I am trying to duplicate a PS tutorial and I am a bit stuck .

Tutorial says :

 

duplicate the Background layer, and change the blend mode of the duplicate layer to Screen to make the whole image brighter. Then, add a black layer mask to hide this brighter version

 

I cannot work out how to add a black layer mask . 

Can you help ?

Hi rondawoolgar,

 

when you click the mask icon, the mask is usually white.

That means transparent. Nothing changes to the layer.

If the mask is black, all is hidden under the mask.

 

So, there are different possibilities to fill the mask with black. At first activate the mask (not the layer):

- "cmd & I": for invert. That will be the fastest way

- "layer - invert"

- paint bucket tool, select black, fill with black

 

Now all is hidden under the mask.

To reveal areas, paint with a white mask on the mask.
