as for other techniques that rely on knowledge of tattyshop tools rather than innate talent then why keep it to yourself? I'm not better than anyone else because I found a shithot way of making images. I'm all for sharing and free love. Oh and Terry's chocolate oranges.
Less tan 12 months ago I did not have a clue what photoshop did. I used Paint Shop Pro 8. I could not even figure out how to paste a new image in tattyshop. All I have done since then is fill my spare time ( and I have a lot ) with tutorials. I've always been a sponge for learning and as such I've got a bit better at stuff and if I can share that I will.
