There’s certainly a lot to learn about this issue. I really like all the points you have made.

Hey, really nice tuto!!!!
But too hard for me, could you let me the .psd by mail? :$
Thanks you very much
-
I should qualify that. Creating a shape in CC creates a vector mask on the Paths tab, just not on the Layers tab as you tutorial shows. I thought that was kind of curious.
-
Thanks so much for this. Crystal clear. Loved it. Photoshop CC is behaving differently for me though. When I create a Shape, a vector mask isn’t automatically created with it. Hmmm…??? I did the whole thing with layer masks though with no problem. Thanks again :))

-

-
thanks body i have lerned so mush things

The pathing is not mentioned nor being directed and probably its scrambled. I know this is not easy to process, but atleast consider the “detail by detail” rule in terms of making tutorials. But atleast you made it shorter so thank you!
-
I love this tutorial but I always have trouble with step 24. I have done it a few times, but it always takes me a good chunk of time to do it. When I do the alt+delete it either turns it white or the color of the shape.
Anyway you can go into a little more detail on that step?
-
It simple add me on bbm 2861821c and i will tell u the majic about this

-
Yes, I agree with the above comment. Smaller steps get skipped like “how to make a pattern” and the layer mask steps are very confusing.
-
This tutorial is awful, I’m going crazy trying to figure it out.
-
Actually, this tutorial is wonderful if you’ve got some graphic design background. If you have trouble understanding it, just google it. That’s what I did. I never used masks before and with a few google searches this project came out great. Love it!
