Could someone please explain these to me? I have never gotten one to look right. I don't use Photoshop, so unless you have PSP, it will probably have to be in general terms.

To be honest, I still don't really understand. I've tried using them and nothing happens. There doesn't seem to be any difference at all.

well in photoshop you use the paint brush or pencil tool or even the gradient tool and use black to cover up parts of that layer and white uncovers them again
