- Layer Mask Edge Effects (05:03) Applying one or more filters to a layer mask can create cool edge effects.
- Edge Effects with Smart Objects (08:39) Building on the previous lesson, Dave shows another approach for creating edge effects using smart objects and smart filters for more flexibility.

- Create a Layout from One Photo Part 2 (06:08) In a variation of the previous lesson, Dave shows how you can also use Content Aware Scale and smart objects to create a multi-image layout from a single photo.
- Creating Patterns (10:12) Create a custom pattern from an element in your main photo to create a background for a layout.
- Mixer Brush Edge Effects (13:07) Create custom edge effects with the Mixer brush and a layer mask that is editable and reusable with other photos.
