Control(PC)/Command(Mac)-click on an adjustment layer mask or vector mask thumbnail attached to any of your middle-figure layers in the Layers palette. This will generate a selection from the contents of the mask. Create a new layer and move it below the left- and right-side groups in the Layers palette. Choose lighten from the list of blending modes in the Layer palette’s blending mode pop-up menu. Hiding selection borders When painting over dark areas like this, working within a selection border is essential in ensuring that you don’t stray onto the background. However, staring at the marching ants while you work can get distracting. Typing Control(PC)/Command(Mac)-h will hide your selection border. When the selection border is hidden, the same ...
