photoshop layer mask
Is there no layer mask for photoshop elements 8?
on the photoshop we use in class, the layer can go right onto the layer you want to mask. is this possible with elements 8? if it’s not…how can i get this function on elements 8?
No, Elements doesn’t have a Layer Mask but you can easily add one. It will appear in the Action Player. Grant’s Tools, Richard Lynch’s Hidden Power Freebies and Elements Plus Demo all include a Layer Mask along with a few other useful Photoshop “tools” that Elements doesn’t “show”. I say “show” because Elements is a build of Photoshop. This means that Adobe takes the Photoshop program and puts a new workspace, toolbar, etc. on it but a lot of the code for Photoshop things that don’t show up in Elements is still there. I have all of the above add ons and would recommend the Elements Plus Demo. It self-installs and works really well. Click the Demo Version link in the 4th paragraph, select your version of Elements and your operating system and download.

(FYI – the Demo version is fully functional and not time-limited. It’s not a trial version.)
