Hi there; this may be rudimentary stuff but.....
1:.....when I tried to apply a mask (using brush effect) over block text it gave no result to my image (no masking appeared) although I could see the mask indicated on the thumbnail. For this text layer, using the buttons at the bottom of the palette, I had Created a New Group and then added a Layer Mask.
2: So, next, instead of 'Create New Group' I went to the Layer menu bar at the top of the Photoshop workspace and selected Layer -> New -> 'Group from Layers'.....then added the layer mask (using the Layer palette button). This time, my masking effect showed correctly...all was well.
Can anyone enlighten me on why '1:' did not work and '2:' did, please?
