46 Layers and Masks

Choose Mask>Add Mask from the Layers menu and then one of the

following from the submenu:

• Reveal All for a transparent mask over the whole layer

• Hide All for an opaque mask over the whole layer

• Reveal Selection for an opaque mask with transparent "holes" over

the selected region(s)

• Hide Selection for a transparent mask with opaque "blocks" over the

selected region(s)

On the Layers tab, a mask preview thumbnail appears, confirming that a mask exists.

Editing on the mask

When you create your mask you immediately enter Edit Mask mode, where you

can use the full range of painting tools, selection options, flood fills, gradient

fills, and effects to alter the mask's grayscale values. These manipulations cause

corresponding changes in opacity, which in turn changes the appearance of the

pixels on the layer itself.

The image window's titlebar shows "Mask", indicating that a mask is currently

being edited. The Color tab switches to Grayscale mode when you're editing a

mask, and reverts to the previous setting when you exit Edit Mask mode. This

means anything you paste from the Clipboard onto the mask will automatically

be converted to grayscale.

As long as you are editing the mask, you're only seeing a preview of

changes on the layer.

You can switch out of Edit Mask mode at any time to edit the active layer directly

(or any other part of the image), then switch back to resume work on the mask.

To edit the active layer:

Click the layer thumbnail to the left of the Mask thumbnail. The thumbnail

is then bordered in white.
