Parameter Description
Distance Defines the mask edges using the Left, Top, Right,
and Bottom settings. These values determine the
distance, in pixels, between each edge of the mask
and the corresponding edge of the source image.
The Distance controls are locked by default; to
adjust the controls individually, click the Lock icon,
then adjust the appropriate parameter.
Invert Mask option Inverts the mask.
Softness Blurs the mask edges. The Left, Top, Right, and
Bottom determine the width, in pixels, of the
transparent band on each edge.
Square Style option Select to ensure that the corners of the mask form
right angles. With Square Style deselected, the
corners are rounded. If all the Softness controls are
at 0, Square Style has no affect.

not linked.

Extrusion.
