Member Mix Mash Posted February 16, 2012 Member Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 In the paint room, is it possible to use splines to create a mask or not? Thanks. Paul (Mix Mash) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to create a spline line but to use the spline to define an area/s to mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted February 17, 2012 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 It works fine here (3.7.5). It's the FREEZE tool (snowflake in the tool pallet). In the FREEZE menu, you have a bunch of options, including the ability to store and load saved Freeze/Masked states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I downloaded 3.7.1 (most stable version) and found that you can use splines to create a freeze mask BUT you still have the boundaries of the stroke which gets to be part of the mask. What I was looking for was to be able to use a spline or multiple splines with NO stroke to define an area to freeze to give a really clean line as opposed to relying on just a stroke and the filling that area in. Similar to using the lasso tool in Photoshop but with splines instead. Thanks for you info so far, by the way.

Cheers, Paul (Mix Mash) Without some visual reference/aid (Screen grab?), I don't know if I understand you correctly. Do you mean that the masked area bleeds beyond the spline? There is a setting in the E-Panel to adjust border with, and in the Freeze menu there is a grow and shrink frozen area. Not sure if that helps any.
