Masking in Adobe PhotoShop

Here is the making of the bird mask. I used only printed flats that Russell sent me from Adobe. Barely made it-almost ran out of solid blue.

New Bird Mask

Greetings-
I created this as an inspired project for Adobe Systems with Russell Preston Brown. He showed me a very simple mask, made from a Photoshop box. The mask had two holes for the eyes and a large hole for the mouth. We both thought it would be cool to enhance this simple Photoshop masking idea and show how to make a feathered mask with Photoshop CS4. This bird mask was made entirely out of Adobe Photoshop CS4 boxes. Masking, feathering, packaging...it's all there!
