A pattern or texture mask varies the image opacity in a repeated pattern throughout the image.
A gradient mask varies the opacity of an image from fully hidden to fully transparent by fading the image in or out. You can use a gradient, pattern, or texture mask to create interesting effects. You can invert the transparency of a mask, so that black pixels become white, white pixels become black, and shades of gray become their mirror value, which is the maximum value (255) minus the current value. For example, painting over an object to mask it changes the area, whereas applying a gradient fill changes the degree of masking. When you edit a mask, you change either its area or the degree of masking. Corel PaintShop Pro Help : Working with masks : Editing masks
