Working With Masks
Using Pixel Masks on a Layout
To restrict image manipulations:
1. Create or select a mask (see page 21-1 and 22-5).
2. Start the image manipulation function.
To disable a restricting mask:
Now image manipulations will affect the entire image and all image modifications
made so far are automatically applied to the entire image (except
in the RETOUCH function).
The WORK ON (or APPLY TO) line in the STATUS window also indicates
whether a restricting mask is active. MASK is displayed there if a mask is
active, otherwise IMAGE.
To invert a restricting mask:
All image modifications made so far are automatically applied to the new
mask areas (except in the RETOUCH function).
If an 8-bit pixel masked is inverted, the mask density is increased or decreased
accordingly, e.g. from 80% to 20% and vice versa.
Using Pixel Masks on a Layout
Masks can also be created on a layout and then filled with tints, gradients,
images or filter layers. On a layout you can only create 1-bit pixel
masks.
Creating Masks

If a restricting mask is active, the MASK ON button
appears in the MENU window and is displayed as if it was
pressed down. Click it to disable the restricting mask.
Click INVERT MASK in the MENU window to mask all
unmasked image areas and vice versa. The button
is now displayed as if it was pressed down.
Click or select IMAGES | PAINT MASK. For more details refer to Creating
Pixel Masks Using Brush (page 21-2).
Saving Masks
Masks are saved automatically when the masks are filled (e.g. with a
tint) or if you have modified an existing mask. If the mask has not
been used already, it will be overwritten without any warning.
