Okay, so on this tutorial we are actually going to be talking about adding a layered mask to your image. So, we have the black and white on file as you can see, the black and white layer, and let me zoom in for you as you can see it is right on top. If we unselect the "I" you can see the color layer is still there. Click the "I" back on and what you want to do is go down to this little thing right here and zoom in, add a Vector mask, go ahead and click that mask. As you can see you notice this white box here on the black and white layer just came on, now what that means is anything you paint while this little box is selected, if you use your paintbrush and you paint with black anything you want to be, whatever is below that is what is going to show up. Say for instance, down below this black and white layer you got the color layer, if your painting in this little box with this black paint brush, anything that you paint will come into color. Now basically, I am going to show you how to do this in the next clip and I am going to teach you what kind of brush to use and exactly what is the best method for doing this."
