Is there anyone that can tell me why the fade effect using a layer mask in these two tutorials results in absolutely nothing to my image?
Tutorial 1
Tutorial 2
I am by no means a graphics guru, but almost every other PS tutorial I have followed resulted in the expected outcome. This one, for some reason, does not. I select the text, flip it, rasterize it, click 'Add layer mask', set the gradient, pull and ... nothing, no change. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, reveal all (Layer -> Layer Mask -> Reveal All). I have no idea what that mode deal is all about.
Edit | Ok there is something else weird about this. In the layer mask, I can marquee a section of the mask, fill it with black and the section disappears. But I cannot gradient fill the marquee. That seems to not make much sense.
Edit 2 | Never give a dev geek a graphics toy, uh tool, and let him play. It is just plain dangerous.
