Selecting with Quick Mask
By Jason Mayoff & Glenn Rossiter
From PCC New Members Tutorials
These principles apply to any reasonable quality image editor,
although the exact instructions here apply to Photoshop only.
An easy way to make a selection is using Quick
Mask in Photoshop.
With an image file open, enter
Quick Mask mode by clicking
the Quick Mask button near
the bottom of your tools palette,
or by hitting ‘q’ on your
keyboard.
It will appear that nothing has
happened, but you will have in
fact been magically transported
into the rose-coloured world of
the Quick Mask.
Paint A Mask
The simplest and easiest way to start working in this
mode is to choose a brush, set foreground colour to
black and start painting.
As you paint, even though the foreground colour is
set to black, everything you brush over will become
reddish.
Making A Selection
Once you’ve painted over all the places
you want “protected”, simply click the
Quick Mask button again, or type ‘q’ on
the keyboard.
Everything except the painted area will
be encircled by marching ants
indicating it has been selected.
To toggle between the “Masked Areas”
and “Selected Areas”, Alt-click the
Quick Mask Mode button.
If this is what you want, then just move on from here, deleting or enhancing the selected area.
Adjusting The Mask
To make adjustments to your mask, go back into Quick Mask mode again (click Quick Mask button).
To Remove some Mask – set foreground colour of the brush to WHITE and 'paint away' unwanted areas of the
mask.
To Make the Mask the Selection
To enhance, delete or otherwise change the area you painted over, rather than have that area masked, exit
Quick Mask mode (type 'q' or click Quick Mask Button)
Select the inverse of what is currently selected by choosing Select -> Inverse in the menus or use the
keyboard shortcut CTRL-Shift-I.
To use an analogy, when you are painting a room,
you use masking tape to cover all the bits you don’t
want to get covered in your lovely shade of eggshell
mocha. Well, that’s the same thing you’re doing here
in Quick Mask.
Everything you cover with reddish “masking tape” will
be protected from whatever it is you’re going to do
with the image. The idea is that Photoshop will
“select” everything EXCEPT what you have
painted in red.
NB : Double-click
the Quick Mask
button to change
this!
Here are a few tips:
Painting with black as your foreground colour applies the mask to an area.
Painting with white erases mask from an area.
You can use other tools (eg: gradient) to create a mask.
Try changing the hardness of a brush when creating a mask.
In Photoshop Elements use a “Selection Brush Tool” with its MODE set to “Mask” instead of “Selection” as a
mask painter tool. ■

Where to Go For Help
Even after you've been with the Club for a while,
you might be shy or tentative about asking for
help. You may not even realise there's someone
you can ask.
Experienced members are the club's major
resource. Seek out an A-grader with your camera
or interests. They've been through what you've
been through, so ask around. You can even ask
for a Mentor, see a Committee Member if you
need help.
Experienced Members
Competition Sections Discussion Paper
Contributions, comments and suggestions should be emailed to [email protected] or mailed to The Secretary,

Meeting on 22nd July 2016.
The Management Committee have accepted Peter Lombard's proposal for Altered Reality/Creative this year,
being AR/C will be for held each three months (as a trial) I.e. March, June and September. Entries must
be in no later than the PDI judging night the month before eg February, May and August.

This discussion paper will conclude on June 30 2016. Member participation is strongly
encouraged!
To allow members to consider seriously the current PCC club competition sections and the future
of those sections. Members are encouraged to put forward suggestions including any pros and
cons for discussion at General Meetings. In the interim it is suggested that any and all
suggestions and discussions be coordinated and published in the PCC monthly newsletter
“Lenscope”.
Proposals Suggestion 1.)
The possibility for the roles of PDI and Prints to be reversed. i.e. Colour PDI, Monochrome PDI,
ARC PDI with PRINTS becoming Open and/or Set Subject Prints x 2. [Anon]
Pros; Time and cost savings as prints can become expensive and time consuming
particularly to the novice. Quality and/or size of images need not be as high since PDI
requires lower resolution. This may increase member participation. [RP/PL]
Cons; PDI competition is well established and thus is quite large. [GR] Numbers would
need to be split up for viewing on at least two nights per month. This would increase the
chance of PRINTS falling out of the completion due to it’s lower numbers. [PL/GR]
Brad King, Gerry Allen & Don Featherstone for
Canon Digital Systems and Lenses.
Suggestion 2.)
Peter Simmonds for Apple computing, Adobe
Lightroom and SONY Digital systems.
AR/C Prints B Grade be increased to bi-monthly and AR/C Prints A Grade be returned to Monthly.
[PL/LH]
Website Resources
The club website www.pccqld.org abounds with
help, like Cambridge In Color tutorials
(occasionally summarised here in Lenscope) and
many others.
PCC-LINKS page
has many useful links including online magazines
and tutorial sites, especially under the sections
General Photography and Education and
Digital Photography and Camera Reviews
(including Cambridge In Color).
DOWNLOADS page has Glenn Rossiter's Set of

