This is one simple way to mask.


Open the image.

Duplicate the image. (command + J)

Turn off the original image.

Click the "add layer mask" icon located on the bottom of the layers panel.

Also notice that the layer mask is surrounded by white brackets, this means it is what you will be working on. If the brackets are not there, just click on the layer mask once.

Select the Brush Tool. Choose a hard round brush. You can adjust the size of the brush by using the right and left bracket keys on your keyboard.

Hit D on your keyboard.

Make sure your foreground layer is black and your background layer is white.

Again, with the layer masked layer highlighted and the layer mask in white brackets. Begin to paint on the Fox image anywhere you do not want to be affected by the adjustment layers! If you make a mistake........don't worry, hit the X key on your keyboard (this swaps your foreground and background colors) and paint back over the area! Hit the X key again and continue.


It should look like this.........accept you completely mask out the Fox and the background.
