make it active, and then click the Create a New Layer icon at
the bottom of the panel to create a new layer at the top of the
layer stack. With the same brush still selected, Option-click (PC:
Alt-click) on the red of the text to sample that color. Then, paint
shards of glass around the broken areas of the text. This will cre-

Step Twenty-Six: One last thing:
We want to bring most of her arm
in front of the text, so Command-
click (PC: Ctrl-click) the layer thumb-
nail of the main subject layer to load
her shape once again as a selection.
Once you have the selection, click
on the mask thumbnail on the text
layer to make it active again. Select a
round, hard-edged Brush and paint
away the text in front of the arm.
As a finishing touch, drop in a player’s name using the Type
tool. Apart from any adjustments that you might want to make,
you’re pretty much done. ■
