Adobe Photoshop Layer Masks

Layer masks are my secret weapon of Photoshop! This tip and technique demonstrates how to use them to easily combine images together. You will learn to use the gradient tool to create gentle gradations from one image to another but really, it’s just the tip of the ice burg. If you want to effect only certain areas, be sure to try painting in the mask with one of the many painting tool available in Photoshop. Just remem- ber, paint with black to hide the image on the layer, paint with white to reveal the image on the layer. For varying degrees of transparency, try painting with different amounts of opacity.


The More you use layer mask the more professional touch you can give to your pictures

Sybex | 2007 | ISBN: 0470114541 | 252 pages | PDF | 9,6 MB

Digital imaging technology has been used in forensics since at least 1992, yet until now there?has been?no practical instruction available to address the unique issues of image processing in an everyday forensic environment.

Photoshop CS3 for Forensics Professionals serves the everyday, real-world needs of law enforcement and legal personnel dealing with digital images (including both photos and video stills). This book is an excellent tool for:
Law enforcement personnel, from crime scene and arson investigators, detectives, and patrol officers to forensic photographers, fingerprint examiners, video nalysts, tool mark and footwear examiners, and criminalists.
Security pros in such fields as private investigation, insurance, fraud detection, and loss prevention.
Scientific and technical users of Photoshop with workflows similar to law enforcement, such as medical photographers, research imaging experts, engineering and architecture staff, and industrial photographers.
Staff responsible for maintaining a photo archive or printing images for court.
Photoshop CS3 for Forensics Professionals is the only book to provide forensics professionals with specific answers to their imaging questions. This is the perfect resource for those who want to move from simple theory to the essential skills needed to be more effective. This resource is dividied into three parts:
Part I: The Essentials is about setting up your workflow, archiving your images, and familiarizing yourself with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge, including the setting up of preferences. Also covered are the best practices in writing reports and providing courtroom testimony.
Part II: The Digital Darkroom teaches how to use Photoshop to accomplish what traditionally was done in the darkroom, from correcting color casts to making prints and exhibits for courtroom use.
Part III: Image Analysis & Enhancement covers techniques for clarifying images so that details can be better viewed and used for analysis or comparison, from contrast enhancement and pattern removal to even forensic video analysis.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Selections and Masks

Being able to make accurate selections is one of the most important skills in Photoshop® and making those selections quickly and painlessly is equally important. Join Dave Cross as he covers all the key tools and techniques for selecting and masking.
Starting from the ground up, you'll learn:

• The difference between selections and masks and why it's important to use both
• How to use selection tools individually and together as a "selection toolkit"
• Examples of which selection tool to use in different situations
• Fine-tuning selections using Quick Mask and Refine Edges
• How to use Channels to select challenging subjects such as hair
• Making masks from selections and fine-tuning masks

You'll also see when it may not be necessary to make a selection at all, and follow along as Dave works through a couple of real-world examples. Making selections and masks are two skills that you'll use time and time again and the better you become, the easier everything can be in Photoshop
