Is the following a correct description of QM or is there more to it?
"With Quick Mask mode on you can easily "paint" a mask which will be turned into a selection once you pop back into Standard Mode. Painting the mask is made by selecting the Paintbrush tool or the Pencil tool. Drawing with black will paint the mask on and drawing in white will remove the mask."
If it is just that there is a QM-mode button that allows me to enter a mask-painting mode, then I think I can do the same thing with just 2 more clicks in PSP. But I'm not sure if there is more to the QM than that... which would ruin the usefulness of APTATS? Maybe Robert sees this post and can come with some input?
Cheers, Jens.
