I have watched the Julianne Kost tutorial and followed the instructions.
The image I've pasted into this photoshop template appears to be in the mask layer, but it's not visible.
I've been able to do this successfully with masks I make myself, but not with this template purchased on Adobe Stock. There's a lot more going on in this template than anything I've ever made myself.

@jeannehilary, I'm not sure exactly what's happening but instead of pasting your image into the layer, what happens when you use File > Place Embedded? Can you link to Julieanne's tutorial and I'll take a look?

Here is the tutorial:

And here are screenshots of your suggestion, which places the image on a new layer.

Okay, thanks for that., I think understand better now! In your first set of screenshots, it looks like the Background copy layer is selected. But I'm assuming you are trying to paste your t-shirt image into the layer mask where it says [YOUR IMAGE HERE]. What happens when you turn off the layers on top of that layer? Can you see your pasted image then? What is the format (i.e., jpg, png) of the bicycle riding moose image? Where are you pasting it from? Not sure what else to ask, but others may have more ideas. It's possible the template has some issues. If you want to share it, we can test it on our end.
