Corrections in ‘Automask’ Function
How to correct the mask created last when working with function MASKS
| AUTOMASK:
• Using TOLERANCE in the MENU window you can change the current
tolerance value (see above).
• Using REFERence COLOR in the MENU window you can discard the
selected color value. Then click on the image to select a new color.
Image areas having this color will be masked using the current tolerance.
These correction methods are only available as long as you have not
clicked FIX CHANGES in the MENU window or selected a new color by
clicking on the image. With both actions you accept the displayed mask
so that it is no longer possible to modify it.
Masking Individual Separations
When using the MASKS | AUTOMASK function you can restrict masking to
specific color separations or combinations of separations. Select
SEPARATION in the MENU window for this purpose. Select this function repeatedly
to step through all possible combinations.
In the STATUS window, below SEPARATION, the initial letters of the separations
you have selected are displayed.
Creating Vector Masks
You can also use paths to define the outline of objects you want to cut
