Conversely, if you zoom out extremely on an image, closed mask lines
may appear to be open. However, these areas can be filled without any
problems. If in doubt, check the lines with the image displayed at its actual
size (VIEW | 100%, see page 30-15).
Note:
Automatic Masking Using Brush
Cut-out creation with the brush tool (MASKS | PIXEL function) can be automated.
In this mode only pixels of a selected reference color are
masked when you brush over them. This is extremely helpful e.g. for
masking edges.
To enable the automatic masking mode, select AUTO BRUSH in the MENU
window. Now additional functions appear in the MENU window (see below).
To switch back to manual masking, select POINT or LINE.
The AUTO BRUSH mode is only available for 1-bit masks.
Painting and Erasing
Before painting you must specify the color to be masked (i.e. the reference
color). As you move the cursor, only the pixels that match the reference
color will be masked. Similar colors are also masked, depending
on the tolerance value you have specified.
1. Select REFERence COLOR in the MENU window.
Alternatively, SHIFT-CTRL-click (Mac OS) or SHIFT-right-click (Windows)
on the image window.
2. Click on the image position containing the reference color.
3. Make sure the button is pressed down. Drag the cursor across
the image areas you want to cut out.
To erase mask color, click or hold the OPTION (Mac OS) or CTRL
(Windows) key pressed down.
4. Repeat these steps as often as required.
‘Dynamic Reference’ Function
Using function DYNamic REFERENCE in the MENU window you can enable
and disable dynamic referencing of the color to be masked.
In this mode the reference color is defined automatically using the color
of the pixels within the brush. As you move the cursor across the image,
the program defines new reference colors on the basis of the pixels already
masked. As the mask areas always overlap each other when you
