Step 11: Click on the chain link

icon between the subject layer

thumbnail and the layer mask

to unlink them, which will allow

you to move either one inde-

pendently. Also, make sure the

layer thumbnail is selected, not

the layer mask, as indicated by

the white border lines around

the thumbnail.

Step 12: Press Command-T (PC:

Ctrl-T) to activate Free Transform

on the duplicate subject layer,

and then press Command-0

(zero; PC: Ctrl-0) to expand the

window and reveal the transform

bounding box. Press-and-hold

Command-Option (PC: Ctrl-Alt),

and then press the – (minus) key

to zoom out a little more.

Step 10: Press-and-hold the Shift

key and proceed to click on every

other shard as you go all the

way around the image, ignoring

the area in the center, of course.

Once you have every other shard

selected, turn off the cracked

glass layer, click back on the

duplicate subject layer to make

it active, and then click on the

Add Layer Mask icon at bot-

tom of Layers panel. This will

mask the layer in the area of the

selected shards
