Layer Masks In Photoshop

[lorsope]

Your video is great and really helpful!!! For the second video im just wondering if you can drag the gradient more than once to get it to fade in several places? Thank you!

[qormi1000]

Thank you Howard. Great video. You are a good teacher. Easy to follow.

[mrslink2]

at 7:47 where you say "switch that"....what did you switch? It looked like you clicked the zoom tool...???

[damaged2]

@mrslink2 He switched the black as foreground to background. When he originally applied the gradient the top part of the circle faded away. But he wanted the bottom part to fade away instead. So he clicked on to the mini-squares to switch foreground/background colour.

[sunakonakahara22]

[imatrini4life]

[diannafreespirit]

I've been looking around for some good tutorials on Photoshop, and from what I've seen, you guys totally ROCK! Thank you and keep up the good work.

[romicaaaaaaaa]

i came here searching for the extract tool in cs4 (they don't include extract in cs4 x64) and instead i find these many tutorials about layer masks :)) use extract and the eraser. much easyer :D (ALT inverts the erasing) i hope i find a better use for layer masks :-s

[perfektwave]

i like this tutorial, you do a good job of describing how layer masks work, although i wish you would tell us what keystrokes you are using.

[lover12382]

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ilijadimitrovski]

I LOVE YOU , I Learned Whole Photoshop from R tuts..

[2v1l]

i always use layer masks =) another trick is to Alt + Click on the layer mask to see in black and white

[thejtphotograph]

Very straight to the point! Well explain!

[vsolomito]

sir, i always enjoy your tutorials, this one ,too. it seems to me that i saw a tutorial by you (or someone who sounds like you). this tut discussed something called "the Monty Zucker effect". it seemed akin to the Orton effect but with a difference.

can you help me find this tutorial. thank you.

[mychillypepper]

Unbelievable.. Didn't know you could do this...

[djbugzy]

great job ive been listening to a tutorial for 2 days now and ive got to say yours is more newbie friendly. its easy to follow and complete so like i said great job

[sweetywise]

what do you do when every time you click on the brush, it says that it does not correspond to the chanel. how do you set up your tools so that it works with the mask layer.. mine ever works on the layer mask :( or is there a way to brush without having to use the layer?

[blueprince2]

Well, I got two pictures open at the same time, which took me awhile to figure out how to do, but how do you get the background picture in the little box on the right, and then the layer a different picture in order to combine them.

Hi believe it or but, this has helped me a lot. I have elements 2.0. I didn't understand layers and layer masks. Of course my set up is different from the later versions, but, I still got the hang of it and I understand it now.

I like the way that you explain everything.

Thanks.

[Lohiau1]

Great!!! I have tried to work with Photoshop for 2 weeks now. I do understand how and why to use adjustment layers but up to now I didn`t get the meaning of layer masks (I know that sounds kinda silly^^). So thank you a lot.
