Is there any way to ...

[MikeFromMesa]

I have found that I can easily replace a sky by using the Autotransparency tool, adjusting the Tolerance to a low value and slowly removing the exiting sky in sections since each selection does a removal and incrementally removing small sections allow me to "build" the transparency I want. However I found that when I try to do the same thing with the Automasking took, that is create a larger mask from individual mask "pieces", there is no way for me to do that. Or, at least, no way I have found to do that.

There does not seem to be any "Add to" and "Remove from" settings in the Automask tool that would allow me to build a larger mask from smaller pieces. Of course I can select something with the Automasking tool and then switch to the Masking Brush, but it would be far easier to build a mask in the same way I can build a transparency. Is there any way to do that in PL?

Thanks.

You can hold down Shift or CTRL while selecting.

Foolish of me. I should have realized that what I needed to do was press some extra key since so much of how PL works conforms to that paradigm.

Ctrl does not work on my Mac but Shift does. Thanks.

BTW - Is there any way to "Remove From" rather than "Add To"?

Hello Mike,

On Mac, Shift adds to and Command removes. Hope this helps!

Yes. Thank you. That answers all my (current) questions. I am sure there will be more in the not-too-distant future.