Photo?, computer tips and much more.
Lenscope — April 2016
Pros; Easier to increase competition. Greater opportunity for awards and grading
advancement. [LH/PL]
Cons; Too many Prints, cost and time. Not enough member participation. Harder to
increase member participation. [PL]

Smoke &/or Steam
Optimise for the darkest
possible background and
have a strong light through
the smoke or steam.
By Grant Gillespie
According to
photographyonline
tutorials.com, steam is a
vapour of water, while
smoke consists of solid
particles like ash or other
fire by-products. Steam is
light in color, translucent
and reflective and will
hardly ever show up on a light-coloured background.
Manual exposure is
essential, to capture smoke
and steam. The light colour
will trick auto exposure into
underexposing, potentially
losing vapour like…
steam, altogether.
Steam is always in motion so the appearance of the
steam in the image is best controlled by shutter
speed. Similar rules apply to steam as to other
subjects in motion (water, fire, clouds). Speeds of
1/30 or below will produce a soft dreamy effect while
speeds or 1/60 and above will freeze the motion to
reveal more details.
Manually focus on the source of the
To use shutter speed to control the appearance of the
smoke continuous light is best. When flash is used
the motion of the steam will always appear frozen.
Try different shutter speeds and see what effect you
like most in each situation.
Open up the aperture (5.6 or 7.1) for shallow

smoke/steam. Smoke and steam move so quickly,
auto-focus will be confused.
f/125 or f/250 should freeze motion, but experiment
with speeds down to 1/60th or 1/30th, to see the
results.
depth of field, to blur the background and let in as
much light as possible, to capture such an
ephemeral subject. Experiment with smaller
apertures (higher f numbers) if more depth of field or
detail is required.
Low ISO (100) and a strong light shining through
the smoke or steam will reduce noise.
Slow shutter speeds capture a quantity of smoke
or steam, but may lose definition. It’s important to get
light through something as fine as steam and use
higher shutter speeds to freeze the details.
For indoor shooting, a dark background is
recommended, with a flash or light shining through
the vapour and a reflector on the other side at 45º, so
no light hits the backdrop.
Tricks to increase smoke in an image include
smoke pellets, steam machines, incense or even
cigarette smoke blown into frame.
Post processing begins with getting the
background as dark as possible, then adjusting for
the smoke. To create coloured smoke, experiment
with channels, colour balance or hue/saturation.

Dragon by Peter Emmett
Food
Andrew Scrivani recommends hot, liquid foods, at a
low angle on the subject with a contrasting
background to capture wispy plumes wafting off the
cup or bowl.
Shoot at table level with a dark card or a room falling
to black. In winter, shoot near a window and open the
window to allow the cold air to hit the hot soup just as
you take the shot.
Smoke is best achieved with a grill in the burning
embers stage. The grill is extremely hot and when
something marinated and moist hits it, it is going to
sear and smoke immediately.
Enjoy chasing the wisp and/or billows of smoke
and/or steam.

Steam Trains
Popular subjects for smoke and steam are steam
trains. Paul Pavlinovich recommends cold damp
weather so the steam and smoke hang in the air
where it is ejected.
Steam engines are at their most impressive when
they’re working hard as they eject the smoke and
cinders high into the air. Try to find places where the
locomotive is climbing a hill or on something
interesting like a wooden trestle bridge.
Clouds of steam easily trick auto-exposure into
underexposing. Expose for the conditions before the
smoke or steam appears, and compensate -1, to
avoid over exposure.
