Dust off the Bike and go for a ride...<sorry bad joke...>

excellent clarity - I like it, but I still prefer BrianK's because he managed to get more mood into it and wipe out the straw on the floor (I think by just curving).  You seem to have an excellent eye.

re getting a mask back to PS - I couldn't find it either!  definitely not in the manual.

Here is a note I made from my course

---

Open the layer in CM
Create the initial mask. 
Use the copy Channel Icon. This copies the layer to the clipboard. Kind of holds it static for you.
Press Ctrl-Shift-I to invert your mask in CM and make the adjustments you want to make.
Close CM, make a new mask layer and paste the copied original mask into the layer.
Use this layer to make any adjustment you want.

hope that helps

Hats off to Roo Rider on the clarity on this last one - as a pure tour-de-force, it's stunning.

Yes, the forum is a bit confusing - I find that the RSS feed feature makes life a lot easier, as far as tracking new postings without a lot of trouble.  In the spirit of adding to the confusion, I'd like to move this example as well out to the Interesting Images area so that others can have a go at it.
