9. Now you’re ready to play. Be sure all the layers are turned on, then select the eraser tool and a brush size and shape from
the brush selection. Use something that has an irregular edge. Being sure that Layer 1 (one) is still highlighted (blue) set the opacity to 30
percent or so. Now erase with the brush. The original image, slightly blurred (remember cutout) will start to appear. (image below)

Remember, as you erase, let off of the mouse and re-click to get the opacity effect to “layer” or build. Also, change your brush size, shape and
opacity setting as you erase to get a variation in the look… Play with this until next tutorial and remember to post your results…. Enjoy..
