In this exercise I am going to show you how to use the Behind and Clear modes…along with the Fill and Stroke commands.…I've gone ahead and restored the saved version of my Big blue marble.psd file,…found inside the 03_normal folder.…And very quickly, let me show you how the options work along with the Fill…command just so you can have a sense of what's going on here.…I am going to switch from the Rectangular Marquee to the Elliptical Marquee.…Notice that I've already set my foreground color to Red in advance.…I also have the marble layer selected inside layers panel.…I am going to draw the circular selection around this side of the earth and then…I'll go up to the Edit menu and choose the Fill command, or you can press a…keyboard shortcut Shift+ Backspace or Shift+Delete on the Mac.…
I mention that because that's what I'll be doing in the future.…We'll go and choose the Fill command.…I've set Use to Foreground Color, so that I'm filling the selection with that shade of red.…And I've got the Opacity cranked up to 100%.…
