The Lasso Fit parameter loses its influence over freehand segments of a mask if you have edited points as
follows:
■ Added or deleted points using the Add or Delete Edit modes
■ Saved and loaded a garbage mask
■ Started a new session with the application
To adjust the number of vertices using Lasso Fit:
1 If necessary, select the garbage mask you want to affect.
2 Drag the Lasso Fit field. Increase the value to decrease the number of points in the freehand segments
of the mask. Decrease the value to increase the number of points in the freehand segments.
Segments of the mask that have been drawn freehand are affected, while segments created by simple
clicks remain unaffected.
NOTE If you move vertices of a garbage mask and then change the Lasso Fit value, all the vertices snap back
to the original position where they were first drawn, and all animation is lost. This occurs only if the Lasso
Fit value retains its influence on the garbage mask.
Garbage Mask Nodes
When you create a garbage mask, an Axis node and a Geom node are added to the schematic. The Axis node
contains rotation, position and scaling data. The Geom node contains information about how the mask will
affect the image.
To view the schematic, select Schematic from the World View box to toggle between the Schematic view
and the previous view.

Changing the Priority Order of Masks
When you create several garbage masks on an image, you can change the order in which they are drawn,
or layered in the scene. This affects the resulting image because a mask with a higher priority has precedence
over one with a lower priority. You can use the priority order to create complex effects involving multiple
garbage masks.
To set the priority of a mask:
1 Select the mask.
