Expand your photo editing capabilities with Instructor Matt MaCoy. Layer masking is a powerful tool that allows you to have full control of editing your photos without making any permanent changes. It allows you to apply edits to a specific area of an image without editing the entire photo at once. Get comfortable with using Layers and learn the difference between the different types of Layers, including: populated and unpopulated layers, layer masks, adjustment layers, and more. Next, explore how layers interact with each other. Leave with the ability to better work in layers on your own images.
