How to Create Advanced Selections from Textures and Apply Them to a Layer Mask Part II

Welcome to my blog and today I am going to share part II of the Advanced Selections from the Textures post from yesterday.  This project may look simple at first glance, however as I continue to work on it, it gets more and more complex. Believe it or not, I am going to post a part III to show the final result of all the work (now I know why people charge $100 plus for a good template).  This post will be short and sweet, I will let the video do all of the talking.  The image above is the book cover (image folio) and almost complete, but I still need to do something to the front cover to create some kind of a border.  The back cover is the fun side, and the front cover is the elegant and simple side.  At least that was what the vision was  when I started this project.

Thanks for taking time to visit my blog today. I hope you all have a great day. Thomas Shue
