To any PS gurus out there,
I love playing around with PS. But when I stop learning new things, I become complacent with the limited knowledge I have so I want to explore masks.
Can anyone please enlighten me as to the advantages of using masks over a selection?
From reading what you can do with masks, I’ve generally used selections to do it. That is, I use a selection to mask out other areas from effects I want to apply in the unmasked or selected area.
If I want a stencil effect, I normally make a layer with the selection, and apply effects to the layer below.
What do masks allow you to do that selections, or a layer from a selection can’t do?
