Creating the Mask

In this section, we'll be editing the layer mask to mask out the effect from the shadows. 


Step 3

Use the Apply Image tool to apply the Background layer to the layer mask. To do this, open the Apply Image tool (Image> Apply Image) and change the Layer to Background and click OK.

Using the Apply Image tool.


Step 4

Hold the Alt key and click on the thumbnail of the layer mask.

The canvas should now show the contents of the layer mask.


Step 5

With the layer mask still activated, use the Threshold tool (Image> Adjustments> Threshold) and adjust the slider to define where the bloom Photoshop effect will be visible.

For this image, I moved the slider towards the left until the face of the daughter turns from black to white.
