Painting and Erasing
How to Paint
You can paint when the button in the PAINT MASKS dialog (see
Fig. 21-3) is pressed down. If it isn’t, hold the OPTION (Mac OS) or CTRL
(Windows) key pressed down.
Painting is only possible in the POINT or LINE mode. In POINT mode, each
mouse click produces a single dot, whereas in LINE MODE a straight line
is drawn automatically between the points on which you click. In both
modes you can hold the mouse button pressed down to draw lines.
Use the POINT and LINE functions in the MENU window to enable these
modes. The current mode is displayed in the STATUS window. To toggle
between POINT and LINE mode, you can also hold the SHIFT key pressed
down when you are brushing.
How to Erase

Note:
You can erase when the button is pressed down. If it isn’t, hold the
OPTION (Mac OS) or CTRL (Windows) key pressed down.
Click to erase a single dot, hold the mouse button pressed down to erase
mask areas.
When erasing 8-bit masks, the brush border is sharp by default. However,
the ERASER EFFECTS function in the MENU window allows you to use
the current brush border for erasing. Thus you can create blurred borders,
depending on the current brush border setting.
