Nice write-up Ed. This is a great series for photographers that are just starting to find their way in Photoshop. One little tip I learned recently: you can create the layer mask pre-filled with black by holding down the alt/option key when you click the little mask icon.

Great article Ed! And the keyboard shortcut for filling a mask (or a layer) with your foreground colour is Alt + Backspace and for filling with background colour Ctrl + Backspace. I would really appreciate it if you would find time to do a PP tutorial on one of the images you did back during your PP Fridays, for example:Time & Tide, A New Dawn, Lothlorien or A Small Farm in the country of Florin. For example, and to be more specific, how did you accentuate the thin waves in Time & Tide and made the rocks stand out, or how did you paint the sky and not make it too obvious, etc. Thanks!
