The material was great as normal but I struggled to get the mask by selection done properly.I am not sure when you said click shift to get the mask by selection option as this didn’t appear and then I failed to get the head cut out
What have i done wrong as its so good not to do it myself
Thanks
Dave: To mask you need to select two things. So I am selecting the photo. Then Shift+click to select the shape. That way you have both the photo and the shape selected.
