- I’m a big fan of masking in Photoshop. But before you mask, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and potential frustration if you first entertain a simple idea: Blending. Multiply, Screen, and Fill Opacity eagerly await you!

Thanks Deke for another great tutorial. Have been following you since 2010. Your inimitable teaching style is unmatched. Big fan.
That’s great news, thanks!
Yeees, a nice one! More of these "Deke's Techniques" kinds of videos please, and a bit less of simple feature rundowns/reviews. Thanks a lot!
That’s great to hear. I’m always eager to hear what subscribers are looking for in the future!
Thanks for an excellent reminder about blending layers Deke.
My pleasure!
Loved this, thanks! My default practice is to mask so it's great to see situations when alternatives work better.
Great feedback, thx!
Good stuff, Deke. Love the way Deke comes at ALL his vids - from the point of view of a creative pro, rather than a techie.
I’m glad to see this video is being met with general approval. I hope to do more stuff like this!
wonderful reminder
Thank you!
