We’ve written about using masks in Photoshop before now (see links) and we’re still of the opinion that, combined with curves and hue/saturation adjustments, masks are the key building blocks of post production. Quite often it’s difficult to make the right mask selection though and we’d like to introduce a technique that allows a more fine grained control combining different masks together; and also over the way colour, tone and saturation can be adjusted together.

First of all, a quick recap of the way masks can be used.
