I'm using a layer mask to remove sections of the "sushi" image to leave the tablet and phone images, but I can only do this with the brush tool, right?

I'm wondering how to do this most efficiently because the border between the "sushi" image and the tablet and phone is definitely not a straight line.

What's the best way to do this?

Remove your existing layer mask and hide the top layer.
Use the pen tool to outline the area on the base image that you want to reveal.
Turn the path into a selection using Ctl-Enter (Cmd-Backspace). Use "Refine Edge" to tweak it and apply a 1-pixel feather.
Invert the selection (Ctl/Cmd-Shift-I)
Reveal the top layer and target it.
Click the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel.


You will now have masked your overlay layer so that the device images are revealed.
