| This final part will get you started on applying some cool effects to your masked images. Where you go and how you use these techniques is only limited by your imagination. |

Mask R07, resized a tiny bit and centered. Right click/invert. Effect/Fills and Textures/Texture Filter, Creased Paper (last choice) Edge Roughness 85, all other settings unchanged.

 If you are doing this tutorial for The Beginner's Workshop, let us see what background effect you can come up with. (Please also save your original image, no larger than 250 pixels in width so we may compare). We'd love to know what steps you took to arrive at your final image too :) Thank you for sticking with me all the way to the end....I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. |

First off... duplicate the original twice and then close out the original. Go through your masking steps. On the shadow use the all around shadow and change the transparency to 10 or lower. Then select the airbrush/black/20/POE Go to the 2nd duplicate and Photo/Blur/Gaussian and pick the one that you like best. Drag your mask onto it Align/Center Both Merge all/All/Border/10/Inward/Box
