# Rawarrrr


Hello there; here are my 1st silly photoshops. What do you think?

# They're good.
Much better than my rubbish efforts.

# Thanks
A friend introduced me to the quick mask. It's great. Also those are my first silly photoshops - I've done a few other things for work...

# That's fantastic
What is this quick mask you speak of?

# Ah well you see
Errm press 'Q'. You can then use the brush and eraser to lay down a mask. Press 'Q' again and you'll be back in normal view with the selection round your area. It's like using that rubbery masking fluid for those who did art before computers...

What I usually do is get a rough outline with the magic wand and then finesse it with quick mask.

# you should try layer masks if you haven't already
It lets you go back and edit what's visible without erasing the original image

I did try, but for some reason couldn't get the hang of it. Maybe it's time to revisit.
