  2. ya it seems the designer did this typo error but i appreciate him for his creativity. the technique is important rather than the actual text or spellings.

  3. Couldn’t get this to work. You say select both layers, quick mask, and go to filter…..but filters won’t work with 2 layers selected and I can’t get the right result. I’ve tried several different ways of getting it right but nothing will work. A little help please?
