Alternating Your Layer Mask Colors

 

When you create a selection around something for a layer mask, you either want to show the area that you selected or hide it. If you want to show the area that you select-ed, click on the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. If you would like to hide that selection, press-and-hold the Option (PC: Alt) key when you click on the Add Layer Mask icon.

Check Out Photomerge!

You can create really cool panoramic images with Photomerge. Located under File>Automate, Photomerge has taken great leaps to make your panoramic photos as painless as possible. In some cases, you can shoot holding your camera close, and shoot in a circle. Thanks so much to Dave Cross for the tip, although I’m sure many people will wonder what I am doing spinning in a circle like I’m seven years old. At least I have an excuse.
