When you start with an image like a jpeg, it is a "background layer". If you use the eraser tool, it will leave whatever color you have selected as the background color in your palette wherever you erase. When you promote the background layer and turn it into a raster layer, if you erase, it leaves transparency wherever you erase. There are MANY cases and situations where that is much more desirable then leaving a "color" behind when you erase, especially if you have added any layers "below" the original layer.

I used that webinar to "remake" all the calendar portions of your templates last year (2024 calendars). This year I decided to use the ones provided with a few small modifications. That was a great webinar and that was how I got "introduced" to you. It was the first time I got the benefit of your expertise.

And here are the last three, October thru December.

Here are July through September.

Here are April thru June.

My theme for this years calendar is Kentucky. Last year I kept it wide open for just about anything. I established a basic layout and "pattern" that I was going to stick with and I think I was able to do that. Before starting, I looked on internet to see if "months" have specific colors associated with them and found out it is totally subjective LOL. I don't think I found two charts anywhere that matched or were even in the ballpark with each other. I just picked one and used it. I incorporated each months birthstone into each calendar. Fortunately NOT subjective, they are pretty much set in stone (pun intended har har !!). Here are the first three. I'll do three more posts each with three calendars. They are all in the gallery and I'm linking to them there in these posts.

In which country do you live, Corrie?

Gonna try this one more time. Papers PBS-Escale amoureuse- Talie and Flolinette-PBS-EscaleAmoureuse. Rest is original and off the internet.

I didn't realize. Taking it down again. Will repost after I get it figured out.

Im going to have to repost. Just realized I forgot part of the challenge....duhhhh ! It'll be back soon.

That was an easy fix. I just "turned" off the mask layer and resaved everything. Thanks.
