	Same old suggestion!  you will need to master the Masking technique to be
able to enjoy the next level of Photoshoping.  And it may depend on your
current Photoshop skill, mastering the Masking technique may take at least
few weeks to few months of hard parcticing to get a hang of it.

	A shortcut which won't help you to improve Photoshop skill should be able
to skip the learning is using plug-in like Fluid Mask or EZ-Mask.  There
are
around dozen plug-ins but I don't use any to know much small detail, but
just by looking at the video tutorial I can pretty much be able to smell
which does a good job and which tries to fool viewer.
