wat is Mask?
in photoshop and for wat use does it have the Wand??

i tried many times to understand or try out wat is mask but havent got any far by myself

aswell as why when i some how erase with the eraser theres a blind spot like if the page was ripped off and it cannot be painted unless you edit

A mask is basically:

* Layer Masks are editable selections that play an important role in non destructive editing
* Layer Masks offer flexibility because they can be almost completely treated as a full gray scale image, which allows the use of filters, selection tools, adjustment tools, etc.
* They have a visual strength, meaning that with a short look on the layers you can see how they affect the image
* They offer extra flexibility by being part of vector masks, layer sets, adjustment layers, etc.
* Layer masks allow you to save selections!!

The magic wand also lets you make selections in an easy and more convenient way.

I need more clarification on the erasing thing?

The background is really annoying, just make a layer over it, makes the same effect.

aah well the erasing thing is like
let say you have background and layer 1
somehow you paint the background in layer 1
and there are some blind spots in irregular form that cant be painted and has the texture of a Chezz mat

and ok i followed you in the mask part and with the wand, now how exactly you can make a mask?
and for the wand

thanks ^^ that saved me a lot of trouble now


Btw is there a way that you can touch

Layer1 if you are let say in layer 5

i like to make more layer when it comes coloring but wat i hate is that
since is a new layer i cant touch the original layer that i want

PS

thanks
