Running Time: 18 minutes

Properly masking out an image in Adobe Photoshop is often done using one of the simple selection tools like Magic Wand or Lasso. This is simply the wrong approach. You should be using Color Range and the QuickMask.

This video is also an introductory lead-in to my 2 hour Photoshop Masking Tutorial. That extended video covers many expanded topics that cover the range from Beginner, Intermediate, to Advanced.

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.
