Masking | Photoshop Basic Tutorial

November 13, 2012 by John Ross

Professional Masking in Photoshop

Photoshop Perfection: Basic thru Intermediate

 

What’s the most important Photoshop skill you should learn?

Masking. Hands down. No question about it.

Let’s say you want to change the color of a shirt. What’s the best method for selecting objects in your photograph? Magic this or Magnetic that? Sure, automated tools such as this will make the change, but they’ll also cause your picture to look fake and amateurish.

Don’t put yourself through this. In my two-hour Photoshop Masking tutorial, you’ll learn how professionals properly create masks, as well as which skills work best in a wide variety of situations.

In general, we’ll cover following the topics:

 

3rd Party Tools
Selection Tools
Brush Palette
Quickmask
Color Range
Replacing the Sky
Alpha Channels
Vector Masking
Type Masking
Refine Edge
Masking Groups
Hair Cutout Using Refine Edge
Hair Cutout Using Channels
Hair Cutout Using Layers
Extracting from Masks
Inverse, Expand, Contract, Feather
Gradient Mask inside a Mask

 

A Whole Lot, for Very Little

Now you’re probably thinking, “Wow. That sure looks like a lot of material!” That’s because it is. But most importantly, I won’t simply throw a bunch of information at you and call it a day. Instead, I’ll show you how to actually use these tools in order to achieve the best results. We’ll start out simple with the Selections Tools, and slowly increase the complexity over the next hour. And before you know it, we’ll be working on more advanced, professional-level masking techniques.

Here’s the truth: When I started working on this Photoshop Masking Tutorial, I had no idea how large of a topic it was going to turn into. Every time I thought about what needed to be included, I realized there were more and more topics I needed to cover. I was amazed by how involved everything became.

But the end result is this: I’ll help you develop the skills you need to effectively manipulate images in ways that you never dreamed possible
