Hi Mo,
Great tutorial! Thanks for the link.
Hugz,
Kristin
Thanks for this tutorial!
I was just asking at twopeas if anyone knew how to do this as i'd just bought some "laundry edge" masks and wanted to use them - this tutorial worked! BUT the mask is extremely light. Like, barely visible? Would you look at my screenshot and tell me if i did something wrong? My son says "i can see it, mom!" but it's just really barely there... not sure if it's supposed to be like that - even watermarks are stronger than this!
i uploaded it here:http://picasaweb.google.com/tfehler/Gimp#5312747909607161410
oh - one other question - on your first step, you have background (white) then your background paper, then two "pasted layers" that look like just transparency, THEN your photo with an alpha channel - what are the two pasted layers for? and do you need the white background layer if you have the paper open? Just trying to figure out the magical spell... :)

YES! I did it! Thank you! I know it was possible but you told me how to handle it.
