Mask Tutorial 2

Overlays 2 - advanced overlay

For this tutorial I will show you another way of making an overlay using two colours.

This way will give you more choices when it comes to blending the two layers together

1 Open a new image I’m going to size mine at 800 x800 which would be a good size for a background paper for a tag or taggers kit

2 Flood fill with a light grey colour I used the one that is two up from the white in the materials palette

3 New layer, flood fill with black

4 Apply a mask the same as we did in tutorial one

5 Delete the Mask and merge your layers

6 New layer, flood fill with the colour of your choice and move this layer by dragging it below the masked layer

7 Highlight the top layer again and play about with the layer blends till you get an image you like. Notice that this time you get more differences in the way the layers blend

8 Merge your layers and save your image

Heres some blend examples
