2. Deleting and Erasing Instead of Masking
This bad habit is also very common among Photoshop users. Deleting and erasing parts of a layer’s content is a very destructive way of editing. To avoid losing image content you should always consider utilizing one of the following features in Photoshop.- A Pixel Mask
- A Vector Mask
- A Clipping Mask
The easiest way to hide parts of a layer is by adding a mask to the layer. Masking will only temporarily hide the selected parts of a layer, which can always be made visible again by deactivating the mask.
