part 2 is around but all of the stuff is in the fridge tutorial anyway
thanks for reading!
Hi Dylan - thanks...

I must admit I am acting quite dumb now...

I have created the mask which shows as a blank square on the layer. Where I am getting stuck is how do I from here work on it - i.e. how do I smooth the areas I don't need sharpening ('masking out roughly in red' as per the tutorial)??

Thanks heaps...
