Freezing areas to make a mask

There may be areas of your image which you want to protect from being warped by the Liquify tools. You can do this by 'freezing' those areas using the Freeze Tool. Frozen areas can be thawed using the Thaw Tool, if you wish them to be subject to warps once more.

To apply a mask:

Do one of the following:

With the Freeze Tool selected, drag on the page to select areas to be masked.
On the Edit menu, select Mask All to apply a mask to the entire image.

To remove areas of a mask:

Do one of the following:

With the Thaw Tool selected, drag on the page to remove areas from a mask.
On the Edit menu, select Clear Mask to remove a mask entirely from the image.

To invert masked areas:

On the Edit menu, select Invert Mask.
