USE OF LAYER MASKS IN THE DIRTY-SOUTH




Whilst doing my research on Photoshop I found allot of the artists I listen to have definitely used Photoshop to design their album covers. In hip hop there are several areas in America where the style of music changes with this genre of music. Some of these areas are the West & East Coast, the Mid-West and the Dirty-South. Whilst researching album covers from all these areas I found that the covers from the South (ie. Texas, North Carolina and Tennessee) all use Photoshop Masks to blend images in a similar style. This makes all artist’s albums from this area instantly recognisable to people that they are from the Dirty-South. I have added a few of examples of different artist's album covers from the Dirty-South on this post, see what you think ?

Nice tutorial on the use of layer masks in the dirty-south. Actually, image masking is a post-processing technique used to isolate different parts of an image. This is useful when you want to apply your edits selectively or because you want to hide a specific portion of your photo.
