Hi Sandra -- I never thought of using the object selection tool to find areas Photoshop missed. That's going in my bag of tricks. I'll share a trick with you and your subscribers. You can subtract from a mask just as easily as adding. This comes in handy when masking a sharp corner. I'll use an armpit as an example. On the mask, with a black hard-edged brush, click on a spot at the edge of the arm that you want to mask out. Move the brush a little closer to the body and press Shift-click. You've masked everything between the two clicks with a sharp, perfectly straight edge. Follow the line with your eyes, and Shift-Click when the brush is inside the body. Do this as many times as you want to accommodate any curves along the way. When you get to the body, click a little bit inside the body. You've cut a chunk out of it. Switch the brush to white. Click a spot on the inside of the body (the area you want to keep) and shift-click on the other side of the area you just masked out. You've just added back part of what you just subtracted, and now you've got a nice sharp corner.
Thank you for your feedback! I've been putting a lot of effort into improving the sound quality and have had several experts review it. The feedback has been varied, so it's still a work in progress-but I'm committed to making it the best it can be!

Thanks for the tip shift click is a great trick to use. I used that a lot in the landscape days. Love these nifty tricks. 😊😊
Trackballs/gaming mouse truly are the best for digital art.
Yep they are a game changer :)
I've been doing this for over 20 years.
Using the grey layer is great with the new selection tools over the years, they add another dimension to selecting and masking
Great... but you need better audio quality! Too much echo/ reverb. Thanks.
