WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Adobe Photoshop Masking Layers/Hedlines
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Layer masks in Photoshop are an essential tool for enhancing your creativity and flexibility when working with images. They allow us to hide or reveal parts of an image or layer without permanently erasing any content. They are also great for creating unique graphics!
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice creating a unique headline for our yearbook by adding a layer mask!
This will save the file to your Yearbook folder!
