BSK Hat - Intersecting Inversion graphics

The new Baby Seal Killing design for the hat required the cleaned up/restored versions of the original layers to re-intersect. At the time of the original design, this was done by hand by our graphical designer. Without the use of a computer.

It took a while to figure out how Adobe Photoshop 7 (PC) could do it, and the results are below. If you'd like to know how, keep reading.

BSK Hat design - Intersecting Inversion graphics

  1. Ensure all your transparency is correct, and this probably only works for 2 color designs (ignoring the red for now).
  2. Create a layer on top of the two design layers. Fill with white.
  3. Select the first design layer. Load Selection. New Selection (don't invert)
  4. Select the second design layer. Load Selection. Intersect with Selection (don't invert)
  5. Select the filled layer. Add Layer Mark. Reveal Selection.

Cool, huh?
