Using the Masking Brush
New in PhotoTools 2 is the ability to selectively apply each effect in the PhotoTools stack. Users can use the new Masking Brush to selectively apply each effect to the image. This opens a whole new world of control for PhotoTools 2 users. Using the Masking Brush is just like using a layer mask in Photoshop to hide or reveal the effect in specific, user-defined areas of the image. The Masking Brush even supports pressure-sensitive Wacom tablets for the ultimate in control. Each effect that you add to the Stack has a hidden mask already applied so you can grab the Masking Brush and paint-in or paint-out an effect on an effect-by-effect basis. |

The
Masking Brush requires a video card that supports OpenGL 2.0 or higher.
If PhotoTools detects that you have an incompatible video card it will
warn you on launch and when you add a Paint-In effect. You can learn more about supported video cards here. |
