Need good tutorials for Mask Pro orother masking program tutorials.

The Mask Pro manual is not well written - so I'm looking for some good
tutorials. Also, I'm looking for opinions on what is the best masking
program available now: Mask Pro, Knockout 2, etc. Thanks.........

 

This is a yahoo egroup

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/InsideGraphics/

I'm still basically a beginner with PhotoShop. I started doing the
tutorials (in email)in the basics, with this group, but they later got
advanced and switched from 6 to 7. I have 6, and feel it works better with
my older computer and Windows 98 SE (I'm on a limited budget)

I still get the tutorials in email, and see they have been about more
advanced subjects like masking, blending and such.

There's also the archives and website.

I just found this ng and have been looking down it. Most of it is way
beyond where I am, but I'm hoping to read a lot and soak up some of it to
learn from.

Actually, I had been learing PhotoShop (mainly on my own, and through
various tutorials) but got sidetracked by Desktop Publishing, and learning
basics with msn Publisher. I think it all relates.

One idea I had was to design and print notecards, but am finding that more
complicated than it looks. With the sizes and settings and getting it to
come out right, with good color (on card paper). I just got a new printer
and I think this is the main problem. I can set it up fine in PhotoShop (or
Publisher) but it doesn't print right.

I like to keep learning, and maybe at some point it will all come together
in some way. Sometimes I feel like such an old dog- learning new tricks.
Thought I'm sure I'm not the only great-grandmother, who got into computer
stuff later in life (LOL)

Anyway, that egroup (and website with it) might be something to look into.
They also have another egoup (same name, with "open") for discussions and
questions.
