Yes, you could create a mask for the person in the back and paint black on the areas occupied by the people in the front. My incredibly rough 30-second example is below. You could also duplicate the layer with the people, create a mask for the people in the front, and apply it to the top layer of people. Then you could freely move any object between the people layer and the background layer.
bijutoha Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 I especially liked how you explained the difference between deleting and masking, and how to use gradients and shapes to create masks.

I was trying to learn the technique of how to do it. Below is my super quick and dirty example. Tip: you can temporarily make the bride's transparency 50% so you can more easily see through her and determine which parts to mask out. wedding photo.afphoto 3.21 MB · 2 downloads Yeah, you could add a mask for the bride and then paint solid black onto the mask where the people in the front are. You could also do some tweaking of the lighting (maybe set the white point of the bride), but that is another issue.

Mikey Watson Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 Hi there! I have created a manual mask, but my black is not 100% in areas due to the brush I used was not 100% (see attached)… I’m trying to use a curve adjustment layer on the mask to nudge the 98% grey up to 100%, but whatever I do with the curves, it’s not altering the mask… any ideas?
