Does any one know how to shirk a mask in photo shop. I have looked at as many photo shops help for hours, maybe I'm using the wrong word shrink, I need to make the mask smaller than the original picture, can anybody help.

do you mean "reduce"?

If so, use the mask selection tool and right click inside the selection, then choose "transform selection" you can then transform as you would normally.

Hope that helps...

Jenny, if you do as Dave says but press Ctrl & T keys which is shortcut to the transform tool.

Hope this helps.

Could any please so kind to send the instructions on how to a mask and how to shrink it, I feel as though I have done something wrong somewhere, so I I think maybe the best thing is for me to go straight back to the be the beginning and start as though I know nothing, and going by this post I don't, I tried for three ;hours last night trying to figure it out and have to start fresh with this. Can someone please help me, I would truly appreciated it. I seem to have forgotten everything I've known. Mind melt they call it.

I think you'll need to do these individually otherwise you'll also shrink the space between the images which will prevent them from lining up.
