Modifying the mask

You will now make changes to the mask so it more closely follows the outline of the woman. Throughout this procedure, you may find it useful to zoom in and out to better judge your progress.

To fine-tune the mask

1. Open the Zoom tools flyout and click the Zoom tool .
2. Drag across the upper-body of the woman to zoom in closer.
3. From the Mask tools flyout, select the Mask brush tool .
4. On the property bar, type 10 in the Nib size box, and press ENTER.
5. On the property bar, click the Subtractive mode button .
   This lets you remove parts of the mask so it more accurately outlines the woman.
6. Drag over the area you want to remove from the mask.
7. When you are finished with the upper-body, repeat step 6 to fine-tune the mask around the lower-body. Pay close attention to the area between the woman's knees.

If you drag too far and the mask marquee is on top of the woman, click the Additive mode button on the property bar and drag over the area you want to add to the mask. You can see the entire picture by typing 100 in the Zoom level box on the property bar.
