Masking

Well, today has been an interesting day trying to keep up with my nose. Yes, I have encountered a wonderful glorious cold. But in the mean time, one aspect of photography editing that I have been wanting to dive into a bit concerns masking. I was first introduced to it years back when I took a beginning photoshop class, but of course with anything, unless used, it will eventually be forgotten. So of course, I forgot!!! So I am glad that last night I was able to take some time to read up on it a little bit and scratch the surface on re-learning some of it, and then this afternoon I took one of my photos and created a layer mask with it. The photo on the top is the original and then one below it is the masked photo. Take a look at the difference between the two photos. I think I am going to really like this little tool that I have now been able to dabble a little bit with.
