In this edit we create a white background and we remove a really annoying light stand in Photoshop.
The white background is a really fun technique.
• Create a solid color adjustment layer
• Add a mask for only the background and floor and make this a group.
• Change the blend mode the screen (which brightens)
• Create mask for the solid color adjustment layer. Then add a mask with a linear gradient which applies more to the wall than the floor, which creates a much more realistic floor in the scene.
This edit uses a concept called "double masking" a lot. Double masking is where we have two masks and the edits only apply where the two intersect. It happens when we have a group with a mask and a layer (or another group) which also has a mask. Very useful in your Photoshop workflow.
