How do I get Layer 11 to stay within the Wings boundary without having to have the Wings layer show up underneath? So far when I've come accross this issue I'd switch to GIMP and then alpha to selection, ctrl+x the accent layer, paste into a new layer, and then delete the old accent layer. Unfortunately GIMP decreases the quality of the edges a lot for some reason, so I'm looking for, uh, other alternatives. :,D[/center]

If you hold Ctrl while left-clicking on the thumbnail of the Wings layer, it will alpha-select the layer. Then you would go to your Layer 11 and create a layer mask in the shape of that alpha selection. The new layer mask button is a grey rectangle with a white circle in the center at the top right-hand corner of the layer dialog! Make sure that when you resume painting, your layer mask does NOT have a pink outline around it in the layer dialog - you'll want to click once on the layer to make sure that it's the layer you have selected, not the mask, as your current drawing layer!
