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.
