Very cool tutorial and you've explained the why of things very well.

You can't just use black on layer masks, but also grays. That way you'll only reveal what's underneath is partly. The darker the color you paint with, the more will be revealed.
I've been using layer masks for a few years now, but had no idea about this - only the black/white part. It's going to be very fun to play around with grays. :D

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this up.
