mode buttons. Clicking on the Mask color box will make it to assume the foreground color. After the mask color has

been set, it will stay unchanged until you click on the Mask color box again.

Normal Mode - Normal mode can be selected by clicking the far left of the three Mask mode buttons. Normal mode

is the default mode, in which any selected surface may be painted or drawn upon.

Mask mode - Mask mode can be selected by clicking the middle of the three Mask mode buttons. Enabling the Mask

mode signifies that the specified mask color is "protected" and that any other color with the exclusion of the mask

color may be drawn, painted, or altered. The only way to disable the Mask mode is to click on the Normal mode

button to return to the default setting or to click on the Remask mode to achieve the opposite effect of the Mask

mode. The mask color "protection" only protects the color and does not apply to selections using the polygon,

intelligent, lasso, rectangle and rounded-rectangle, fuzzy select, and circle selection tools. You can, for example,

move a selected area within which there is mask color.

Mask mode to enter the Mask mode. The Remask color "protection" only protects the non-mask colors and does not

apply to selections using the polygon, intelligent, lasso, rectangle and rounded-rectangle, fuzzy select, and circle

selection tools. You can, for example, move a selected area within which there are non-mask colors.
