Adobe Photoshop Tip:
Usings Masks
Key points to remember:

• A layer mask allows you to hide portions of an image on a layer from view

• A mask provides flexibility because it does not delete portions of an image, it only hides them.

• Remember: black blocks, white reveals.
Wherever black is painted on a mask, the corresponding area in the image on the layer will be hidden from view. Wherever white is painted on the mask, the corresponding part of the image will be in full view. Wherever a shade of grey is painted on a mask, the image will partially show through.

• A mask is easily editable.

• You can make a hard-edged mask, with the edges being defined by a resolution-independent path, which can be edited by manipulating bezier curves, by choosing Layer>Add Vector Mask. A standard, non-vector mask is pixel-based and resolution-dependent.

• You can have a standard mask and a vector mask on the same layer.
