Click the Edit In Quick Mask Mode button in the Tools panel. (By default,
you have been working in Standard mode.)
In Quick Mask mode, a red overlay appears as you make a selection, masking the
area outside the selection the way a rubylith, or red acetate, was used to mask im-
ages in traditional print shops. You can apply changes only to the unprotected area
that is visible and selected. Notice that the highlight for the selected layer in the
Layers panel appears gray instead of blue, indicating you're in Quick Mask mode.

lenses. Don't worry about the hair overlapping the earpiece; go ahead and
paint over it.
