People & skies that aren’t really there.
Football laces on pieces of fruit.
And Spiderman’s mask on the Apostle Paul.

Interested in finding out more?
Like we mentioned in the Intro to Layers tutorial, Tutorial9 & PSDTuts are wonderful sites to expand your Photoshop knowledge. LifeChurch.tv’s OPEN Network & CreativeMYK are great resources where you can download pre-made, freely available .PSD (Photoshop) images. You can edit & tweak them to fit your churches needs.

A masking tutorial would be awesome and a Step #2. Jared?
