In this tutorial, youu2019ll learn how to use layer masks in Photoshop. If youu2019re new to Photoshop, layer masks can seem like an advanced topic. But layer masks are easy to use. In fact, a layer mask is as simple as black and white! There are so many practical and creative uses for layer masks that covering them all at once would be impossible. So for this first tutorial in the series, weu2019ll take a more general look at layer masks, covering just the basics of how they work so you can start using them right away! Weu2019ll also compare layer masks with similar features in Photoshop, like the Opacity option in the Layers panel, and Photoshopu2019s Eraser Tool, to get a better sense of just how powerful layer masks really are.
