So, you want to make a mask. Well I have to tell you, they are quite easy to make. Here is what you do:
First, in PSP, open a new image. You can make it any size you like, I usually go for 600 X 600.
Next, you will want to have a background. I would suggest black (#000000) because it works well when you go to use it. I have seen lots that have a white background, that is good too. But when you use a mask with a white background, remember to invert it so that it is used properly.
Next, what I would do is to click on my paintbrush. I make sure that my foreground color is set to white (#ffffff). I then choose a paintbrush image that feels good. Abstract images usually work really well. I then go to my image and on a new raster layer, I start clicking away till I get something I think might be fun as a background. You can stay on one layer and click away or have a new layer for each click of the brush.
Sometimes I will feel like what I created won't show well when used, so here is what else I might do.... I find my circle brush (you can find those right beside the images you scroll through) and on a new raster layer, I click ONCE. So I have a big white circle in the middle of my mask... well that is unattractive... so I then go to my smudge button, located right beside the paintbrush button. There is a dropdown menu, you will find the smudger there. Once I have my smudge button activated, I will go around the edges of the circle to make it less unattractive, how much is up to you.
Once you are satisfied you have a usable mask. Save it as a JPeg and voila... you have made yourself a mask. Pretty easy, right?
Here is an example:

I haven't created a tutorial ever, but I do like to do them. A lot of these tags are from tutorials. As soon as I figure out how, I will link some of my faves here. In the mean time... Enjoy... :D
that I would like to be able to share with all of you. You see, I fancy myself a tagger. I have loved it since I first found out about it. PSP has kept me from being depressed and hating myself. I get so much pleasure from creating. And I think I do a pretty good job..... And here are some of my creations.
