One of the aspects inside of the recent Masking update worth exploring a little deeper is all the new functionality added to the overlay that appears when a mask is first created. In its previous form we had the same red/ruby appearance we have now, but the options for changing the color were limited to cycling from red to green to white to black and back to red. We can still do exactly that by pressing O to show the overlay (if not already showing), then pressing Shift+O to cycle through each color. But now we can do so much more.

At the Olympics, especially, I’m always eyeing women. I don’t see them as often as I wish. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Michelle VanTine)
