Starburst help

[jo_marie]

I'm trying to make the starburst effect added Jan 9, 2009, and I find it quite easy, until I get to this part:
Ctrl/Cmd-Click the 'starburst' layer, then press Ctrl+Shift+I (MAC: Cmd+Shift+I) to invert the selection. Create a New Layer and fill the selection with white, then Deselect. Now fill the Background layer with black. And you can now delete the original black layer with the transparent starburst on it; the one we started with. You can now also give your new white starburst layer a proper name - "starburst".
I hit Ctrl-Click (I don't have a Cmd key), but nothing happens. I make a new layer, try to fill it with white, nothing.
Yes, I'm obviously a newbie, but really want to learn, so any help would be great!

I know nothing about the tutorial you are reffering to. However, I think what he means by "Ctrl-Click the starburst layer" is you need to have your mouse above the little "layer thumbnail" of the "starburst layer" when you "Ctrl-Click". This will make a selection using the "starburst layer".
