Hi all,

As english is not my native language can anyone tell me what masking is used for and maybe can point me to some nice tutorial where masking is used ?

oh and what does "feather" means ?


Thanks

Stan



Oh and my signature in this case is not true

Welcome to the community Stan, hope you enjoy your stay. [excited]

Check here for what you need: http://photoshopgurus.com/tutorials_beginner.html -- "Layer Masks & Clip Groups".

"Feathering" refers to the softening (or fading out) of object edges; whether pixel or vector based.

Hope that helps. :B
