 Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2006 12:53 pm Post subject: PhotoShop 7 Mask help |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm new to the whole Photoshop and I need some help. I am trying to edit a section out of a picture, to make a signature for a website etc. Know I make a mask around the image and then I select subtract from image to fine tooth the mask around where I want the mask to be. I understand you have to click and expand the box or whatever shape mask you want to subtract from the image, but is there a quicker way, say a constant subtract from mask square? I know they have this tool in Corel Photopaint 6 etc. where the square mask tool was constant and you could just drag it along to make a perfect mask around the picture. Is there anyway to do this in Photoshop, or even easier ways?
Thanks,
JTM |

No one can help? Also let me clarify that I am trying to take a picture apart etc. Like take the head off of a body and add it to another person. What is the easiest and quickest way to shrink the mask, or subtract from it?

I think you are talking about the quick mask. If you are using a brush set to black builds the mask, and set to white erases the mask. then you press the edit in stanard mode (Q). Black on / white off.
