Layers, Masks and Blending 29
Using masks
Masking can also be applied to adjustment and effect filters, where you
can isolate regions (e.g., an image background) to which you want a
filter to be applied. Similarly, you can use studio-based filter masking in
PhotoFix (for adjustments) and Warp Studio (for warps).
Creating the mask
Before you can use a mask,
you have to create it on a
particular layer. The mask
can start out as transparent
(revealing the whole layer),
opaque (hiding the whole
layer), orif you create it
from a selection (opposite)
a bit of both.
The choice depends on how you want to work with the layer's contents.
By darkening portions of a clear mask, you can selectively fade layer
pixels. By lightening an opaque mask, you selectively reveal layer pixels.
To create a mask:
1. Select a layer in the Layers tab. This is the layer where you want to
create the mask, and select specific region(s) if desired.
2. Click the
Add Layer Mask button to create a Reveal All mask
(or Reveal Selection if there is one). Instead, Alt-click the button for
a Hide All Mask (or Hide Selection).
On the Layers tab, a mask preview thumbnail appears,
confirming that a mask exists.
