This is a fabulous update, the amout of times I've masked stuff off and then wanted to move it, great job.

"Lock children" sounds a little disturbing ;) but great feature nonetheless

This would be 100% better if you explained the pre-work on Sky layer.

[@RickGladwin]

Is there a way to do this on the iPad version?

[@mlevesque33]

Cool. How did you select the sky in the first example? That's not an easy selection especially with the three on the left.

He probably used a combination of quick-select, pen tool and refinement.

@@Love_Peace_Giver That sounds like a lot of work.
