Transparency Mask
Transparency Mask is a tool in visual editing that lets designers control which parts of an image are visible or hidden by using shades of gray to set different levels of see-through areas. In visual editing, a transparency mask can help blend images together or reveal certain details without changing the original image. Designers can paint or draw on the mask to fine-tune what shows up, which is helpful for making smooth transitions or highlighting specific parts. Using a transparency mask can speed up the editing process, because it allows quick changes without needing to erase or cut parts of the image. This method is especially useful when working with layered graphics, as it gives more control over how each layer interacts with others.
