Thank you for your feedback - I take you talk about step 4... I actually just tried following the instructions step by step and it leads me perfectly to recreating what I had in mind when writing that part.

I don't really know what you mean when you talk about the "outer area" - once you've copied and pasted the inverted Alpha-mask-selection you create two shapes: The outer shape and the inner one for your texture. Those can both be modified using the Blending Options... and can also be altered using the steps that follow...

I just try to understand what part you had trouble with so that I am able to optimize any incomprehensible parts...

All the best...

i wish i could be bothered and id be more in depth buts its all good, it just takes some commo nsence on my behalf.

im very literate and i did it at least 5 times over step by step doing exactly as described and so did my friend and soon as ur adding the gradient overlay ur adding it to the inverse of the shape due to a missing step.

its all good =)
