This tutorial covers situation when you have created vector mask but exactly opposite of what you need. This can happen in situation when is easier to outline what you do not need or what to hide with vector mask.
First thing first, to outline object you will probably use Pen tool and Paths drawing mode from options bar.
After outlining object go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All or use keyboard shortcut Ctrl + click Add layer mask icon at LAYERS palette.
And let’s say you have exactly opposite of what you need. If you open MASKS palette, Invert option is grayed out so you can not use it.
To invert vector mask follow this instruction:
First click on vector mask to select it
Select Path Selection tool from toolbox
Click inside path (anchor points will appear)
Click Subtract from shape area in options bar
That’s it! You have inverted your vector mask. And by the way you can always soften vector mask edges using Feather slider from MASKS panel.
