Using Layer Effects with Layer Masks in Photoshop
Layer effects and layer masks are two of Photoshop’s most powerful and creative features. Problem is, they don’t always work as expected when used together on the same layer. And the reason is because of the way layer masks and layer effects interact, which is different from how masks work with a layer’s normal contents. In this tutorial, I show you some examples of problems you can run into when combining layer effects with a mask, along with the tricks you need to know to get your effects and masks working seamlessly together.
