Thanks Chris and Rob!

Rob – yes, I feel that I’ve just arrived in the foot hills of Photoshop, not even base camp and there’s still the big mountain to climb! For this photo, I used a “Layer Mask” for the very first time. Previously, I had only used adjustment Layers.

I created a new layer of the image (Ctrl-J) then selected the dragon using the “Quick Selection Tool” then I added a “Layer Mask” which used the selected dragon to create a B&W mask of the outline of the dragon, which I then touched up using the brush.

Cheers

Dennis
