    Something is wrong with this Movie it only down loads 1.8 mbs and stops I have tried 4 times and it does the same thing. The movie plays a little and stops it is like it did not record from a point on to the end.

    Very cool effect! I never tried with the 50% gray on a layer. Thanks!

      Yep… this is PSE version of a mask. Those tips make the subscription to PSEU worth the price.

    I am having trouble viewing all the videos on this site. They play to a certain point and then stop. I have tried opening a new window and downloading them. Can anyone help me?
