			<content type="html"><![CDATA[IDK what I am doing but when I first started masking the eraser tool would not work for me. So what I did was [url=http://www.danielveazey.com/gimp/gimp-layer-mask/]add a layer mask[/url], so when you draw on the mask the black pixels will actually be transparent. I thought that's how everybody does it. Huh. Wonder where I learned that, because I had never used gimp before.]]></content>

What? How do you mask?

If the eraser tool isn't working, he's probably just highlighting the wrong layer.]]></content>

Open up GIMP, go into File>>Open as Layers>>(whatever SAME CAMERA ANGLE image you load), then do the same thing and this time, choose the image you want to mask something out of. Then go into Mask>>Add Layer Mask, and then go into Mask>>Apply layer mask. Then SWITCH TO YOUR ERASER!!!!! Then erase out what you don't want, the save it, and tada! You have your masking done.]]></content>
