I have written a short blog on layer masks if anyone is interested. Please let me know what you think. I hope its of use to some as layer masks are often seen as quite daunting but they are an essential tool to processing and allow the user full control.
Thank you, Simon. I bookmarked this to use it in a few weeks when I start editing some photos I've taken for a project. You entry reads really well- I like the step by step breakdown. Perhaps a few images as examples might take it even further? Thanks again for sharing. :)
@lindseying Thanks for looking and thanks for the input. Yes I think it a good idea about having some photos in there. I will get onto it! Thanks again. Simon
Thanks Simon! I've put aside many images because I hadn't gotten around to learning layer masks yet. This seems do-able now you've given me concise and easy to understand instructions. I'm on holidays now for a week so I shall spend the time playing with those images :)
I'll have to wait until I can check it out on my computer. This seems to work oddly on my I pad. It opens two windows on top of each other, but the bottom one moves when I swipe.
You made that seem extraordinarily easy ~ I will practice this later ~ I only use layer masks that in in pre-set actions at the moment so this will be something new for me ~ thank you!
@Farscapephotography Thank you, Simon! This had recently been verbally explained to me, but had left me with more questions than answers... Your tutorial has answered all my questions, I think! Will try it out later, but it looks like you have succeeded in making it incredibly easy to follow!
Thanks
