 |

Hi
I'm doing this tutorial where you make a selection around a house and then you make a layer mask. After that it shows you how you can actually fade the sky (part of the image that wasn't part of the selection) back in.
With the layer mask thumbnail selected he goes, Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness/Contrast and the excluded part of the image fades back in when he increases the brightness.
Well I do exactly that but the excluded part of the mask doesn't fade back in. In fact nothing happens.
Does anyone know about this, and if I'm doing something wrong, or is there another way to achieve this?
David. |

If you are using CS5 you can reduce the mask density in the mask palette.
Otherwise select the mask and use a levels adjustment, adjust the Output Level slider to alter the mask opacity. |
