Photoshop: Layer Mask Tips

Video Transcript

"Now what we're going to do is we're going to finish up our layer mask. So if we look over here, we can see that we've already started and got this side done. I want to do the same thing over here, so let's click here. Let's bring the opacity back down just a little bit so we can see exactly what it is that we're doing. Let's just zoom in this section here. I'm just going to raise all of this right in here right along the hair line and maybe just a little bit over. You don't want to get rid of too much of the hair, but see this eye brow here, I don't want this eye brow to show through. So let's not erase too much to where that shows through, or her eyes because her eyes are really close to her hair line. I don't want to raise the ear either, I want to kind of keep that for an effect. So I'm going to take this down, we can actually take this down just a little bit more. There we go. So, let's zoom out, we can zoom out by hitting command minus or command under space bar, whatever you want to call that. Zoom back in just a little bit, round out here, and around the ear. There we go, hit command zero to bring this back to full screen. Let's hit our opacity, bring this all the way back up and there we go. We see the face is lining up quite perfectly with this here. So what we need to do now is, we need to adjust the face color here so it matches more of the photo color and we'll do that in the next section."
