This companion piece to Liz Ness’ “Composite Master Class,” from the May/June issue, shows Liz’s method for creating the quick extraction of a subject from a background.
Liz turned a happy accident into a new technique for creating masks inside Photoshop Elements.
Masks are one of my favorite Photoshop Elements tools because they make it easy to control and correct adjustments. Long after you’ve saved a psd file, you can go back adjust a mask and make changes.
