- [Instructor] In this movie, we will continue…our conversation about masking.…And here, what I want to do is talk about how we can…convert a selection into a mask,…how we can move and change the size of our mask…or move the image around, copy and paste the mask,…and also, highlight an important preference that you want to…make sure to uncheck in your Photoshop preferences.…All right, well, let's start off…with this image that we have here.…You'll see that we have a couple other images…in this document, but I'll start with the background.…I'll unlock that one by clicking on the lock icon.…
One of the things you can do in Photoshop…is make a selection with a number of different tools.…I'll use the Elliptical Marquee tool…and just make a selection over the subject right here.…And when you have an area selected, if you next go…to the icon where you have your Add Layer Mask right here,…what it will do is it will convert…your selected area into a mask.…Now, this hasn't deleted anything.…All the content is still there.…
