Layer Mask

Greetings! And Welcome to my Blog. 

Where I can teach you how to use Layer Mask.

HOW TO MAKE LAYER MASK?

• Open or create a Photoshop file. To do so, double-click on the blue app icon that contains the letters "Ps," then click on File in the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click New.

• Click on the layer you want to mask. The layers window is in the lower-right part of the app.

• Select the area you wish to remain visible. You can use Marquee Tool to select a larger area that doesn't require fine edges.Or, Pen Tool to outline the edges of a finer shape, like individual flower petals.

• Click on the "Add Layer Mask" icon.If you used a Pen Tool to draw the selection, click on the icon one more time, after the label changes to "Add Vector Mask."

• Save your changes. To do so, click on File in the menu bar, then Save in the drop-down.

Layer Mask
        *Layer masks are a fundamental tool in image manipulations.They allow you to selectively modify the opacity (transparency) of the layer they belong to.This differs from the use of the layer Opacity slider as a mask has the ability to selectively modify the opacity of different areas across a single layer.

    *This modification of a layer’s transparency through a mask is non-destructive to the layer itself.

    *This flexibility to define the opacity of different areas of a layer is the basis for more interesting image manipulation techniques such as selective coloring and luminosity masking.
    *Working with Layer Mask is not easy, you need to be careful on using it.


    *You can use this in your future if you want to be an entrepreneur you can use this for your own brochure/flyer.
