Hi Kindari, stuck again around step 32 in the CS5.1 (refuse to fork out the bucks for 6 ).
Step 32 is Create a selection from the "Base" ---Layers panel -> Ctrl + click thumbnail
Does that mean...with the layer just created in Step 31 "Layer 1" hold down Ctrl key and then select the "Base" layer i.e. both layers are selected. If thats the case then there is no modify option comming up for me in Step 33 Alt -> S -> M -> E. My guess is that the base layer was still supposed to have the selection on it somehow but perhaps not. Another guess is that step 33 expands the outline of the land shapes by 20 for later coastlines to go in but sorry getting a little lost...and step 46 my next BIG SAVE is so far away
