We recently purchased CS6 for our computers and would like to know if you have a magazine such as Photo Elements for CS6? We purchased Scott Kelby’s book but love your articles.

No, we don’t cover Photoshop CS6 in our materials, Howard. You can check the folks over at photoshopuser.com, though. They do a magazine, although it’s a bit different than ours in approach.

Rick and Howard i have cs5 but i learn so much from the PET magazine. I will never give up my PET magazine voluntarily. This article itself has taught me a new way to do things. Love it.

I love this effect. I have created two pictures which I am going to post on my blog.
I also just love that you give step by step instructions which makes it easy to follow along.
Love PhotoShop Elements and PET mag. Keep up the good work.

Just for the record, the video opens as and saves as ‘Experimenting with Blend Modes’ not Layer Masks!!

As an ‘experienced beginner’ I found this tut to be way over my head; both in concept and application.
