This innovative product uses interactive video to explain what layer masking is and how to use it for advanced photo editing. Users will learn how to mask sections of a photo automatically using options in Adobe Photoshop CS5, as well as select areas to mask manually. The video teaches how to create a panoramic photo by combining photos, fill text with a photo, and combine (or composite) photos to create a beautiful finished image. Learning to use masks to edit just part of an image will allow users to fine-tune their photos.

Experienced instructor Tim Grey presents more than 3 hours of exceptional video tutorials, complete with lesson files, assessment quizzes, and review materials. The video is wrapped in a unique interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic and also bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow the student to work alongside in Photoshop. Project files used in the lessons are included on the disc so viewers can practice what they've learned, and interactive review questions help reinforce freshly gained knowledge.

The DVD-ROM is bundled with a printed booklet that provides supplemental material to enhance the video training.
