I hadn't read that yet, but thankyou. Damien managed to write that article pretty much how the situation played out for me- except I never got the hooray at the end. I figured I'd have luck in blend modes and I tried pretty much exactly this but I struggle because the white is brighter than the rock I am trying to put in there, and I can't get the end result with the purple looking believable. Maybe I needed to have a more patient go... Gee I wish I was dealing with a white scarf, I feel I could have gotten it by now ??
wow Damien, you truely are the master! That looks so much better than any of my attempts
