#1: Changing the Red Tint Color
If you like the red-tinted overlay (I do), but you’re working on an image with a lot of red in it (like a robin, or a red car, or robin sitting on a red car), you might not be able to see that tint clearly. Your first thought might be that you have to change to a different mask view, but you can actually just change the red tint color to pretty much any color you’d like. Click on the red color swatch in the bottom-right corner of the Masks panel (seen above), which brings up a Color Picker where you can click on any overlay tint color you’d like.
To reset it to red, just click on the red Custom Colors swatch in the picker, and then close it by clicking on the “X” in the top right.
#2: Duplicating & Moving Masks
If you have a mask in place and you want a copy of it—to maybe use somewhere else in that same image—in the Masks panel, click on the three dots to the right of the mask’s thumbnail, and choose Duplicate [name of mask] from the pop-up menu (as shown here).
Once you have the duplicate, you can click on its Edit Pin on your image and drag the mask to whatever position you want. Note: You don’t have to duplicate a mask to move it—you can click-and-drag an Edit Pin any time you want.
#3: Resizing the Floating Masks Panel
If you leave the Masks panel floating (rather than docking it with the right side panels – see page xx at the start of this chapter), you can have it cover less of your image by clicking on the two right-facing arrows in the right side of the panel’s header.
That shrinks the panel down to a tall, vertical strip with just the mask icons showing (as seen here, on the right).
Have a great Monday, everybody!
