Tutorial: Quick Mask (Photoshop Only)

This is a fast way of masking off an area so changes being made are not applied to that area, but it also doubles up as a fast and easy way to select parts of an image. We use Quick Mask a lot for selecting areas and creating layers.

To use Quick Mask, you first need to go into Quick Mask Mode by clicking on the button on the Tool window. Then select the Brush Tool.

Right click the mouse on the picture to get the Brush controls up and select a size and softness that suits your needs.
