Love creating masks in Photoshop? Sure you do. But how do you create complex masks for something like…oh, I don’t know, compositing in a new sky behind a tree? Don’t answer yet! In part one of my new two-part video tutorial, Send In The Clouds, I’m going to show you how to use channels to create complex masks, perfect for things like trees and hair. As if that wasn’t enough, in part two I’m going to throw in a quick look at using the patch tool to get rid of those unsightly dirt roads in the foreground of your image. But wait, there’s more. As an added bonus, if you act now…and I mean right now…I’ll show you how to use adjustment layers to give your images the extra little kick they deserve. So, what are you waiting for? Surf on over to my blip.tv channel and see it for yourself.
