I can remember when masking in Photoshop was a chore. After all, I’ve been using the program for over 25 years, and it used to be a lot more involved. There were fewer (and less accurate) automatic selection tools, AI was not really a thing (at least with photography post-processing), and the process took forever<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But now, there are a LOT of easy-to-use tools that make it so easy to get a great start on your masking (or do all of the work for you with only a few clicks!). If you struggle to create selections and masks in Photoshop, these tools will soon become your best friends. You can create an automatic selection of the subject<\/strong>, the sky<\/strong>, and even the focus area<\/strong> of your image.<\/p>\n

These tools are only the handful of methods<\/strong> that you can create masks to use in YOUR Photoshop edits. Whether you want to create a composite, mask hair, or create detailed selective edits to your images, layers and masks are your biggest friend in Photoshop.<\/p>\n

Take a peek at the video below (or watch it over on YouTube<\/a>) to get the skinny on these easy-to-use tools. And, if you still have questions, please drop a comment below this post.<\/p>\n
