Paint Shop Pro Paint Shop Pro - Layer mask?

Does Paint Shop Pro have the functional equivalent of Photoshop's layer mask? If so, I suspect Jasc calls it something other than layer mask: What?

TIA...

Danny, there should be a mask icon (pic of a facial mask) and there should be an extension to the layer palette to the right with more masking options. These do not seem intuitive.

There should also be a mask menu towards the right with all the various masking options.

Since I don't use Photoshop, I can't answer the comparitive question, but the beta for version 8 of Paint Shop Pro now has mask layers.

Layer Masks Paint Shop Pro

Hi Danny, I only have Paint Shop Pro 5.0, but if you go to the help file they do have a section on masks. I rarely use them since I use Photoshop lately but I'm fairly sure I have seen them there. Hope this helps a little.

Danny, as Stephen said it is there and it's not intuitive to use Once you've created the mask you need to invert it (to see it) and tell Paint Shop Pro that you're wanting to edit it. Then it works pretty much the same as Photoshop.

Unfortunately, you can't add a layer mask to an adjustment layer.

There are ways to use the Paint Shop Pro mask so that it acts like Photoshop's quick mask, but I've never gotten that to work satisfatorily.
