I decided to
create groups in Photoshop these are like files that help to organise the
different layers that I will have. I created two groups one is for the front
panel and spine, and the other group is for the back panel. All the layers
which are on the different panels will be organised into the different groups. By
doing this I could create a layer mask for the different layers to be stored
in.
I hide all of
layer on the front and spine group which means I masked everything, I then
selected the front and spine and deleted what was selected. This meant that the
front and spine was not masked, just leaving the back hidden/masked. When I did
this it made only the front and spine visible and everything that is on the
back should be masked out. As an object is moved outside the mask it is no
longer be visible, this helps to keep the front and spine separate. I did the
same thing to the back, except I selected the back and deleted the mask that
was applied to this.
The reason
why I masked the spine and front together is because I will be importing
another image over my current front cover image which may cross over to the
spine so for this reason I do not want the image to be cut.
