How to Use Quick Mask Mode

I use the Quick Mask mode in Photoshop for so many things. Sometimes I use it to create a top layer so that I can work under it without messing up my foreground. Sometimes it can be used to delete a background so that the image can be used on another background.

Quick Mask replaces old techniques of magic wand, lasso, color range, and the eraser tool.

Tutorial Highlights:

Quickly access Quick Mask mode by pressing the "Q" key on your keyboard!

Paint with black to select your object (make sure to watch your hardness and opacity).

Use the white paint to erase any mess ups with the black paint! Simple and quick!
