Dear Readers:
Although I have done my very best to avoid mistakes Photoshop Masking & Compositing the gremlins of late nights, deadlines, and distractions have caused misprints to appear in the first printing of the book.
Thank you to all the attentive readers that have kindly pointed out these errors. I appreciate this very much and in case you find additional mistakes please let me know and I will post them here and correct them in future printings.
Chapter 2: Selection Strategies and Essentials
Page 35, caption for figure 2.2: Left and right callouts need to be switched
Page 37: Figure credit should read © John McIntosh
Page 42,caption for figure 2.17: I used a feather of 0, 5, 20, and 50.
Page 42, figure 2.17 The lower four images that show the results of different feathering values imply that higher feathering values reduce the size of the image. This is not true or intended. The feathering does affect both the width of the edge and the scale of the selection, but not the size of the image.
Page 45, caption for figure 2.20: Use the Polygon lasso tool to select geometric shapes.
Page 47. Switch figures 2.28 and 2.29.
Page 48/column 2/last paragraph: If an area you want to include in the selection is not selected, press the Shift key and draw along the missing contour with the Lasso or Marquee tool....
Page 54, right-hand column, fourth bullet: "The higher the Frequency, the faster the anchor points will be laid down" is not accurate. Photoshop lays down each point as fast as the next one. It is not a matter of how fast points are placed, but how often points are laid down. Higher frequency lends itself to a more accurate, higher-resolution picture or in this case, a more accurate, higher-resolution selection). Thanks to reader John S for this explanation.
Page 54/column 2/last bullet point: Is 'Pen Pressure' not stylus pressure.
Page 55/paragraph 1, reads: "...lower Width and Edge Contrast settings of 30 pixels and 5%.

Chapter 5: Masks Are Your Friends
Page149/step 3, line 2, the "...Edit > Copy, Edit > Copy,..." needs to be "Edit > Copy, Edit > Paste...
Page 153/step 3: Add Select Image > Adjustments > Invert to reverse the tonal values of the mask.
Page 159/step 5: I refer to an "Image Adjustment button" when I mean the "Create New Adjustment Layer” button.
