Adjustment layers are one of the most powerful tools in Photoshop because of their ability to make non-destructive edits to your image. But if you want to unlock their full potential, you need to know about layer masks.

Layer masks allow you to make creative adjustments to lightness, darkness, and color balance to the whole image, a part of the image, or anywhere in between. It's also the easiest way to dodge and burn your photograph.

Using layer masks is simple and easy. Watch our Pixel Podcast, then give it a try!

  • thats for sure and ive had a teacher that teaches a class on Adobe photoshop ... really all she does is give the student papers and tells them to figure it out why cant there by more teachers like you in this world atleast around my part lol... nice work...

  • Great job as usual, Melanie! Your videos are very helpful and what I have come to expect from what I think is the best lab in existence, West Coast Imaging. This video is a little advanced for me and I can't quite keep up with it but that's my fault - I only know the rudiments of PS. One of these days, I have to sit down and learn the more advanced PS features and your videos will be a big help to me when I do that. WCI is a true class-act.

  • good video thx for the info
