The icon of mask transparency appears next to the name Background in the Layers
dialog.
The transparency mask is placed on the layer and creates transparent and opaque areas.
The area where the mask is white is opaque, where black – transparent, where grey –
semi-transparent. Before painting on the mask, create areas with different levels of
transparency. You can edit a layer mask only after it is created. All operations are
applied to the mask, not the image in the layer.
