Step 5Tweak It! Paint a Layer Mask
For the unwashed Photoshop masses, a layer mask is a black and white image where black is transparent and white is opaque.
You can use it to selectively control what parts of the layer are visible without damaging the actual layer data.
So, select a paintbrush, adjust it's opacity, and make sure your paint colors are black and white. Then just paint on your layer.
You should see subtle lighting changes where you paint, revealing the underlying layer.
