Detail tab, increase Sharpness to 60 (there is no need to use the Masking slider be-

tom right of the screen to open the rhino file in Photoshop as a Smart Object.

the left. Go to Select > Save Selection, name it rhino, and click OK. Then with the
selection still active, click the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel
( Figure 8.28 ) to cut the rhino from the picture ( Figure 8.29 ) .
