Duplicating Masks
Duplicating Masks
1. Select the mask you want to duplicate (see page 22-5).
2. Select DUPLICATE in the MENU window.
If you have selected a Photoshop mask, the mask will be copied to the
ORIS mask files, thus creating a new vector mask (mask type PATH).
Click the SAVE IN IMAGE FILE button to copy the mask back to the image
file, thus creating a new Photoshop mask. You can then rename the
mask by selecting it in the MASK ADMINISTRATION dialog and clicking on
the mask name.
About Duplicating
Duplicating a mask is required if you want to preserve the original mask
when modifying a mask which has not yet been used on a layout. If you
modified the original mask, it would be overwritten without any warning.
If you have loaded a mask of another image with the same size (after selecting
ALL MASKS in the MENU window), the DUPLICATE function copies it
to the mask file of the current image. It is then always available even if
the other image is no longer present.
Combining Pixel Masks
How to combine two existing pixel masks of the same image into one
mask by adding or subtracting pixels:
1. Select the mask you want to modify (see page 22-5).
2. Select MASK+ (adding) or MASK– (subtracting) in the MENU window.
3. Select the mask you want to add to or subtract from the currently displayed
mask (see page 22-5). The result is displayed immediately for
each mask you select.
In the STATUS window, +/- RESULT is displayed for the new mask instead
of a MASK ID.
4. The mask is saved automatically if you directly use it to restrict an image
manipulation or if you place the cut-out on a layout. You can also
save the mask explicitly, e.g. if you want to use it later:
• To save it as a new mask, click or select STORE in the MENU
window.
• To overwrite the original mask, select REPLACE in the MENU window.
This function is unavailable if the mask has already been
used on a layout.
