Step 18: Reveal the Wings group again by click-

ing where its Eye icon used to be, and use the

Add Layer Mask icon (circle in a square) at the

foot of the Layers panel to use the selection

as a mask on the group. This will conceal the

portion of the wings that were in front of the

dancer. If there are areas

where the selection isn’t

correct, touch up those

areas by using the Brush

tool set to black. Tip:

Option-click (PC: Alt-

click) the mask thumb-

nail to view just the mask

in the image so you can

see if any areas on the

dancer need to be filled

with black. Option-click

(PC: Alt-click) again to

return to the regular

image view.

Step 19: Hold down the Option (PC: Alt) key

and go to Layer>Merge Group to create a

merged layer of the Wings group, and rename

this layer “Wings Glow.” This merged layer also

inherited a layer mask. Right-click on the mask

thumbnail and select Apply Layer Mask. Then

drag this layer beneath

the Wings group in the

Layers panel.
