Need to copy glass textures and color to a shape...

Hi KaCe,

I believe this is a duplicate post, but I will ask youa couple of questions. Are you creating your stained glass window in Illustrator or Photoshop. If in Photoshop, you can put each pice of "glass" on a layer and use a layer mask to mask out the areas you don't want.

So. Create a layer with your window design, and put the glass pieces on layers beneath that layer. Then, on the design layer, select one glass shape at a time with either the Magic Wand, or Quick Selection tool to create a selection. With the selection active, then go to the layer underneath and with that layer selected, click the Mask icon at the bottom of the Layer's Panel. This will hide the areas you don't want and make it appear as if the glass was only in that shape.

Set the Blending mode of the Window Desin mayer to Multiply and then you will see whatever is underneath. With Multiply Black will show and White will disappear. You can then do this for all of your glass pieces to construct your window design.

Let us know if that works!
