Dumb PaintShopPro query

[havoc]

OK, I'm feeling really stupid right now, but the 'Help' function is useless and my instincts have failed me...


I'm TRYING to cover-up most of a picture so I can edit the colour of some alloy wheels (need refurbing, thinking of changing colour).

I've tried the following:-
- Creating a mask. Great, I can hide everything bar the wheels. But I can't then change the colour on the mask.
- Creating a colour adjustment layer. Yep, new layer...but I can't hide 90% of the picture and edit part of it.
- Grouping the mask and the adjustment layer. Nope, can't do it for some reason. Can group mask and background layer (original pic), but not the mask and the adj. layer.


So...HELP!!!

(PS - please don't say 'buy PhotoShop'! )

I thought it had a handy colour replacement brush. Doesn't it work?

Now there's a question...didn't know that.

I'll look into that tonight and let you know...

(told you the 'help' was rubbish...)
