Vector Masking
http://biorust.com/index.php?page=tu...etail&tutid=62

Im all good untill it says

Using the direct selection tool, right click on a line in your pen path and select the option to 'Create Vector Mask'

I dont have that option.
THeres a screen shot attached on what my options are. Im useing PS 6. What Am I doing wrong thank's

Photoshop 6 may not have this feature. So that could be the problem.

However, try this:

Make sure you have the LAYER you want to add the mask to selected. You don't want to just have the path selected. Also, check to make sure you are using the white arrow tool - which would be the direct selection tool, not the black arrow - which is the path selection tool.

Kevin, jonbalza is correct. PS6 does not support the 'Create Vector Mask' option. Another way you might want to experiment with is using 'Paths' to achieve the same effect. Open up the Help section of your PS6 program and take a look at the info there. Good luck!!---bedlam123
