Photoshop Foundations: Masking
Masking, to some it is the best thing since sliced bread, for others it is about as enjoyable as soggy waffles. However, masking is one of the most important topics to learn early on in your Photoshop endeavors. With masks, you can non-destructively edit your photos very quickly.

In this course, we will break masks down from the very basics to some pretty advanced techniques. We will demystify masking by breaking them down into three specific types. Ever heard the term Luminosity Masking? We will even break those down too.
