VDM Working with Layers and Selections in Photoshop: Refine selections and cutouts

Photoshop selection work can turn into a series of separate tool choices; this 256-page Dutch-language paperback, VDM Working with Layers and Selections in Photoshop, brings selections and layers into one guided subject. Written by Glyn Dewis, it’s for anyone who wants to understand how these core parts of Photoshop work together, from setting up the workspace to building a more considered selection workflow. You’ll find guidance on layer use, selection methods and cutouts, with three complete workflows that combine tools and techniques rather than treating every method in isolation. That makes the book relevant when you’re refining a selection, choosing how to cut out an element, or deciding which Photoshop approach fits a particular edit. The coverage ranges from Select and Mask and the Pen tool to channels, vector masks and Color Range, so the subject goes beyond a basic overview of selection tools. There’s also an introduction to Photoshop’s start screen and working area, including ways to configure the workspace around your own way of working. The book stays focused on layers and selections; that’s its strength if those are the parts of Photoshop you’re looking to improve.

Photoshop Layers & Selections

• Workspace orientation: The book opens with an overview of Photoshop’s start screen and workspace. It also covers setting up that working area to suit your personal workflow, so you can begin with the tools and panels arranged in a way that makes sense to you.
• Layer fundamentals: Build a clearer understanding of how layers work in Photoshop and how to use them as part of selection tasks. This connection matters when an edit involves both isolating an element and managing it within a layered document.
• Select and Mask: The book covers Photoshop’s Select and Mask tool for selection work. It sits alongside other approaches in the book, giving you a specific method to study as part of refining selections and preparing cutouts.
• Pen tool and channels: Learn about the Pen tool and channels as further routes to making selections. Seeing these methods included alongside the dedicated selection tools broadens the techniques covered for different kinds of selection work.
• Vector masks and Color Range: Vector masks and Color Range are also part of the selection coverage. The book examines these options as individual tools and techniques, so you can add them to your understanding of how Photoshop handles selections and cutouts.
• Three combined workflows: Glyn Dewis takes you through three selection workflows that bring tools and techniques together. This is a useful part of the book for seeing how separate selection methods can be combined into a complete approach to the task.
