Chapter 15 — Edit List | Adjust Section 145
Paint & Fill Mask Section
The “Paint & Fill Mask” section controls the effect made by a selection brush, selection gradient, or the fill
and remove tools.
The effect of the “Paint & Fill Mask” section is considered in combination with the other types of selective
control provided within an adjust step. The effect of the “Paint & Fill Mask” section is applied on top of both
the
Base Mask slider and selection control points. Selections made with the selection brush, selection
gradient, and fill and remove tools will be made to the current step, regardless of the selection made in the
Base Mask slider and by selection control points.
To remove the effect of a brush, selection gradient, or the fill and remove tools, click on the delete button
next to the “Paint & Fill Mask” section.
Feather
The
Feather slider enables you to soften the edges of selections made by the selection brush, lasso, or
marquee tools.
Move the
Feather slider to the right to increase the amount of softening that is applied to the edges of
the selection.
