I have discovered an alternative way to generate intersecting masks that eliminates the “Invert Shape” step. If you are familiar with Venn logic diagrams and the associated logic, then
a AND b = NOT((NOT a) OR (NOT b))
is equivalent to a mask intersection. To execute this in PhotoLab 9:
- Create your masks as submasks, as shown in the normal method.
- Invert every mask.
- Invert the “parent” mask.
Done!
