Menus

File:New

This menu choice opens a new window to begin a new masking session. Only one window can be open at a time.

File:Close

This menu choice closes a masking session window. When you are done masking your two source images and have saved your final image, simply close the window to discard the source and final images. This eliminates having to discard each image individually.

File:Open Image File...

This menu choice opens any RGB file type that is supported by QuickTime 3.0. See 'Opening Files' in 'Using Maskerade' for more details.

File:Discard Image

This menu choice discards the image in the current tab. This is useful if you have opened a wrong source image by mistake, or want to discard the final image and perform the masking process again.

This menu choice performs the masking operation on the two source images and places the resulting image in the Final Image tab. If either Image #1 or Image #2 tab is empty, this menu choice is unavailable.
