Types of masks


    You can draw three types of masks:

    Rectangular

    A rectangular mask can also be square. This type of mask is previewed and rendered faster than any other kind of drawn mask.

    Oval

    An oval mask can also be circular.

    Bezier

    Use the pen tool to draw a freeform Bezier path as a mask. This is the most flexible type of mask; you can create any shape with the pen tool.

    After you first create a mask, you can resize it or rotate it as a whole (see Scaling and rotating selected masks or points), or you can change parts of it (see Changing the shape of a mask).
