I’m using CS2 Photoshop and Illustrator for class projects. I know almost nothing about the products. I want to edit photos by removing parts of them and I was told to use clipping masks. I’m not getting what I want. Sometimes the area I want masked "disappears" but when I combine it with other elements in my composition the edges of the photo are still there although they are "whited out" (Sorry, I’m explaining this the best I can). I can’t seem to get just the editted shape without the part that is masked.
I also don’t know what the definitions are for things like "Clipping Masks", "Merge Layers" vs "Group Layers", etc. Most of the time I know what I want to do but I don’t know the Adobe term for what it is called. This makes it impossible to look for a tutorial or other help.
I’ve used MS Publisher for many years but Adobe has me totally baffled.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
