If you go too far taking away the texture, change the color in the color picker to white. (Note: the keyboard shortcut is “d” to make the color picker the default and then “x” to change it to white in the foreground.) Then with the brush, just brush over the image areas that you want to bring back the texture. Changing the opacity of the brush will determine how much of the effect you put on or take off. Also, it depends on what version of Elements you have. Older versions didn’t have layer masking options. I’m going to do a video tutorial using Photoshop and Photoshop Elements next month. (Busy working on a new texture collection this month.) Thanks for your questions.

I recognized where I made my mistake, so it couldn´t work. Although elements offers limited possibilies I can do the most of what you show in the tutorial with the same applications. Just one thing left: In step four in the starter kit you explain: “If you go too far and want to apply less mask, just switch your color to white and paint over those areas of the mask that you want to diminish.” Where can I adjust the colour for diminishing in the layer mask? What do I have to proceed?

Thanks again and sorry for so much question, yesterday and today…

Just one very important question for me: I use photoshop elements. I´m very used with the applying of layers, adjustments and so on. The only thing is, I can´t find a way to brush off the colour in a layer mask. There are a lot of other tools for layer mask, where you can higlight, darken oder colour the isolated areas.But: textures stays still there. However, I have never found a way to rub off the area like you always do. Maybe you know the answer. I just thought about the fact, that elements does not have that application. It really narrows my possibilities and limits the fruits of my work. Thank you et a bientot, Kathleen

Thanks for your question! See the layer that’s 3rd down in the layer panel? That’s a Level’s Adjustment Layer. I selected the Blue channel and pulled the highlights to the right a little bit, thus adding Blue to the highlights (or you can also think of it as subtracting yellow). I have a tutorial on using adjustment layers if you aren’t familiar with them. Would it be helpful for me to do a little tutorial about using Levels?

Excuse me for my ignorance but how and where do you add a blue layer. I could use a little clarification on that. Thanks
