Masking Tutorial: Before After

The document provides instructions for masking and cutting out an object from one image and placing it into a new background image. It explains how to use the lasso tool to select the object, drag it to the new image as a new layer, add a mask to that layer, and then use the brush tool at varying sizes and hardness to paint away the background and blend the object into the new image. An example is provided of a skateboarder cut out from one image and placed into the background of Venice Beach.

Masking Tutorial

1. Open the image that you would like to cutout.

2.

2. Using the lasso tool, circle around the area you wish to cut out.
3. After you have the object circled, you will select the move tool and click
and drag to the new image.
4. The new image on top will be a new layer. Having that layer selected,
you will click the new mask button, which is located on the bottom right
corner.
5. You will now be able to hide portions of the layer or show the image
(after hiding it). Remember: white is to show, black is to hide.
6. Select B for the brush tool. On the upper right corner, you will be able
to adjust the brush size (Or you can use the bracket keys. [ For a smaller
brush. ] For a larger brush). You will also be able to adjust the hardness.
This tools helps you blend your image to the new background.
7. Now you are ready to paint away around the background of the first
image! And then youll be able to blend to images together. This is a fun
activity to create images such as the examples below. The skateboarder
is my friend Mac who has never visited Venice Beach, CA. You are also
able to create fine art and other creative images.
