I can't tell if PSE6 has layer masks or not, but here's a link for
instructions on how to simulate the layer mask in any version (I think)
of PSE. http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/qt/layermasks.htm

LOL, you're right, Marc. I spent some time this morning on the same
image that Moose, Andrew, and I have been toying with, and the healing
brush is rather nice. Forced myself to use PSE5 since it has the healing
brush, and I have to say that it is very helpful.
Much better than all the time consuming manipulation I've been doing
with the Clone stamp. But it will definitely take some time to learn how
to fine tune it to my preferences.
Thank you, Marc!
