Is there any advantage to using a mask instead of just duplicating a layer? For example: If i was retouching a face, i’d duplicate the layer and apply a blur filter, then erase over bit i didnt want blurred allowing the original (non-blurred) layer to show through. That seems to be the same as applying a mask, the only diff being that with a mask u use a brush rather than an eraser.

If that’s retarded, please explain why!

Picture you apply a blur filter on an image and you dont apply a mask to it to get rid of the effect at certain spots in the picture. you are working on your blur filter applied image. you will need to use your eraser tool to get rid if it which is going to destruct your image. if you use a mask you dont destruct your image and you can simply redo things by switching the color from black to white to revael the effect again. ;)

Too much information for the beginner and confuses or “masks” more than reveals.

Try again.

I agree on great Tutorial, and also on their applications. I fell like this could all be accomplished with regular layers.
Correct me if i’m wrong.
