What's a Swass Mask???

alright.. I've gotten several requests on how to actually USE the Masks... so thought I'd pop in and give a brief "how to".... Basically, in a nutshell, it works just like a template.
(1) You would import a photo (or paper of your choice) and place it ABOVE the mask layer.

(2) With the photo as your active layer - In PSE hit Ctrl+G (Ctrl+Alt+G in PSCS2) and this will clip your photo (or paper) to the mask

(3) Using the move tool, you can manipulate the photo until you are happy with the end result

here's a little visual for ya! (this is a photo of my #2 and #4 Ds - aren't they cute?!)
I hope this helps clear things up for some of you :)
