You can upload picture at http://tinypic.com or even better create an account at http://photobucket.com so you can manage your images.

You can upload files at http://www.mediafire.com so peoples can download them.

Not sure if I mentioned it before but I have 2 masking tutorials on my blog if you are interested!

Is this what you need?

Ok first please understand I'm not being a jerk but this is all covered in a tutorial when you first start the software. It has been for a while now…second it's obvious you made the same mistake everyone who's new makes and just decided to skip the tutorial and jump in don't get angry at the software for something you decided not to learn. It's a very simple software but like anything you have to get used to it first.

wow.... just watched your masking....

If you're using Debut, you can use a bone layer like a group layer. It has the masking options so put your layers in there.
