ok I have worked out what is needed.. you need to simplify the top layer before you can blend it with the Adjustment leyer- if you are using Photoshop 6.
Great video but it fails to mention that simple fact
can anyone help me please I just cant link the top layer with the adjustment layer. CTRL G does not work, ALT and clicking does not work and even using LAYERS on the top menue-the Grouping option is garyed out? what am i doing wrong? :-(
I really like your way of explaining things, natator64! You make it simple to follow and your explanations are easy to understand - also for those with a different language- background than English.
Thank's a lot for your effort. I just grasped the basics of Layer Mask - Thank's to you!
DD: thank you so much for this! it was extremely helpful, and you made it really simple to understand. I've been trying to find a replacement for layer masks for forever. you're a life saver.
I'm a PSD user and just came round to teach my Mum Elements and I was madly looking for layer masks. I'm ...gobsmacked! There are layermasks for adjustment layers but not for layers.. My mum will be confused by this workaround for sure - and she just bought Elements 8!!!!
Nevertheless - Great tip, I wouldn't have figured it out myself!!
hi, simon. thanks for this helpful video. i've also been trying, with no luck, to use the gradient tool on a layer mask, in pse 6. the brush tool works fine for masking, but when i draw the gradient line on the layer grouped with the mask, nothing happens. the mask thumbnail stays all white and no part of the underlying layer is revealed. thanks in advance for any suggestions!
just to clarify one point: i selected the mask itself before trying to use the gradient tool. my question sounded like i had selected the layer above the mask rather than the mask. sorry!
I'm trying to get a heap more done but with a 2 year old bidding for my attention and we have a baby due in a few weeks they are not happening as fast as I would like ;)
Glad I could help esk :)

Everything goes very well until the last part, where I am unable to change the brush to black. I click on black but it remains white.
