Using this method you can quickly fill in large areas by using a large Paintbrush. To get into the detailed areas you should zoom in and paint with a smaller brush or pencil (see figure 12.4).
"What if you color outside of the lines?", you ask. Not to worry. Just hit the Switch Foreground and Background Colors icon (it's the small, rounded, two-headed arrow to the upper-right of the Foreground Color, Background Color icon). With white as the current color you'll be removing the mask, and all of this has no effect on your photo!
When you're done painting your mask (see figure 12.5) you can return to Standard Mode.
Now, I've actually chosen, or painted, the wrong area. Instead of painting, and masking out Zoë, I've masked out, and therefore selected, the area around her. No problem. By choosing Select, Inverse I'll have Zoë selected instead.
Choosing Edit, Copy will move Zoë to the clipboard. I can then fill the background layer with white.
By choosing Edit, Paste I can move Zoë to her own layer above the background.
At this point I'm free to apply any sort of effects I like. I can paste Zoë over any background I want and it will (or at least it can) look quite real. Since I like to think that my niece is a little angel why not just render some clouds on the background layer (see figure 12.6).

Cute little cherub, eh?
For the last part of this demonstration we'll need another volunteer... someone a little older who's wearing some lipstick. How about you, miss. Yes the lady in the front. That's right, come on up.
Marianne (see figure 12.7) is one of my favorite models and has worked with me on many occasions.
Using the Quick Mask I'll isolate a portion of the photo of Marianne and then desaturate that portion. By doing so I'll make most of the image black & white while leaving Marianne's lipstick a nice shade of red ( see figure 12.8).
This "look", quite popular in magazine ads, was accomplished for this demonstation in a matter of minutes.
This same method can be used to isolate portions of a black & white photograph which you can then colorize. This can be a long process but well worth the effort. You can also save the selected areas that you create with the Quick Mask.
Again, once you've made the selection, using Quick Mask, you're pretty much limited only by your imagination.
