As we make adjustments to our photos, we’ll take a look at using masks with layers to isolate adjustments to a specific portion of our photo.
New Terms:
- Masks - allows a layer to affect only a defined area of the canvas. History Panel - keeps track of each action taken on a document for the current session.
- Snapshot - Saves a defined point in the document history allowing you to revert to that point in time.
- Flatten Image - merge all layers in a document to a single layer, committing to a single layer.
- Marquee tool - creates a selection area to manipulate or take action on within a layer.
