Channel Mask Applied
Figure 5
STEP FIVE. Open Figure 1. Now copy and paste your Suttle Mask onto the active image window for Figure 1. Use the /Dialog/Layers window and reduce the opacity so that you can temporarily see through your mask. Now use the Move tool to place your semi-transparent mask directly over the shuttle. After you have it positioned the mask, restore the opacity to 100% and anchor it to the background image. Now save your final final product.
NOTE: Compare this result to the Figure 1. Our mask reversed the darkening of the Shuttle's nose and the white spire at the top of the launch pad tower stands out clearly.
