Description This is mostly so I don't forget how I did this ...

To proved that it would be useful, I made this, then waited a week, and attempted to reproduced the results. I FAILED. Therefore, this was worth my time. *epic win*

I'm just not getting the cut/paste thing at all...

I cut the 3rd layer...then paste it...and then it creates a new layer about something called 'floating text' and after that, it won't let me do anything ...

antichange In reply to Menchieee [2010-02-15 23:50:43 +0000 UTC]

Try cutting the 3rd layer, clicking the layer mask on your layers panel, then pasting, then layer-> anchor layer.


Did it work? 8D

It's called 'floating selection' actually...it won't let me select any of my layers or anything when that is selected

It sucks to be a beginner
