5 Adjust your brush size as needed to paint the areas in the mask that might not have been selected, and
thus not affected, when you created the adjustment layer.
Refine Edge (covered in Lesson 4, “Making Selective Changes in Photoshop CC,”) is actually the
best method to use to select hair, but for this exercise, you will use the Brush tool to help you under-
stand the process of painting your selection on a mask.
Paint the areas that you might have missed with your original selection.
You can make your brush size larger by pressing the ] (right bracket) key and smaller by pressing [
(left bracket) key. Make your brush harder by pressing Shift+] and softer by pressing Shift+[.
6 Press X on your keyboard to swap the foreground and background colors. Black is now the foreground
color.
7 Now, find a section of your image—perhaps the hand tucked in underneath the elbow—that has the
Hue/Saturation change applied to it in error.
You will paint this area with the black paint brush, with the mask active, to block the change from oc-
curring there.
It is very easy to deselect the mask and paint on your actual image. Avoid this by clicking once on
the Layer mask thumbnail.
8 Adjust your paint brush to the right size and softness, and paint over the hand to reveal the actual flesh
color.
