When a mask channel is selected in the Channels palette, foreground and background
colors appear as grayscale values. (See
“Creating temporary masks in Quick Mask mode
(Photoshop)” on page 278
.)
Examples of masks:
A.
Opaque mask used to protect the background and color the shell
B.
Opaque mask used to
protect the shell and color the background
C.
Semitransparent mask used to color the background
and part of the shell
In Photoshop, you can create masks, all stored at least temporarily as grayscale channels,
in the following ways:
•
Quick Mask mode lets you create and view a temporary mask for an image. Temporary
masks are useful when you don’t want to save the mask for later use. (See
“Creating
temporary masks in Quick Mask mode (Photoshop)” on page 278
.)
•
Alpha channels let you save and load a selection to be used as a mask. (See
“Storing
masks in alpha channels” on page 280
.)
•
Layer masks and vector masks let you produce a mix of soft and hard masking edges on
the same layer. By making changes to the layer mask or the vector masks, you can apply
a variety of special effects. (See
“Masking layers” on page 314
.)
Creating temporary masks in Quick Mask mode
(Photoshop)
Quick Mask mode lets you edit any selection as a mask without using the Channels palette
and while viewing your image. The advantage of editing your selection as a mask is that
you can use almost any Photoshop tool or filter to modify the mask. For example, if you
create a rectangular selection with the marquee tool, you can enter Quick Mask mode and
use the paintbrush to extend or contract the selection, or you can use a filter to distort the
edges of the selection. You can also use selection tools, because the quick mask is not a
selection.
Start with a selected area and use Quick Mask mode to add to or subtract from it to make
the mask. Alternatively, create the mask entirely in Quick Mask mode. Color differentiates
the protected and unprotected areas. When you leave Quick Mask mode, the unprotected
areas become a selection.
A temporary Quick Mask channel appears in the Channels palette while you work in Quick
Mask mode. However, you do all mask editing in the image window.
