Mask - from image

   If you have a mask you plan on using and want to keep your mask folder un cluttered....this is how I do it.

I open the mask I want in PSP....I add the paper

Go to "layers"/new mask layer/from image/make sure your "invert mask" is not checked/hit ok/merge group

*** If your mask looks like the following, when you want to use this, follow the same steps EXCEPT make sure "invert mask" is checked

Hope this answers your questions...thanks
