Okay, this one might be obvious to most of you, but I haven’t been using masks so far and know nothing about them. So, could anyone tell me what are Masks, what are they used for, and what’s the difference between masking and selecting?

Hi there, GooMaster!
Masks are very cool indeed! Instead of trying to tell you what they do, which these other people have done quite well, i’ll point you to a tutorial which uses them. By working through this, it is my hope that you will start getting ideas for other ways to use them. In fact, I’ll give you a few:

Have fun!
Always me, Janee
