Masking Options

Here are some extra techniques you can use when masking a layer or adjustment layer.

• While masking or erasing, right-clicking the mouse causes a context window of parameter
settings of the brush, and includes additional controls for pen pressure sensitivity.

• For handy reference, in the Layers panel on the upper right side of the Side Panel, you’ll see
a thumbnail image of the current mask.

• To quickly switch between Paint and Erase modes, use a shortcut key X.

• To quickly change the Diameter of the brush, use the shortcut keys [ and ]. This is very
convenient and greatly speeds up brush work.
• To quickly change the Softness of the brush, use the shortcut keys Shift + [ and Shift + ].

• If you hold down the space bar in Painting mode you can switch to Move the image mode.

This is very convenient when zoomed in for detailed brush strokes.
