Changes This | To This |
- Finally, look in the File menu and select: Save as a Mask
Close the editor and load a new photo into the editor and apply this new mask to it.
This is also your first introduction to colored masks.
When dealing with any mask that has a color, you want to select white as your mask color, in the mask window.
Any other color will give it a tint of color that you select. White will be neutral and allow the original image color to show through.
Mask Rule: When dealing with colored masks, always select white as your applied color in the Mask window.
After you have applied this mask to a photo, you will note that it blends into the underlying photo. This is because masks
merge with the photo.
Mask Rule: Colored Masks apply poorly to lighter colored photos and apply better to darker colored photos.
