So let’s do a quick tutorial to show you how easy this works now. Any part of the mask that is white will reveal the layer, any part of the mask that is black will hide the layer. One other thing to note when working with layer masks is that you are working in greyscale. In other words, you make all your adjustments on the layer mask, leaving the image untouched. Layer masks can be used in lots of different ways, but basically they allow you to hide or mask certain parts of an image without destroying the image. But we don’t want to think that much – it hurts! So thank you Adobe for including layers masks in the new version 9! Now, with one click it’s done! In previous versions of Photoshop Elements, in order to use layer masks basically you had to add a new layer, change the settings, and group it with your main image, which was perfectly doable if not a little messy but required a lot more thought processing. In this tutorial I’m going to demonstrate the layer mask tool. If you’ve been following along, I’m currently doing a review of all the cool new stuff in the latest version 9 of Photoshop Elements.
