Quick Mask Mode.


Quick mask mode shows you where you have selected so as you can get a more accurate image as you're closer to the lines. 


This is a foreground image on a separate layer to the background image so as we can edit it.


To get quick mask mode you select the image and press the very bottom button on the toolbar and you can change the colour of the mask as well as the opacity. 


The mask has showed the areas that are and aren't selected and by choosing the eraser tool you can get closer to the lines of the subject which will paint them red and deselect them. 


I allows you to get closer so as the image is more accurate.


After you have erased all of the photo that we don't need you can take off the mask so as you can carry on editing the picture.


After you have removed the mask it shows the subject selected within the image.


You can copy the image by going on 'edit' and then 'copy' and then 'edit' 'paste' it so as you have a copy and then delete the original image as you now have the subject that you want without all of the unwanted parts in it.  

This is what we are left with and we can resize and move the image to where we want. 


When you have finished moving and resizing to subject you can zoom out to see how the placing looks.


This is the final placement of the subject.
