hmmm, i've always had bother with masks, i followed all the steps, but the visable parts in your icon are the ones covered by the mask(brush) in mine, am i doing something wrong which is hideously obvious?

[dreamydaydream]

Mmmkay..so which program do you use?

I'll try to explain XD.

i think i've got it. do u need to invert the mask layer? cos thats whats working for me, but I still dont think Ive got it right. i use PS7

[dreamydaydream]

Huh strange. Everything's inverted for you, then.
For me, you don't have to invert it cuz black's invisible...but sounds like for you that white is invisible.

Strange..indeed.
