- In Photogenics, if you want to restrict an operation to a 'region', you
- just paint the region on with standard painting tools (including air
- brushes and other natural tools). Go too far, and you can just rub a
- bit out with the other button. Of course, this isn't some blind
- selection, your painting shows the selected effect in realtime, as you
- paint. If you want to make you selection more permanent, and perform
- more painting 'underneath' that selection, just hit a key/menu and your
- selection is moved to the Alpha layer (which can be edited in another
- window, just like any other image). The alpha layer can be saved just
- as any other picture, in any format you desire. From the next version,
- the paint layer can be saved and loaded too, and also attached to any
- format which supports masks/alphas (probably including GIF transparencies).
