PSE7 Help

[Misty Cato]

I'm writing a tutorial for using layered templates. In PSE8 and PSCS3 there is a 'Create Clipping Mask' option in the Layers drop down menu. I have a PSE7 user who says it isn't there in PSE7. Can someone check the main menus of PSE7 for me and let me know if the is a Create Clipping Mask option in one of them?

I realize there is a keystroke that will work, but I like to be able to reference the menu choices too.

Thanks in advance!

I looked through all of my drop down menus and I don't see anything for creating a clipping mask. When you say there's a keystroke that works, are you talking about doing a 'control-g' in the layers palate or is there something else I am going to want to know how to do?

You've got it, it's Ctrl+G. Nothing new here, just a basic 'how to use a template' tut. I just like to include both menu and keystroke options. Guess there isn't one in PSE7. Thanks!

The tut is here (http://mistycato.wordpress.com/2009/10/02/using-layered-templates-in-pse/) if you want to see it.

Oh - I see that one! Oops!! I was looking for something specifically titled "clipping mask". Duh!
