Hello,

I’m currently working on an assignment, but have been stumped.

What I have planned to do is a portrait image of myself (800×800) but divided in to 8 sections from the center (like a pizza). So I started out by drawing boxes 100×800 in black and white consecutivly, distorted using polar coordinates, smudging the center to get them to be selectable with the magic wand.

This is where I got stuck, I want each section to be a replica of the original, but altered. Let’s not get into that now 😛

I’m trying to use masking, but am unsure where to even begin.

OK not sure this would work but

use the pen tool set on paths
make your shape outline
change path to selection
open image>> select all >copy and
use "paste into"
will also allow you to move the image under the shape till it’s right

Might want to do exactly as you have stated, to create a Layer Mask. I’d do each iteration on a full-sized dupe of my Background Layer, then Mask out all but the pie-slice that I wanted to show.
