On this episode, host Seán Duggan provides a look at layer mask basics in Photoshop, plus we have a new book giveaway from Rocky Nook (please go to http://thisweekinphoto.com/thefix060-layer-mask-basics/ for details on how to enter to win the book). If you're new to Photoshop, you may have heard about layer masks but are still unfamiliar with some of the ways they can be used to enhance your images. In this week's demo, Seán shows you how layer masks are created, and how they can be used both for compositing as well as applying color and tonal adjustments to specific areas of the image. He also covers the basics of how to edit layer masks using selections and the Brush tool.
