you lost me at point 10 however ... how i go about using a "brush" or some such thing to rub through only certain parts of the background, or indeed "make the mask layer current and hide the background
and clean up erasing the bits of the mask you don't want...

cheers tho, so much stuff one can do with layers eh !
