Selecting masks and masked objects using mask thumbnails
Masks and masked objects can be easily identified and selected using the thumbnails in the
Layers panel. Thumbnails allow you to easily select and edit just the mask or the masked
objects, without affecting the other objects.
When you select the mask thumbnail, the mask icon appears beside it in the Layers panel, and
the mask's properties show in the Property inspector, where they can be changed if desired.
To select a mask:
Click the mask thumbnail in the Layers panel.
The Layers panel displays a yellow highlight around a mask thumbnail when it is selected.
To select masked objects:
Click the masked object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
The Layers panel displays a blue highlight around a masked object's thumbnail when it is
selected.
Selecting masks and masked objects using the Subselection
tool
You can use the Subselection tool to select individual masks and masked objects on the canvas
without selecting the other components of the mask.
When you select a mask or a masked object with the Subselection tool, the Property inspector
shows the properties for the selected object.
