RayGuselli is much more than a Photoshop guru, he is actually in artist. He recently blow away the DPreview retouching forum with his latest creation turning a picture he took into a magnificent Christmas card.

Photoshop tutorial: Layer mask for beginners

In one of the comments on the recently published Adobe Photoshop tutorial “A Drop of Color” Lisa asked “I’m not understanding Step 6. It says to paint the layer mask in black but the colored areas in your picture is coming out pink and green? Please explain this part.“.
Well it seems that I simply forgot to explain what is a layer mask and/or how layer masks works, my bad sorry everyone. So I’ll dedicate this post to explain and demonstrate how a layer mask affects your picture.
