The concept of a layer mask is that
|
|
|
|
|
- black areas are hidden
|
|
|
|
|
- white areas are shown
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so select the layer mask and draw with black on the center panel to hide or show areas
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** to hide and show the layer mask
|
|
|
|
|
- hold the alt/opt key and click on the layer mask
|
|
|
|
|
- you can also click on any other layer, or outside the layer mask to hide it

|
** reason 1: non destructive abilities
|
|
|
|
|
while you can certainly delete parts of an image and putting something else in it's place, you cannot undo that deletion so easily.

1. select the area you want to show
|
|
|
|
|
2. hit the mask button (this will automatically hide everything not selected)
