Here is the result after masking.
Step 5
We will add another rock. Open the other rock image and cut out the red outlined part.
Step 6
Copy-paste the cut out into the main document. Scale its size to the size needed. I named this layer more rock.
Duplicate the more rock layer and flip it horizontally.
Alter the shape of this duplicate by distorting. To do this, activate the free transform tool. Right-click on the document. When the transforming option shows up, choose distort. Try to alter its shape by clicking, holding, and dragging the transforming points as indicated in the screenshot.
Then mask both more rock and more rock copy layer to have the result as below:
Step 7
Open another rock image. Cut out the selected part of the rock.
Step 8
Do almost similar way to this cut out as the previous ones. Copy-paste to the main document, duplicate, place where needed, and mask them.
Step 9
In this step we will add more rock to de added to the custom rock. So we will repeat the similar steps as we did in the previous steps for the other cut out rocks. Open the rock image and cut out the selected part.
Step 10
Add the cut out to the main document. Scale its size and position it where needed. I named this layer more rock 3
Finally, mask the cutout.
Step 11
Next, we will alter the color of the more rock 3 image by giving it a new adjustment layer is that hue/saturation. To achieve this, go to layer > new adjustment layers > hue/saturation.
When the new layer option box shows up, check the Use Previous Layer To Create Clipping Mask. This will give this new layer a clipping mask.
A layer with a clipping mask is indicated by a small downward- pointed arrow next to the layer.
Set the value of the hue/saturation as shown below.
Step 12
Duplicate the more rock 3 layer. Place the duplicate where needed. Mask it and finally give it a hue/saturation with a clipping mask the same way as in the previous step 11. Set the value as shown below:
Select all the custom rock layers in the layer panel.
Finally hit Ctrl+E to merge them into a new single layer. I named this layer middle rock. That’s it…we are done with the custom rock. I named this layer middle rock

how do you get of masking??????????

If you see red than press Q to get out of quick mask. If you dont see red, just click on the left thumbnail of your layer… the left one not the right thumbnail.
