Join Justin Seeley for an in-depth discussion in this video Challenge: Masking, part of Introduction to Graphic Design.
- [Voiceover] Okay time once again for another challenge.…This time around, I'm gonna ask you…to create a layer mask inside of Photoshop…using the knowledge you've gained so far.…The project's actually pretty easy…and straightforward though.…We're gonna open up this pizza_peel.jpg document,…and we're gonna turn it into a silhouette…of the pizza peel holding this pizza.…Basically, you're gonna remove the brown tiles…in the background.…So using what you know so far about making selections,…refining those selections, and then creating a layer mask,…I want you to do that on this image,…so that only the pizza peel is visible.…
Once you finish that challenge,…come on back and watch my solution video,…so you can see exactly how I would go about doing this.…
