PI

Additional files:
2 tubes and 2 masks.
You'll get the material in the zip-file.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The tubes are from the internet - one of the masks I've found in a magazine,
and the second one I've made for this blend.
You are allowed to download them here and use them for your
private use,
but you are not allowed to change the name of the tubes/masks,
delete the watermarks, neither offer them for sale or download.
The copyright © belongs ALWAYS to the original artist/designer!
No copyright infringement is intended.

Before we
start, you should open the masks, and store them into your Easy
Palette. In case you need to freshen up your memory on how to save
a mask into the EP - you can take a look at one of my other
tutorials, where I explain a little bit more about how to use a
mask in PI. You'll find the tutorial here.
Important - in my tutorials my masks fit the chosen
background/object ... you achieve this by right clicking any mask
inside the original category Mask Library in your Easy Palette.
Now you choose the option Fit Mask.
Very important:
Do NOT merge the picture
before I tell you
to do so!
