Oh crikey, what a dummy! Thanks guys

Thanks guys for all your help. I was a little worried about how a newbie question would be received, but you've all been really helpful. I'm really not very good at freehand art at all, but Bryce and wings3d mean that even I can make images that look pretty okay, and I am really enjoying using them.

Being from the UK I don't celebrate thanksgiving (I am a big Vikings fan though, if anyone is from the Minnesota area), so Turkey is not for another month or so. And apparently I have to cook "turdukin" for Christmas this year - whatever that is?

Er no, but that does do the trick. I can now apply the mask render as a mask layer on my original image in paint shop pro and - viola! Thanks so much exxe, I knew it was a dumb question, but I am just getting into this stuff and there's quite a lot to try and take in. Thanks again, Tim
