In PhotoShop CS2, how so I create a filter layer using a photo?

Asked by annamarie703 (33points) January 2nd, 2010

I want to create a new layer, flitering out a part of an image, using a photo saved on my computer. I can do it with the pre-made patterns in photoshop, but cant figure out how to do it with my own photo.

Open the saved photo in Photoshop.

Select All (ctrl-A in Windows, cmd-A in Mac OS)
Copy

Open the destination image in Photoshop
Paste (it will automatically create a new layer)

Filter/edit the new layer to take out the parts you wish.

I think what you mean instead of filter is a layer mask. Correct?
