■ Working with Layer Masks 17
Reversing the colors in the mask creates an entirely
different rendition of the model, though in this case it
tends to make her look a bit masculine (see Figure 1.38).
This can be altered by moving the top layer toward the
right to “pinch” her face and neck back to a more femi-
nine appearance. You may then use the paint brush on
the Layer Mask, alternating with black, white, and
shades of gray, to remove or enhance certain areas such
as hair, the clothing, the neckline, and so forth (see
Figure 1.39). The end result will still appear a bit “out of
this world,” but you get the point. This is simply an exer-
cise in masking… and it does create some pretty interest-
ing results!
