Q about PS CS
I know my Photoshop pretty damn good, but I've been wondering about this for some time now...
I'll try to make myself as clear as possible.
Say, I have a texture. Any. Some scanned paper, doesn't matter. Then I have a nice bird picture and it has a white background. I put the pic on the texture and set it to multiply (or color/linear burn, whichever, those are the blend modes which kinda nullify white areas, ie, the white areas don't affect the undearneath layer in any way). My question is, is there any way to *easily* get rid of the white areas? Kinda like "select layer transparency", *but* with consideration to what the blend mode does? To select transparency errrrr... using the specific blend mode? I hope somebody gets my meaning.
(I could just make the bird into a brush and mask the background out, but that's not what I'm looking for)
Is there a way to do this? Dunno... channels? :|
