looks like this might work (not sure though, I'm a bit suspicious). 'Oh well, we shall see', said the blind man.

Thansk anyway for the help

ps: it's American dollars (US client )

OK I Finally figured it out.

1. make a new path


2. select the path of the blue layer. cut the VECTOR MASK of the blue layer. paste it into the new path. this is gonna cause the blue layer to fill the whole screen but thats fine.


3. Do the same thing with the red vector mask Cut and paste in to new path

4. have the path that was formerley the red shape selected.
go to pen tool and change to SUBTRACT FROM SHAPE AREA.
If it worked you path should look like this.


5. select both the shapes in your path and click on the blue layer.
right click and select CREATE VECTOR MASK.
And you'll have yourself a nice blue layer.

awesom fungas, it worked like a charm

I was just about to hang myself up and shoot a couple of ducks through my brain, but you saved my life!

Thanks a ton

Starting to get the hang of it Can do it even faster now with a few steps skipped (cutting i not really nescessary). When the jobs done I'll post the new way here too, for future reference.

This should be in the tutorial section...

Do it, Sir! Once you've honed it down to its simplest form, put a TUT together and share it with us!

I agree w/ Rein.
Yer real good at findin' yer way around PS FF. Nice work.

I meant the tut from FF, I suck in writing and the one he wrote seems clear enough (it was for me).

The actions I took wich seemed quicker we're actually not quicker, it's the same amount of steps, just a comfortabler way for the project I had, but it's practically the same.

yey for FF

way to go, toe jam!

It's kinda funny I wouldn't have had a clue of what to do if I hadn't read Reinmans mini tut fifteen minutes before I wrote that.

HA! well...you figured it out! Even ScionShade should be impressed.
