Please load the left handside picture into ArtEffect. In this picture you should replace the
pavement with a stone beach. To achieve this, you have to mask the whole picture
first. In menu STENCIL click on show stencil and mask ALL. Now you will see
the stencil-color covering your picture.

Doubleclick on the magicwand tool. The Tool settings requester should
popup. Change the slider ALL to 15 and start to unmask the pavement. You have to
hold down the left ALT key during the unmask process. It is not necessary to
unmask the whole pavement with the magicwand. Just the edge "Bar-pavement" has to be
unmasked. You can unmask the rest with Rectangular masking tool.

Change to the freehand tool. Change the cycle-gadget in the tool settings to
Matte and the opacity to 100%. Load
Strand_320.jpg as a brush into ArtEffect. You can do this in the menu BRUSH
Load. We have one problem with the brush. The "ex" pavement is falling from
left to right, the brush "stone beach" from right to left. You can change this very simple
with the Flip function from menu BRUSH. Flip the brush horiz., then you are ready
for the replacement.
Place the brush into the picture, so that the "stone beach" totally covers the pavement.

Last but not least you can smooth the edge from bar to beach with the brush mode
Smooth. Release the brush and choose a small brush. Then unmask the whole picture.
Click on the Rectangular tool, change the cycle-gadget to Smooth and
the opacity to 80%. Then smooth only a narrow stripe over the edge. You will get
a nice 3-D effect with the stones.
Now you have finished the lesson....
