Inside this video, I'll show you my absolute favourite scrapbooking technique that I used in every layout I create: Clipping masks.
Clipping masks are a non-desctructive way to 'cut out' your photo. Plus it's the easy way to use a digital scrapbooking template.
You just lay your photo or paper on top of a layer that you want it to clip to.
Then use scrapper's best friend - the clipping mask command to clip your paper or photo to a shape in Photoshop Elements.
- The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+G (or Cmd+Option+G on a Mac)
- Or go to the Layer menu and click create layer mask
For older versions of Photoshop Elements the shortcut is Ctrl+G (or Command+G on a Mac)
