I've asked in a few of the challenge threads themselves but the questions are getting lost in the abyss of the threads.

I am stuck. There are a few challenges that do tutorials that I am unaware of how to do certain functions so I cannot progress in the tutorial that is there. I want to learn I am just kinda confused at how to get there.

On Jan. 8th's challenge: I'm having trouble figuring out how to get this all to work.. The instructions say then add a layer mask to HIDE your bottom copy of your photo

How do I make a mask to hide the copy?


My other question is, do I need post my page in each of the original challenge day threads and in my own challenge thread? I don't want to break the rules my first challenge in.
 
What software are you using?
I am using CS6 and to create a layer mask highlight the layer that you want to mask. Click on layer from the top menu. Scroll down to layer mask. From the pop out menu select hide all.

In reference to posting your pages in the challenge thread... It is not required, though you may want to post in the daily challenge threads since they are choosing winners from those threads. Per the rules your pages must be posted in your MOC tracking thread. The guidelines can be found here - https://the-lilypad.com/forums/showthread.php/29336-Month-of-Challenges-Guidelines

4. After you complete your first layout, please create a new thread HERE. The title of your thread should be “your username’s layouts” (for example – mrs2a50’s Layouts). Please use your username and not your given name.

Also in post #24 Julie responds that

You can if you want, but its not required. However, each host will be choosing one page from their challenge to receive a GC as well, so posting to each daily thread is a good thing!

I hope this helps answer your questions. You might post questions in the Q&A thread as it is checked often and not bogged down with pages. You can find that thread here - https://the-lilypad.com/forums/showthread.php/29335-Q-amp-A-Thread

and please know, that we are a loving bunch, we won't flog you or publicly humiliate you if you are off course. We want you to scrap and enjoy the process and your final page. Farrah is the hostess for Day 8 and she is a whiz at helping also...she will pop in probably tomorrow and fix you all up! ♥
 
Thank you!! I feel better now! That worked for me Trista! Aww Anne, I am a stickler for rules. I don't even drive over the speed limit! How do I do credits for posting in the gallery? Just the names of the kits/designers?
 
I was lost too... SO I BASICALLY HUNT THE POLLYWOGS DOWN!! and get them to explain it to me STEP BY STEP .... LOL!! if I still can't the answer (because I'm such a BIMBO), I HUNT ALL MY DIGILAND FRIENDS DOWN!! and FORCE THEM IN very nice way to do me a VIDEO!! do PM me if you need screenshots of the tutorial... I got stuck where you got stuck too... :)

Yes names of kits and designers is just perfect.

Thanks for starting the thread, I have to say all the threads are going so fast that it's hard to keep up with them. Let us know anything else.
