Another Way To Create The Glass Pane
___________________________________________________
Another way to do this is to find a black/
white frame and select it with the magic
wand set on Tolerance about 20 and select
some of the black area then go to
Selections/Modify Select Similar If there
are gray areas you want also, hold down
the shift key and select one of those then
go to Selections/Modify Select Similar
do this till you have all of it you want
selected now copy it and paste as a new layer.
Then go to Colors/Adjust/Brightness/Contrast
and set it for Brightness = 255, Contrast = 0
Then skip number 4 to 11 and go on to do
12 through 15.
This will just make your glass effect so you
can copy it and paste into a selection.
