This Photoshop tutorial will teach you how to use quick masks. Quick masks are similar to the selection tools but are more useful as it give you more control. Basically a quick mask is just an advanced selection tool, like the magnetic lasso tool.
For this tutorial I have used a free stock image of a bird which is available at:
Understanding quick mask mode
Step 1
Open an image in Photoshop.
Select the quick mask mode (Q). You should notice that your colour palette resets to default. (Black/White).
Step 2
Select the brush tool (B) with an appropriate brush size and paint over the area you don’t want to be seen. Your painted image should be in a red colour.
If you make a mistake by painting over the wrong area, you can use the eraser tool.
Step 3
Exit out of quick mask mode (Q) and your image should be selected. You can now cut/move your selected object as you wish.
You should now be able to use a quick mask.
