This process is a bit more difficult and requires the use of the freehand selection tool (if you have a tablet it's much easier). *Smile* Go to the dowel bk layer, add a new layer and call it sand. Next go to the glass layer (turning visibility of other layers off. Click outside the glass and then invert the selection. Modify selection/contract by 2 pixels. Save this to your alpha channel for possible future reference.
