All right!…I'll go ahead and Alt+Click or Option+Click on that layer mask again, so that we…can see the full-color fish integrated into the scene. All right!…I'll go ahead and zoom-out by pressing Ctrl+0, Command+0 on the Mac, and then I…wanted the fish to have a kind of cartoon thought bubble, as it was looking at…
