Photoshop Tutorial – How to Use QuickMask

February 15, 2011 by John Ross

Photoshop Tutorial – How to Use QuickMask

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 9 minutes

This Photoshop Tutorial video will explain how to properly use the QuickMask Tool. The purpose of this function is to create frisket masking which will allow you to manually select areas of colors or shapes. Once created, you can then use any other tools in Photoshop exclusively on the area that you masked out. While there are other tools available that will allow you to quickly create masks, like the Magic Wand, Magnetic Lasso, and Color Range. However, the QuickMask would be the proper, professional way of doing it.

While creating masks in Photoshop can be a tedious task, there are several ways of cutting corners, allowing you to use the QuickMask to achieve your goals faster than before. In addition to using brushes, you can also use the magic wand, gradients and the paint bucket tools to quickly fill large areas.
