Designers, photographers, and artists are using Photoshop to create fantastic
and realistic images for illustrations, fine art, and editorial content. Whether
they're landscape or portrait photographers, illustrators or fine artists, masking
and compositing are essential skills to master for combining images to the extent
that it is impossible to tell where one image stops and the other one begins.
Photoshop artist and educator Katrin Eismann takes readers through numerous
step-by-step examples, highlighting the tools and techniques used for masking
and combining images. Featuring work by leading artists and photographers, this
book focuses on the techniques used to create compelling compositions, including
making fast and accurate selections, mastering Photoshop's masking tools, and
implementing the concept and photography from start to finish. The book addresses
working with Photoshop's selection tools; selecting and maintaining fine details
and edges; working with difficult image elements, such as cloth, hair, or translucent
objects; and green-screen techniques. Katrin also addresses the creative aspects
of image compositing, including how to start with a concept, plan and execute
the photography, and seamlessly assemble the image. Combining technical direction
and inspiration, this book will expand readers' imaginations, so they can fluidly
and professionally create images with Photoshop.

This is the most complete source on the masking topic!
Look, if you're wanting to do very advanced Photoshop retouching of photography, you should have this book on your desk. Eismann has this book on masking and another on Retouching; I have them both on my desk right now and they are usually the only ones on my desk. These are not beginner's books, they assume you already know a great deal of Photoshop and that's the way it should be. The books are direct, no beating around the bush, they tell you how to do step-by-step. She uses good quality examples and the text is well written. I would also like to state, I do not know the author, publisher, or anyone associated with the publication in any manner. I am only stating my honest opinion regarding these two books.
