Introduction
This is the final result of this episode, the butterfly remains fully colored on the black and white background. Everything was done using a layer mask, so no single pixel was actually deleted. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. We're entering the layer and mask module. A layer mask is a way to hide part of a layer without deleting it. The rule is simple: white shows, black hides, and gray is semi-transparent.
Step 1: Black and white layer
Open the butterfly photo on top of the yellow flower.

Press Ctrl-J to duplicate the layer, name it hitam putih, then press Shift-Ctrl-U for D1 flat.
Step 1: Black and white layer
The entire photo is now gray, while the original layer remains safely underneath.
Step 2: Add layer mask
Click the mask icon below the layer panel. A white thumbnail appears next to the layer. White means the entire black and white layer is visible. The white border around the mask thumbnail indicates that what we are drawing now is the mask, not the photo.
Step 3: Selection as boundary
To ensure clean strokes, let's first limit with a selection. Select the Object Selection Tool and drag a box around the butterfly. While the selection is active, the brush strokes only affect the area within it. Select the Brush Tool, press and hold Shift and X to make the foreground black.
Step 4: Paint black on mask
With a large size and hardness 0, brush over the butterfly.
Step 4: Jia on mask
The original color reappears because the black mask hides the black and white layer within the area.
Step dum with white
Press Ctrl-D to deselect. If there are any over-areas, press X to make the foreground white, then brush to restore the black and white.
