Extreme Editing Workflow

In this lesson, I’ll review what was accomplished in a previous lesson called Dramatic B&W Architecture and show you how I could have created the image in a different way that incorporates advanced Photoshop features. We’ll learn how Empty Adjustment Layers can be used with Knockout Shallow inside a Group along with Vector Masks, Layer Masks and Mask Properties to limit where a layer appears. If that sentence didn’t make total sense to you, then you should learn a lot in this lesson.

Note: The downloadable practice image for this lesson has been compressed into a .zip archive. You will need to double-click on the file after download to expand its contents before attempting to open the image in Photoshop.
