Photoshop: Quick Mask Select

Video Transcript

"Now what I'm going to do is, I'm going to go ahead and quick mask select this layer, or select the options that I've already encircled. So, if we look here, we can see I have, you know, around here, around the mouth and the eyes, what I'm going to do is, I'm making a copy of my background layer. And I'm just going to turn my very back one off, for right now. And with my background copy here, I'm going to go ahead and tap q, for my quick mask edit mode. I'm going to hit my brush tool. I'll bring my brush up, quite a bit here. What we're going to do is, we're going to come in here, we're going to brush this in, what we've got going on. Over here, brush in, like so. There we go. Let's go over here, brush in a little bit more, like so. There we go. Now what I want to do is, I want to remove the teeth from the selection, because I want the teeth to retain their white color, and not what I'm fixing to do to this, so I'm going to shrink my brush tool down. Actually, I'm going to go to my erase tool. And I'm going to shrink my brush down, on my erase tool. I'm going to come up here and erase the teeth, right out of here. Just kind of, there we go. Just a little something like that. There we go. Now we have a good selection here. And if I want to, I'm going to turn off this top layer, to make sure this looks pretty even. I'm just going to play around with it and adjust it. Whoops, let's not do that. Let's go back to my brush tool, not my erase tool. Bring it up. I'm just going to adjust it, just a little bit, around here, to make this look a little bit better, like what I want. Like so, whoops. Let's take that brush out. Remember you can erase anything you don't like, so I'm going to stop here and we'll pick it up in the next."
