Learn the basics of using layer masks in Photoshop. In this tutorial I'll walk you through how a layer mask functions and a couple of creative ways to use them. You'll learn how to use layer masks at their very basic core and then learn how to use them to blend multiple images and effects together in Photoshop.
In this video I'll show you how to cut through layer masks with the brush tool and I'll also show you how to invert layer masks so you can paint them into specific areas of a given photo to create a local adjustment.
