1. Layer mask:
1. Concept: hide what you don’t need, it can be restored
2. The way to create a mask:
A picture is required to:
(1) No selection area: click the mask button directly (display all, equal to no operation)
Press ALT to click on the mask button (hide all)
(2) There is a selection area: directly click the mask button (hide outside the selection area)
Hold down ALT and click the mask button (only hide the selected area)
(3) Use with the foreground and background colors: black is transparent and white is not transparent , there are only three colors of black, white and gray on the mask, black is transparent, white is opaque, and gray is translucent (you must click the mask to use it)
(4) Disable and enable the mask: Right click on the mask to delete and disable the mask
Press SHIFT to click on the mask thumbnail
2. Quick mask:
1. Shortcut key Q: enter and exit, must be used with the brush tool
2. Use when there is a constituency
3. Similar to the layer mask, the translucent red is the hidden part
3. Clipping mask
1. Use the shape of the lower layer to limit the display area of the upper layer
2. Put the shape layer below, put the layer that needs to be clipped on top, hold down the ALT key and click in the middle of the two layers to create a clipping mask
4. Hold down the ALT key and click the small eye of the layer , all layers except the selected layer will be displayed or hidden
Five, mixed mode
2. Darkening mode (remove white and keep black):
(1) Darken: replace the bright color of the upper layer with the dark color of the lower layer
(2) Multiply : the white in the image will be replaced by any color
(3) Color deepening: enhance the dark areas in the picture
(4) Linear Burn: Same as Multiply, but the effect will be deeper and darker
(5) Dark color: darken at the same time, but can clearly identify the replaced area below
3. Brighten mode (remove black and leave white):
(1) Lighten: the opposite of darken
(2) Color screening : the opposite of multiplying the bottom (it will produce a brightening effect)
(3) Color lightening: the exact opposite of color deepening
(4) Linear lightening (addition): It is completely opposite to linear deepening, similar to color filtering
(5) Light color: the exact opposite of dark color
4. Saturation mode (brighter is brighter, darker is darker)
(1) Overlay: Overlay on the underlying pixels, retaining the contrast of the upper layer
(2) Soft light : It may become brighter or darker, a more natural transition
(3) Strong light: You can add highlights or dark tones, depending on the color of the upper layer
(4) Brightness: Saturation will become higher
(5) Linear light: You can brighten and lighten the brightness to change the color depth
(6) Point light: 50% grayscale will be produced
(7) Solid color mixing: it will increase the color saturation and produce the effect of tone separation
Smart layers remember to rasterize , CTRL+SHIFT+U to decolorize
Mix mode, try it yourself, I won’t take screenshots one by one
