TIPS
More Options!
Instead of painting directly over the whites of the eyes on the mask, you can apply the same technique to a
selection of the eye whites. Start by selecting the white areas with a selection tool such as the Quick Selection
tool ( ) as in task #22. With the selection tool still active, Control+click (right-click) the selection area. A
contextual menu appears, listing options such as Feather and Select Inverse. Click Feather, and then apply the
first Hue/Saturation adjustment layer as in step 2. The selected area appears on the layer mask automatically.
Try This!
When using any selection tool, press Shift as you click and drag to add to a selection or to add a separate
selection. Press Option (Alt) as you click and drag to remove areas from that selection.
