Requested Tutorials (Part 1)

[daynawashere]

Hi all! I've had many requests for tutorials, here and at Ask the Maker, and these are the first two! Neither one is too long, and I hope you find them helpful! :)

Both tutorials are so interesting to read! Thank you especially for the second one (because I was one of the people, who requested it).

Just one question: This one step in which you "clipped" the curves layers to the Sarah layer...how can you do this? I have seen it so many times already, but I just have no clue how I get there. And what does this "clipping" do?
Argh, such a "rookie question", but I would be thankful for an explanation!!

You're welcome! And don't worry about being confused about clipping, it's not a rookie question at all! I was using Photoshop for years before I even knew it existed! I'll try to give you a more straightforward example so you can get the hang of it. (By the way, I only have Photoshop, so if you have a different program I'm not sure how it would work)

Let's say I'm making an icon with a cutout on top of a background:
