Have you ever played with Quickmask? If the answer is no you’re missing out on a great feature. Digital expert Gavin Hoey www.gavtrain.com demonstrates how filters can be applied to a quick mask to create a very satisfying border effect.

Gavin, great work again, but something is wrong here. When I click “inverse” the frame gets red not the center part. If I follow the instructions using inverse with center red, the fill doesn’t happen.

Why is the center red on yours even though you clicked “inverse”??? Shouldn’t inverse set the outer part as the highlite?

Hi – I have that DVD – how about more for Elements?
I can only hope.
#14 | Written by PhotoGavin about 2 years ago.

Not that many, most are for Photoshop only. I do have a DVD that is devoted to Elements. Check out my website for details.

Excellent tutorial!
#16 | Written by onedeliciousmac about 2 years ago.

If I order the Youtube video from you, how many of the lessons will work on PSE 6? Have one of your DVD’s and they are so easy to watch and follow as I work. Thanks!

Quick yet smart and artistic.
There should be a 6-star rating just for you!!

Sorry, Quick mask isn’t part of Elements.
#20 | Written by onedeliciousmac about 2 years ago.

I have PSE 6 – can I do this on my program – or is it just PS?
Thank you!

I know it’s silly, but this was one of the special effects I missed most from my old, much simpler program! I’ve found them again! Thanks tons, Gavin!!

#23 | Written by theanalizer about 2 years ago.

hi gavin,i used to be able to press a button to work to the edge.now i cant go past the edge,to make it easier(i have to zoom out)
if you have any idea from the babble i am typing,please let me know.
thanks gavin.

You’re not being thick. Actually the filters will have an effect in the middle, try some and see what works. Bluring the edge increase the number of filters that will work.

Experiment is the key word here.
#25 | Written by kitty3309 about 2 years ago.

Ok, I`m thick but how come it only affects the edges of the mask?

Nice effect though!
