Because layer masks are made of pixels like a layer, they offer tremendous control when blending one layer with another. Layer masks accept paint, gradients, density and contrast adjustments, and filters. In today’s Workbench, we’ll add a distressed image to a mask in order to randomize the way the host layer interacts with the layer below.
Because Filter Forge is the world’s best texture and pattern-generating software, we’ll begin by using one of the filters in its library. Then, we’ll explore a similar effect that can be produced using nothing but Photoshop.
If you’ve watched any of my recent Workbenches, you know how excited I am about Filter Forge. Put simply, Filter Forge is the most remarkable creative tool I’ve encountered in years. In upcoming Workbenches, I’ll show you even more reasons why I’m so enthusiastic about this product.
