Hi all, I have only recently found this great site, good tutorials!
As for the problem people have with adding foreground colour, if you look at the bottom left of the tools palette you will see two small squares wich by default are black on top and white below, these are the same squares that will CHANGE COLOUR when you choose a different colour from the colour palette (ie when using a brush). The top square (default black) is the foreground colour (brush colour) the lower square is the background colour (canvas colour if you will) default white. If you press the D key on your keyboard (Mac or PC) you will be given the default colours (even if you had other colours previously selected). if you press the X key (Mac or PC) it will toggle these colours from foreground to background, (you can also do this in the tools pallette by using the small arrows icon on the top right of these squares). When using Option+Delete (Mac) or Alt+Backspace (PC) you are filling your selection with the FOREGROUND COLOUR ( ie if default colours are used it will be filled with black). As Photoshop uses a Black to White (Grayscale) Image to create a mask, anything White will be 100% solid, and anything Black will be 100% Transparent, and so show your image underneath. Anything shaded gray will have varying levels of transparency. Hope this helps!
(Note: using Command+Delete Mac) or Ctrl+Backspace (PC) will fill your selection with the BACKGROUND colour you have) ie if default colours will be White.
Love the site Corey, Keep up the great work!
